Go To

When his blog is taken down from the Slap, the group encourage Robbie to write about something else, but are less than happy when he starts sharing embarrassing and untrue things about them. At the same time, Cat develops a shopping addiction.

Tropes:

  • An Aesop:
    • It's okay if you want just a little recognition, but when talking about other people, respect/understand their boundaries and don't take their feelings for granted.
    • It's not worth exposing and making up phony stories about someone just for the sake of fame; said target of harassment will get fed up and likely deliver karma to you.
  • Armor-Piercing Question: Tori ask Robbie this after posting a video about her squeezing her pimple.
    Tori: Is being popular that important to you?
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Having gotten fed up with Robbie posting embarrassing and untrue stories about them on the Slap, Tori, Jade, Beck and Andre take embarrassing photos of him and threaten to post them online unless he stops.
  • Collector of the Strange: Sinjin apparently collects teeth from relatives of U.S. Presidents. Even when Robbie ask if Sinjin steals famous teeth, the gang tills their heads, showing they slightly agree with this point.
    Robbie: Does Sinjin steal famous teeth? Probably.
  • Cooking Show: After the gang blackmails him into posting no more embarrassing stories about them, Robbie turns his Slap blog into one of these for low fat recipes.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Cat was initially oblivious to Robbie posting embarrassing and untrue conspiracies on Robbarazzi. However, at lunch, she's seen glaring daggers at Robbie along with the others when she becomes a target of Robbarazzi as well.
  • Hypocrite: Robbie tells his friends that they embarrass themselves in his blogs, when he's the one embarrassing them and allowing his Slap apprentices to spy on them. Tori and the others call him out for it, to no avail.
  • I Need to Go Iron My Dog: When Robbie asks if the group think his blog on the Slap is boring...
    Beck: Hey look! It's that guy over there!
    Cat: It is that guy!
    Andre: Wait up, guy! (Andre, Beck, Cat and Jade all leave)
  • Innocently Insensitive: Averted. Robbie knows his blog is embarrassing his friends, and never puts their feelings to heart at all, until he gets the short end of the stick.
  • It's All About Me: Robbie remorselessly embarrasses his friends just to make himself more popular. Eventually, he gets his just desserts when they threaten to show photos of him naked.
  • Lack of Empathy: Robbie has no remorse embarrassing his own friends and making up false stories to make them laughing stocks and himself more popular. He's completely dumbfounded of why they would throw his backpack and waste his lunch in disdain and even shrugs them off when they tell him how they feel, believing they're just embarrassing themselves when it's vice versa.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Being fed up by Robbie's blog making them laughing stocks, Tori and the others decide to make Robbie the laughing stock by photographing him naked in front of the whole school and teach him a lesson.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Cat, surprisingly. After Beck rips up the catalogue she's addicted to buying stuff from, she cons Sinjin into believing she's interested in her so she can use his credit card to buy more stuff.
  • Naked People Are Funny: The group's revenge on Robbie involves Andre and Beck stealing his clothes while Jade and Tori take photos and video of him running around Hollywood Arts only wearing a towel.
  • Pet the Dog: While he still uses her for his Robarazzis, Robbie never actually says anything untrue about Cat. Just that she has an unhealthy addiction to Sky Store and that her hair color isn't natural, both of which are shown to be 100% true note .
  • Take That!: The Roberazzi blog is a not so subtle one levied at TMZ.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Robbie. He decides to turn his Slap post into Robbarazzi, a blog dedicated to embarrassing his own friends and conspiring untrue stories about them, intentionally making them laughing stocks in Hollywood Arts. Tori and the others call him out for his disrespectful attitude and demand he stops embarrassing them for his own reputation or they'll destroy his friendship with him, but he coldly and sternly refuses (adding that he's okay with destroying his friendship with them to make new "friends" in the Slap). The others decide that enough is enough; they take matters into their own hands by photographing Robbie naked in front of their classmates.
    Tori: Robbie, you're not gonna have any friends left if you keep exploiting us for your dumb blog.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Tori, Jade, Beck and Andre are not happy at Robbie posting embarrassing and untrue news stories about them for the sake of views on his blog. As they tell him that they don't want to be friends with him until he stops, he says that others wants to be his friends, showing that he still misses the point about respecting other people's boundaries.
