A couple things to note about this video: I was supposed to talk about a couple other things in regards to the group but I edited the second half of the video while sick and I really just wanted to get the video out. They're really small points though so I'm gonna put em in here 1. Jacque dated Justin Bieber a couple years after School Gyrls dropped and they met on the set of this movie. 2. They made a sequel but it's basically lost media. Thankfully.

their movie was so cheesy but i'm a firm believer that that era of tween corny awkward media is necessary and good. it's a shame tweens these days won't get that

loved school girls as a kid. Mandy (the blond one) opened a PO box so i mailed her a fan note. she sent back a signed picture and bracelet with her name 😭

"Nick Cannon original film" that explains it all

Imagine your group failing so hard that the dude who has a channel dedicated to knowing things from your network doesn't know you.

this group was so obscure but they had genuine bops and it’s crazy how many big celebs at the time were in the first movie

This was HER's acting debut! Also I always assumed HER was her initials, guess not.

That roast was absolutely insane, like. "Why don't you do yourself a favor and leave like your father did" That is NOT normal bullying that girl is a straight up sociopath!

Their songs ACTUALLY slap, and i wish they didn’t flop because they had so much talent and potential to actually become a legit pop girl group

and that soundtrack still SLAPS

I bet the director just said to the bully "Just call her names and make sure to emphasise the fact she was broke" and the actress took that shit too seriously 17:20

I think the dialogue between the Gyrls is not necessarily bad, I mean not the best, but it could be at least fine if Nick Cannon didn't try to force a Blaccent on people who clearly don't speak it. Gosh it's so insensitive to my ears.

I remember when School Gyrls came out and I ate that ish up. Then they had that Christmas sequel that premiered the end of 2010 and like Mr.Nostalgia said it’s lost media. I haven’t seen that movie since 2011 or 2012 because they use to play reruns of it during the holiday season. Also, that is the little sister from Just Jordan who’s the headmasters daughter 🤣💜

The asian girl getting roasted caught me so off guard 💀

I found out about this group when I first heard that K-Pop girl group Wonder Girls were going to star in a Nickelodeon movie with a rival girl group called School Gyrls. Like a lot of K-Pop fans did, I immediately searched up School Gyrls but instead of judging them I was immediately won over when I saw their video for "Something Like A Party." To this day, is probably one of my Top 10 most played songs in my entire music library

School Gyrls walked so Lemonade Mouth could run

I actually went to school with Mandy (the blonde one). We had a couple classes together and I'd sometimes talk to her during breaks or lunch both 8th grade and freshman year. She was always really nice. Lol, I even remember her telling a substitute teacher that she was leaving early one day for something and that she was "dropping out of school anyway". This was a year before this aired. I'd hear or see her on occasion when she was back in town. She'd bring up any new songs that were coming out, which I actually listened to and liked but I know other people got annoyed with her promoting it lol. Still, much love to her. Thanks for being kind back then

The mindless behavior background music is deeply appreciated

Fun fact: popularkpop group Wonder Girls back in the day had their own Nickelodeon movie. The School Gyrls appeared in the movie. Not only that, but they made a song together. Thus, not only is legendary kpop group Wonder Girls canonical to the School Gyrls lore, but the School Gyrls, which are pretty much unknown, are part of their discography. Not to mention, if you watch the music video for their collab song, you can see some of the School Gyrls are different. So yeah, that’s something.

The funny part was how you said that it was kinda mean for them to photoshop the head cheerleader as fat when the cheerleader berated Mo' money's family situation (abandonment from her father), told her she smelled, took her phone, and called her trash. She kinda deserved it ngl lol

the rise of interest in the west of boybands and girl groups in the late 2000s to early 2010s is such a fascinating period

The "now that's DANCING" scene if the most hilarious thing I've seen in quite some time. Who edited that? Why did they do what they did? I love it.

This is SUCH a deep cut, ALL OF IT. 😭 I was waiting for you to cover this. I know you said the sequel was basically lost media, but I remember it so vividly. “Going To The Mall” is still a banger to this day.

