Now we're all not so secretly obsessed
with Victorious.
It's true.
I mean, the show had it all,
quirky adventures, an absolutely killer soundtrack
and, of course, relatable characters.
But it also had some truly random
and bizarre moments that made us question
What's the deal with Victoriou?
Let's dive deep into the characters
we know and love to uncover
some of their weirdest personality traits
and moments that made us stop and take a second look.
Let's start with the make it shine queen,
Tori Vega.
In the first episode, Tori says she can't sing or dance.
Wait, does anyone else know Trina's part?
Her sister does.
Me sister?
No, no, no, no. I-I just helped them rehearse.
I'm not even a student here. I couldn't go--
You know this whole thing inside and out,
the song, the choreography. You can do this. Come on.
- Uh-uh. - She said she'll do it.
And then she proceeds to suspiciously blow
the whole school away
with a perfectly choreographed song?
Me sister?
I-I just helped them rehearse.
I'm not even a student here.
Uh.
If Tori always had amazing vocals,
why didn't she audition for Hollywood Arts before?
These kids are all artsy and creative and talented,
and I'm just... normal.
Was it a fear of performing in front of others
that kept her talents a secret?
Or was it because of her siste?
Yep, I got the talent and she got the strong teeth.
[clearing throat] Speaking of Trina,
this would not be a What's The Deal video
without discussing the biggest head scratcher
of the show.
[singing]
- How was that? - Loud.
Awesome.
This girl has zero acting and singing skills.
How is she at Hollywood Arts?
We know that she got in on a psychedelic technicality.
♪ You know I'll never give it up ♪
Oh, I think this coconut milk is affecting me.
♪ And just like... ♪
Oh, yes. ♪ Gonna live it up ♪
♪ So everybody put your hands In the air ♪
How did she continue to stay a part
of the student body for so lon?
[scat singing]
Whoo hoo!
Wow. She is just awful.
It's the worst thing I ever heard.
Trina was so close to being kicked out
after another enthusiastic audition
in the episode, Helen Back Again,
but after a staged robbery,
Trina kicked butt and was saved from getting kicked out.
Help me!
Get away from her!
[screaming]
Ow! Snap. Maybe all you need to achieve your dreams
is to be super, super confident
or just be really good at Taekwondo.
With a voice like this...
♪ There's things That I could say ♪
♪ But here, in my way I wanna let you know ♪
♪ That it's all okay ♪
And a voice like this...
♪ He didn't say I couldn't sing ♪
Jade and Cat definitely had no shortage of talent.
But how did they never land a leading role?
Please tell me. Please tell me now.
I'll give you a gummy bear.
In Steamboat Suzy, Jade was casted
as Tori's understudy.
What's an understudy?
Aw, man.
So that means she didn't even get
an actual role in the musical.
Even Trina got the part of little girl
with tuberculosis. [coughing]
Seems a little sus to us.
Cat also never got a full song of her own.
Of course.
- But? - Nothing, I'm sure that's true.
It is true.
Of course, she performed duets and numbers
like Give It Up and L.A. Boys...
♪ So lets give it up For those L.A. boys ♪
But I think we can all agree
Cat deserved to show off her insane vocals.
Yeah? Yes?
Now, the concept of Rex is already super weird.
But what is the deal with him hitting on every single girl
besides Cat?
It's so gross how he's always hitting
on every girl.
I never hit on you.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Can an inanimate objects honor the bro code?
Was he being a good friend to Robbie
because he knew he had a crush on Cat?
Maybe he isn't really a puppet but an actual living thing.
- Rex! - Feel my snot.
My God. Rex! How did you... You're so big!
[unintelligible] this.
Rex, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no!
Is Robbie that good of a ventriloquist
that you don't even see his mouth move?
Okay, look at this clip. Zoom in. Closer. Stop.
See. Not even the slightest movement.
And in the bloopers episode, Robbie isn't even there.
Who is controlling this puppet?
[laughing] You're a demon.
Tory and the gang were always going
on fun adventures and rocking the latest fashions
but who was bankrolling these young teens?
You'd really find me someone to put up the money
to produce my play?
- I meant that-- - Hey!
Did she not say,
"It shouldn't be that hard to find someone
to put up the money"?
She did.
[chattering in agreement]
Throughout the series, they worked odd jobs here
and there but even minimum wage couldn't pay
for their multiple weekly visis to no zoo and karaoke dokie.
You order my food,
you chew my food, you swallow my food.
You know what comes next?
I'm not comfortable with potty talk
unless it's with my doctor.
No igmo!
You pay for my food!
Is that why we rarely see any parents?
They must be working 24/7 just to pay
for their kids' coffee consumption alone.
This is the most gigantic cup of coffee they sell.
That's not enough.
We can't be the only ones with questions about Victoriou.
You all voted and the results are in.
What made Andre's grandma lose her mind?
In the first episode, we find out
that she's afraid of pretty much everything.
There's no way you can drown at my school.
Look, look, I gotta... I got... I'll call you later!
Your grandmother's coming to the big showcase?
Yeah. It's gonna be the first time
she left her house in six years.
Why?
'Cause the woman's afraid of everything,
people, umbrellas, rabbis, bikinis, breakfast foods.
So if she saw a rabbi in a bikini eating pancakes...
The woman would burst into flames.
Throughout the series,
she's always in a constant state of fear.
What's wrong, Grandma?
The numbers on my clock changed again.
It's a clock, Grandma,
the numbers are supposed to change.
What happened to my butter?
And it seems that Andre is the only one to talk her down.
Grandma, please go home.
Okay, Andre!
But it was never truly revealed what made Andre's grandma snap.
What do you think happened?
We can assume
that she has definitely seen some [unintelligible]
What the bother you talking about?!
We've only just begun to scrath
the surface of the strange and complex world of Victoriou.
What other Victorious moments made you say
What's the Deal? Could it be the teachers,
Hollywood Arts or even the Victorious special.
Let us know in the comments.
