The WEIRD World of Ned's Declassified

  • Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is a show that feels like it only comes around once in a decade or so. It has all the makings of what make a show in general good, but it's the unique ways that Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide brings you into the narrative in an artistic and cartoony fashion. But Nickelodeon never seemed to really love this show as much as the fans did, resulting in several attempts to get a roboot for Ned's Declassified but as of right now, nothing has come of it. Well, in a way, we actually may have just been given that reboot of Ned's Declassified in a slightly different way.

    I have been seeing more channels talk about Ned's Declassified recently. I think the podcast is helping build the "Ned" brand and value up more. Maybe this podcast would actually help them get a reboot.

    Something I really apreciated about this show is that unlike other shows at the time (*cough cough- Zoey 101) Most of the times the main characters didn't "Win" or had they plans go perfectly, like in the daydreaming episode, even tho Ned answered the riddle right, when he arrived to the cafeteria he was the only one who didn't get pizza. It really helped and teached kids that most of the times "winning everytime" or having everything come your way isn't a realistic turn of events.

    My favorite moment on Ned's Declassified was in the music class episode when Ned says he wants to rock like the Foo Fighters, Incubus... and Everclear, and the music teacher says "Never heard of them". The crazy thing was that the music teacher was actually played by the lead singer of Everclear, and the song he performs about wanting to be a rockstar is actually a song BY Everclear (my favorite song of theirs lol). I'm not even the biggest fan of Everclear, but this was such a cool thing to learn about and helped me to really respect them.

    • @Lechuga1815

      That's my favorite episode, while I never became a rockstar. I definitely remember that episode for teaching me about how even the basics and fundamentals are important for every activity you do. And it also gave me a lasting perspective on practice vs talent. Also, It was pretty cool when I realized it was the lead singer from Everclear. Although, it was pretty Everclear that he wasn't a normal actor from the beginning.

    One thing I liked about the show is that the teachers (even the strict ones) were shown to ultimately want what is best for the students rather than being portrayed as complete adversaries. The teachers might still at times be the conflict but they were always shown to have good intentions. I think shows that portray teachers as these evil beings that want to destroy all fun and fail everyone really do a disservice to both the students who see that and the teachers who teach them. So seeing a show that portrays teachers as not being somebody you want to be dealing with but who ultimately wants to see you succeed is much better than a lot of other shows I have seen.

I can see the episode titles now: "The Gig Economy", "Taxes", "Work/Life Balance", "Health Insurance", "Landlords", "Monetizing Your Hobbies", "Impending Environmental Disaster", and "Coping with Never Being Able to Own Your Own Home."

    I can distinctly remember using many tips from this show in school! Then learning from their mistakes and consequences helped me too. I quickly learned not use many tips from this show soon after. Lol.

    I was in middle school when this show was coming out, and I loved it. I remember actually using some of the tips. I related a lot to Ned, as they intended, but the amount of times I heard "He's a smart but lazy student", in my life was a common occurrence, and it's said about Ned a lot as well, so I really felt like we were in it together.

    This is the show I've watched the most of (besides ATLA) as an adult. I think it's because I was so excited going into 6th grade, and the 1st half the year went great, but the last half was terrible. My public school life never really recovered after that. :( This show represents the time when I thought I would be happy and with my friends forever.

    Ned declassified was one of the top tear shows I had growing up and for the time it was one of the only shows that fit into the middle school age to watch not too adult or to kiddy and having Ned speak directly to the camera about the tips made a more parrasoical relationship between the audience making it feel like he genuinely cared about making our time through school better. The tips genuinely did help for the beginning when it’s such a big change from elementary to middle and I feel like at least help me with understanding how to socialize better and give a better understanding of different social dynamics in young life

  • @christinadavies1925
    @christinadavies1925 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    So happy to see people celebrate this show, it's one of those shows that holds up, and is just... good. Incredible craftsmanship, genuinely funny, and a good heart at its core. Wild to look back on it and realize just how much the people who made it cared, and the positive impact it actually had on kids. I hope all the people who helped bring this show to life know that they contributed something truly good to the world.

    You really are the channel to watch to get that nostalgia tingle. I never knew they dated in real life and here I am invested in an hour long video about a show I really enjoyed during my middle school.

  • @GethOverlord
    @GethOverlord ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I didn't realize it at the time, because I was likely the perfect age for this show, but having Ned's Guide was really a great set of lessons that led to a level of emotional maturity I don't think I would have without. And that leads all the way up into the modern day. I would love to see what they could do with that kind of creative forethought into something like a sitcom that would have more substance than Big Bang or Friends or something like that.

  • @Disney15ish

    One interesting thing to add is Scott Fellows attempted a new "Ned's" style show at Nickeldeon after Big Time Rush/Johnny Test in 2014 that only lasted one season "100 Things To Do Before High School": featuring a main trio of kids navigating middle school (a girl and 2 boys) with help from a school faculty member played by an actor known for a Nickeldeon animated show (Jack De Sena).

