The Failure of Victorious

Well, it's been a big effort and I think I finally have something to show for it. Yes, after the first two iCarly videos, we now begin our voyage into Victorious: famous, or infamous? You decide. Starring Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Liz Gillies, Avan Jogia, and Christopher Cane, the show has amassed quite a legacy over the years, and people are even pining for a Victorious reboot these days. Today we start our journey with very little context, but trust me when I say we quickly become immersed in the details.

ok but "boys enter a ballet class to hit on girls; discover that the class consists entirely of boys who joined to hit on girls" is legit hilarious
-
I think the main issue that followed Victorious was that the main character was surrounded by literal Broadway trained musicians and we were supposed to believe that she was the most talented in comparison. Victoria is no doubt talented, but the Broadway training of 3 of the main characters is evident by comparison.
-
knowing the entire cast of victorious watched this honestly make it 10x better
-
After watching this, I really want Victorious to come back. But as an actual anti-sitcom. Like, they're all in their 30s now, but never found fame. They've continued chasing it and continually failed because they're all terrible people. So we just watch them get into antics being delusional about becoming famous stars. Except Trina. Trina became more self aware, started working hard, and actually became a big star.
-
"Cat is just a nice person, she doesnt deserve the hate from the other leads" 10 minutes earlier "Cat dates Shinjin just to steal his credit card"
-
Trina not getting selected for that reality show in season 1 is the most unrealistic thing in the world, producers would be SALIVATING to get someone like her on a reality show
-
Fun fact: I had no idea who Perez Hilton was, and thought he was the in-universe gender-swapped version of Paris Hilton
-
I have to say, I love that their rap in iParty with Victorious have ABSOLUTELY no flow whatsoever. Not as in, “they’re offbeat” but as in “they are literally talking”
-
avan (beck) has said before that he has no recollection of filming victorious because he was struggling with alcohol addiction at the time. he was absolutely plastered the entire show.
-
"This is just a fetish thing, thinly disguised as a joke" - basically sums up the entire show
-
The reason Helen went from movie theatre owner to principal is she went to community college, formed a study group and got a degree
-
One thing that really bothers me about the bird scene episode is that in all of Tori’s attempts she never actually changes the way she performs it? She just keeps adding stuff like props and costumes but her actual delivery is the same every time. It’s very style-over-substance and tbh I feel like that kind of encapsulates the the vibe of the show lmao
-
"there's an episode where andre is just really into cheese and it's never brought up again" honestly... that's what being a teenager is like
-
I really want it to be cannon that Sinjin is the most popular guy in school and the main cast are outcasts that only like each other.
-
What's funny is: Robbie is revealed to own a bunch of cardboard cutouts of Cat, with the joke being like "haha don't ask why I have this". Meanwhile, Tori is revealed, IN THE SAME EPISODE, to have a Jade costume, and it goes completely uncommented on. Nobody bats an eye. That's normal, apparently.
-
I remember watching 2:12:04 and thinking “I can’t believe he called his dad’s rewatching of Beverly Hillbillies a ‘project.’” A year later, I had no fucking idea what I was in for.
-
As a teenager at the time of this show airing, and a teenager who wrote copious amount of fic for this show, I always remember thinking: "Wait... do they take normal math and science and English classes or...?" And a lot for fic writers just.... made them take these classes. Which, in hindsight, I find funny that fanfic writers were more concerned about this than the actual writers were.
-
trina’s “chicago” had more of a cultural footprint than everything perez hilton has ever done, to this day whenever i hear the word “chicago” i still sing her song lmao
-
“we’re halfway through talking about this show” is a bold statement to make when youre only three hours into a thirteen hour project