The school gryls had me in a choke hold when I was little I swear😭and I felt so crushed when they like re booted them especially in the wonder girls movie

This man literally has the hardest intro in existence

Monica is a successful choreographer and a college graduate & married. Amanda is a well known radio host on siriusXM and is expecting a child Jacque is a college graduate and is a influencer. So they didn’t fail at life but I mean what else came on tv back in 2008

is there any chance you could make a video on I'm in the Band? I just think it's interesting that they made a kids's show about a rock band filled with 40 year olds and no one seems to ever mention it when talking about weird or forgoten disney shows

I seriously doubt Nickelodeon had any faith in a majority of their made for TV movies (not just this particular one), and I could see why. It's just simply not their M.O., most of what they air are TV shows and it's been like that for years. It's only once in a blue moon that Nick ever even airs movies *at all* on the network

I loved School Gyrls when I was a kid omg. I still listen to Something Like A Party religiously (I even learned the dance for the contest they were holding all those years ago lol) and sometimes I'll randomly sing the Going to the Mall song from the Christmas movie they did. On a related note, does anyone remember when the K-Pop group Wonder Girls had their own Nick movie (might have gotten plopped onto TeenNick but idr)? I thought it was a fever dream tbh because the day it aired I had practice and couldn't watch it and I think they just never aired it again 💀, but I was relieved when clips of it (mainly the goofy af parts involving their company's founder J. Y. Park - who's currently having another go at US expansion (well after the Wonder Girls attempt didn't exactly work out) with a competition show A2K btw) started going semi-viral on K-Pop spam page Instagram and reaffirmed my memories of its existence 😌 They even have a song with School Gyrls called The DJ Is Mine, a whole Brandy x Monica-type beat haha. Long comment but yeah, just memories and whatnot. Love your videos 🤗

The Claire girl is played by Jessica Jarrell who was also teen singer at the time. Man I miss that era. The headmistress is also played by the r&b singer Angie Stone. There were so many “famous” people in this movie.

School Gyrls has a sequel called “A Very School Gyrls Holla-Day” It was a Christmas special that introduced 2 new members. I saw School Gyrls as it aired but missed out on the Christmas special so for awhile I thought I imagined the 2nd movie until I googled it

I loved School Gyrls when I was younger, but almost no one has evwr heard of it. I used to listen to their first album on repeat. Looking back though, it's no shock why it failed 😅

Speaking of obscure musical acts, There's a pop rock band called Allstar Weekend that were contestants for Radio Disney's N.B.T., Performed on an episode of Sunny with a Chance, and just dipped. They had a solid fanbase, and some good songs, but I haven't seen or heard anyone mention them.

What a deep cut memory. A group I forgot I remembered

At least they somewhat succeeded with Make it pop years later. I was super obsessed with it, but have never heard of this…

I'm not convinced that's not Whoa Vicky in a past life.

Looking forward to more of these obscure programs, because beforehand it feels like I’m one of the only people who remembers damn near everything that aired of these networks

I actually watched them in 2010 😂😂😂 Something Like A Party was a banger

You probably missed out on School Gyrls because Nick Cannon was the host of TeenNick at the time and since this was his project all of the ads and promotion went to the TeenNick channel, not the main Nick channel. Like TeenNick made the School Gyrls seem like a bigger deal than they were to my kid brain. It's the same with the movie they made for the kpop group Wonder Girls, most of the promo was on TeenNick instead of the main Nick channel.

omg I used to love them and had a crush on the blonde one. them being a movie with the kpop group the wonder girls is still the weirdest crossover to me. something about him will always be on my playlist.

gonna apply to be a babysitter for one of nick cannons kids so i can ask him why he wrote the black characters like that💀

This movie is probably one of the worst examples of somebody’s parent trying to make something “cool for the kids”. It tries so hard to do that, but in the most cringeworthy way possible. All tho their song Something Like a Party is an absolute bop.

As someone who has never seen or heard about this movie before, the line “leave like your father did” is insane for something aimed towards kids 💀

I always thought school gyrls was a bigger event when I was a kid I was obsessed and then I grew up and found no one ever knows what I’m talking about 😭

when school gyrls hit my elementary school friend group was obsessed!!! we learned the dance, the songs, everyone picked a member 😂😂 good times

I remember random shows Nick used to re-run a lot on the channel like House of Anubis and Every Witch Way.

I had a younger friend who loved this, and I hadn't ever seen it at the time. But I cannot deny that Something Like a Party absolutely fucking SLAPS and I still listen to it to this day.

So one of the schoolmaster's children and H.E.R. are the same person??? What??? I'd give this a 3/10 at best. In hindsight, it was a bit cringe, yet at some spots it was emotionally traumatic.

You woke up a deeeeeeppppp memory today. The black creepy shinning twins did it all at once 😂

Why did youtube think the 1976 movie Carrie made sense to promote under this video lmao

I always forget how good your intro is.

The name School Gyrls was vaguely familiar to me and I could not think of why. I remembered they were in this Kpop video called the "The DJ is Mine" by the Wonder Girls. The song is still a banger. I honestly had no idea where they came from and only knew they had something to do with Nick Cannon. Honestly thank you for the video

FINALLY someone makes a video on this. I swear no one ever knows these movies!!

