Top 10 Most Rewatched Victorious Moments

Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 20 Rewatched Nickelodeon Moments. For this list, we’ll be looking at scenes from Nickelodeon shows that had us clicking replay on YouTube and rewind on our televisions. Needless to say, there will be spoilers. Which Nickelodeon moment never gets old for you? Let us know in the comments.

After years of will-they-or-won’t-they tension, Doug Funnie lands a date with Patti Mayonnaise. At least it might have been a date. Doug isn’t entirely sure going in and the night is hard to get a read on. The same can be said about the movie they go see, “Kiss in Cold Blood.” Is it a monster movie, a date movie, or a predecessor to “The Shape of Water?” Likewise, Patti and Doug aren’t sure if their night out is a “whatever.” Their adorably awkward banter accumulates with an almost-kiss before Patti says goodbye. While their relationship status is left unconfirmed, the ambiguous nature of the night warranted multiple viewings for further analysis. Plus, it’s the closest these two come together on the Nickelodeon series.

#19: Drake Sings at Helen’s Wedding “Drake & Josh” (2004-07)

Also in:

Top 10 Best Drake & Josh Moments

The “Drake & Josh” movie, “Really Big Shrimp,” was Nickelodeon’s highest-rated TV event upon release. Makes sense, seeing how this was intended to be the series finale. As such, the movie brings several milestones for the characters. Drake lands a record deal and Helen ties the knot with Buzz. Although the wedding is nearly ruined by a “little” fire, the parking lot makes for an unlikely romantic venue. Josh also rekindles his relationship with Mindy and becomes assistant manager. The celebration is topped off with Drake performing “Makes Me Happy.” While the movie closes out with Drake and Josh fighting over a piece of big shrimp, this deeply satisfying scene is what keeps us coming back. It leaves every major character on just the right note.

#18: Kid Danger vs. Drex “Henry Danger” (2014-20)

Also in:

Top 10 Most Satisfying Nickelodeon Kisses

Like many classic villains, Drex was Captain Man’s closest ally before turning to evil. Of course, most classic supervillains don’t spend their time picking on kids at the playground. Kid Danger intervenes, pitting Captain Man’s current sidekick against his former sidekick. What ensues is an epic showdown… or at least as epic as a showdown can be with a jungle gym serving as a set-piece. In addition to being from the highest-rated episode of “Henry Danger,” this scene has gained more than 25 million views on the show’s official YouTube channel. While the fight itself is worth several rewatches, it’s this line that cracks us up every time. With his newfound enhanced reflexes, Henry dodges Drex’s punches and gives the villain a stern spanking.

Sure, Danny’s various kisses and fake-out make-outs with Sam inspired many rewatches. Yet, we’re singling out an almost-kiss that took a more comedic turn. Venturing inside Tucker’s dream, Danny finds himself in a glorious mansion with fancy vehicles and an endless supply of chocolate milk. Also, Danny just so happens to be the janitor in Tucker’s wildest fantasy. As Tucker puckers up with some twins, Danny steps in, much to his horror. This sends Tucker screaming out of his dream turned nightmare while the audience screams with laughter. Tucker’s terrified reaction mixed with Danny’s dismayed interjection is worth more than a few replays.

#16: Loud Parents Unwrapped “The Loud House” (2016-)

Top 10 Best Songs from The Loud House

In this heartwarming episode, Lincoln learns that the grouchy Mr. Grouse won’t be able to see his family over the holidays. The Louds and McBrides rally to give Grouse a merry Christmas, greeting him with a touching carol carried by Luna. While the song will get you in the holiday spirit, that’s just one reason why this scene is so rewatchable. What really makes this moment stand out is that parents Lynn and Rita Loud reveal their faces. The two went almost fifty episodes without fully exposing themselves from the neck up, leading us to assume this was a “Cow and Chicken” or “Muppet Babies” thing. So, we had to rewind and pause to make sure our eyes didn’t deceive. Talk about a Christmas gift.

#15: Korra Confronts Kuvira “The Legend of Korra” (2012-14)

Also in:

Top 10 Most Epic Bending Moments in The Legend of Korra

“The Legend of Korra” gave us three phenomenal villains… and Unalaq. Kuvira was perhaps the most complex antagonist introduced throughout the show’s four-season run. In the vein of many real-world dictators, Kuvira views herself as the hero, even as she attacks Republic City in a giant mecha. The rousing final battle climaxes with Avatar Korra facing off against the equally resolute Kuvira, showcasing some of the franchise’s finest fight choreography. The action is so fast-paced that you want to slow it down to study every frame. It isn’t until Korra bends an energy beam, opening a new spirit portal and saving Kurvira in the process, that the villain accepts defeat. Naturally, a finale this thrilling couldn’t be viewed only once.

