If you’re going to do iCarly specials you gotta review the one where the iCarly cast meets the Victorious cast it’s pretty much an iconic special in all of Nickelodeon
Dont read my name!.....
yes
I second that
@@MbitaChizi people like you are annoying it was fun wt first but now its old
Omg I remember that one I loved it
As someone who’s been living abroad for about 6 years now, it is very weird and unsettling sometimes. I went home for the first time last year and I could barely recognize things. I felt like a foreigner in my hometown, and now I’m like “did I really go home or was it a dream?”
It’s definitely a weird feeling.
Same! I’ve been living in the UK for over 5 years now and both the US and UK feel like home.
I recently came home from being in Korea for a long while, and every time I think about my time in Korea, it doesn't seem real. So I completely understand
I recently came home from Ireland after studying abroad and I feel so out of place being back in the USA, like I don’t belong anymore. It’s a working process to adjust but, not going to lie, I’m just counting down the days until I can leave again lol
@@gracesgr8t For me is the same, I have also been studying abroad for a couple of years and now that I'm back my time there doesn't feel real
I recently traveled back to the state I used to live in during middle school and it felt so unreal the whole time
The only reason I remember this episode is I had an irrational fear of being trapped in seaweed as a child because it happened to Spencer and Freddy’s mom
That’s an oddly specific fear to have. But I have a fear of worms so I guess it’s not too odd.
My one takeaway from this episode is Sam should've been way more happy to go to Canada considering the Fat Cakes situation
Ya i don’t get why the iWeb awards were not in Canada especially since Canada has a lot of comedians and is literally the “Hollywood of the North”
Yeah but Canada has French people
canadians are mean dont listen to what anyone else says
@@mercury_no1394as a canadian the french are NOT the problem here. there are more immigrants than french lmao
@@mercury_no1394true
As a japanese-american dude i completely think that this movie is accurate and a great portrayal of who we are. I wrap my friends' mom and brother in seaweed all the time and we all can fight karate.
To everyone here, you are loved, things will be ok, never give up, don’t lose hope, keep going in life, you are loved always. ❤ Also, there is no need for meanness, hate, or violence. ❤️ ❤️❤️
@@jesuslovesyouandisthewayto1114 bruh
nice
@@jesuslovesyouandisthewayto1114 To anyone who is reading this, U got this :) it WILL get better. Satan loves you and accepts you for who you are, not who you were ❤️
is it bad i laughed at this 💀
The dance animation goes so hard on this video, like Alex was dancing ALL AROUND the screen. Great animating, as always

@@MbitaChizi ok
@@MbitaChizi No
I'm so friggin engaged right now
@@MbitaChizi no one cares dude
10:35 On top of the fact that all these Japanese people speak perfect English, a hunch and a quick Google search confirmed that Yuki is played by Harry Shum Jr, aka Mike Chang from Glee (one of my favorite Glee characters). He was born in Costa Rica, but his parents were Chinese immigrants. His first language is Spanish, though he hasn’t spoken it fluently since he was 6, then he learned Cantonese (a Chinese dialect for those who don’t know) and English.
I watched this right now and I was like
YOOO THATS MY BOY MIKEEE hahah
I know him from Shadowhunters
dude, I swear. Harry Shum Jr (Yuuki) has been a crucial part of the entertainment in my life. First iCarly, then Glee, now Everything Everywhere All at Once. This guy is honestly amazing
If I remember correctly, he's also in Shadowhunters and he also was one of the silhouettes in the old iPod commercials/advertisements.
I first noticed him in Step Up!! He's such an amazing dancer!
I had seriously forgotten about this movie entierly, it's funny how watching this video made me remember a bunch of things from around that time. In regards to Alex's last question it does happen, whenever I found like an old notebook or see a picture of me and my highschool friends I look back and think "Wow I used to do so many weird stuff" or "I can't believe this thing was so popular back then", it does bring the feeling of some sort of evolution, I guess that's part of growing up.
Dont read my name!........
beans
This was a great show, I don't know what he's talking about.