I really want to see you do a video about Supah Ninjas or The Troop, they're some of my favorite forgotten Nick sitcoms. Both are very underappreciated

Nah you really are Mr Nostalgia cus I deleted so many things from my memory and you brought them back. I never even HEARD of School Gyrls cus I was more of a Disney girly I recognized quality from YOUNG 💅🏽 but this movie is a hot mess not even you remember that. I just feel like Nick was always subpar to Disney. Side note when did they ever air Drumline on that Nickelodeon ? Nick Cannon really was tryna carry that whole channel on his back 😭😭😭

I love a flop music act (to the point where I can name several Kristinia Debarge songs) and even I had never heard of this group. What a fail on Nick and Nickelodeon’s part.

I remember when nickelodeon (specifically teen nick) had that era where Nick Cannon was just EVERYWHERE. My sisters and I watched the premiere of the movie and the christmas “holla-day” special but then after that, I don’t think they ever replayed then as much to the point where I thought I imagined the whole thing. School Gyrls was fun at the time, def nothing groundbreaking, but they had the potential to be something great imo.

i’m so glad you made this video. no one ever remembers this when i talk about it, even the person who made me watch it in the first place. i honestly began to think i dreamt it for a few years until i rewatched the wonder girls video for the DJ is mine and saw the school gyrls there 😭 EDIT: Mandy and Jacque are NOT in the music video at all😭 apparently the group line up changed a few times, and by the time they collabed with the wonder girls the only members featured were Monica, and two newer* members Natalie and Briana

Never heard of this movie but I’m glad someone talked about how weird Nick movies can get.

Holy shit I completely forgot about this movie but as soon as you showed the trailer for the movie I instantly remembered it 😭💕 I also remember loving Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging so much that I bought the movie for my iPod nano 😂

there was this show on teen nick and it was kind of like bad girls club but the clean version it was called queen bees it had one season it was a mess and there was this other show i believe was on there to it was called miracles boys and it was also cancelled after 1 season but i liked it very underrated but i miss when teen nick had its own shows like degrassi and teen nick top 10 and a bunch of teen drama shows and now its just channel where they show re runs all day its pretty sad

I straight up might rewrite this movie one day, because imagine if the school was still very strict to the point of stifling people's creativity, but similar to the Ariel's Beginning movie, there's an underground club kind of thing where people can perform and stuff, and that's where the stunt party/talent show is held every year. And then Bambi, who apparently has an issue with her boyfriend being a musician, goes out of her way to get the stunt party and the club shut down, so now, the School Gyrls decide they're going to do something so the party can still happen, whether that be finding a new venue, getting the students who want to be able to express themselves to protest against the school in some way, or really anything else. Idk, there's ways you can go with this story that I think would be fun to work with.

“I’m not just a girl” was my ringtone FOREVER and I don’t even remember liking this movie

There was also a Christmas special, and Nick Cannon produced a movie for the Kpop group Wonder Girls which featured the School Gyrls as their rivals. Admittedly, the Wonder Girls movie had their best music. There were also some line up changes. The group added rapper Sade and a singer, Lauren for the Christmas movie. Nick Cannon tried to push them as a legitimate music group for a bit, but Mandy and Jacqui left and were replaced by Natalie and Rae. The Wonder Girls movie was their last chance for relevance, but it failed. Rae left the group, leaving them as a quartet. They tried to rebrand as "4ever," but they broke up before any music was released with their new name.

HOLY SHIIIIIITTTT MUSIC CHOICE!!!! I LOVED BROWSING THOSE CHANNELS WAY BACK WHEN

omg no one ever remembers them when i bring them up 😭 they still got bops too!

One of the worst movies, but one of your best videos. It felt really cool that your review was like your first impression instead of something you already knew more about

The Little Facts That I Can Remember Is That Monica Also Came From A Show Called Jammx Kids With Alison Stoner. They Even Made A Music Video With Shaq. It Should Be On KZfaq Somewhere Cause I Watched That Show As A Kid. That Girl That Helped Them With The Paper,Her Name Is Jessica Jarrell Who Also Has A Song With Justin Bieber (Some Might Already Know What That Song Is) But She Has A Couple Songs I Like From Her Too.

I've been looking for the song "Shine On" for years and never found it. Not even on KZfaq. Thank you for mentioning it. I finally listened to it.

