I always loved Drake & Josh, but I also loved Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide more. Not to mention I grew up in Canada so the two shows aired on different networks. Drake & Josh was on YTV while Ned's was on Family Channel.
@★ Froggie Animation ★ Drake and Josh was a typical sitcom. With some pretty good acting, to be sure (D&J were, arguably, noticeably better actors than the NDSSG main gang), but it didn't reaaly bring much to the table when it came to plots, dialogue, or narrative style. NDSSG, on the other hand, was wonderfully weird, original and had superb worldbuilding, it was almost like a children's Community in some ways.
@@umbrellacorporation9168 You must be very young lol these shows used to premiere new episodes after each other in the mid 2000's. Both shows started in 2004 and ended in 2007.
Ike Moore i grew up watching this show off the Teen Nick morning reruns. Every day I’d watch an episode while getting ready and have time for an episode while eating my cereal in the morning. Will always be timeless to me
Can we remember the time cookie got counted absent because he bent down and picked up a pencil while the teacher called his name for roll? Everyone's worst nightmare, after that episode.
Ned’s declassified created a weird genre of a show that worked so well. It was live action, but its writing was like a cartoon. Basically, a live action cartoon...and it was sooooooo good.
It's really validating to know many years later that all the shows you watched as a kid and really enjoyed were actually really well-written and executed.
@@aroccoification Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on that. Fairly Oddparents, Billy and Many, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd and Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, Drake and Josh, Invader Zim, Spongebob, Courage the Courage Dog, iCarly. They all had several talented pouring their hearts into a product that they themselves cared about and wanted others to experience. They had memorable characters and were cleverly written. If you go back even today to most Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes, you'll find that they really hold up. A lot of kids shows were just visual white noise; a moving image to keep your brats busy for half an hour or so, but these shows I've mentioned broke the mold and attempted to actually be something entertaining and WORTH watching.
@@aroccoification Let me ask you a fucking question, because I'm all but tired of being civil about it at this point. What about something being "nostalgic" immediately invalidates everything about it? I hear it all the time as a cheap way to brush things off. "You don't really like that game, it's just nostalgia." "That show is trash, you just have nostalgia goggles." A lot of nostalgic things still hold up today. Definitely not in how they're presented (graphics and sound and such), but the true value of what they bring to the table. That's what holds up; the feeling, the passion. And you can't kill that passion. So why is it that "nostalgia" carries such a negative connotation to a lot of people? That is a genuine question from me to you. Anyway, I'm going to bed now. Have a lovely day.
@@aroccoification I disagree. I've rewatched shows I felt a strong sense of nostalgia for and realized they were bad, and I've rewatched other shows I felt a strong sense of nostalgia for and felt that they held up. The point is, there are a lot more factors other than nostalgia. And you can't just sign off every old show just cause they're old. Anyway, your point about the hippocampus just sounds like "look how smart I am" mumbo jumbo. You're trying really hard to prove a point but really you just sound like an asshole. 🤷♂️
@@aroccoification Yes, I am. 1. Please elaborate on "bad television". Because it's for kids? Because it's not game of thrones? Because they're cartoons? 2. How does that explain me watching an old movie from the 80's that I've never seen before and absolutely loving it, Mr. smart Internet man? Why are you so adamant to prove me "wrong" when you have nothing but opinions to support your flimsy argument?
Classes for Uni are starting for me soon and after watching clips from this video I just realized... I've internalized SO MUCH OF "THE GUIDE" to help me be ready for school and day to day... And I've been at Uni for over 5 years now...
One thing that always fascinated me about the show was how the teachers were portrayed. Even the most sadistic ones had something of a J. Jonah Jameson quality to them that showed there was usually more to them than Ned thought. Like you had Mr. Sweeney who would seem to take great joy in making Ned suffer but it was mostly because he knew Ned was smarter than his grades showed and mostly just wanted him to study harder. Even the vice principal who on the surface was just another maniacal authority figure you would expect to see from a lesser Nick show still had a couple good episodes. Like when he showed mercy on Lisa Zemo for destroying school property because it was her first offense and he admitted she did it for a decent reason (to get rid of old school supplies in dire need of replacements). There was also the time he admitted to Ned the reason he became a Vice Principal was because he used to be a cop and he decided to switch careers in an effort to reach kids before they end up like the people he put away as an officer.
