Horrendous acting aside, I do miss when actual children were cast as children. **that sounds weird.. what I mean is I can’t pretend KJ Apa doesn’t look 40 trying to be 16. Looking at you, Riverdale...

When you don’t realise how terrible the acting was until you’re older

Why does all scripted teen dialogue sound like the writers have never seen two people talk?

I didn't know that the actress who played Nicole was heavily bullied on the show by everyone. I didn't understand why she left the show, cause I was just a kid, but hearing her story makes me feel really bad. I can't look at the show the same way

It's crazy how she looked so grown back when I was a kid. Now they all look like babies lol.

I SWEAR the acting used to be better when I was a kid...

It’s so sad that the girl who played Nicole was bullied through that:(

I’m so happy someone said it. The show didn’t get cancelled because she was pregnant it was coming to a close around that time.

Those outfits are so painfully 2000's I'm getting flashbacks

I do appreciate they are like actually kids, like nowadays any of the “high school shows” the actors are in their mid twenties.

What I want to know is why it was such a big deal that Logan was rich when everyone at that school was rich?

i literally bursted in laughing when that nerd girl said "get them food , turn up the music and get the party starting YO" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I was a kid everyone here looked like college students.

Quinn and Logan’s relationship was my biggest childhood shock.

Knowing that they bullied Alexa Nikolas the whole time, or ignored her and the bullying (except for the guy who played Chase who was apparently the only one who was nice to her) REALLY ruins the nostalgia I had for this show. Also how Jamie Lynn treated Britney and continued to lie about Britney AND Alexa in her bullshit “autobiography”. Ugh.

What's really sad about this, is what happened to the actress of Nicole. Apparently, she endured hell throughout the production of the first two seasons.

The whole relationship between Quinn and Logan had me invested tho

Their voices were so squeaky;-; watching this as a kid I never noticed, guess because I was younger than them so they seemed "old".

My favourite thing about Zoey 101 is how literally every other character is better written and infinitely better acted than Zoey herself. Jamie lynn had the acting chops of a plank of wood.

Nichole is significantly better at acting than Zoey

You’d be surprised how many girls will fall for “I like your teeth”

That's wierd, most teen shows you kinda think everyone is in their late teens, everyone here looks pre-teen.

Also in regards to this video, yeah it’s a girl who goes to school, but the interactions were something to learn from. Especially as an adolescent. This show was about Chase overcoming his fear to tell Zoey how much she meant to him. It was about Quinn becoming more confident in herself aside from her intellect. It was about Logan embracing his intellect and to stop being insecure about it; his attraction doesn’t have to be solely physical. These are just some examples. Some kids are blessed with a loving family who helps them with confidence, while others need to learn about it on their own. This is what this show did for me.

Back when they had actual teens playing teens😂

“This guy who’s name is Logan because of course it is.” Me who is named Logan: *whats that supposed to mean*

“ Pca is FINALLY accepting girls” , so all girls and new. Why do you ask her if she is a new student..?

“Nowadays you could have like the most amazing show ever and Netflix cancels it after two or three seasons”.... *cof cof* Anne with and E *cof cof*

Someone remember the episode when they tried to exhibit Logan completely NAKED on the shower on freaking TV just because he spreaded a rumour?? Yeah, this show was kind of messed up

“I like your teeth” “Who says that” *You probably said that Alex*

Nicole talking about the urinal in their bathroom: this is a girls dorm and that is clearly not for girls Alex: well it could be if you just believed in yourself a little bit more

I remember when I used to think the people in this show looked old. Now they look so young.

6:53 I felt literal physical pain from this

Two reasons why Zoey 101 is the best Dan Schneider Series: - No Background Laughter - Free Camera Two Reasons why not: - The Acting - Nicole

Legend has it, Gibby takes off his shirt and fights back against Nora in ICarly has to be one of the most iconic moments in anime history.

