Ned's Declassified is one of the most well-aged Nickelodeon sitcoms from the 2000s
Like a fine cheese.
Yeah Dan scheneider didn't have anything to do with it 😬😅
😂
It because dirty Dan wasn’t involve in this show
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
But Ned is fundamentally different from the Wimpy Kid because Ned wanted to help other kids with his guide while Wimpy Kid wrote his diary as a guide because he thought he was better than everyone else.
I was already 20 when the first movie came out, but I actually enjoyed the movie for the same reason that most people hated it. I LIKED that Greg was a selfish jerk. I liked seeing a main character that was flawed that had to learn to grow from those flaws. It was a refreshing change of pace to not have a child main character who was a goody-two-shoes.
Harryanna Hook (she has an opinion channel here on UA-cam) even complimented how Ned is a great exemple of when they make a "perfect character" work with some good-writing, because we see a lot of shows that try to make their characters flawless just because they are the main characters but we as the audience get annoyed by this because they do make mistakes and the show won´t acknowledge that, but with Ned he is really nice and just wants to help others, even when he does "wrong" things such as stealing a notebook to study for a test, tricking his teachers to get info about some other student or change the way people see him he still does it in an funny way and it never gets awful consequences either for him or his friends or the school staff so we can´t get angry at him
So wimpy kid is like a live action Daria?
@@dapperfan44oh no the movie is great. But in the book he just kinda stays a jackass the entire series.
Also, Diary of a Wimpy Kid was originally an online comic that came out in 2004. Not to mention Jeff Kinney started working on the book with his publisher in 2001, the publisher even confirmed this. Definitely wasn’t copied. If anything, ND complied Wimpy Kid
The charm of Ned's Declassifies is precisely the absurd, the cartoonish, but well made.
Well thank you ;)
On the podcast I heard it was made by Scott Fellows who also wrote and produced Fairly Oddparents so you can see the absurd, cartoonish, exaggerated world of Ned's Declassified. But this is one of the best shows similar to Big Time Rush.
7:02 swy
Agreed!
I heard someone recently say Ned’s was like Scrubs for kids - good lessons, great humor, dreamlike surrealism, and the satisfaction of watching a group of people start something as newbies and then complete it.
There is even a crazy janitor.
funny thing is this came before scrubs I think
@@tooncastfan5151 nah scrubs started in 2001 and neds started in 2004.
omg YES! this! the janitor was one of my fav charakters xD
The majority of the main cast were first time actors. It was awesome to see their growth. Miss this show
Neds declassified school survival guide is in my opinion one of the best live action shows to come out of Nickelodeon. I would get excited watching the hijinks that occur on the show.
@DoNotreadmyprofilephotostfu
I completely agree! The actress who plays Moze did an interview recently and she said they made her wear jackets to hide her chest because they thought she looked too old. She said it made her feel really awkward all this focus was always on her chest. So great show not so great for the actresses unfortunately
I'm so glad you wrote out the whole name. That's the way it's supposed to be said
Great show but I like iCarly the most.
@@WhitneyDahlin she looked older already but isn’t that much older than ned
Damn the answer “I can’t answer that due to the fact that i’m 40” was sadly not the answer I was expecting from a 2004 sitcom. Glad it was tho. Awesome show
Yeah, knowing the Dan Schneider stuff, I was always surprised how unproblematic this show was.
@@TheSorrel that's cause this was one of those few shows NOT by dan .