  • @VideoGameAutopsy
    @VideoGameAutopsy ปีที่แล้ว +31

    This is one of those shows that has survived the test of time. When they first advertised it, I didn't really care for it. I saw it as Nick trying to sort through the leftovers of what Disney had done with their live action shows. "Ned" felt like Nick's answer to "Even Stevens", in the same way that "Unfabulous" was their attempt to win over "Lizzie McGuire" fans. But they were just different enough to be their own things, and in my opinion, "Ned" is the better show by a mile.

    I love how they did Lisa's Zimo glow up, it really is like that in Middle School sometimes you have liked that one person that you just expect to be really geeky looking for the rest of your life or whatever and then all of a sudden it's like bam totally different person and then yeah you have people like cookie who has just like this minor shift and thinks that they look great but really they just look the same just like slightly taller or something like that and then yeah you have that one person that it's like who is the new person because they look 100% different that does happen a lot in middle school I mean yeah it happens a lot more when you get the high school but sometimes there's that one person a few people really that it's like whoa who are you. I loved the show growing up it was one of my favorites every time it was on I would start watching.

    Thinking about it now, this might have been my favorite Nick show. Period. It came out when I was in middle school, so I could relate pretty easily, especially to Cookie. I also had the biggest crush on Moze.
    I don't think a reboot needs to happen. If Nick doesn't want it, it's their loss.

    I watch all your videos but only have commented on this one because I cannot begin to describe to you how important and influential this show was to my life. I recently rewatched it with my girlfriend, she had never seen it, and man can I tell you she loved it. Ned's, in my honest opinion, still holds up and I think is kinda essential to a pre-teens life. Thank you for this video

  • @frogurtcremebrulee5252

    I love this show! Looking back, I realize the way that other people talked about Drake and Josh and iCarly was how I felt about this one: Ned's Declassified was my show! Also, watching this retrospective made me realize how much of a role model Moze was for me. She wasn't a girlie girl and didn't fit in with a lot of the uber feminine middle schoolers, but she still dressed in girls' clothes had female friends, like I did. And I love how she did woodshop and didn't care what other people thought about it, because she was damn good at it! It really did impact how I carried myself through middle school, especially since the show ended right before I finished 5th grade

    Man this show was so special to me as a kid. I had a uniquely terrible middle school experience and had to grow up very quickly. Watching this show as it aired at the same time provided a sense of normalcy and helped me actually feel like a kid when i shouldve been, instead of dealing with harsh adult issues. All the nickelodeon shows helped but this one in particular helped getting through what felt to me like the more insignificant hurdles of school much easier.

  • @KDuggz99

    I always felt this was so silly but he gave a great tip for setting your locker numbers ahead of time if you had a next class you had to get to fast and I used that until high school. Not to mention the other little tips about love, life, and friendship I still treasure. What a show. What a breakdown. Thanks Jordan!

  • @debo10z

    Dude for a comedy, this show actually did put out some really useful tips for school. Like leaving your locker combo halfway done so you could just turn and open. Bringing extra clothes and siting by the door so you can avoid squeezing through a tiny door with 20 other people.

    I grew up with this show, and no lie my middle school shop teacher:
    1) had his classroom in a very dark and kinda scary basement
    And 2) was missing 3 fingers, which he claimed was specifically from the shop equipment
    And when I say I was TERRIFIED of shop after that, even though it ended up being a pretty cool class

  • @kpopfreak1359
    @kpopfreak1359 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    As someone who watched this show in Germany I always thought they were in highschool and not middle school! I think that was mostly because the German voice actors don't sound like middle schoolers (especially cookie in my opinion) and it always such a weird feeling to hear the actor's actual voice like I know they are young and you can tell they are young by looking at them but it's always fucking with my head

  • @maxordman4100
    @maxordman4100 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you so much for doing this video. Ned’s declassified was truly incredible. I actually watched it when I was in 9th grade. Which meant that I was ahead of all the TV characters but I still found them very relatable and the tips were helpful too. I would love to see the reboot series if it happens. I’m going to look up that podcast series very soon. So you’re going to do lots more Nickelodeon live action related content hunh? Please make a video on the Nickelodeon movie “Snow Day” at some point! I think it’s truly awesome and I know there’s a big fanbase behind it!

  • @brambleon
    @brambleon ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a real nostalgia bomb! I really enjoyed the show when it was on tv, and it really was a live action cartoon. I never followed any of the actors after the show, cause it was just a tv show for a young dumb me. But seeing them "grown up" which is also my age, and how passionate they seem about the show is so wholesome and just heartwarming. Ill definitely be checking out there podcast, and also to see them do a podcast with Ren from Even Stevens!? I didn't even recognize it was her until you revealed she's also Podco! Ill have to find that episode.

    If Nick doesn’t wake up and bring the show back, they could continue the podcast by doing what the show would’ve been- pick an “adulting” thing and discuss it as a podcast survival guide
