Guess what geniuses I don't hate everything if I hated everything
that'd make me predictable and I am not predictable
Jade West is the snarky angry and incredibly talented member of the Victorious gang throughout
the show's run Jade shows a passion for directing play-writing singing and she even dances but
beneath her love for the arts lies an unrelenting hatred for a lot of things okay jade what do
you hate uh tuna fish flowers giggling the word panties but where is all of this hate coming from
how did jade become so angry at the world what drives jade's unjustifiably jarring behavior
the jeering juxtaposition of genuinely jovial parents or is she just juvenile and jaded join me
as we take a look there's not enough people with originality so here I am to save the day Jayniac
if you get me seriously angry I won't get in a fight with you
but I will retaliate in a way that'll make you sad for a long time
one of Jade's most prominent character traits is her incredibly short temper
often caused by some interesting triggers no I love sesame street sunny no I'm not
going away and you can't just say no no no no no no no no one such trigger is being touched
Jade doesn't like being touched at all in fact the only person she's okay with touching
her is her boyfriend Beck Oliver and her acquaintance Tori Vega
more on that later this abhorrence for being touched is especially notable considering Jade's
apparent enjoyment of pain okay okay this is actually causing me pain and not the good kind
so four years ago Trina did her audition and it was like torture but not the good kind I'm telling
you something's up with this guy beneath all of this anger hatred and sass lies a fascination for
things others would often consider morbid things like blood fatty lumps dead flowers and an undying
love for scissors this bile fascination is further cemented by her love of horror movies
including her favorite one appropriately titled the scissoring wait that's that one
about the girl who comes back from the dead and uses a pair of scissors on her two best
friends starting with the pretty girl you're a fan of the scissoring oh yeah
first of all I love that movie more than I love my mother and I know exactly where that house is
I even know how to sneak in the backyard this is a copy of the costume that Tony Walkerblack wore
in your favorite movie the scissoring and look these are the actual scissors from the movie
so it comes as no surprise then that even though Jade is incredibly talented at singing dancing
and acting her true passion is for directing her horror-themed audition video in Helen back again
and her melancholic play called clowns don't bounce in prom wrecker are just two examples
of Jade's style of writing and directing but I think the most important piece that Jade has ever
written and directed has to be well wishes from Wok Star it's a play that was deemed too weird
and disturbing to have it staged at Hollywood Arts it's about a girl who falls into a well and drowns
in her own tears but then gets brought back to life after her father kisses her forehead hmm
I wonder what could have inspired Jade to write something like that
I'm sick of this ice cream reminds me of my childhood you didn't have a happy childhood
my favorite toy was a hammer you finished the puzzle
it's no secret that jade's home life is less than ideal though not many direct references are made
to her childhood or her current living condition on this show if you check her slap page videos
you'll find these gems see this piercing here and this one here I got both of them about 45 minutes
after my mother told me I wasn't allowed to get my face pierced sorry mom my daddy hates everything I
stand for he just wants to hang out with his new wife and her yappy little dog and he's never kept
one promise you know the one time my dad made me breakfast the one time literally once I threw up
the whole morning spent the whole morning puking based on this information we can see that Jade
disrespects her mother and resents her father but we also learn that they're divorced this is
probably where Jade's anger and frustration comes from or at the very least where it began I'm going
to be a little transparent here and tell you that growing up in a household where your parents argue
regularly is not a fun experience no matter how nice your day might be going you always worry
about when the next fight might happen then it does happen and you hide so you don't have to see
anything but while you're hiding you begin to ask yourself questions like is it my fault
there's no guarantee that this is the type of relationship Jade's parents had
after all it's never outright stated but if her relationship with Beck is anything to go by
then maybe Jade is only living what she learned don't you think Jade and I fight a lot sure yeah
but but all boyfriends and girlfriends fight a lot don't they and these negative feelings at home can
affect how she treats all the people around her she's pushing them away because she doesn't want
to get attached she's afraid of losing someone dear to her the same way she lost her father
yes I said father not mother based on a few things Jade says throughout the show we're led
to believe that she lives with her mom not her dad if this is true then it adds a lot more credence
to Jade being worried about what her dad will think of her play well wishes I invited my dad
to come see my play on opening night he hates me he thinks that wanting to be an actor or writer
or director is stupid which brings up something I find very interesting often when people talk about
Jade West they have a tendency to assume that she hates her father but let me ask you something if
Jade really hated her father then why would she ask for his approval dad Jade my play
I thought it was excellent
thanks she doesn't have to prove anything to him and she didn't have to invite him
at all so obviously Jade's feelings for her dad go beyond just a blinding and blood-boiling hatred
maybe that's why Jade has such a serious passion for the arts it's the best outlet for her to
express these complicated feelings she has deep inside all these complicated feelings
are why Jade has so many trust issues at home and at school which is probably why
she doesn't consider the people she regularly hangs out with her friends speaking of friends
why do you feel that I don't have one decent friend that I can really count on
because maybe some people don't like you now let's talk about this for a minute
at school Jade frequently spends time with the main characters even though in the first couple
of episodes we see jade sitting alone a few times we know that she's relatively popular at