yes. i remember those moments. even when they used them as antagonists (like thevice principal when he tried to became principal, or when he wanted his donuts in the vending machines), they were enjoyable. i still loved when mr. sweeney essentially tricked ned into just studying for an exam with the myth of a golden notebook because he knewthat, if he had just told ned to study, he would have seen it as a homework and would have just ditched it. or that epic moment when ned got around having to do like 4 extra credit projects for 4 different subjects by creating 1 that was applicable to all 4 of them (it involved a pyramid as far as i remember). and even the teachers eventually accepted it for the loophole that it was
Derek Johns Honestly looking back at it, the Mr Sweeney was definitely a great teacher. First thing that popped into mind when hearing his name was how one time they had to make molecular structures and Ned messed around and got an F, but when he actually put in effort he got something like a D or C and a smile from Sweeney. And in terms of the Vice Principal I really loved him as a character, not only was he fun and to this day I at times pretend being him when taking off my glasses, but he showed understanding and compassion despite the more rough exterior you would often see. And the fact that he changed his career to help kids before it is too late just goes to show how amazing he was as a character.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 come to think of it, a lot of Nick shows tended to push healthy(healthIER) eating by just making it funny Unbuttered popcorn, berry granola (the stuff replaced by donuts), turkey bacon, low-fat cheeseless vegetarian pizza I still eat garbage all the time but I'm more inclined to balance it out and try the better option when it's available
BRUH i remember the last episode, “field trip” came out right before i had a class field trip and that episode helped me land my first “girlfriend” with the girl i liked in like 7th grade! this show was so damn good
Ned's Declassified was the Community of Nickelodeon. Had a lot of memorable side characters, and a lot of stories to tell too. It was my favorite show alongside Drake & Josh. So nostalgic.
FINALLY! A much deserved Ned's Declassified video essay. I started rewatching this show with my little sister as she entered middle school and finished a few weeks ago when she graduated the 8th grade. One of the best decisions I've ever had. The show holds up TREMENDOUSLY, both in humor and values.
whats a "supreme gucci"? arent they two seperate entities? bruhh supreme didnt invent the color red and thats either a northface or moncler jacket ffs, you croissant!
I always said that Ned's Declassified was our generation's Saved By The Bell. I remember being in elementary school and thinking that this was what middle school would be like. Obviously, my middle school experience was nothing like this show, but it did accurately portray middle school dynamics better than any show I've seen. Also, Vice-Principal Crubbs was the funniest character on the show, hands down.
Bryan _350_ for me we did it because I was a military kid, but then when my dad went into the reserves my mom ended up just getting us into a homeschool program in my area!where there’s extra classes for homeschooled kids (like PE or art classes). I felt like I learned a lot being homeschooled and still got to do parks and rec sports, but I also really liked going to public school! I also went to private school for a year (8th grade) and it was my least favorite out of the three schooling options lol :)
One thing that I appreciated about Ned is that the episodes had a consistent story arc from the beginning to end which affects not just the primary characters but also some of the side characters.
That tip: “Classes are never full, they just reach capacity.” I used that in high school. I wanted to get into a yoga instead of general PE. So I asked nicely and explained to my counselor how I knew I wouldn’t succeed in general PE and he transferred me that day! It works, guys!
@@Saltedroastedcaramel yeah, late 90's early 2000's live actions from Disney and Nick were kind of the exception, most of the time teenagers were portrayed by adults.
Oh my God! No one talks about this show ever on TH-cam. This show is so elusive to find, that anything I find about the show that is like your video I watch. But, I do still use one of the tips that this show gave to this day. It's about procrastination and how to deal with it. I use that all the time. The show helped in many many ways and when I was in school. Maybe not in the same way but it did help in certain ways. This is one of my favorite live action Nick TV shows ever.
@@gbpdrum45 the procrastination tip wear Ned and Moes make a bet to see who can finish the project on time because she sees that Ned isn't working on his project. He works on the Japanese theme for his project and Moses project is clogging. In with doing his project he gives us tips on how to not procrastinate till the final minute and how to use it to our advantage. Because of Ned giving the tips on how to not procrastinate and use it for you, in the end, Mose loses the BET and has to dress up like a clown like thing with a plunger in her hand and dance in front of the whole school in the weird to get up. I used the tips from that episode everyday when I need to finish doing a project or task that is big.