@@TheSorrel When Alex said "Someone should show this part to Dan Schneider" that was some great comedy right there
@@HorrorDiva01 Yes but even around like 2015 Nickelodeon still had a few pretty great shows that weren´t made by Dan Schneider the problem is they were only interested in giving new season to those that were and the rest got cancelled too soon, such as Bella & the Bulldogs, The Haunted Hathaway, Max & Shred, 100 Things to do Before High School (this one even had some Ned Declassified vibes), WITS Academy, etc
Yea that’s y no feet were involved
The fact this show was grounded and mostly felt real and had no laugh track was enough for me to be a favorite, but also has a great overall plot, the characters are its heart and soul AND it's funny without being obnoxiously physical, this was peak Nickelodeon and it's sad how underrated it is because it came in the age of Drake&Josh and iCarly
I would say Drake and Josh more so since iCarly started 3 months after this show ended
To be honest, there could be a good plot to a reboot for the show. Ned and his friends out of college trying to figure out how to live an adult life on their own. That's definitely a struggle for a lot people. There is no need for more than 2 seasons give or take on how long and how many episodes there are.
They're starting a podcast about exactly that, my dude
I’m afraid it would have the same end as ICarly, the reboot is so uncomfortable with the adult themes
Actually, they kind of did that.
There’s a channel somewhere where they made a skit about surviving college and the main character brings out Neds guide to help them. His friend thinks that’s lame and useless since the guide was for middle school so he tries to throw it away but it gets caught by, get this, Ned himself making a cameo (like the actual actor shows up for the skit). He then calla forth a new updated guide for college and gives it to the main character before he disappears into the sunset.
I think they pitched one where some are going to college and others have jobs and it's tips on getting through college and doing jobs and adult things like balancing check books, how to negotiate mortgages, and do taxes ... all things my highschool decided all the students needed to know. Anyways, I think the pitch was rejected by nickelodeon.

watching ned's declassified after school will always be a core memory
yes one of the best childhood memories growing up 😪
Same here!
Great middle school memories lol
Gordy, the janitor, was also the voice of Timmy's dad in "Fairly Odd Parents." I loved that he never did any actual work, just "letting the night guy take care of it."
He also played Budda Bob on "Big Time Rush" and voiced Cosmo on "Fairly Odd Parents"
even when they had a replacement that was great at cleaning. He kept his job because he was better with the students.
Yep Daran Norris legendary VA
@@timsheppard6204 Darren Norris is an absolute treasure.
Also, the art teacher is played by Nolan North, who is best known for voicing Nathan Drake
I need to keep that "I can't answer that because I'm 40" line tucked away to get my students to stop asking me if their peers are hot. Why do they want my opinion so badly? I don't understand!
"It's a trap!"
you kinda look like a pedo ngl got a face that matches the opinion
Wait why DO they want your opinion?
Because all children are insane😂😂
I don't know, @@therealsapdad1942! God knows they don't want my opinion on literature and how to think critically about what they're reading!
This show has surprisingly aged well.
I don’t say this lightly, this show is one of the greatest shows ever.
Agree!
@@melissasalazar1606 same
no seriously
Yes . This dude hates everything
@Eddy Rivera Comic Dubs you clearly didn't watch the video
I'm surprised no one is taking about Ned's tips. They were honestly quite useful.
Especially those for school tests, running for student council, making friends, choosing after clubs among other things.
I swear those tips would have been so useful if I was rewatching this so around my teen years.
The best part, all characters mattered and weren't just there. The vice principal and Mr Sweeny despite being an authorized figure had characteristics that were different from the perspective of Ned. VP being there to watch out for kids to help them which was his goal after changing careers from a cop. And Mr Sweeny who despite being seen as some evil (Ned and his schoolmates prescriptive) but truly did care for his students. From tricking Ned into using his old notebook to study his test to not ratting him out in the finale episode.
There were kids who had careers planned out for themselves, like the lawyer girl.
Teachers to guide students and even connect on a personal level (choosing a career episode)
Even the janitor was made so likeable and not seen below others who worked at the school. He was given a personality that to me made him the best character, I character who's absence would ruin the show in a way.
This was such an underrated show. I'm annoyed it's not mostly known.