Being a show about a young girl who communicates with animals, “The Wild Thornberrys” had no shortage of fantastical elements. At the same time, the series wasn’t afraid to explore the harsh reality of nature. In this tear-jerking episode, Eliza bonds with Rebecca, an African Elephant her father saved two decades ago. Although Rebecca survived her encounter with poachers, nobody can save her from the circle of life. As the sun sets on the horizon, Rebecca lies down and never gets back up, leaving Eliza devastated. Even with her extraordinary powers, Eliza can only do so much. It’s a poignant moment that teaches us about the inevitability of death. No matter how many times we revisit this scene, it never fails to trigger the waterworks.

When Kenan nearly consumes a screw from a can of tuna, he takes his case to court. Kenan seems poised to receive $10 million with Kel acting as his star witness. In typical fashion, Kel’s incompetence brings Kenan’s downfall. Kel cracks on the stand, admitting that he accidentally dropped the screw in the can, meaning the tuna company holds no responsibility. Kel goes over-the-top, literally throwing himself on the mercy of the court and leaving the audience in stitches. For every kid growing up in the 90s, this was our O.J. trial and we couldn’t get enough. In addition to replaying this scene several times, there were more than a couple of kids on the playground quoting, “I dropped the screw in the tuna.”

#12: Happy Happy Joy Joy “The Ren & Stimpy Show” (1991-96)

Also in:

Top 10 Animated Show Moments That Made Us Happy Cry

In what might be the show’s most iconic episode, Stimpy invents a helmet that forces Ren to be happy 24/7. Behind Ren’s giant grin is an enraged Chihuahua who wants nothing more than to lash out at Stimpy. It’s both hilarious and disturbing seeing Ren fall victim to the happiness helmet. He’s officially pushed over the edge when Stimpy plays his favorite record, “Happy Happy Joy Joy” by Stinky Whizzleteats. After slapping butts with Stimpy a few times, Ren frees himself from the blissful madness by taking a hammer to the helmet. Even with the helmet destroyed, we still can’t get “Happy Happy Joy Joy” out of our heads decades later. But hey, at least the song taught our grandmothers how to suck eggs. #

“Rugrats” was genuine in its portrayal of how young children process difficult issues, such as the loss of a parent. The show also authentically tackled concerns that seem minor in retrospect, but huge through the eyes of a baby. Take Chuckie confronting the playground slide for example. When you think about it, not much is at stake aside from a couple of pudding pops. Yet, the creators bring real gravitas to the moment with dramatic music and intense angles. As intimidating as the slide appears, Chuckie conquers his fears and emerges as a big brave dog. The relatable nature of Chuckie’s anxiety is partly why we rewatched this scene so many times. It was so convenient having this episode on the “Chuckie the Brave” VHS.

#10: Sam Dresses as Cat “Sam & Cat” (2013-14)

Also in:

Top 10 Unhinged Moments on Nickelodeon Shows

Although this series only lasted a season, the pairing of Sam Puckett and Cat Valentine was bound to result in some rewatchable shenanigans. Where Sam is street smart and rough around the edges, Cat is sweet and naive. Their polar opposite personalities make for a memorable dynamic, especially when Cat dresses Sam up as herself for “Saturween.” Sam trades in her blonde locks for Cat’s signature red hair. She completes the look by putting on Cat’s high-pitched voice. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but Sam’s impression is clearly meant as an insult. Sam does such a good job at capturing Cat’s likeness that they could be mistaken for twins, at least that’s what a creepy guy with a doll daughter says.

“Big Time Rush” landed several notable guest stars for their Christmas special, including Miranda Cosgrove and Fabio. It’s Snoop Dogg who steals the show, however, lending his voice to not just one, but two musical numbers. The rapper kind of owes the guys after his limo hits Gustavo. Snoop gets animated for “The Yard Squirrels,” which calls “Alvin and the Chipmunks” to mind. Let’s just say that Dave Seville ain’t got nothin’ on Snoop. In addition to this ode to pajamas, Snoop and the guys put a fresh spin on the “12 Days of Christmas.” Snoop certainly contributed to this episode’s rewatchability. All we want for Christmas is more Snoop.

“Hey Arnold!” kept kids on pins and needles, wondering if the titular football head would ever get together with Helga. The Season 3 finale gave fans what they wanted when the two shared a kiss. Granted, it’s only in a play, but that doesn’t take away from the significance of the moment. It’s also fitting that the play would be “Romeo & Juliet,” as Helga is essentially a Shakespearean figure. With Arnold as Romeo and Helga as Juliet, the play reaches its tragic climax where the star-crossed lovers take their lives. Before plunging the prop dagger into her heart, Helga lays one on Arnold’s lips… and maybe gets a little too into character. Having waited almost three years for this, many rewatches followed.

