The WEIRD World of Ned's Declassified

[@JordanFringe94]

Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your thoughts on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and if you'd actually like to see the show come back but for a more adult audience?

This show was my jam as a kid, it was wacky and goofy, in all of the best ways, and actually gave useful advice. It was definitely a live action cartoon.

[@chelseadelon9628]

I can’t say it was ever one of my favorites but I always enjoyed it

[@liamnehren1054]

I remember the episode where they basically just act out the symptoms of a lack of sleep while they get listed out. XD

[@zeroxlulu]

This was probably why, as a kid who only ever watched cartoons, Ned's was the only live action show that caught my attention and had me watching. Drake & Josh, iCarly, Disney live action shows? I would always change the channel lmao but not when it was Ned's.

[@AB-fx7tg]

Ned Declassified is so underrated. Even though Nick doesn't see the value in having a reboot, I love that Devon, Lindsey and Daniel decided to bet on themselves and start a podcast anyway. I have been seeing more channels talk about Ned's Declassified recently. I think the podcast is helping build the "Ned" brand and value up more. Maybe this podcast would actually help them get a reboot.

[@tenscar6131]

I hope God hears you!

[@KingNexusMOCs]

A reboot would be lame. A revival would be awesome tho.

[@AB-fx7tg]

@@KingNexusMOCs yeaaaa I use the words reboot/revival interchangeably. I know they are different though...I definitely want an adult declassified that focuses on Ned, Moze and Cookie has adults. I don't want the show to be about the next generation of kids.

[@surfingbrrrd]

@@AB-fx7tgyeah it could be set at like a community college or something

[@aaronfelton9508]

I think the problem is that any show they'd try to launch now with the same cast either would not work, or would not work on Nickelodeon. Who is pretty awful about holding on to copyrights they'll never use again.

[@totenbrunk]

It’s weird that this show was not appreciated by Nickelodeon, I loved it when it was on and I’m so glad it had a proper ending

[@thescroogemcduck]

It’s likely due to it not being a Schneider show. Schneider was Nickelodeon at the time and it still seems like Nickelodeon doesn’t want to do anything to upset big dan

I'm so happy you used the term "live action cartoon" There is no other way to explain it. It's sooooo good

[@spadinnerxylaphone2622]

I love that the Rumors episode included that some rumors could be fun, if they don't hurt anybody; like the "if you flush all the toilets the school will jump" one. It was very nuanced and got child me to open my mind a bit.

[@Zzz2x]

One of my fav episodes lol so silly

[@Wawagirl17]

"Einstein would flush. that. toilet!" So inspirational.

[@StefanoFierros]

it's basically the child version of conspiracy theories, as long as they're not hurting anybody it's fine, but the moment you go full henry ford it's the moment to say stop my personal favorite is that australia doesn't exist.

[@Just_Kumoki]

Something I really apreciated about this show is that unlike other shows at the time (*cough cough- Zoey 101) Most of the times the main characters didn't "Win" or had they plans go perfectly, like in the daydreaming episode, even tho Ned answered the riddle right, when he arrived to the cafeteria he was the only one who didn't get pizza. It really helped and teached kids that most of the times "winning everytime" or having everything come your way isn't a realistic turn of events.

[@j-bob_oreo]

teached ? taught

[@RanterInShades]

My favorite moment on Ned's Declassified was in the music class episode when Ned says he wants to rock like the Foo Fighters, Incubus... and Everclear, and the music teacher says "Never heard of them". The crazy thing was that the music teacher was actually played by the lead singer of Everclear, and the song he performs about wanting to be a rockstar is actually a song BY Everclear (my favorite song of theirs lol). I'm not even the biggest fan of Everclear, but this was such a cool thing to learn about and helped me to really respect them.

[@Lechuga1815]

That's my favorite episode, while I never became a rockstar. I definitely remember that episode for teaching me about how even the basics and fundamentals are important for every activity you do. And it also gave me a lasting perspective on practice vs talent. Also, It was pretty cool when I realized it was the lead singer from Everclear. Although, it was pretty Everclear that he wasn't a normal actor from the beginning.

[@Varooooooom]

As someone who enjoys clubbing with friends, Ned’s advice of “navigate the dance floor by DANCING, not walking” has actually been stupid effective. God, this was my favorite show on Nickelodeon back then.

[@aladin0153]

You just unlocked a core memory of mine. I have done this for as long as I can remember and now I know where I first heard it.

[@MajorINCVideo]

Omg I always use this and yupppp it works like butter on toast

[@Avatarbee]

I would absolutely watch a adult survival guide.

[@trinaq]

The zany and colourful characters really helped to make this show memorable. For instance, I never realised that Coconut Head was wearing a wig, I thought that was his actual hair! 😂

[@dawnboyer3190]

I remember one of the bloopers they’d show at the end credits was his wig getting knocked off and it was crazy to see him just standing there in a wig cap 🤣

[@boopmcgoo]

[@giovanniorellana2200]

Ned's Declassified is like a live action cartoon! It's over the top with it's humor at just the right level!

[@trinaq]

Yes, my consensus exactly! While it could be overally goofy at times, it still had a lot of heart, and the advice was actually really useful.

[@AdamOBrien29]

You basically just parroted what Fringe said in the first minute, highly original

[@legit-centaur9048]

You're just spouting EXACTLY what was in the video..... why?

[@SlapstickGenius23]

I watched it when I was young.

[@TayoEXE]

Ned's Declassified Adulthood Survival Guide really does make a lot of sense. If kids thought middle school was rough, I think we who grew up with it can equally say how difficult adulthood can and has been to navigate.

