i know this looks unusual the two biggest teen knicks shows of the early 2010s were icarly and
victorious two distinct shows that built upon the eventual growth of the online social media
space and beyond with one respecting it as i've made a video on that already and one
laughing at the ridiculousness of it with you rather than at you and i have a video on that
that i've been working on that'll be coming soon most likely the friday after next so there
was a true duality factor between both of these shows but of course since they're already taking
place in the same world as we've seen characters make some cameos in each other's episodes before
as well as play other characters and bit roles in each other's shows like shelby marx or crazy
pawnee it was only a matter of time before these massively popular shows had a proper crossover
i party with victorious treated as a special event with the run time of about three episodes
of a show opted to make it an icarly string of episodes rather than each show getting a
part of the product i mean if you split it up and you were only doing a watch through a victorious
you'd probably be confused when an episode pops up halfway through its run time and it stars the cast
of icarly for some reason so i i guess it made sense to do that and oddly enough today that this
video comes out june 11th is the 10th anniversary from when this special premiered on tv and if for
that reason alone doesn't get me a like on this video then i i don't know pretty please the
baseline premise for this episode to make sense is that carly is dating a new boy named steven who
co-lives in both seattle and los angeles because of his divorced parents and we quickly find out
that he is also dating tori as well thanks to a pic taken by robbie of steven and tori together
back in la carly ends up seeing it on social media causing her to begin questioning the
validity of her relationship andre has plans for a party at keenan thompson's house after meeting
him previously the other day and was granted permission to throw a small get-together for
his friends before keenan fully moves in and it quickly turns from a private small gathering to a
mass gathering once rex robbie's possibly sentient ventriloquist dummy tweets out an open invite for
anyone to come back in seattle sam really thinks that steven is cheating on carly while carly is
still in denial of it who's not cheating on me denial's not just a river in utah so sam catches
wind of the open invite to the party and thinks that there will be a chance to find steven there
with tori at said party due to torrey's tweet about well going to the party unlike a good friend
sam convinces carly that she truly might be being played spencer takes the three of them on a road
trip to la to first visit his ex-girlfriend who is a makeup effects artist she was convinced into
helping them out and the wheels of the plan would start turning their plan is to look unrecognizable
at the party to firsthand see if the cheating which we all know is happening already is actually
happening so let's see what they look like oh my god wha what in the never ending story is this
this is some weird uncanny valley we're all diving into here and maybe this should be in my darkest
series here on the channel anyway nightmare fuel aside it's time to head to the party
striker striker straight out stretch trick is straight up
i wanted to do it too once the party is successfully infiltrated carly spots
stephen giving the exact same charm bracelet and whispering the same sweet nothing satori that he
had gave and said to her earlier then he ends up kissing her in front of carly which pretty
much cements that yeah he's cheating on you carly comes to terms with what just happened as sam and
freddie comfort her or kind of comfort her they take off their horrifying makeup and in walks tori
who is a fan of the icarly webb show recognizes them and she gets into a back and forth with
carly about steven's cheating habits for a second it almost felt like they're about to throw down
just like the shelby marx match but things quickly de-escalated they all then begin to devise a plan
to get back at steven to put him on blast for what he has done and so he doesn't do it to others ever
again and now with the help of keenan thompson who is a fan of icarly they expose his cheating live
on icarly by tricking him into a closet as he was expecting to meet tori there waiting inside for
him he gets busted and embarrassed and runs away tori and carly become friends and everyone lived
happily ever after except for stephen he he did not aside from the main plot the episode is fun
it plays more in the favor of icarly tropes over victorious tropes where victorious usually plays
into the more satirical side of things icarly plays it more along the lines of reality taking
a bit more serious but the side stories of andre not wanting to ruin his newfound relationship
with keenan thompson culminating in keenan fully embracing the fun of everything going on
rex's rap battles trina while doing trina things and losing kids she was supposed to babysit
cat can't talk because of a throat infection and has a robot headband that speaks out what she
types on her pair phone spencer he gets in a hot tub and that's all among a few other small story
details to give every character at least something to do here listen it was a fun time i remember
when this premiered 10 years ago on tv it was a big deal aside from some characters appearing as
other characters in each other's shows this was the first real big crossover for these
two properties we already know that these shows plus so many others zoe 101 drake and josh etc
all take place in the same telematic universe so to see such a big deal for these two to come
together was awesome i think just having keenan thompson there was such a big deal on its own a
nickelodeon veteran all that keenan and kell both helped shape the future landscape for
shows like icarly and victorious to succeed today keenan brought that same energy he had
back when he was a teen doing nickelodeon work mixed with his newfound energy from snl he was
my highlight of this episode just because of how much keenan kill has meant to me and also how much
good burger has meant to me and hey don't give me attitude it's a cinematic masterpiece and
you know maybe i'll make a video on it eventually here on the channel the ending of the episode
having a combined musical number that mashes up the icarly theme song and the victorious theme
song while having all the main cast members from both shows jumping and singing it was a fun bit to
see as well the episode though doesn't do much to push either show to a new level or bring anything
truly new to the table but what it did bring was a fun celebration of both of these shows and their
growing fan bases in fact it even premiered as a movie in los angeles on june 4th the week before
its television premiere with an orange carpet and all nickelodeon went all out for this and
heavily promoted this as the big summer event you couldn't miss so at least here it was good to
see some faith and backing of the shows from the network and giving fans of both something special
it's me so yeah that was the cool way icarly and victorious came together
with their unique takes on social media and the content creator space a fun event that
enlarged this ever-growing list of shows that exist in the same universe next week we are going
to be taking a look at the icarly revival and my thoughts on it after watching it so
stay tuned for that and then the following friday i have a fun look into victorious
for you all it'll be a dive into why that show was special and possibly how they could follow
suit with a revival similar to icarly and of course more cartoon content goodness for you