I remember Ned had a tip during a dodgeball game in one of the episodes to throw a ball in the air to confuse your opponent so that they’ll attempt to catch it, which in turn leaves an opening for you to hit them on the side. I thought of Ned and used this tip/strategy back when I was in the 6th grade and it worked LOL. Thank you Ned
@@JayceeLabrador that is so damn cute+
Structured procrastination. A tip I still use to this day
Most helpful episode for me was the baby powder episode 😭
Some of those tips were lifesavers in college, especially the note-taking one
The three main actors from the show just started up a new podcast called “Ned’s Declassified Podcast Guide” that is pretty fun and they’ve been going through episodes and just talking about some of the fun they had on set and some insecurities in being a child actor. I’ve found it pretty enjoyable.
This was a good show. There was an episode where Moze blew off studying for a test, thinking she could just wing it because she was smart and always did well. She ended up doing poorly, and the lesson was that you should always study ahead of time and make sure you're prepared. Even if you get A's, never think you can just wing it. A genuinely good lesson that I wish I implemented more in some of my college classes.
agreed it's funny and offers some good advice.
Every episode usually has some kind great lesson you can learn from. It’s very wholesome
Ned’s declassified actually had some legit tips for surviving middle school
And the one about how to organize your papers and supplies is definitely useful.
I used the locker lock trick all the time. Where you enter the first and second numbers of the combination, then when your rushing to your next class you put in the last number.
@@oliviashearer Wait, that was a tip? I've been doing that since i was in middle school, and i never even seen this show
The ones I remember the most are: if they won´t let you run in some part of school try "fast-walking", whenever a teacher says something twice highlight it because it will be on a test, don´t carry too much stuff on your backpack otherwise you´ll look like a turtle and if you´re afraid of going somewhere because there may be bullies there ask a friend to go with you
i still remember the episode about procrastination, still use those tips :)
I was hoping you'd mention the "I can't answer that due to the fact that I'm 40"
I haven't seen this show in 15 years but that line always stuck with me
Same! It's honestly the only acceptable answer in that situation yet for some reason other shows make it okay for adults to comment on children's appeareances
It’s one of the funniest lines for sure
We stan wholesome Gordy (who is also aware of statutory laws).
just watch at 10:00
They did talk about it.
This show will always hold a special place with me because I was literally starting 6th grade when this came out. They aged with me and really felt like the show was directly for me.
Same!!
Same, and most songs in pop culture aged with people that were born in 1992 like me, LITERALLY
I fucking LOVED Ned's Declassified! I never forgot that one episode where he talked about note-taking and said to double underline something that a teacher says twice - got me through my masters!
But also real talk: the Amanda Show was also great! I still remember the freaky doll that would go "MAHA!"😂
Totally Kyle was good also
I gotta admit, Amanda show, even as a kid, was weird to me.
YOU’RE SO HURTFUL!!!!
Okay but seriously Barbie: Princess and the Pauper is such an insanely brilliant movie. Shocking and true.
It and Barbie and the Nutcracker are my faves. I really hope Alex covers it one day
@@unfabgirl I mean, he said he wouldn't do animated stuff bc it wouldn't really work with his animation style, but then again, he did do Miracolous or whatever it's called, so ... there may be hope?
PREMINGER… I can’t even, best antagonist to DATE
@@cherusiderea1330 The Miraculous video is what gives me hope
@@lmc1022ITS A TEMPORARY SET BACK, ITS A MOMENTARY *?*, BUT CONVENIENTLY MY EGO DOESNR BRUISE
This show really deserved better. The humor has aged so well and it's still funny and fun to watch even at 25.
I am 30 and i agree.
I think the characters were amazing, diverse, and ahead of its time as well.
Moze had ALL the potential to be those "i'm not like other girls, ew girly things" type of girls, and this trope was at peak during the 00s.
But instead she was just a regular tomboyish girl who happens to be bffs with 2 boys. She never shames other girls for being feminine, and she also yearns for a girl bestfriend.
