Sometimes One Tree Hill gave us moments so funny, they felt like a parody of teen drama itself. Cue Jamie Scott, sitting at the dinner table, unimpressed with whatever life—or dinner—is offering. His solution? Forget the food, bring on the guilty pleasures.
Jamie declares with all the seriousness in the world:
“I’d rather watch Gossip Girl.”
The comedy is obvious—this little boy preferring an Upper East Side soap over real food—but it’s also classic Jamie: honest, blunt, and somehow making too much sense.
He sighs, almost to himself:
“It’s so bad for me.”
And yet, he still chooses it. Because don’t we all? Whether it’s binge-watching “bad TV” or indulging in comfort food, Jamie speaks the truth: guilty pleasures are bad, but irresistibly so.

Small Life Lesson
Jamie reminds us that we all have a “Gossip Girl” in our lives—something we know isn’t the healthiest, but it makes us happy anyway. And maybe that’s fine. Because at the end of the day, joy—even silly joy—matters.