@@starprincessjolie the tips were, If you're having trouble starting your project and you're putting it off because it seems big, try separating it into smaller activities that you can do. (taking from the show) in Ned's case, he had to do a report about Japan. So he watched a Japanese kung fu movie and studied it, he made Sushi and learned how that was made, he made a popsicle stick figure of a Japanese Samurai and he wrote the report. He broke it up into smaller pieces. So it didn't seem like a huge project he had to get done, it was a bunch of smaller tasks that he did to get the bigger picture of what he needed done while doing the fun stuff mixed in with his other stuff.
The show's humor also transcends cultural boundaries. As a kid I watched the Dutch dub of this show. It was still entertaining even though the whole concept of high school is totally different here.
I remembered the episode where Ned was growing pubic hair, and one of the teachers told Ned to put powder on it to relieve the dreaded itch. Bruh, it actually works in real life!
@Devin Christopher I also thought that too, but then the final time I watched that episode when I was 13 and started manscaping and junk. It was such good advice
@@juliaa35 easy to get to your seat & exit to lower the risk of getting a tardy & getting to the restrooms early so you won't have to wait. Well that's what I remember
Man I miss this show, it reminds me of Disney’s Recess, with how every character has their own characteristic in the show. I miss the wiesel, backpack boy, coconut head, the science teacher? And janitor Gordon? I wish I had remember this guide when I went to high school. I saw this when I was in elementary and never thought about how this could possibly benefit my life. But hey you learn along the way that’s life. And that’s how the rules were added to the guide. If I remember right, there were even some episodes that talked about old passes in the guide. But still Wiesel best mom in the show.
I remember one tip from this show sticking with me: “if you are having trouble deciding between two answers on a test, your first choice is usually right”, i dunno why but its totally true and has saved me on a few occasions
Great work!! I went back and rewatched the entire series a few years back and the overarching storylines are great and the movie at the end was exactly what I wanted. Definitely more entertaining than adult content and the janitor kept things even crazier.
*Ned’s was my all time favorite show as a kid, and I never understood why it was so underrated. Even now as an adult, I could sit down and watch this and enjoy myself the whole time. NO SHAME*
My favorite aspect of this show was always the audio mixing and SFX. Going back and watching this recently, everytime Loomer showed up and that generic rock theme played as backup I just couldn't keep myself from laughing for whatever reason.
This show really helped me as a kid, I have ADHD and this show gave me so many tips on how to handle my flaws. I still use many of these tips as adult.
It wasn't only for teens! Even though it was made for them, kids watched it, too! I was a kid when it came out. My family loved it! I watched it all the time! The organization episode helped young me, and made it a defining trait other people noticed about me growing up! There is truly no other show like it!
Whenever I watch Ned's Declassified, it always takes me back to the early 2000's and reminds me of how great and interesting the times were most of the time. My point is, there's absolutely NO WAY this show would have worked in the 2010's if it were created in say 2014, instead of 2004. The popculture references, and cool tech for the time just make it work. This show is a time capsule of the early 2000's and I'm greatful I grew up with it.
The one episode I'll always remember is the one where there was a kid who was super negative, so Ned tried to find a friend that could make them happy. By the end, that kid found another "negative" person and they got along really well. It's not something a kid would register as anything important, but I can't think of many other kids shows that teach a lesson about not forcing relationships.
I've loved this show since I was a kid. Even back then, I knew it was something special. It has its own flair that makes it stand out from its Teen Nick companion shows. It cracks me up!
I love how you catered to our asking for these vids on these shows I remember seeing neds comments only on two videos in mass and I was in agreement of those comments Thank you so much for this one ^^
Just wanna say I love, LOVE these videos. I might not have loved the particular shows back then, but the deep dive of them makes me feel understood on a level I’ve never felt before. I really hope my favorite cartoon of all time, Hey Arnold, gets a video like this someday 🔥
I absolutely loved this show but I never see anybody ever talking about it! It was always on right when I got home from school and I always looked forward to it
Dude I used to absolutely love this show and I was a little kid I used to watch the show every single day before school cuz I remember they used to have episodes of it running before I had to go to school and then would have I got back home from school they had brand new episodes such a great show I was so sad whenever they ended the show;(!