Alright so this is a Zoey 101 appreciation post, and how it changed my life weirdly enough. I realize now how even as an adolescent, I took even the simplest things and put meaning behind them. Zoey 101 literally helped me break through social anxiety as a kid. I lost my mom when I was almost 12, and it was a hard time for me to have friends because she was really the only one who would drive me to after school activities/friend’s houses. My dad was always working, kind of abusive, and my older teenage brother would abuse me. It’s like he needed to be in control of me. As far as my father who really never knew me, I knew there was something off about my dad’s morals as to what I could wear. He sexualized makeup and clothing. I used to be bullied a lot for my clothes (plain and I was always covered up), and for being quiet. I wasn’t really allowed to have friends unless I could ride my bike to them, but I lived in the middle of no where and I had about 2 friends I could bike to. Middle school was really rough for me. I was so inspired by Zoey’s outfits and how outgoing she was, and watching the show helped me change my aesthetic, find my own style of clothing/hair, and become more bubbly and make more friends. I became confident entering high school after watching the show. Although I couldn’t really hang out with many friends, people wanted to get to know me. That was the first step in me breaking free. Now I dance in front of crowds and wear my art without a care in the world. Sounds drawn out but it all started with this show.

I actually just binged it like 3 months ago and the first season and especially the first few episodes are not great. You can really tell that they are just kids trying to figure out how to act. Each season that goes by, the show gets better and better

"They just let [Dan Shneider] do anything he wanted I guess" WELL IF THAT AIN'T THE TRUTH

This show was a comedy but it still had its emotional moments: Chase going to his grandmother's birthday to soon release she died was so heart wrenching. God, it was brilliant

I remember when this show aired on TV, and I remember thinking they all seemed like full on young adults, but seeing this now is a huge of a perspective shift.

Alex: “The best way to gauge how attractive you are is to see how many people get life-threatening injuries when you walk around them.” Me When I Walk Around In My Neighborhood: *Breaking News: Injury Rate Drops To Zero*

literally everyone including me: *laughing histerically because of the way alex says “bébé”* also, don’t reply if you want to fight because of a silly little comment, just skip it.

Alex Meyers: „This show made 4 seasons about a kid going to school.“ Me, an intellectual: *laughs in Boy meets World*

3:25 As a New Yorker I gotta correct you, it's normally around 5pm

Zoey 101 makes me feel nostalgic for a time I wish I could have enjoyed more. Being born in 2001 I witnessed the early 2000s as a child and couldn't properly grasp what an amazing time it actually was. While drake and Josh is also from the same time, Zoey 101 embodies the culture of the early 2000s much better. The Fashion, the humor, the lifestyle, how society was, Mp3 players, Ghetto Blasters, flip phones and everything being super colorful. If you take away 9/11 the early 2000s were such a chill and carefree time. The show has kinda developed an unintentional political statement for me. With the show having concluded in May 2nd 2008 when the series finale first aired, it narrowly avoided the financial crisis that struck us later that year. The financial crisis and its following global recession (which the world never fully recovered from) really turned our society grey and hostile. And Zoey 101 manifests the great and carefree time we had before the financial crisis changed our lives forever, mostly for the worse. It's like a last hurray and I get really emotional and depressed when I watch Zoey 101 as it makes me long for those years of the early 2000s that I could never fully appreciate at that time because of how young I wass

I don’t know how the actor who portrayed Chase could possibly act as awkward without it being part of his personality

i’m sobbing the acting and script was so bad but it holds so much nostalgia, this was one of my favourite shows as a kid ngl

3:19 "I wasn't born yesterday" .... Yea but your acting was

2:34 yeah my room would look like that. And I'd put a sign on the door that says "The room behind the slaughter"

Literally everybody wanted to go to a school like PCA

The Nick classic I dont hear too many people talk about .

I just realized that the part at 1:41 is pretty much exactly stolen from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Cool blonde girl looks at school on the first day and awkward guy stares, falls immediately in love and falls on his face. They didn't even try to hide it damn...

This show was the greatest example of the 2000's

Do Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide!

“I like your teeth” basically translates to “you have a nice smile” unless the person has a teeth fetish or something idk

I never watched this show but I remember a friend of mine watched it religiously because he had a crush on Britney Spears' sister. He was totally obsessed with Britney and thought since her sister was around our age that he might actually have a chance with her. It really crushed his spirit when she got pregnant, hasn't been the same since.

It's a little simplistic to say that shows back then where "about nothing". Like the point of Zoey 101 was that they are at a boarding school with no parents around and teachers basically letting them run wild (iirc) so it's the allure of a show about college but aimed at young teens. And One Tree Hill was about people never getting out of their boring little town and everyone having history with each other (e.g. Dan knocking up two different women around the same time) and the drama that gets caused by this.

"Zoey 101 Is The Most Famous Show On Nickelodeon" Avatar The Last Airbender: *"Am I A Joke to To You?"*

“Because of the bèbè” I couldn’t stop laughing😂😂

This was a secret pleasure of mine back in the day. Yeah, it wasn’t all that good, but the girls were cute and the whole show wasn’t as mean spirited as some of the shows that came later, like victorious. There was an innocence to it. I still listen to the theme song every so often.