Yeah I completely forgot about this movie
Yep to all of that, though I have one question, how is it that they made this cringe worthy piece, YET, shows such as Jimmy Neutron and Rugrats which are SUPPOSED to be non-sense do it so well?
Honestly ever since I learned about Dan Shncantspellthat and more recently how Jeanette was treated on the show and the trauma she has from it I view this show very differently. makes me sad because there's a lot of nostalgia behind it but now at this ripe old age of 26 I can't look past it
Yeah, I feel similarly, and it sucks, because I *still* find this show funny!
Like, it's so sad that so much joy can be drawn from so much degeneracy and pain so long as the curtain stays where it is.
Like, I whole heartedly disagree with Alex in that I think this show still works today, it's just the problem is how it was made and who made it.
So much talent wasted because of bad decisions and terrible treatment.
Sad in many ways for many people, Jeanette especially.
So yeah, I know what you mean, and I agree.
I hear what you're saying and I agree. Did have a slight chuckle when you said ripe old age of 26 tho lmao.
Same
After learning about that guy I can't watch victorious without feeling uncomfortable
Just call him Dan Feet lover
i thought none of that was proven though?
The talk about Japan at the end completely got me, I lived there for almost 2 years, and now it feels like a dream, a wonderful dream that I'll never get to live again, since I was there as a student. And I had compromises that I would only agree to in Japan... like sharing a room. Right now I can't stand even sharing a house
I love how i immediately recognized that they used LAs chinatown as them driving through tokyo. LA city hall in the distance really was the cherry on top.
Can’t blame the actors for taking gigs like this when it was all they were offered in Hollywood… Glad to see that Harry Shum Jr. and Ally Maki have landed more meaningful roles since
Who?
@@king_gaming6813 there's always this one dumbarse...
I've never seen this movie and he popped up and I was like is that... Is that Magnus Bane?
@@XxMCRroxnonstopxX yes
When you earn your living acting and your name isn’t Tom cruise you can’t really pick and choose parts It may be garbage but it pays the bills
“I’m starting to think this show might not be totally realistic”
Bro Spencer is literally a fire magician that manages to combust anything he comes in contact with, this show is far from realistic.
Tbf they're realistic about how the police have been shown to be useless and incompetent in this show albeit to a comical degree
How are you on every video???
ORPON!!!!
Literally, If he made a water sculpture it would still be on fire
Pathet1c likebeggar
im 22 and i think back to my freshman year of college dorms and wonder how the hell i lived like that 😂 walking all the way to the other side of the building just to go to the bathroom at 3am, standing outside liquor stores and begging people to buy a bottle for me, riding public transit literally everywhere. its like a completely different person 😂
I thought I hadn't watched that movie, but this video unlocked quite a few repressed memories about iCarly. Why was Dan Schneider allowed to make this?!
GOOD POINT!!!! but............
why was he aloud to make this show???
Why not?
Im so glad alex is doing the “after content talks” again; they were a few videos where he didn’t. I really enjoy them, they feel like a nice wrap up, it has those same “after hours” vibes.
Ya ikr
Yeah it kinda feels just like an intimate conversation with him
Not to mention how jarringly he cut off his videos without it
Agreed! I love hearing about his take on things/how he’s doing
Yeah, I really enjoy them as well
I'm SO glad that you made this! I'm half Japanese and live in the US, but I spend my summers in Japan. None of my friends when I was younger understood that this was NOT how it's like over there. In fact, I think this episode is what made my classmates bully me even harder. It's fun to look back on occasionally, but man, I did not like this when I was younger.
It made me cringe so hard looking back on it 😭
I mean it’s kinda memorable I wouldn’t say it’s the best
same here! mixed & spent summers in Japan
@@babywigeon always wanted to go to Japan. What’s it like?