Ned’s is and always will be my favorite nick live action show tbh. Drake and Josh is 2 of course but ned’s always holds a special place in my heart and memory and childhood. 😌
Neds was one of the few shows from my childhood I remember my Dad and I both laughing at, and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I just love how educational, and ridiculous that show was, every episode was entertaining to watch, what made it better is how the show wasn't dramatic like how most teen shows were at the time
Cool thing about this show is that it came around when me and my friends were just about to finish 6 grade and head off to middle school. And this show really helped us out. Anyway no episode comes close as the Field trip episode.
This was my favorite show on Nick. I literally grew up with this show. It 1st came out when I was was in 6th grade & ended my 8th grade year. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide helped through my middle school years.
I love this channel just for putting in the effort to produce respectable video essays on deserving shows from my childhood that never seemed to be given a serious look anywhere else.
Neds Declassified was one of my favouite shows when it was on TV. I still love it and wish there were more episodes for me to revisit but all good things must come to an end
My Fiance and I began dating literally by laughing at this show. We both were in middle school when this was on, and as adults we still kept making references to this show then and now. We just referenced this show at dinner... like people have no idea how much this show molded the generation 90-93... we were in middle school with these guys. We took this show to heart, its so charming and over the top in a way that we just smile. I see others like it still too.
This show was pretty good. Saw it when I was early years of highschool. Then it got canned out of nowhere. Just finished binge watching it online, and as an adult, it was still pretty good.
Aaagghhhh!!!! The joy in my soul to see this. Thememories this brings back. God, Nickelodeon back in the day was amazing. Only the elite had Disney however Nickelodeon always made the most memorable episodes and jokes
It really shocks me when I find out that so many of these shows only had 3 or 4 seasons. Avatar, Drake and Josh, Ned’s declassified-I would’ve loved to have 3 more of each.
I recently found out about this show, and I wasn't born when it was airing. I really wanna watch it. I love the characters, they are all funny and interesting. I never heard nostalgic nick fans talk about this show. It's really underrated.
Such a great show. New to the channel and I've been on a binge ever since I saw the Eds episode, love your work! Also, random fact that people may or may not know, Gordy from Ned's does the voice for Cosmo on Fairly OddParents which made the Daydreaming episode so much better!
What Teen Nick show would you most want to see reruns of air on TV?
Defently neds declassifed it was my all time favorite live action nick show
Drake & Josh or Victorious
That's a tough choice but probably drake and josh
Hey Arnold
Terry Bogard the show on Nick?
I don’t remember the show being so short......... like honestly
11 minutes. Damn
SavMarz it was 11mins for each part and the show consisted of two parts. So in total the show was 22 mins, with two 11 min parts.
I can't think of another live action show with that kind of cartoony format.
I remember watching this shit all day
SavMarz bro I can nearly remember the length cause every time it was playing I was changing into clothes and brushing my teeth
@@venombarbie also gotta add like 2-4 minutes for the commercials between both parts
I feel like Ned's Declassified never got the love that it deserved & was always overshadowed by Drake & Josh.
Drake and Josh was discontinued while this was still on tv
I always loved Drake & Josh, but I also loved Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide more. Not to mention I grew up in Canada so the two shows aired on different networks. Drake & Josh was on YTV while Ned's was on Family Channel.

Wait... general PE was optional for you? And there were alternatives?! Lucky.
And a little bit of this-
“We love wood!”
-Can get u into any class

And how some girls get into Yale
Ah yes, back in the day when kids weren't played by 20-somethings..
i am confusion haha yes
Yeah I'm sick of 16 year olds being played by adults that are 10 years older :/ At least cast adults who LOOK like teenagers.
To be fair, some of the minor characters on that show were definitely 18+. Still lots of actual middle school kids though.
Hate to break it to you, but even back then....
@@Saltedroastedcaramel yeah, late 90's early 2000's live actions from Disney and Nick were kind of the exception, most of the time teenagers were portrayed by adults.
My favorite joke that I still remember too this day.
Cookie: do you think Suzy Crabgrass is hot?
Janitor: for legal reasons I can't answer that.