Hollywood Arts oh my god Jade I'm so sorry please don't destroy me socially I didn't mean is she
popular because she's exceptionally talented or is it because she's extremely intimidating
you decide regardless Jade does have a group of people that she can call her
friends Tori's not my friend I only tolerate Robbie no one likes Trina and Cat's basically
a pet if The Great Ping Pong Scam is anything to go by we know that at the very least
Jade's known Beck Cat Andre and Robbie for around two years her relationship with Beck is complex
so much so that I devoted an entire analysis video to it link's in the description below
overall it's obvious that she genuinely loves back she just doesn't know how to show it properly
likely because the only example of a relationship she would have seen growing up were her parents
who again are divorced Beck really doesn't help matters much sometimes even going so far as to
play on her insecurities Jade's relationship with Cat is pretty good all things considered
even though jade never says it it's obvious that she really cherishes her friendship with Cat
in fact in her Hollywood Arts yearbook Jade gives a special shout out to Cat which reads
Cat I don't know how I would make it through the school day without you even though you
annoy me sometimes plus you are really good at backup singing and allowing me to shine
there are plenty of episodes where Jade and Cat team up to work on things together
and even the slap has videos of them spending time at each other's houses
because of this I can say with utmost certainty that Cat Valentine is Jade West's best friend but
let's not forget the times Jade's been mean to Cat in the bad roommate Jade makes Cat eat bush peas
even though she hates them because Cat exposed an unflattering picture of Jade on the slap
in Crazy Ponnie Jade cuts off all of Cat's hair after Cat accidentally waxes off Jade's eyebrows
they may be best friends but Cat's not immune to Jade's vengefulness Jade's relationship with Andre
isn't really explored that much which is a shame because the few times they are on screen together
they jive pretty well the episode that stands out the most between them would obviously have to be
Jade Gets Crushed the episode where Andre develops feelings for Jade after hearing her sing lyrics
for his song as the episode goes on Andre talks about how bad it is that he has feelings for Jade
especially if she's dating his best friend Beck by the end of the episode Andre's over his crush and
the two hug each other Jade's okay with being touched by Andre and we even see it earlier in
the episode when she asks for his hand this is further cemented by Jade not mentioning Andre
at all when she lists her negative feelings towards each of her colleagues am I the only
one that thinks Andre and Jade would have been an interesting couple wait wait wait hear me out the
biggest problem with Jade and Beck's relationship seems to be a lack of mutual understanding
when Jade acts out Beck's response is usually pretty immature suppose that sometime after they
break up in The Worst Couple Jade and Andre start dating instead what brings them closer you ask
Andre's willingness to listen seriously Andre could bring the stability that Jade lacks in
her life while Jade could bring the backbone that Andre lacks in his life if you keep Beck
around you could have him struggle trying to cope with his ex-girlfriend now dating his best friend
and having a much better relationship without him then maybe Beck could finally have some character
development just a thought Jade's relationship with Robbie seems pretty neutral it's obvious
that she's not a fan of his antics but it should be noted that in Rex dies she's the one
who suggests that Robbie get rid of Rex claiming that it isn't healthy for him to keep Rex around
which is probably true as for how Jade feels about Trina well the beach I am so in no no no no no
stay away I can't wait no one likes you oh why did you invite me here we didn't you invited yourself
no one likes you why are you in that sack so I can perform in the parade right no one likes you
and finally after 16 Victorious videos and many comments about this specific topic
it's time we talk about Jade's relationship with Tori where do I begin
I've read countless interpretations about what's going on between these two let me start by saying
that the first time Jade sees Tori Tori is rubbing her boyfriend Beck's shirt so right away Jade
doesn't like Tori as revenge Jade pours a drink on Tori's head Tori's way of getting back at
Jade kissing her boyfriend in front of the entire classroom that all happens in the first episode so
when people ask why Jade is so mean to Tori um did you even watch the first episode after that Jade
goes out of her way to antagonize Tori at every given opportunity leading to what is in my opinion
the sweetest moment between the two you're just gonna let me get away with it you took detention
and you're scraping crusty pudding off the wall on a Friday night just so I won't get in trouble
pretty much well you can't be nice to me when I've been mean to you that's not how it works you see
Jade doesn't understand why Tori would be nice to her but Tori being the tenacious soul that she is
doesn't cave under pressure and tries to show Jade kindness which then brings into question
all the times Jade's been mean to Tori after this moment is it Jade's way of proving to herself that
nice girl Tori only pretends to like her does Jade genuinely dislike Tori is Jade secretly jealous of
Tori or everyone's favorite interpretation does Jade have romantic feelings for Tori
and is her hatred towards Tori the result of her repressing these feelings or maybe she's showing
affection the only way she knows how to honestly with the amount of evidence there is to support
each of these interpretations I'd rather make a video about it than try to skim through things
in this video alone if you want to see a Jade and Tori analysis please be sure to vote in the
next voting poll regardless on where you stand with the relationship one thing remains certain
what Jade does to Tori in Tori Gets Stuck is straight up diabolical Jade goes through Tori's
medical records and makes her consecutively donate two pints of blood instead of one
surprise here's my face Jade West's aggression likely comes from her insecurities about being
accepted to counteract her fears of being rejected Jade bites first she pushes people
away before they can do it to her but deep down she's worried that one day everyone will leave
her Jade isn't evil she's just complex anyway I had a lot of fun making this video and if you want