I really don’t wanna be the guy to mess up the 444 likes and 4 replies, but i just gotta change it to 445 likes and 5 replies, y’know, for a good cause
I live in Okinawa , Japan due to my parents work.. After being here for 2 years I've seen a lot of the military wife's here speak to the locals like how Freddie's mom spoke to them
I’ve been subscribed for forever, how did I miss you lived in Japan? Insanely cool, I’m jealous. Dream destination
I remember being so hyped when this came out. I loved iCarly, so the words 'iCarly' and 'movie' in the same sentence had me bouncing on and off the walls.
Dont read my name!.....
@@MbitaChizi ok i wont
I remember to I was so hyped I remember like half through the movie I’m like when are they gonna start showing Japan. It was BS the spencer and Freddie mom stuff was hilarious tho
I lived a large portion of my childhood in Japan, but it was north Japan in an extremely rural town made up of 90% rice and apple farmers. It was really nice :) when I moved to America I was actually really confused about a lot of the stereotypes because many of them didn’t pertain to where I lived (not even mentioning many of them are wrong anyways lol)
Totally. You find that everywhere with everyone
But you still did cosplay on a daily basis, right?
So wait, Japan isn't animeland
/s
I didn't wanna watch this video because I've seen this special so many times. But Alex makes it 10x more interesting. I love your content
Awesome video as always, GJ ALEX!
I remember watching this when I was younger and being terrified of being kidnapped by 2 random Japanese content creators. Looking back on it, it was really stupid, but I was convinced this was 100% realistic
What do you mean it's not realistic? Literally like 93% of the people I know have been kidnapped by 2 random japanese content creators at least once
yes omg same
@@Kleines97 I was like 6 I think?
@@Kleines97 ah yes when it aired I was a toddler
Dude sameee haha I was 7 and I was really scared I was gonna get kidnapped too😂😂
I enjoy hearing about others’ experiences living in their non-native country. I didn’t live in Japan, but was there for about six weeks working part time and staying with a host family. It was long enough to not be a vacation, but too short to understand anything about the culture beyond surface level.
2:24 The fact it shows Dan Schneider just before saying legs💀
Great videos, love the animations. Keep it up Alex
I honestly got to the point where Alex’s reactions are just so much funnier than the actual show or movie
so true
Same
Mans spittin fax
True
yeah XD
I was stationed in Japan for three years when I was in the Navy. I've been out of the military for ten years now. I understand the feeling of "It kind of feels like it wasn't even real." Not only does my time in Japan feel almost like a dream, my whole time in the Navy does, too.
There's so many of these shows and movies I did not watch while growing up xD so I watch them through this channel. Ty for your insight - it is extra entertaining and interesting this way
Your rant about your past being a dream or not real but understanding that it was is 100% real. I think about stories from my past sometimes and I feel like it didn’t happen that it was a movie I watched and I am just retelling a movie but it was real. I lived it.
I can't help but feel that Dan Schnieder has a personal problem with Canada, because almost every show has a hit at Canada
Dan Schnieder has a personal problem.
@@luma4902 I think he's got more then a personal problem
Like in victorious when jade was mad at beck for being from Canada and "keeping it a secret" from her
@@luma4902 Dan whats-his-face IS a problem fr
@@rosecoloredbby And In Henry Danger When Ray Says "I'd Like To See Canada Try And Attack Us."
I am from Japan, and I remember seeing iCarly on TV at some point.
The wierd misunderstandings people have about Japan are simultaneously cringe worthy, hilarious, and sad.
Yeah it is very strange, if u dont know what country you are going to it's good to research before you go
@Mirsty Come to think of it though, the show on the whole was simultaneously cringe worthy, silly, and sad, so I guess it was on brand?
@Mirsty Ok but you can be funny and accurate at the same time tho. Making an episode about another country with inaccurate depictions can perpetuate offensive stereotypes. And let’s be honest, Disney and Nickelodeon in the past have been pretty ignorant about Asian countries and culture.
@@hotsexyangel that’s absolutely not the point of satire.
@@hotsexyangel it's a sitcom for kids, it ain't that deep.
