The Bad Roommate is the 9th episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 56th overall.

Plot[]

When Kojeezy, a famous songwriter, offers to buy a song from any student of Hollywood Arts, Tori and André try to write one. Since André is fed up with living with his grandmother, he calls Tori for help. When a frustrated André moves into the Vega house so he can concentrate on his music, he annoys Tori. The next day, she is sleeping on the stairs, and Jade wakes her up by blowing a whistle in her ear. The best friends quickly realize that they don't make the best roommates. Tori makes André leave, which leads them to constantly argue at school. After Kojeezy shows his dislike for Tori's first song, she claims to have a new one needing lyrics. This song, however, steals the original music to André's song. Eventually, the two best friends stop their argument and work together to finish the song. However, they fail due to Kojeezy declining when the song fails the baby test.

Subplot[]

Vlcsnap-2013-01-06-09h36m12s244

Jade discovers that a satellite picture of Hollywood Arts shows her seemingly picking her nose on PearMaps, so she makes Beck, Cat, and Robbie not tell anyone about it, but due to Cat tweeting everyone to "not look", everyone at Hollywood Arts sees the picture. Sinjin removes the picture, and PearMaps plans on taking another. Jade makes Cat eat a bowl of bush peas as punishment for embarrassing her and dresses well for the picture, hoping no one would remember the previous one. Unfortunately, a few seconds before the picture is taken, Robbie, trying to escape from a bee, accidentally trips on his bag and falls on Jade, causing the picture to look like Robbie is kissing Jade, much to her dismay.

  • It is revealed that André concentrates with his grandmother to compose songs.

  • Ending tagline: "I WAS SCRATCHING IT!" - Jade.
  • Rex was absent in this episode.
  • Justin Bieber was mentioned by Tori as André's Grandmother.
  • This is the second time Tori dressed and acted like someone else to help André, the first time was in Jade Gets Crushed. In this episode, Tori dressed up like André's grandmother, while in Jade Gets Crushed, she dressed up like Jade.
  • It's never shown if Robbie and Jade actually kiss; as their position in the picture looks like they are much too far away from one another, and that it's only a matter of perception. However, Robbie's TheSlap update says their lips touched, making the most likely scenario that he brushed lips with her and is exaggerating. But if you zoom in on Robbie and Jade, you can see that both of their lips don't touch.

Goofs[]

  • Beck said the picture was taken a few months ago from space. However, a few months ago Jade's highlights were green and/or blue, not purple.
    • However, he could have meant either a month ago or a couple of months ago.
  • In Wi-Fi in the Sky, André explains to Tori that he was just visiting his grandma's house, implying that he does not live with her. But in this episode, André is clearly shown to live with his grandma.
    • A reason for this could be that his grandma needed more support and therefore had to live with André.
  • André said that the Vega family's pot pie was gone, but if you look closely, you can see one piece of it left. However, when Trina was licking the pie pan, the remaining piece disappears.
  • Jade could have easily sued PearMaps for invasion of privacy.
  • Cat tweeted, "It's not fun to be full of bush peas :(" but it can't be seen on her TheSlap page.
  • On the PearPad, Favorites is spelled "Favoites."
  • Near the end of the episodes there were some goofs:
    • When the picture was and before it was taken, the weather seemed to look cloudy but when the picture was taken, it seemed to look fine.
    • When Robbie fell on Jade she seemed that his hands were on Jade but when the picture was taken, he seemed to hold onto something without having time.

(Tori throws a pillow at him while he closes the door)


Cat: Why does me eating bush peas help?

Tori: Yes!
Teacher: Tori... Vega.