He said Lisa Zemo not Suzy
@@cennxyz1522 it's been a while I forgot.
@@Tomja87 it's okay
HA! I remembered this exact thing while watching the video. =D
@@madiantin nice xD
This show was an enigma in that it was basically an educational cartoon inside a live action show's body. Good video,man.
it was also technically a live action anime. AND A GOOD ONE. if you think about it
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the actor that played Cookie? He really gave it his everything and killed every script he was given.
I was never as sad about a show ending as I was when Ned's ended back in the day. Such an underrated show
StarvedRock 314 facts
I never even caught the “alternative couple” reference. Just proves how groundbreaking the show was
I can't believe a joke like that aired on Nick in the 2000s, went right over my head lmao.
Oh my God! No one talks about this show ever on TH-cam. This show is so elusive to find, that anything I find about the show that is like your video I watch.
But, I do still use one of the tips that this show gave to this day. It's about procrastination and how to deal with it. I use that all the time.
The show helped in many many ways and when I was in school. Maybe not in the same way but it did help in certain ways. This is one of my favorite live action Nick TV shows ever.
The Game Guy what was the procrastination tip?
@@gbpdrum45 the procrastination tip wear Ned and Moes make a bet to see who can finish the project on time because she sees that Ned isn't working on his project. He works on the Japanese theme for his project and Moses project is clogging. In with doing his project he gives us tips on how to not procrastinate till the final minute and how to use it to our advantage. Because of Ned giving the tips on how to not procrastinate and use it for you, in the end, Mose loses the BET and has to dress up like a clown like thing with a plunger in her hand and dance in front of the whole school in the weird to get up.
I used the tips from that episode everyday when I need to finish doing a project or task that is big.
@@thegameguy8957 I remember that episode but what were the tips?
@@starprincessjolie the tips were,
If you're having trouble starting your project and you're putting it off because it seems big, try separating it into smaller activities that you can do.
(taking from the show) in Ned's case, he had to do a report about Japan. So he watched a Japanese kung fu movie and studied it, he made Sushi and learned how that was made, he made a popsicle stick figure of a Japanese Samurai and he wrote the report. He broke it up into smaller pieces. So it didn't seem like a huge project he had to get done, it was a bunch of smaller tasks that he did to get the bigger picture of what he needed done while doing the fun stuff mixed in with his other stuff.
Neds Declassified was the Scrubs for teens. Thats why it was good.
The show's humor also transcends cultural boundaries. As a kid I watched the Dutch dub of this show. It was still entertaining even though the whole concept of high school is totally different here.
I'm rewatching the Dutch dub now. The localization was really great, even for a concept that makes no sense to a Dutch audience.
And then you were disappointed when you found out Dutch high schools have no lunch 😂
oh my god... I just realized Cookie is the original Man's not hot
Omg deceased
I am gooooooooooooooneeeee
Lmaoooooo
I remembered the episode where Ned was growing pubic hair, and one of the teachers told Ned to put powder on it to relieve the dreaded itch. Bruh, it actually works in real life!
That was Sweeny´s advice, episode Health
@Devin Christopher I also thought that too, but then the final time I watched that episode when I was 13 and started manscaping and junk. It was such good advice
@@carloseduardoalvaradopinel4297 yes! Thank you!
I was young when this shower aired but the "sit by the door" tip stayed in my memory and became very useful in High School
Noah R why again should you sit next to the door?
@@juliaa35 easy to get to your seat & exit to lower the risk of getting a tardy & getting to the restrooms early so you won't have to wait.
Well that's what I remember
After all these years somehow Ned and Moze still feels like one of the most real, organic and emotionally satisfying love stories ever put on TV
This show got me through Middle, and even High School. Some of the tips in this show surprisingly work for high school as well.
I also loved that the cast was kids that looked very relatable, didnt have the "disney" look, had different sizes, races and personalities.
Cookie actually never stopped wearing puff jackets and now goes by the name "Big Shaq"
Man I miss this show, it reminds me of Disney’s Recess, with how every character has their own characteristic in the show. I miss the wiesel, backpack boy, coconut head, the science teacher? And janitor Gordon?
I wish I had remember this guide when I went to high school. I saw this when I was in elementary and never thought about how this could possibly benefit my life. But hey you learn along the way that’s life. And that’s how the rules were added to the guide. If I remember right, there were even some episodes that talked about old passes in the guide.
