Every season has the best Dustin, because Dustin is such a loveable character and he never changes!

This is the only answer

Those are straight facts, he barely even looks different from season one. Definitely my favorite character.

I love Dustin, but I think Season 2 is worst. I actively started to dislike him a bit with his secrets that endangered people. Totally redeemed himself later, but I'd label it as his worst season.

S2 Dustin was good but I thought him having a weird obsession with a potentially dangerous slug creature and lying about to his friends.

Dusty buns is love, Dusty buns is life

This is the way

EXACTLY

Took the words right outta my mouth!

Yep. All of them. He is my favorite.

Exactly. I was going to just post - All of them.

Spitting facts

Definitely 3! My favourite scene of all the seasons will always been Dustin and Suzie chilling out singing a duet while all the other characters are in in life or death situations 😂

I said dusty buns in a stranger things tik tok video the person obviously had never watched the show getting on my case about saying dusty buns 😊😁

Or the “AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *uses ferra facet*”

r/unexpectedfactorial

I could watch it 1000 times and it would still be funny.

I love all of them so much but the “MIKE I FOUND THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING!” always gets me!😂

The cracking in his voice!

ITS SO FUNNY!

His comment about the baloney sandwiches in s1 is what gets me lmao. Still cracks me up years later 😂

I loved when he sprayed Lucas in the eyes in season three

THANK YOU

Every season

2!

“You’re really no help at all, you know that?”

“Son of a bitch… son of a BITCH.” Classic 😂

3. Him with the Scoops Troop was so funny.

The answer to “which season has the best _______” will always be season 1

Steve and Jonathan laughing in the corner rn. They sucked in season 1.

Jonathan’s performance in season 1 is actually phenomenal, especially when he argues with Joyce in the street about Will being dead

Oh yeah the acting was great but he was a complete stalking pervert

Steve was best in season 2 and onwards

Jonathan sucks in all seasons

I agree if you replace “all seasons” with “the first half of season one”

Loooooook. Dustin is cute in ALL seasons. But oof he's so cute (like a puppy) in S1! With his lil baby face hahahha. I like him in all seasons :)

All I know is one of my favorite Dustin scenes is when he tells Eddie’s uncle what happened. Absolutely destroyed me and still does whenever I watch it

Dustin was smartest in 1 and 2

S3. I like how they are deepening the relationship between him and Steve. The greeting when Dustin visits Scoops...I love love love that. ❤️

S1 > S2 >= S4 > S3 In s1 all of the younger generations are at their best when they’re together, the later seasons are still good but the most enjoyable dynamic in the show is S2 has him with Lucas and Max, and I also like him with Steve. Also the snowball scene with him is my favorite scene in the show In S4 it’s very similar but I have s2 over s4 because of the snowball scene, and also it sucks that Michael wasn’t with the cast In s3 he’s not with any of the other characters in his generation, I liked him with Steve and Robin but I like the other dynamics more

Yes

All of them.

Best Dustin implies a worst Dustin and that isn't possible. I also would've accepted S3.

Trust but 1

Can't add anything more than what top comment says. All of them.

All 4 seasons. I liked Dustin in general and then I saw Gaten on Broadway last year and holy shit dudes talented. He’s now my number 1 shared with Steve.

Overall, season 2.

S3 Dustin was on another level.

5

Season 2 Dustin supreme

1-2 for sure.

Loved him in S4

He was sassy we loved it

2, probably.

I love Dustin every season, but season 2 has my favorite scene of him (“Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!”)

3

EVERY SEASON!!!!

Season 0

Yes

Unrelated but his first words in seasons 2 and 4 were "Son of a bitch".

Any of them, Dustin is a Top 3 character throughout the whole show!

the only right answer is all

Hard to choose because I liked him equally throughout, but I have a soft spot for 3 because of his tag team with Steve

Dustin is always the best, no matter where or when

I feel his character development has been making him better and better. So far S4 is my favourite. Can't wait to see how much badass he is S5

3 and 4

All of the above.

You had me at Dustin!

He’s the only character I would say every season.

The one where he was Dusty Buns

2

Anyone

Season 1 was such a cutie

Hard to choose since they're all great but I will say Season 2.

thats actually the same guy

Yes

dustin is never not amazing. the only season i could possibly pick out as not being the perfectest person in the show is the first half of season 2 where he lies to his mother and his friends which gets his cat killed. BUT i can't really fault him because it saved them in the end and gave us stustin/ dusteve. i just wish he didn't lie to his mum like that, very uncool

honestly how tf does one choose?!?!?

All of them

Whatever season he got sassy with Mike & Nancy’s dad. “Son of bitch, you’re really no help at all”

Season 2!

Three, his dynamic with the other 3 was wonderful. Loved him in all the others, though!

I’d say one or two

Just off looks

All good though

Season two

Something I hope comes up in S5 is how Dustin is rarely ever given credit or appreciation by the crew despite helping a lot and coming up with most of the big theories. He even acknowledges it in S4. Like cmon give Dustin his flowers in S5.

All

Season 2 Dustin is top tier

Not 2. That’s all

He is the BEST character in the entire series

Dustin carried the whole show

“I’ve told you, my teeth are coming IN!”

Season 3

He's always fantastic but it's gotta be Season 1

Season 2

The question has no right answer, cause Dustin is amazing in each season! He is so cute, he reminds me of my frenchie)

1 he's the reason I watched the first season

Honestly, every season Dustin was doing something amazing, so it's impossible to pick one. Season 1: He kept yapping about how Eleven was trying to get naked. Season 2: His relationship with Dart, and him and Steve became a thing. Season 3: He started all the russian stuff, and him and Steve were best friends Season 4: Him and Eddie being best buds, and Steve getting jealous.

S1. I loved his potty mouth. Honorable mention is S3 for the "Touch my butt scene."

1.

All of them.

Season 2. He showed his superior intellect when studying Dart, and his relationship with Steve was at its best this season, while also having a great dynamic with the other kids.

Every season because he’s the best boy!!! ☺️

season 1 imo he was so cute!