I love it when the sponsor is catered to the video topic in some way. Just such a nice touch
I wish you did a review of these Disney shows because I really enjoy your reactions to these videos 😂❤
I've been living in Japan for 6 years at this point. Seeing something like this reminds me of how cringe western shows portrayed eastern cultures. This was a rough watch, even though it was just Alex's take on it.
How'd you get around to doing that? I wouldn't mind working in Japan for a while.
@Mi-Ae Hwang you’re kind of right ngl lol
@@kleptrep94 I got a teaching job through "gaijinpot" at an English conversation school. Those jobs are usually good to get you into Japan and people are generally at those specific job for a year or two. People who decide to stay longer usually try to find a better job after.
@Mi-Ae Hwang I mean...you're right. Japanese shows (usually comedy variety shows) portray western culture pretty badly too. However from what I noticed, they don't usually have a full episode/special revolving around it. So the cringiness doesn't last very long. It's just one or two gags and then move on to the next bit on a different topic.
@Mi-Ae Hwang nope. I admit my anime knowledge is extremely limited. I'll take your word on how bad the representation is.
I was JUST thinking about this yesterday. I was watching the episode of Suite Life on Deck where they stop in Japan and it brought back memories of all the "Japan" episodes from shows I used to watch. It made me really wonder why it was as common of a theme as it was, especially since they're all pretty similar to this iCarly one
It's probably because Japan is the ultimate dream for a lot of people but they don't actually know what Japan is like or care to represent it accurately
@@despicablepenguin I never understood the hype for Japan. Why never the same level of hype for South Korea or China? Or literally any other Asian country. What makes Japan stand out so much?
@@thatamericanbritishbloke5672 it's because it's a more foreign country than others since it didn't open to the world until recently vs other countries so the only way you could be exposed to it was through tv or maybe products that came from Japan. Because people couldn't go to Japan, there's just a unique foreigness/exoticism to Japan and it was not affected as much by colonialism (like their culture wasn't changed significantly by western countries). It doesn't help that everything that came through seemed very weird or unique (or it was the fact that it was different because again, not westernized) like Takeshi's castle or Japanese tv ads or anime. Recently it's because we're all weebs but there's also just a butt load of things to do in Japan that is not shown in any of these American tv shows. Japan is essentially a tourists dream and you can probably be in Japan a long time and still haven't gone through all the cool stuff that Japan offers
@@thatamericanbritishbloke5672 One word: anime
@anaferreiramattos I thought America knew about China before Japan because Chinese immigrants came to the U.S. before Japanese immigrants did (am I wrong on that?)
Love your videos man
Here to comment something vaguely regarding the video cause I love your videos! So dude it’s wild that Icarly went to Japan. I remember seeing this when I was a kid and even then I was surprised they made it 😂
His animation has gotten so much better omg
Dont read my name!.....
Agreed, it has been five years since his first video, after all.
It’s nice to see Alex watching a specific I carly episode/ movie event 😊
Dont read my name!.....
This movie has so much potential it sucked tho
Yes!
He should watch the TV show special.
I love your insight on this movie and Japan culture
I love your videos so much Alex. Keep going.
I’m half Japanese, and I can say that whenever I get into an argument with anyone, we have a karate fight.
The only way to argue
I’m also half Japanese.
And this episode just hurts…
@@Melinoe1831 how are you half a country? You know Japanese people are nationality not a race, plus you're only half so this shouldn't "hurt" you at all.
That sounds awesome 🤩
Wait was that sarcastic?😅
@@IllMatic97 ok that’s stupid. Please shut up. It means one of their parents is Japanese. Stop being a dumbass
I've been living in Japan since 2004. This place is definitely somewhere you want to visit and not live. I've enjoyed my time here but the shine wears off after the first few years. Time has certainly gone by very quickly. I would recommend to anyone who comes to visit Japan to explore other regions of it. Japan is more than just Tokyo. Tokyo gets pretty boring. I haven't gone there in 3 years. There are so many more beautiful places to visit in different prefectures.