But still Wiesel best mom in the show.
I remember one tip from this show sticking with me: “if you are having trouble deciding between two answers on a test, your first choice is usually right”, i dunno why but its totally true and has saved me on a few occasions
Student: Somebody threw up in the hall
Gordy: Yeah, I'll let the "Night Guy" get that
We need a college version of Ned's Declassified.
*Modern problems require absurd solutions*
Great work!! I went back and rewatched the entire series a few years back and the overarching storylines are great and the movie at the end was exactly what I wanted. Definitely more entertaining than adult content and the janitor kept things even crazier.
*Ned’s was my all time favorite show as a kid, and I never understood why it was so underrated. Even now as an adult, I could sit down and watch this and enjoy myself the whole time. NO SHAME*
My favorite aspect of this show was always the audio mixing and SFX. Going back and watching this recently, everytime Loomer showed up and that generic rock theme played as backup I just couldn't keep myself from laughing for whatever reason.
Finally, Neds declassified finally gets credit. Looking back ten years later this show was actually genius that went unrecognized. Subscribed.
This show really helped me as a kid, I have ADHD and this show gave me so many tips on how to handle my flaws. I still use many of these tips as adult.
One of my all time favorite shows growing up! Thanks for the neat breakdown of its formula
Literally my favorite nick show. The characters were such a joy to watch.
Artofizanagi I don’t think there was one unlikable character on the show
I didn't like Evelyn. She was for the most part awful towards Cookie.
It wasn't only for teens! Even though it was made for them, kids watched it, too! I was a kid when it came out. My family loved it! I watched it all the time! The organization episode helped young me, and made it a defining trait other people noticed about me growing up! There is truly no other show like it!
Whenever I watch Ned's Declassified, it always takes me back to the early 2000's and reminds me of how great and interesting the times were most of the time. My point is, there's absolutely NO WAY this show would have worked in the 2010's if it were created in say 2014, instead of 2004. The popculture references, and cool tech for the time just make it work. This show is a time capsule of the early 2000's and I'm greatful I grew up with it.
The one episode I'll always remember is the one where there was a kid who was super negative, so Ned tried to find a friend that could make them happy. By the end, that kid found another "negative" person and they got along really well. It's not something a kid would register as anything important, but I can't think of many other kids shows that teach a lesson about not forcing relationships.
Bruh this show was so dope. Loved this and Icarly man all the shows back then were so good
Lun Hing you’re treading on some mighty thin ice with iCarly.
I found i carly pretty bad but I loved Ned's
@@StinkyPataki The tailend of the series, yes but iCarly was cool for the first 2-3 seasons
MarloSoBalJr I agree the first few episodes were legit funny
Icarly was dope before all the romance shit. Carly turned into a hoe in later seasons too
I've loved this show since I was a kid. Even back then, I knew it was something special. It has its own flair that makes it stand out from its Teen Nick companion shows. It cracks me up!
I love how you catered to our asking for these vids on these shows
I remember seeing neds comments only on two videos in mass and I was in agreement of those comments
Thank you so much for this one ^^
Of course man! I loved these shows too!
This show aired while I was in high school- I watched it all the time! It was still relatable to me even at ages 14-17.
Dude. You’re vid’s are awesome. Keep it up man. No, seriously, *keep it up!*
Dude Cowboy cookie is my fucking jam. Love that song.
Ned’s Declassified was literally my childhood and helped guide me through middle school.
Just wanna say I love, LOVE these videos. I might not have loved the particular shows back then, but the deep dive of them makes me feel understood on a level I’ve never felt before. I really hope my favorite cartoon of all time, Hey Arnold, gets a video like this someday 🔥
My favorite and most nostalgic show! It is absolutely a crime that it ended so early and we never got that high school spin off/sequel
My dad used to watch the show with me and my sister and he laughed pretty often lol.
This was and IS one of the best shows on Nick! I miss Ned’s Declassified :(
My favorite and most memorable episode is the one about the rush from the final bell to catching the bus. It was so relatable
Moze absolutely destroyed my kid feelings.
I was desperately in love with her.