Even her rivalry with Suzie brings out the best of both characters and had nothing to do with competing for a boy's attention. It was just perfect and wholesome!
as insane as the show is, I love how they totally lean into the insanity - this show knows exactly what it is and what it's doing lol, I re-watched it last year as a 25 year old and was super surprised how enjoyable and funny I still found it to be
okay, but real talk, Ned's holds up. it has like good continuity and feels really relatable to middle school. it is a fun time, and i re-watch it from time to time
Still my favorite Nickelodeon sitcom. Its one of them that haven't been ruined due to Dan Schneider.
Thx Scott fellows❤
@@YungRomeoX Hi, Im Brian Fellow
This along with Big Time Rush. I also enjoyed School of Rock. That was probably the last good live action Nick show.
This wasn't just a great show. It was an ACTUAL SURVIVAL GUIDE
I remember watching this show as a kid and my dad actually liked it and wanted to watch it with me. Which is one of the few times outside of Avatar: The Last Airbender that he wanted to watch a kids show with me. Just speaks to its quality
My sister was born with a very rare chromosome disorder that gave her weakened breathing which caused her airway to be very small. Meaning she couldn’t talk normally as her vocal cords didn’t vibrate like normal. Somehow she taught herself to whisper talk. It was amazing. Anyways, long story short her health conditions kept her from experiencing normal things such as a normal school life. She was often home sick with pneumonia most years.
This show gave her hope. It let her feel what it was like to have friends and have goofy jokes and things happen to you at school. She felt as if she were a character in the show herself. It was amazing seeing her joy whenever this show came on.
Sadly my sister passed away suddenly at home 2 years ago. This show will forever hold a special place in my heart and memories. My sister lived her life through her shows she watched. They gave her hope.
Oh my gosh! Your comment warmed my heart! God bless you, your family, and your sister and may your sister rest in peace! :) If it's okay for me to ask how old was she? :(
I'm sorry for your loss :(
*Response*
My sister was born in 1998 and passed away in November 2020. When she was born the doctors at the time told my parents the best thing we could do for her was to put her in a facility. My parents refused outright. A lady at the hospital was giving flowers of all sorts away at the doors leading outside. She gave my parents a sunflower and from that moment till now that flower has held a lot of meaning. On my sisters grave we were able to have sunflowers etched into her nameplate.
My sister was born with a digeorge syndrome. She was a fluke, the rarity for her illness was a 1 in 6 million chance. Since her passing we’ve now learned that my sister was actually born with an illness known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. It’s a real head scratcher to explain, but simply put it is an extremely rare condition.
My sister has been in countless medical journals and teaching materials for doctors to learn from her so that her life might be help for another child to live a better and more healthier lifestyle than my sister.

@@darkincognito3826 what ?
This is my favorite Nickelodeon show. Every character was incredible, they had their own music and personalities, and they all merged incredibly well to one another. And the humor of the show is great. Wacky, ridiculous, but grounded in the sense that we all went through those things they did. Also, the sound effects were great
Great summary!
To me Ned's Declassified has the same charme as Malcolm in the middle. It never get's old and you just have to laugh. You can watch the episodes a billion of times and ist's still funny. Both series aged pretty well and the characters are so diverse and interesting. Hard to top that. :)
I see where you are going. They both had a realism to it. And both covered the awkwardness of adolescence well
Agree 100%!! ;D
YES! Same vibes!
@@pleaseshutup7053 Not to mention that both main characters break the 4th wall.
the amount of character growth between the premiere and finale is amazing. Im so excited for their podcast
The friends to lovers relationship between Ned and Moze is one of my favourite things about the show! Just love their growth
I think it's super interesting that, according to Alex, American middle schools really do have similarities to series like this (even if, of course, a lot of it is exaggerated for comedic purposes). When the series was released under the name "Neds ultimativer Schulwahnsinn" ("Ned's Ultimate School Madness") in Germany in 2006, I was just 12 and had been enrolled in High School, since there is no middle school in Germany. When you're 11 or 12, you're just sent to the same school as 18-year-olds. And back then I always imagined that such schools didn't really exist and watched the series more like some kind of fantasy series. XD I learned much later how the American school system works.
