Eric is a vivacious character. Because of his extroverted personality, he may come out as shameless, but he really just wants to fit in. In one scene of the show, Otis and Eric decide to have a quiet conversation regarding what happened between them in the restroom. While they’re there, Eric advises Otis to fix the wanking issue that’s preventing him from getting hard for his girlfriend. Owen, who we later learn was responsible for starting the chlamydia epidemic at Moordale, steps out of a rattling restroom stall during the wonderfully charming encounter.

For fear of social awkwardness, Owen fumbled and said, “Well, I wasn’t going to come out because what you’re talking about is very strange and embarrassing, and I thought it would be awkward.”

“You should wash your hands, you dirty pig!” Eric said, delivering the most famous statement in the show’s history.

Recently, Netflix’s Twitter account named Strong Black Lead posted a compilation of Eric being iconic.

He is hilarious and loud, isn’t he? His character has received loads of love from the audience. But will he be back in season 4 of Sex Education? Read more to find out!
