I uh wanted to put some videos up on the slap on my page because that's what most of the other
kids at Hollywood arts do and my father told me that I should try to be more like other you
know normal people Sinjin Van Cleef is the nerdy, extroverted, and um strange student at Hollywood
arts throughout the show's run Sinjin spends a majority of his time in the background of our main
character's plots but what's interesting about Sinjin is that even though he never becomes one
of the main characters of Victorious he also never gets so far removed that he becomes one of the
Shruggers we could even take it a step further by pointing out that Sinjin has been in more episodes
than Mr. Sikowitz, 46 in total which is only 2 less than Trina Vega that being said one of the
biggest contributing factors to why Sinjin isn't welcomed into our main character's social circle
is his personality. Due to his lack of social skills he disregards people's personal space,
he stalks the students he admires, and he has an unhealthy crush on Jade West can I have a fry
I spit on those I know but why is Sinjin like this what social states synergized
to synthesize Sinjin's sabotaged psyche? Scatterbrained and scuffled cerebral cortex or
supplementary surrogate parents? Sit down so we can Jaynalysize Sinjin there's not
enough people with originality so here I am to save the day Jayniac
gonna take it take it take take it down town I'm Sinjin did you hear that
Jade? Time's up then turn it off
despite being a social pariah Sinjin's well known for being tech savvy on multiple occasions he's
shown operating different pieces of machinery for theater productions spotlights, sound systems,
and even cameras just to name a few he's so good in fact that in The Slap Fight he mentions how
he hacked into TheSlap.com to change Trina's number of followers from 34 to 900 and in Prom
Wrecker he hacked the votes to make Trina become prome queen even though this was later foiled by
Tori the fact that he was able to do it in the first place speaks volumes aside from technology
Sinjin's quite skilled at a lot of other things he plays the saxophone in crazy Ponnie he builds
a vending machine prop for Tori to hide in in the Great Ping Pong Scam and in Wi-fi In The
Sky he's somehow able to break into Jade's house without her noticing hey wait a minute Sinjin,
Jade where did you get that lamp it looks exactly like the lamp I have in my den at home
oh weird are you in my house which brings us to a point that I honestly never noticed
until re-watching episodes for this video Sinjin's obsession with Jade in jade dumps Beck
as soon as he learns that Jade & Beck aren't in a relationship, Sinjin jumps at the opportunity to
flirt with her but even while the two are dating in episodes after that Sinjin still makes passing
comments about how pretty she is to which Jade always responds negatively to, then there's this
really troubling clip from the slap my name is Jade I have a boyfriend named Beck but I'm getting
tired of him I need some pizzazz in my life excuse me did you say you need some pizzazz in your life
then why do you keep dating Beck because I feel sorry for him I really want to date you you don't
think I know that you don't think I see the way you look at me oh Sinjin cuddle me, no,
why not because you belong to Beck and Sinjin don't cuddle what ain't his oh my God
I told you okay just let me yeah yeah I'll just okay what are you doing? I'm not doing anything.
No you are doing something you have two sock puppets on your wrist. No I don't
I don't have any sock puppets. Really? I was just pretending. This is not right okay, it's not right
for you to do this okay? Uh uh I wasn't hurting anybody. I was only. Is that supposed to be me?
Notice how Jade seems genuinely disturbed instead of her usual snarky comments or violent outburst
she reacts as if she's both aware of Sinjin's desperate need for help and concerned for her
own well-being it was then that I began to wonder of all people why would Sinjin like
Jade sure he also makes passes at other girls in Hollywood arts and even Northridge
but until the later seasons it's Jade that he always comes back to more on this later.
What sets Sinjin apart from other nerdy characters like say Robbie Shapiro is the fact that Sinjin
is completely comfortable in his own skin and he doesn't really try to change who he is to fit in
either in The Slap Fight after seeing all the main characters fight about who has the most followers
on The Slap Sinjin makes a very compelling point about why that shouldn't matter to them
look I just want to say you guys make me sick. Why? Because you're all great-looking and talented
and popular I mean you guys star in every play at this school and you do all the talking in class
you guys have it all it's interesting to hear Sinjin tell them this because at no point does
he say that he wishes he were a part of it he understands how social status works at
Hollywood arts and he knows that he himself would never fit inside those unwritten qualifications
heck in Tori Gets Stuck we get this exchange yeah, her, that, she got the lead
what part did you get I got cheated and humiliated. You get used to it. So we know
that Sinjin doesn't feel good about everything going on in his life but he carries on nonetheless
and if we take a look at his locker you'll notice that it's covered in chewed up food we know that
every Hollywood art student's locker is meant to be a sort of visual representation of who they
are at the very least it relates to them in some way the variety of chewed up foods could represent
the constant chewing out that Sinjin receives in his day-to-day life but the fact that it
somehow is able to stick to his locker without ever falling off could represent how resilient
Sinjin is despite the rejection he experiences. Sinjin's personality may be hard to swallow
but he won't stop being who he is no matter how many times he's spat out. Oh my God.
What happened what I just got a text they found my mom in Mexico. What's she doing in Mexico?
We're not sure she's been into some pretty funky stuff lately mother you're mijo is coming.
very little is known about Sinjin's home life it's possible that he lives at home with his
father that's disappointed with him and his sister Courtney who Mr. Sikowitz thinks is just as weird
as Sinjin as for his mother she seems to have been gone for a long time but in Freak the Freak
out Sinjin mentions that his mother gave him the watch he's wearing it's possible that his mother
left due to the shame that her children brought on her but that's just an assumption and you know
what they say about people who assume. Anyway, Sinjin seems to have a close friendship with
his best friend Burf and a guy named Grady who's only ever mentioned in his Slap videos along with
them he's close friends with the school janitor Luther so close that they have each other's cell
phone numbers but don't worry it's just so that Sinjin can let him know when there's weird Chiz
in the garbage the only other real friendship we see develop is the one between Sinjin and Beck
in the episode Victori-yes where after agreeing to watch a race with Sinjin Beck slowly begins
to realize that the two may have more in common than either would have expected it's a shame that
this was the last episode of the show it would have been nice to see where this could have gone
as far as romance is concerned Trina, Cat, and even Tori are notorious for manipulating Sinjin
to get whatever it is they want either through fear or seduction. The only girl that seems to
show genuine affection for Sinjin is Gabriella the first and only girl to enjoy his sock puppet shows
it would have been nice to see Sinjin stay with her and break out of his desperate for
a girlfriend persona but no she just disappears leaving Sinjin alone with nothing but his thoughts
Sinjin really surprised me for this video I'll admit I never really thought much of him
but doing this video wow there's a lot more to this character than I imagined I can see why so
many people were asking for a Sinjin analysis all the way back in 2020 but now there's not
that many characters left that I can analyze in Victorious admittedly there's two more videos
that I'd like to make about Victorious but you'll just have to wait for those but after those two
I don't know gang that might be the end of Victorious Analysis but who knows maybe by
then they'll finally come around to giving us a Victorious revival please please please follow
