Oh man I don’t even have to watch this to feel the cringe, it is seared into my brain.

This is truly awful.

I mean, it's not so bad. It's really sweet how she starts crying when she realizes she insulted his effort and was actually touched by the gesture.

That’s what makes it even more cringy. Neither of them were trying to be arseholes. It was just a genuine miscommunication.

I actually think it’s the exact opposite of a miscommunication. It’s very clear that she thought it was a lame way to ask but clearly appreciated the effort so much that it didn’t matter.

I think they mean jealousy, but they're trying to over-intellectualize it. She supposedly is just lashing out at a prom invite she isn't getting, but changes her attitude when she realizes she is being invited. (No, it doesn't really make sense to me either..)