My middle school shared a building with high school kids, with gave the middle school kids an advantage with the option to take some of the high school standardized tests before high school (I ended up finishing high school a year early because of this). However, you also had to share the gym with another older group of students and man did that mess with my self image😅😅
We're still just as weird today 😘
I swear Alex says what we are all thinking but no one talks about. ‘Middle school is twitter in real life’. Holy hell, what an accurate description.
Thanks for FINALLY doing Ned's Declassified Guide. This series was top Nickelodeon, the premise was simple and each an every chapter was fun, the cast was solid and the story ark for each and everyone of them all see a conclusion throughout the series, which is something plenty of series dropped the ball latter on. This is one and Drake & Josh are the only early 2000 nickelodeon series I can still recommend without the fear of creating some sort trauma.
I’m so glad to finally see something about Ned’s Declassified. I was starting to think this show was just a fever dream
I remember watching this show as a kid and being really upset because all of those tips sounded so useful and I couldn't use any of those because my country's school system is different. (We couldn't apply to clubs, for example.) But either way, this show was absolutely insane and one of the best shows that I watched when I was a kid.
Despite the show being weird, all the characters added something to the show! Missy, Loomer, the teachers. Really good actors who obviously enjoyed doing the show!!. That's rare to see in shows today.
And they were all multidimensional in some way, especially Loomer and his friends (like the one who likes sewing, I forgot his name)
@@minnakha5101 true, I like how Mose and Susie started as rivals and became best friends
@@minnakha5101 I think you mean the curly haired kid. "I am in the sewing club!" And everybody else was like: 😮 Hahaha!!!
Yeah, I like how even though Loomer was a bully, he was also a romantic too.
@@emilyz.9112 Yes, he was in love with Moze and was always trying to do something nice to call her attention, which was complicated since he picked on her best friends
This is the kind of show I think deserves a sequel, like focusing on college for both students AND teachers, where the protagonists could go to college as part of the staff and Ned makes a new guide for college. The actors had too much charisma and chemistry to be replaced, so putting them as part of the college staff would work well enough.
I was wondering how it would be if we give Ned kids and a single-dad story line, so the episodes could be divided in two: part of the plot follows his kids in middle or high school and the other part we see Ned and his friends reuniting and exploring the adult world -- so both the people who grew up with the show and the yonger generation may enjoy (if it is well made).
@@ErickSoares3 Thats a great idea too! Personaly I lean towards college because it's a natural evolution from school to college, but also because teachers could use some help too. Especioaly college teachers since the mentality is way different from teaching kids and teenagers.
There was actually gonna be a sequel called “Ned’s Declassified High-school Survival Guide” but it was cancelled due to the actors getting other gigs
A show how to survive college is sorely needed after the stuff I went through 😂
There was no sequel, but there was essentially a successor called "100 Things to do Before High School," made by the same creative team.
I was absolutely obsessed with this show as a kid and I think it’s still really good even at 25! The cartoony feel to a live action show, and the fact that Ned breaks the 4th wall and talks directly to the camera is just soooo good
What I loved about this show was how the random music and sound effects made it like a live action cartoon.
This show was, is and forever will be an absolute classic
I'm also happy he actually took us seriously about wanting adult advice!! like us who grew up with the show it was fun and informative in a odd way lol and I've rewatched this show so many times especially now that its on Netflix it aged pretty well
i completely agree.
I loved this show when it came out and still watch the re-runs. I was always disappointed they never did a High School version.
They are coming back for the neds declassified podcast!
This show is so underrated, recently rewatched all the popular nick shows and this is the one that has aged the best imo, it was geniuenly funny and the characters were pretty likeable, you also actually buy ned, moze, and cookie's friendship
I will be forever mad that they didn't donthe high school version of the show with the same cast
It wasn't just the weirdest show, it was the bestest show. Seriously, I remember watching this one religiously when I was a kid. And it gave me a newly found love for the Almighty Janitor archetype!