#7: The Fall of Splinter “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (2012-17)

Also in:

Top 10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rip-Offs

The 2012 “Ninja Turtles” reboot appeased fans old and new, embracing the franchise’s goofy side while also returning to its darker roots. Being on a so-called “kids’ network,” though, we didn’t expect a main character to meet a brutal end. This made Splinter’s last stand all the more shocking. Although it appears Splinter has thwarted Super Shredder, we’re alerted to the impending danger as Leo looks up and lets out a scream of agony. Shredder sneaks up from behind and attacks Splinter, sending him falling to his doom. The Turtles can’t believe that their father is gone and neither can the audience. While Splinter later resurfaces as a spirit, his demise is permanent, contributing to this scene’s drama, anguish, and rewatch value.

“All That” had several recurring characters who never failed to bring the laughs. While it’s hard for us to declare a favorite, the Repairman sketches are perhaps the most rewatchable. We never knew when Repairman might appear. All we knew is that when he did drop by, he’d do so quite literally through the roof. Repairman could never fix the roofs he fell through, but he could repair… actually, he couldn’t repair anything. Rest assured that if something was broken, be it a VCR, a faucet, or a relationship, Repairman would only amplify the destruction. Just as Repairman gave his catchphrase its own echo, we could watch these sketches over and over again.

#5: Rejected “Zoey 101” (2005-08)

Also in:

Top 10 Successful TV Show Scripts That Executives Rejected

Having your own personal cheer squad might seem like a perk. When Logan enlists Zoey, Lola, and Nicole to “cheer his awesomeness,” though, he gets more than he bargains for. The three go all out, cheering an annoyed Logan out of a sound sleep. They’re just getting fired up, as they cheer along with Logan’s daily activities. This includes asking a girl out and getting rejected. The trio adds to Logan’s disappointment with an insultingly joyful cheer. This scene is rewatchable for a few reasons. The cheer is undeniably catchy and seeing Logan further humiliated is ever so satisfying. On top of that, most of us know all too well what it’s like to be rejected and this cheer sadly rings true.

#4: Jade with No Eyebrows “Victorious” (2010-13)

Also in:

Top 10 Jade & Tori Moments on Victorious

You haven’t seen Jade West get angry until you’ve watched this scene. Running through the halls in terror, Cat reveals that something happened while waxing Jade’s eyebrows. As an infuriated Jade charges onto the scene, the music suggests that we’re in store for a classic “Benny Hill” chase. Of course, it turns out someone is actually playing the saxophone. Once Jade is restrained, she unveils her browless forehead. We had to pause our TV sets to let all of our laughter out before replaying this scene again. Throughout the remainder of the episode, Jade continues to hunt Cat down, finally getting her revenge. You know what they say: an eye for an eye, an entire head of hair for eyebrows.

Speaking of “Victorious,” listening to Tori Vega and Carly Shay “Leave It All to Shine” left us wanting more. No moment in “iCarly” was more anticipated, however, than the titular character’s kiss with Freddie. The event even drew in 11.2 million viewers upon first airing, setting an all-time record for the series. Since then, we’ve rewatched this scene in particular countless times. The long-awaited kiss comes after Freddie pushes Carly out of a taco truck’s path and takes a hit for her. Although Carly continually rejected Freddie in the past, this act of bravery changes her perception. Visiting him later, she gives Freddie a kiss worthy of a hero. Unfortunately, the moment is cut short by Freddie’s mother, who fends Carly off with underpants.

With a show as quotable and meme-worthy as “SpongeBob,” it wasn’t easy to limit ourselves to one choice. If we had to single out a moment that always makes us scream laugh, however, it would have to be this. Selling chocolate door to door, SpongeBob and Patrick are confused and disturbed by their first customer’s response. Out of nowhere, the customer starts shouting, “Chocolate,” in an unhinged manner. It’s hilariously never explained why the customer reacts in such a manic fashion, even as he chases SpongeBob and Patrick down. When he finally catches them, the customer’s explosive personality defuses as he offers to buy every chocolate bar. Whenever you hear someone roar, “Chocolate,” at the top of their lungs, you know what they’re referencing.

#1: Aang Takes Away Ozai’s Bending “Avatar: The Last Airbender” (2005-08)

Also in:

Top 10 Katara & Aang Moments on Avatar: The Last Airbender

“Avatar” might be the most rewatchable show in the Nickelodeon library. That said, there are any number of moments from the three seasons that could’ve topped this list. It only makes sense, however, that we’d give our #1 spot to the moment the series was building towards: Aang facing off against Fire Lord Ozai. Although we always knew that Aang would inevitably fight Ozai, we all wondered how the Avatar could stop the Fire Lord without betraying his ethics. Aang finds the most peaceful resolution possible by unlocking the power of energybending, taking away Ozai’s Firebending abilities. The clashing colors of fiery orange with bright blue creates a perfect contrast between our hero and villain as balance is finally brought to the four nations.
