** Discussed in further detail in the later videos of the Nickelodeon miniseries. Intentional or otherwise, the parallels between many aspects of ''iCarly'' and ''Sam & Cat'' with Jennette [=McCurdy=]'s troubled life make the shows very difficult for Quinton to watch in the present day. He sees Sam's [[NeverGetsFat binge-eating while maintaining a very slim figure]] as a very cruel juxtaposition to Jennette's actual eating disorders, if not a justification for them, and both Sam's negligent mother and Freddie's boundary-disrespecting mother have disturbing similarities to Jennette's own mother. Furthermore, the allegations of emotional and sexual abuse against the casts by Dan Schneider and others would quickly sour him on these shows, though he ultimately avoided disavowing them entirely because the first few ''iCarly'' seasons were genuinely good by his standards.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: [[invoked]] Quinton suggests that Dan Schneider leveraged his experience as a sitcom actor to create effective sitcom episodes without having formally studied the craft. At times, this would translate to Schneider playing with plots and tropes to mixed effects, but Quinton illustrates several instances where he simply borrowed ''Series/HeadOfTheClass'' plots and played them straight with his own characters.

Ariana Grande, when playing Cat, would dye her hair cupcake red, but outside of recordings, she'd focus on her music and dye her hair back to her normal color, leaving her hair damaged to constant bleaching and dying. At some point, however, Ariana dyed her hair back to her natural color and never painted it red again, using a wig to perform as Cat. He regards this as the moment that Ariana's focus truly, completely shifted from being a character actor that does music outside of it, to primarily being a musician who also does acting.

He is therefore confused when he reveals early in ''The Scandal of Sam & Cat'' that when Ariana was grafted onto what became ''Sam & Cat'', she was offered the chance to sing in that show but declined.
** UndesirablePrize: However, it becomes clear when Quinton discusses Ariana's early music career later in ''Scandal'' that singing in ''Sam & Cat'' would likely have been against her better interests; as demonstrated by the single, "Put Your Hearts Up", Nickelodeon seemingly wanted Ariana to sing in-character as Cat Valentine rather than play to her strengths. If Nick had wanted to leverage Ariana's popularity as a singer, Quinton suggests that a ''Series/HannahMontana'' rip-off where she essentially plays herself would have been a better move.

** Right before the WhamShot below, Quinton discusses how the end of ''Sam & Cat'' marked the end of the Nickelodeon Sitcom Universe as it existed in the ''iCarly'' era, a sensical sitcom world, which then transitioned into the more fantastical one portrayed in shows like ''Henry Danger''. However, he also mentions ''another'' way in which the show marked as an end to the era, becoming the first time [[Creator/DanSchneider a specific person]] is mentioned by name in the entire mini-series.

* DamnedByFaintPraise: When discussing the second Fred Figglehorn movie: "This movie has one of those covers from the time, where it's like, if you move it a little bit, the image changes. So one of the images is Fred looking scared and one of the images is Fred as a vampire. So when you do this (''wiggles the case'') it's like it keeps changing between Fred being scared and Fred being a vampire. This is the most interesting thing about the movie."