You know what, the janitor in this show was the lawyer in Veronica Mars so Ned was right to bring him to the lunch table 😆
Lol, I recently watched Veronica Mars and was shock to see him there, but your absolutely right.
He was! i forgot about that. Another good 2000s show altho i'll be honest, i didnt get passed season 1 lmao
He was also in izombie
He's also Cosmo from the fairly odd parents and he's voiced several anime characters. :D
He also voiced Cosmo in fairly Odd Parents!
as a professional hairdresser the "get your hair cut at least 1 week before" is really good advice. for any important event
This is one of the few tips i took to heart ever since I watched it, i often end up feeling that my haircut ended up being shorter than what I wanted so that gives me time for my hair to grow back in
I'm currently rewatching this show on Netflix and it's been SO much better than I actually thought it would be lmao.
It’s underrated how funny this show was and how much the comedy, still holds up. Literally the first 5 seconds when he called him coconut head, I started laughing. Simple but effective comedy.
Lisa’s makeover reminds me of a friend I had in middle school. For a long time she basically only wore tshirts and track pants because of her scoliosis brace. In seventh grade she showed up at open house wearing new clothes, makeup, and a hair blow out instead of a pony tail because she didn’t need to wear the brace anymore.
Or they're nerdy looking all the way through high school, then twenty years later you see them on Facebook, and she's drop-dead gorgeous.
Not that I'd know.
@@rickeytmcasual2669 oh please bffr the reason why you didn’t talk to her at first wasn’t because you weren’t “social” but because you didn’t find her attractive and you only became interested in talking to her once she got hot 🙄
In college there was a Lisa type figure. Like, one day she took off her glasses, got some good acne medicine, got her hair done, and all of a sudden she went from like a 3 to an 8 lol
Aww. I’m happy for her. I hope she’s happy ❤

Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide is out now. 😂🙌
I hope the final season of Ned will come to Netflix
This was my fav show growing up!!! I remember being in my freshman year of college and rewatching all the episodes bc I was nostalgic and would have LOVED a college survival guide reboot!!
Ran into the actor who played Ned at a rave a couple years ago. He was chill af.
That’s awesome 😆
This show feels like a fever dream! I remember liking it as a kid, but I was always completely obsessed with Drake and Josh. Looking back now and knowing about all the controversy with Dan Schneider, I realize this was one of Nick’s least problematic shows. It aged well.
It was actually created by Scott Fellows and not Dan Schneider which hugely helps by a long shot. Lol
It’s one of the few Nick shows that the cast looks back on fondly
I was the generation that Pete & Pete originally aired for, but my kid watched Ned's Declassified, and yeah, it never seemed that weird to me after watching Pete & Pete. Then again, I'm also the generation that spent our early years watching Peewee's Playhouse in its original airing, moved right onto MTV'S Liquid Television (if you don't know what that is, go look it up, it's wild), and closed out our 20's watching cartoons on Adult Swim. A lot of these shows seem pretty tame and reasonable in comparison to the insane, mind-bending stuff a lot of my generation was watching at 10-14.
I was also in high school when this show came out, still loved watching it, although not only Cookie, but the whole cast went weird in the last season, as if they had to make the show more cartoony because the actors were getting older.
Devon Werkheiser described this show as a “live-action cartoon” and I think that’s the perfect description
God I wish that original pilot was available, I watched it a couple times so it was in my head
I remember it being 2013 and my dad actually recommended me and my sister to watch this on Netflix because HE wanted an excuse to binge watch it. And we watched an episode after school everyday!
Not what binge watching means.
This show really was a Gem like some of the lessons still run true plus it has one of my favorite casts of a sitcoms. Definitely peak nick.