Not to mention the constant kaiju/alien/cosmic entity attacks. 😉😆
@@tofanpurnomowaisaka503 Yes! It was difficult to understand people fleeing from the attacks because their voices didn't match up with their lip movements.
I have been thinkin of going to a uni in japan to further my studies next year but almost everybody says that they dont recommend it. Can you give me your personal thought on living there and what you found difficult about it? That is if it's not too much trouble:)
@@chocolateiguess1613 in my opinion, if that is something you really want to do then go for it! Life is all about experiences and you never know how things will be unless you try.
@G-Taehyung There is always a bit of culture shock when moving to a new country. I had lived in Korea for 3 years prior to Japan so I was used to moving to a new country. I would say the biggest cultural thing in Japan is repressed feelings. People never truly say their feelings so you never know where you stand with them. That seems like it would be a good thing as you'd never hear anything negative but it can also be extremely frustrating too. I continue to enjoy the food, the music and the beautiful scenery, the mountains, etc. That being said, when the three main flavors of food are soy, miso and salt, it gets old after the first few years. These days, I make my own food and try to eat more western things that aren't so bland.
This was so relatable. I just moved back to the states last year after 12 years in Japan. I had such culture shock coming back because I lived on Okinawa so it was like "Islands Japan." Man do I miss a lot of it, but I totally get what you are saying about feeling like it was another life. It is so weird.
Great videos keep up the good work.
As a Japanese person, I have to say, the moment any tv show brings in the concept of Japan, I just wail in pain because IT'S SO WRONGGGGGGG
Same here but with México
@@31tentacles OMG I’m Mexican too and I hate when movies show Mexico in movies because it’s always wrong and put in a bad light.
That’s what I feel like whenever Hawai’i is brought up…in real life too
Yeah, they lack the xenophobia, the misogyny and the depressed teenagers
Why are you guys so racist
I totally understand that feeling of “how did I do this?” I’ve been living in Korea for 2 years with no real plan to go home and every so often I just think to myself “holy shit I actually live in another country.” Also every time I go to my home country it feels like my life here is a dream and vice versa. I also feel like a completely different person in both lives, I don’t know if that makes sense, but I’m totally different here then back home 😂 being a human is damn weird lol
Same here😆 I didnt think i would find this comment
I’m going through the same thing right now after coming home from Ireland after a semester; it’s weird as hell, almost like being an outsider in your own hometown
Same but for me it was China
@Mirsty Korea is liberal no thanks to America. Not as bad as any western shithole tho, probably.
This perfectly describes what I am often feeling. Even though I only moved from the Netherlands to Germany. The feeling is very familiar though. 😅
*Comment vaguely related to iCarly going to Japan.* love your content
Love the content keep it up
That scene where Spencer falls of the cab and then it runs him over will never fail to make me laugh
"I'm just being lazy." 😅😅
Freddie's mom is clearly there to be the most stereotyping person
Fr
I think she’s just meant to be an annoying helicopter parent
Love your videos!!!
Such a great video Love the comentation:)
igotoJapan was a fever dream. It left the collective consciousness with vague racist, inaccurate, or hilarious scenes that you barely remember so you think it was a random nightmare and not a memory.
Dont read my name!......
Yeah this movie was ridiculous they couldn’t hire someone from Japan to tell them what it’s like
I completely forgot about this movie's existence until I saw this in my subscriptions page.
I liked it cuz i was a kid and was like 'WOW JAPAN'
@@pleaseshutup7053 it's a tv movie from 2007, it doesn't matter at this point
Alex Meyers is still one of the most authentic and hilarious youtubers on the web! All of his videos are awesome!! Never change, you keep on making my days better!!
I especially like this video, that Alex Myers made, about iCarly.
Punto
Same I like the video he made about icarly
I find it supportive that y’all gave him paragraphs of filler just to help his channel y’all are some real ones
You do amazing stuff
When Alex makes a video on something this specific and kinda random, you know its gonna be good.
Dont read my name!......