The best thing about this movie is the “no farting” rule I saw at 15:25 I’d get expelled on my first day

Tell me im not the only one that thought Jackie was woah Vicky 🤣😭

I remember seeing them at the Crenshaw mall doing a Christmas music video in the middle of the summer when I was 12. I thought it was so weird they chose to film at a hood mall

music is so powerful, I almost forgot about this group but as soon as their songs played I deadass remembered the lyrics and the promo for the movie. I also remember kids in school around that time saying that Nick Cannon owned Nickelodeon lmfaoooooooooo

Nickelodeon now has another girl group in the Good NEWZ Girls, which they formed in late 2021.

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on KZfaq. Im glad im not the only one who remembers obscure ass TV shows and movies

i loved school gyrls when i was in middle school omg. their song party bag was always playing on my mp3 player. and their movie crossover with the wonder girls was also one of my first exposures to kpop before i even knew what kpop was lol

"Jackie is more or less a hot Cheeto girl" 💀💀💀

I actually remember School Gyrls so it is bold of you to assume that I would forget Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging. Ultraviolet is still a bop.

Mr.5 thousand children 💀💀💀

I still listen to school girls today and definitely feel like only a select few remember them lol. I remember staying up late just to catch the movies twice cause it legit never played again

This man said does anyone remember anges thongs and perfect snogging like its not iconic and didn't introduce use to Aaron Taylor Johnson

I wanted to be these girls so bad, they had really high potential, the movie itself is pure nostalgia I had to click this video so fast lol

My parents never had cable so I wasn't an avid Nickelodeon/Disney watcher, but funny enough, I found out about School Gyrls through spotify. Their song "Detention" was just so fun to listen to and very reminiscent of the time they debuted. I was so sad they only had a couple songs out because I genuinely loved their sound.

I loved the School Gyrls. I saw them perform at a mall and met Nick Canon. Then they started adding random girls that did not fit the vibe. Then they changed their name and style which annoyed me and I lost interest Edit: if you into my channel, I have a video of the school gyrls performing the day I saw them. It’s old and an awful angle but it’s there lol

19:59 omg I forgot about Mad Style 😭😭 I wanted those clothes so bad (also I love that you include these nostalgic commercial breaks!)

Thank you so much for this upload! I've been waiting for this! You should do a video about Dance On Sunset soon.

The only time I ever heard of School Gyrls was when they did a crossover with Archie from Archie Comics. And at that time, I understood it that the group got their start on America’s Got Talent, and only until now I was made aware of this movie.

I remember as a kid i thought the main girl in "Angus, Thongs, and perfect snogging" was named "Angus Thong" because i never actually saw the movie lmao.

the zeke and luther mentions in every video is my favorite running gag on this channel

I had that loft/bunk in their dorm. It's from Ikea, if you also want it. It is also VERY cheap

OMG THEY SANG THAT SONG?! I loved it as a kid but didnt even know it was from a nickelodeon girl group! Thought it was the paradiso girl or something

There's nothing more late 2000's than spelling Girls with a Y Also 18:29 EwwTube has Vidoes instead of Videos

I, too, have no memory of this film existing! Thanks for making the sacrifice and watching it for us!

OH MY GOD YOU JUST UNLOCKED AN ACTUAL OBSCURE MEMORY 😂 like I don’t remember the actual movie at all bc I had a lot of trauma that year. But I remember it existing

23:35 I used to listen to music through the Music Choice channels all the time so yes, I remember Kidz Only 😂

Hey bro, you gotta talk about the other 2 movies now. 👀 You have once again took me down memory lane! I actually do remember watching this movie the night it premiered. Now looking back, Lord this movie is garbage... But, something I do remember is my sister and I being extremely obsessed with the "Something like a Party" song at the time. That was fire! Anyway, excellent video!

And then Disney quickly came out with Lemonade Mouth which probably also erased this from collective memory

I was such a hardcore fan of these girls and had their first album in physical. The funny thing about this group is the line up changes were fucking insane. Literally they added two girls in the second movie... who do not sing in any of the songs minus 1. Then Mandy and Jacque left. They collabed for another movie with Wonder girls but they added two more members who were back up members. Then a girl left after the Wonder Girls movie and then they tried to rebrand to FOREVER and then disbanded before the single could come out bc they lost Monica who was the only one from debut who stayed till the very end. But the music was AMAZING

i only know who these girls are thanks to that awful nickelodeon wonder girls movie where they are racist to the wonder girls and then at the end the asian member says "hey guys let's be nice to them, don't forget i'm filipino 💁🏻‍♀️" lol

Can you please review The Naked Brothers Band? For such a long time I thought it was a show I made up in my head as a child 😅