Oh god I love that you highlighted my absolute favorite line in the whole show with Gordy and Cookie 🤣
A little disappointed your video wasn't more comprehensive of the whole show and how it progresses though, instead of focusing on just the very first episode. I seriously think this was Nick's greatest live action show
If you're reading all the praise about Ned's Declassified in the comments and wondering if it's all the hype or not, let me assure you: YES. It's a phenomenal show and has aged extremely well.
"I feel like I need to call my mom to come to pick me up." I felt that in the fiery depths of my soul.
I think the fact so much of the show can still apply to today and even adulthood, to some degree, shows how well it holds up.
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I made sure to never miss a new episode.
This show has held pretty well, I watched it as a kid and loved it, I’m 24 now and still find it funny. 😂
You know the characters from this show strike me as students that would ultimately come back to be teachers
If that's not what they're coming back for then we riot, that's genius :OOO
@@anniemouse3853 Ned is a teacher, Cookie is the schools I.T. Guy (in place of the janitor) and Moze is the Principal.
@@SixMajinMiss or alternatively she comes back as either the gym teacher or the woodshop teacher
honestly yeah, i can see that, I think it may be due to the fact the shows teachers have just as wild and goofy personalities as the kids and I could see the kids becoming teachers themselves. except for Claire sawyer, she's going to be a future lawyer
This show literally changed my life in the weirdest way. I was going into middle school just after it started and was a huge fan, so when they had auditions for the school play I was like "that's so middle school! It's something like Ned, Mose, and Cookie would do!" so I auditioned for the play just to be like them, and found a life long passion for acting. Now I'm signed to the same agency as the girl who played Mose, where she started. Crazy looking back lol
That is very cool!
I would have been finishing up highschool when this show came out, but I still remember watching it and being invested in the wacky shenanigans whenever I caught it on TV.
This show was a major part of my childhood, and my favorite show to watch growing up, thank you for covering it!!
I actually used one of the tips in this in middle school. It was the one with the locker combination where you do the first 2 numbers in it when you leave, so you only have to turn it once to the last one when you go back to it. It was rather efficient, and I got out of school just that little bit sooner at the end of the day. 🙂
Also, fun fact: the janitor is played by Darran Norris, who voices Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents.
While this show had its crazy moments, it really did teach kids some valuable lessons and cause of that, it holds a special place in my heart. Like the study ep, thanks to that ep I made sure to always make sure my notes were organized and not a complete mess when I needed to study.
I have to admit while I did love The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh way more I did love Ned's Declassified way more than iCarly, Victorious, and Zoey 101 because I felt like it had the right kind of humor to get me laughing and I loved how relatable it was compared to those shows as in it shows the life of middle school and how to survive it even if it was exaggerated in hilarious TV form. Lol
What I also found awfully interesting was that the guy who created this show, Scott Fellows, also created Big Time Rush and around the time when iCarly was out and everyone was raving about iCarly.
I loved Big Time Rush.
It had the kind of humor that I loved from Ned's Declassified (Though honestly I literally had no idea that the two shows had the same creator till I was in my twenties but it explains a lot. Lol)
Also I love watching shows that involve music and people making it big time especially when it's written well.
Everyone including my friends were raving about iCarly but I was the one person who absolutely loved Big Time Rush way more than that show.
I even loved it more so than Victorious and Zoey 101 as well as much as I loved those shows.
It always made me feel pretty unique! EEP! :)
Looking back I wonder if part of it is because compared to Dan, Scott didn't have the kind of humor to make me feel uncomfortable or weirded out.
I still need to get Paramount Plus to binge watch these shows but I wouldn't be surprised at all if part of that was the case at all even though I loved The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh way more.
The show is really different without the sound effects going off every other second. And I’m saying that as a bad thing cause I love those sound effects.
I loved this show. It was freakily accurate. The three main leads worked well together. Edit: Loved the Janitor. My middle school Janitor was a great guy who didn't talk down to kids.
I remember being in 7th grade when Ned's Declassified came out and trying the tips at school. Long story short, it did not end well. 🤣
*Your results may vary.