@@MbitaChizi ok
8:18 this is also how teen sitcoms intercepted Africa too, every time I say that I’m from Africa my class mates are always like “Did you have to hunt for your food?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Literally!!! They start asking "did you ride lions" and stuff
@@aly.sadventures I saw this one tictok and it was like “What people think when I say I’m from Africa, and it shows him saying stuff like “Ahh, finally killed my lunch” and stuff like “Man, it takes a while to get to school” 🤣🤣🤣 so accurate
Other cultures do it too. I went to college with a woman from India and when she told her parents she was moving to the Rockies they would say things to her like "But what about the cowboys and Indians out there?" Portrayals in media stick.
The “do you you eat dogs”question I got throughout my whole childhood for being Asian 😍😍😍
@@Sirens_kai for only living in Korea for two years I also got asked this question. People are silly
I love Alex videos so much
This was a really good video breaking down an iCarly movie!
I couldn't even imagine what japanese people would think of this.
I don't think the episode was "racist", it's a comedy show that relies on random = funny and is a hit or miss with most jokes, and their trip to japan was no exception
the representation wasn't that great, but it wasn't because they wanted to be racist, it was because they didn't need to have people teach the writers about what japan is like to make the ratings any different and it was random like the rest of the show
if you're looking for a teen nick sitcom to have an accurate representation of japan, idk what to tell you
kids would think it's entertaining, adults would think it's weird and discourage their kids from watching it
There's a comment from a Japanese person directly above yours on my screen. 🤣
and i dont fckn care what they think. who gives a fck what japan thinks
Japanese people don't get as offended as westerners do. They'd find it funny America thinks that's what Japan is. They are a chill people.
At this point, I watch Alex's reactions more than some of the actual content he reviews.
Same, if Netflix makes a bad movie i wait for Alex to review it before i watch it. Also I don’t even keep up with Riverdale anymore, I just have Alex to keep me updated
Same
I feel like I watched Riverdale, but never saw 1 second.
I love your videos !!
I like ya vids my boy!
It's always fun to watch old shows and see how, even just 10 years ago, so many things wouldn't hold up today. Also lol at Harry Shum Jr.
He was literally on glee at the same time as this
@@kingofthebis1068 OK?
OH thanks i couldnt place him but i knew his face
No way that’s HARRY? I didn’t recognize him 😂
Poor Harry really had to do what he had to do in this horrendous industry
Felt nice to get a tiny little nostalgia trip, I haven't watched iCarly in ages. The one word that describes that show would be " Chaos " , and at the time I loved it.
It’s kinda memorable for it’s time I didn’t think it’s amazing
Oh my gosh i love the video and the topic it is about
7:03
You could’ve just said “Well this is exactly like Japanese game shows” because it is. Japanese game shows are wild.
The fact the movie’s physical dvd case has the rising sun image as the backdrop speaks for Dan Snider’s (hope I spelled his name ok), ignorance and racism tbh. Also his weird exploitation and filming of minors and even non minors is SO obvious in this one
Don't worry how you spelled his name, he's a jerk face stink butt.
So good I enjoy this video lol
Alex posted yay
The fact that Carly pretended to be disappointed that they were going to Canada is hilarious but hurtful 😂🇨🇦
Me thinking about in Victorious how everyone had cracked at least one joke about beck being Canadian and how jade was so dam surprised that he never said anything about it to her at first 😭💀
Nickelodeon got sum against Canadians 💀😭

Hey Alex, I know you probably won’t read this, but I just want you to know how much your videos helped me. Last summer, I was going through some of the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced and I remember discovering your videos and they acted as sort of a distraction/ coping mechanism for me. Everything from the format of your videos to your voice which is relaxing and somewhat nostalgic similarly to movies/shows your videos are often about. That bit of nostalgia from old stuff I used to watch helped calm me last summer, and although it may be weird, the nostalgia from your voice, personality, and animation has helped me this summer. I’ve always thought that nostalgia is one of the best passive feelings in the world and watching your new videos and even rewatching old videos really helps me. I can’t explain exactly how it helps me, but I’m thankful and I want you to know that your videos do a lot for people, at least me, beyond entertainment.