My first TH-cam channel back in 2007 was devonishott123 because of the guy who played Ned...this show was a big deal for me in middle school obvs 😭
The lessons on procrastinating were the best thing anyone's ever taught me.
Did Ned's Declassified give anybody else unreal expectations of bully's before entering school (I was watching the show before I had started school)
Yeah, but so did almost all the kids shows.
Ironically enough that was one of the show's MOST realistic tips for me.
No, but it did further exacerbate my belief that the tips were not as helpful as the maker of this video believes.
I absolutely loved this show but I never see anybody ever talking about it! It was always on right when I got home from school and I always looked forward to it
Wow the small clips you showed made me laugh out loud, this show is still surprisingly funny and best of all no fake laughs in the background
More like NEDstalgic...
Il go back to my corner now..
Dude I used to absolutely love this show and I was a little kid I used to watch the show every single day before school cuz I remember they used to have episodes of it running before I had to go to school and then would have I got back home from school they had brand new episodes such a great show I was so sad whenever they ended the show;(!
Seeing Ned's declassified episodes still gives me warm fuzzy feels as an adult. Ah where the time has gone...
its crazy how much shorter shows like this one were than I remembered them being as a kid :P
Ned’s is and always will be my favorite nick live action show tbh. Drake and Josh is 2 of course but ned’s always holds a special place in my heart and memory and childhood. 😌
This show was often in when I supervised kids. I was inspired to go back to college and become a science teacher.
Hahaha you became Mr. Sweeney!
Neds was one of the few shows from my childhood I remember my Dad and I both laughing at, and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I just love how educational, and ridiculous that show was, every episode was entertaining to watch, what made it better is how the show wasn't dramatic like how most teen shows were at the time
You make a great case for why Ned's Declassified worked so well--glad to see that the show is finally getting the attention it deserved!
Cool thing about this show is that it came around when me and my friends were just about to finish 6 grade and head off to middle school. And this show really helped us out. Anyway no episode comes close as the Field trip episode.
This was my favorite show on Nick. I literally grew up with this show. It 1st came out when I was was in 6th grade & ended my 8th grade year. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide helped through my middle school years.
I think I can speak for many, Regular Show. The final cartoon of the Checkered CN Era.
I love this channel just for putting in the effort to produce respectable video essays on deserving shows from my childhood that never seemed to be given a serious look anywhere else.
I can't believe I took this show for granted! I never realized that it was trying to teach me. :(
Neds Declassified was one of my favouite shows when it was on TV. I still love it and wish there were more episodes for me to revisit but all good things must come to an end
i literally subscribed like an hour ago, and you are already giving me new content. Excellent work, keep it up.
Thank you for talking about one of my favorite shows growing up!!!
My Fiance and I began dating literally by laughing at this show. We both were in middle school when this was on, and as adults we still kept making references to this show then and now. We just referenced this show at dinner... like people have no idea how much this show molded the generation 90-93... we were in middle school with these guys. We took this show to heart, its so charming and over the top in a way that we just smile. I see others like it still too.
This show was pretty good. Saw it when I was early years of highschool. Then it got canned out of nowhere. Just finished binge watching it online, and as an adult, it was still pretty good.
When cookie had iron man tech before Robert downey jr
Aaagghhhh!!!! The joy in my soul to see this. Thememories this brings back. God, Nickelodeon back in the day was amazing. Only the elite had Disney however Nickelodeon always made the most memorable episodes and jokes
It really shocks me when I find out that so many of these shows only had 3 or 4 seasons. Avatar, Drake and Josh, Ned’s declassified-I would’ve loved to have 3 more of each.
It’s tough when it comes to live action starring children. They “age out” of their roles really fast.
I finished school a few months ago and in retrospective, Ned's helped me way more then I realised back then
I can get into how this show helped me through my years if middle school. Which were by far the toughest school years of my life.
I recently found out about this show, and I wasn't born when it was airing.
I really wanna watch it. I love the characters, they are all funny and interesting. I never heard nostalgic nick fans talk about this show. It's really underrated.
Such a great show. New to the channel and I've been on a binge ever since I saw the Eds episode, love your work!
Also, random fact that people may or may not know, Gordy from Ned's does the voice for Cosmo on Fairly OddParents which made the Daydreaming episode so much better!
and the voice of Jorgen von Strangle