🤣🤣🤣
Deadass 😂
I legit had a notebook with the show’s logo on the front and got bullied and laughed at so HARD for it. My middle school was more brutal and way less colorful than Ned’s. 😭
@@BreeanaSwift the kids back the were so mean and judgemental, you can't even like superheroes without getting called names
Loved this!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for you to do this!!!
I’ve seen every single episode of the Amanda show multiple times. Tony Pajamas and Judge Trudy & the dancing lobsters will forever have a place in my heart-right next to the poor old man who can’t realize he’s being prank called by a brat lol
It’s such a weirdly brilliant show, and has shockingly aged pretty well which says a LOT considering how rare that is. I loved it as a kid and could see myself still enjoying it today, also as a kid I genuinely feel like watching it helped me feel so much more comfortable with my journey first going into middle school, even if some of the “lessons” were pretty ridiculous and comical, some of it was still decently accurate (while still being presented in a very wacky fashion) but above all it helped with my confidence and fears in going into the 6th grade.
10:00 at this point even the last person realized that this isn't a Dan Schneider Show.
Clearly it's not. Everyone's wearing shoes.
nobody seems to talk about how this show has the same creator as johnny test. both shows are pretty bonkers but in such distinct ways that you'd never assume they have so much shared dna.
That pass the skunk skit was hilarious omg I’m crying
I been waiting for Alex to do this video for 3 years
This is one of the best Nick Shows and it aged well
I used to absolutely loved Ned’s declassified! I had a crush on Ned. My husband and I even reference this show still as adults 😅
Came here from the Pinocchio video, somehow missed this one, but I'm glad I got to see it. Keep the fun rolling Alex!
Ned’s Declassified walked so Diary of A Wimpy Kid could run
If someone based an Internet meme on you, it would have impeccable grammar.
what
@@hollowayJunior It's a bot lmao
@@ingwopwetrust ohh I see, i was wondering why they’d think Alex Meyers relates to grammar in the slightest
Can we just appreciate the consistency and work this guy put in every single video???😩
Yes we can!
We actually do.
Good thing you tagged this at the end of the Pinocchio video cause UA-cam did not show me this was released and it was one of my fav shows when I was little
4:06 what a TWIST
XD
One tip that I genuinely found helpful: stay close to the lockers during the rush to get to class. You get to your class faster and avoid getting run over.
Also: Ned's Declassified Office Job Survival Guide.
One tip I find really helpful (in school and in life) is to always get a haircut a week or so before school starts so it will grow in nicely.
i also liked the second tip of presetting your locker so you can just do 1 turn to open it.
I discovered this as an adult when my son was just a kid. And yes, it most closely resembles the Nick shows I grew up watching in the early 90s. It wasn’t trendy… it felt like every absurd thought one has at that age had been mined and put to screen. The experiences are silly and universal and treated as such. It’s real life situations turned into fantasies like Salute Your Shorts, I totally felt being assigned to ‘the locker at the end of the universe’. Great show 😁
I didn’t even see this video pop up on my feed! Thanks for linking in your Pinocchio bud so I could watch!
This was definitely a comfort show for me. As a writer it was really fun watching Ned go through some of the same struggles I do like writers block, etc. I just wish they played it more on re-runs. I can’t remember the last time they played this show.
I'm 33 now but this show symbolizes my childhood. I watched this growing up in Jamaica before moving to the US. I always thought that Americans were like this before moving here at 15, boy was this show accurate. A solid staple of my childhood and I cant wait to have my kids watch this in the future to see what school life was like.
For anyone interested, the three main cast members from Ned's Declassified recently started a podcast together. You're welcome.
So happy you madre this one about Ned’s Declassified, it was one of my favorite shows
I really liked Moze!!! She wasn't too much of a "I'm not like other girls" but still not a girly stereotype
She's normal and well balanced. If anything, she's a decoy. At first you'd expect her to be a 'pick me'. But she's nothing like that, at all
Me too