The fact you started this with “you probably won’t read this” says it all. Be confident in yourself. You’re putting this in his comment section because you WANT him to read it. You don’t need a caveat if no one likes it or an excuse if people think you wrote too much. Be authentic to yourself, that will get you far.
Last summer I also dealt with a lot of anxiety/paranoia
Ironic he gives you nice nostalgia while he takes a dump on others nostalgia
I feel like every show that watched growing up that had something to do with going to Japan it was extremely weird and over exaggerated 😂😂but honestly I still loved it and I would watch it on repeat all day 😅
I think about this episode a lot throughout the year
11:40 Yep, its Dan "hold her tighter she's a fighter" Schneider alright.
13:03
i knew a kid in high school named billiam. BILLIAM.
Dawg i always wanted to watch i-carly but first wanted to know if there was naything i wouldnt like in it so thanks for ths vid!
I fricin love binge watching these videos
Yes, the content talk at the end makes so much sense to me, my family used to be really poor like I’m talking stealing toilet paper from public restrooms, only being able to eat once a day and more so just thinking back on it now that my family has a nice house and financially stable with a job I feel like I’m watching a movie like no way did I live that way but I did.
“…living in your like early twenties. How did I lived the way I lived?”
As a person in their early twenties, that’s a huge mood. Basically the story of my life
Dont read my name!.........
This topic is awesome
Love you’re vids
lmao they couldn't even get actual background footage of japan in this movie, at 10:57 it's literally just Los Angeles on the green screen
I also lived abroad for a few years and it feels like I left a whole other life behind when I returned to the US. If there’s any time to pick up and move to a new country just cuz it seems cool, your 20’s is the time to do it!
Funny you say that cuz that's what I thought living in the US would be like
I would move to a different country in a heartbeat but you know...broke. 🙃
I'm only a teenager but I want to move out of the U.S as soon as I can, I haven't been outside America my whole life and I wanna see so many places so that's what I'm gonna do
_I just need to figure out how to get all that money_
My dad watched this with us growing up. He still watches it with my younger brother. He's a 63 year old mexican man. Like, born on the dirt floor in the village his family lived in, getting up at 430 am to work in the corn fields instead of going to school at 8 years old so the rest of his siblings could get an education. Like dirt poor village at the foot of a mountain, where like 80 other families live in the village and for 200 years they've had the same 1 building that is the school Monday to Saturday and the church on Sunday.
What im getting at is that iCarly transcends pop culture or nostalgia. iCarly is just good funny fun
Love these videos
I’m 33 and lived in 2 different countries before moving back to my hometown after almost 9 years. Really feels like it happened to someone else or that the lives I had in other places didn’t really happened. Nice to hear that I’m not the only one feeling like that.
I can’t believe you didn’t include the one line that relates the most to you Alex
“The pain helps you learn”
I could imagine you going
_Yeah that’s what I told myself for years, and I turned out just great_

That special was great
I went to a boarding school halfway across the world from where I live and that's exactly how I feel! The whole thing ended just as suddenly as it started, and since coming back home Ive tried explaining it to a few people. The only way i could describe it was that it felt like a dream and had never really happened, but they didnt seem to really get it. Its been a couple years and its still crazy to think about. Like, how did that happen??
Its weird to leave and go do something completely different and then come back and have to get readjusted to place you grew up in
Cool :)
How did u do that?
The synergy is pretty amazing. A reviewer who lived a decade in Japan, commenting on a show going to Japan, sponsored by snacks from Japan? That's the hat trick!
I'd love to hear more details about your time/life in Japan.
I love that icarly went to Japan it was so cool
I did rewatch the show recently and it surprisingly still made me laugh and had good jokes in it, despite certain things being written by a creep that didn’t age well, I still found the show to be entertaining. I think this episode specifically was over exaggerating for the sake of comedy and some of the lines just sounded more ignorant than straight up racist.