When I look back to these shows I just think "they look so tiny" cuz of how much they've changed

“Whose name is Logan because of course it is”

The zoey 101 theme song is still like the best theme song

Honestly, Quinn was the true star of the show.

I’ve been saying for years that they should’ve continued the storyline with a pregnant zoey who got knocked up by chase. Could’ve moved it to MTV

One of my girlfriends in highschool started off our first conversation with “ you have perfect teeth!”

the whole video: HILARIOUS when Alex says "the bébé" : IS SENT TO ANOTHER DIMENSION TO LAUGH WHOLEHEARTEDLY

I loved this show as a kid but it’s so bad looking back on it. I wanted to go to PCA and have a JetX and a Tek-Mate aka a glorified Sidekick that we didn’t have in the UK 😂

7:24 i died of laughter

Chase had enough time to swerve before hitting the pole. Like there was so much space

The irony is that the girl who played Nicole and the girl who played zoey HATED each other

I used to love this show... until i found out how pretty much all the cast bullied Alexa (Nicole) until she quit and didn't even invited her to the reunion

00:10 That was me but opposite. There was Nickelodeon stuff i liked and Disney stuff i never even knew existed. I was definitely a Nick person, Especially w/Avatar!

More nickelodeon shows: 1. unfabulous 2. Just Jordan 3. Ned's declassified school survival guide

Day 1 of asking Alex Myers to do Neds Declassified School Survival Guide

6:58 i- wth😭💀💀

You should do next “Unfabulous” from 2004-2007, a Nickelodeon show that Emma Roberts’ career rose from and that’s how she’s a huge pop star now.

Nobody: Alex: bebe Me: laughs like a whole hyena 😂😂😂 for some reason

Because of Zoey 101, I spent years dreaming of going to a boarding school like PCA, which is hilarious considering my social anxiety and how much I disliked being with my classmates and stuff

all premonitions aside, watching the cast grow up and the story lines develop, the show became a really great series. This is literally just a review of the first episode. There were countless others that had good teen dialogue with emotion-invoking narratives.

Omggg “because of the... bébé” oh lawd. XD

I’m surprised no one is talking about the severe bullying that went on behind the scene

Neds Declassified School Survival Guide NEEDS to be on this list

I really wanna watch the entire series again. This was one show I used to watch every day as a kid

why zoey101 is my favorite show on nickeloden •theres no laughing track •the main character isnt annoying •serious situations look better acted because as stated before, theres no laughing track. •they get new characters often, to twist up the show

Can’t wait for him to do Big Time Rush. Such a great show😂

I’ve only now just realized how annoying her voice really is

this was my absolute favorite show when i was younger and i was so sad when they stopped airing new episodes. it will forever hold a dear place in my heart but im scared to watch it again bc i know the acting and the plot would kill it for me as an adult

“Let’s get this party started yo” Me: (smashes my face into my pillow and screams)

Do Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide

Alex: tell me what other tv show or movie I should do me: *begins typing* Alex: besides kissing booth 2 me: *deletes comment*

This show was and still is my comfort show. No matter where I am in life, I just put this on and pretend I’m at PCA. Except now it would be for graduate school. It’s just such a beautiful campus, and I wish I had the money to live in and attend a place like that.

Zoey 101 is probably the most normal Nickelodeon show Alex has ever cover in his channel, it soo normal that it feels wrong that it was aired in the same channel as things like Victorious, the Fred Show or Sam and Cat (the Nickelodeon equivalent of M Night Syamalan's _Glass_ )

Even though all our child hood shows might have been *dumb* and/or *weird* the theme songs would *ALWAYS* hit different

Zoey 101: * exists * Me: I have a feeling that this show is about a girl named Zoey....

Hi, this channel is one of my faves, always makes me laugh. Just wanted to say the backgrounds in the animated parts look great, like they took some time

JLS was so much cuter before the evil started seeping out from the inside and took over her face!

Girl: I can’t pee in a urinal Alex: You just got to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Me waiting for “the kissing booth 2 is dumb” 👁👄👁

This video has me laughing my ass off! The little animations and the dialogue narration! Hilarious!!! The little guy sitting in a chair with popcorn watching clips from the show was a funny touch!

Fun Fact: Nicole was in an episode of The Walking Dead