[@scorpioneldar]

I would watch the heck out of that show

[@EyeZayUhArt]

The icarly reboot got pretty good reception. I wonder if theyre planning anymore (adult) reboots. That would be awesome to see this idea

[@kevinrosario2729]

I can see them making a sequel with Ned, Moze, and Cookie being in their mid to late 20s, figuring out adult life.

[@FumblsTheSniper]

Just talking about taxes and workplace politics.

[@chicknugs]

I could use a survival guide for adult life right about now

[@Aukejorrit]

This show meant so much as a kid. Even in the netherlands, where school is so much different from american school, this show helped me deal with a ton of formative lifr moments! Seeing ned change his point of view each episode thought me to grow and question things i saw as facts. Really incredible, while still being mostly entertaining and funny

[@princesspiranha]

The Dutch dub was pretty great too!

[@ihavenohometown]

same for me in Brazil 🥲

[@canadianstupidgirl2373]

The more people I meet from the Netherlands, the more I realize how similar of a country it is to Canada. At least relative to other countries, especially European countries.

[@dancingsun2]

13:35 Popping in here to say, one of my favorite things about BTR was the many sound effects used as opposed to a laugh track, it genuinely made things funnier. He was smart to incorporate sound effects into his shows

[@theanubisfan10]

God this show. I'm autistic and have ADHD and as a kid who was undiagnosed, this show was basically a guide for someone like me who did not understand any social cues. It really helped me understand the chaotic world of school life a bit more.

[@angrynoodletwentyfive6463]

One thing I liked about the show is that the teachers (even the strict ones) were shown to ultimately want what is best for the students rather than being portrayed as complete adversaries. The teachers might still at times be the conflict but they were always shown to have good intentions. I think shows that portray teachers as these evil beings that want to destroy all fun and fail everyone really do a disservice to both the students who see that and the teachers who teach them. So seeing a show that portrays teachers as not being somebody you want to be dealing with but who ultimately wants to see you succeed is much better than a lot of other shows I have seen.

[@ChillaxingJay]

This was absolutely my favorite live action Nick show for such a long time. I loved how it was a live action cartoon and it was absolutely hilarious. Not to mention relatable.

[@Ashley-xu1lk]

First of all, all three of the main actors grew up hot. But I think Daniel Lee Curtis had the best glow up when looking back at the show. It's like he grew into the man that Cookie imagined himself to be. I'm glad all three are doing well and that they are pushing for more Ned's Declassified content.

[@Victoria-qb3dr]

I just remembered the school picture episode where Cookie hold auditions for someone to pose as him for his school picture and that attractive guy walks 😂 “It’s like looking in a mirror but in my imagination 🥹” 🤣

[@PhantoRoyce]

I’m autistic af and this show really helped me in my early school life. Some of the things that might seem obvious to normal people were light bulbs to a guy like me. This show really helped me in social situations in school because I would just think “what would Ned do?”

[@Redrally]

The one moment in Ned's that made me laugh and applaud all at once is when Ned is told to his face that he would make a wonderful teacher. I just thought at the time: "I can see that" A Ned's Declassified Adulthood Survival Guide should have Ned being a teacher.

[@Geostelar4920]

Maybe hes working at Polk now alongside Mr.Sweeny and Right lol

[@wondersuave]

My knee jerk reaction to the idea of a reboot was "meh, no way. Would be unnecessary", then I heard it'd be an "adulthood" survival guide. Holy moly, why didn't they greenlight this? It's genius

[@fakename2956]

Yes! Ned’s was definitely one of my favorites as a kid it feels like a kids version of Scrubs/Community

[@genericexcuse4737]

This is one of those shows that always pops into my mind occasionally. Good memories.

[@DankMemeCenterX]

Live action cartoon is the perfect representation of the show. Offered great advice in disguise of the over the top episodes. Their podcast is a fun listen to see them reminiscence on the time spent on set and how they navigate post Ned's.

[@wontnotawill1356]

This was legitimately my favorite show when I was in like 5th grade and it really spoke to me as a weird kid who had problems with authority and ADD.

[@drewcifur3443]

I loved Ned's declassified as a kid and me and my wife are most of the way through watching the walking dead. You pointing out that Susie Crabgrass is Rosita blew my mind.

[@VongolaXZax]

This really was, one of my all time favorite live action Nick shows, definitely a gem of the early 2000s and with a banger opening theme song. It was relatable and wasn't afraid to be itself, the show was a good kind of "different". Something modern shows always miss.

[@karmaslyrics]

Ned and moze getting together was everything for me. I loved this show and the theme song was so awesome!

[@rwbyab7423]

​@@pleaseshutup7053 relevant username But I think it's good to show that the best built relationships can come from strong friendships. And even if it didn't end up working out, much like in real life for the actors, there's no harm in having tried.

[@SirMalorak]

Ned and Moze's Actors actually having been into each other IRL is just adorable. That makes me happy. I hope everyone enjoyed working on this show a lot, as I really loved this show whenever it came on! I might just give it a rewatch soon.

[@Emmj91]

I can distinctly remember using many tips from this show in school! Then learning from their mistakes and consequences helped me too. I quickly learned not use many tips from this show soon after. Lol.

[@1funneh1]

I think Ned’s Declassified was the first instance of a show where I as a kid could immediately tell the people behind it worked on other shows as well. With all the musical queues and the janitor literally just sounding like Timmy’s Dad

[@smartaleck05]

Bc he was lol played cosmo too

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

If there was a Ned’s declassified adults, it would be so cool if there was a tip about old friends/classmates or even ex’s and it’s someone who was also in Ned’s declassified. It would probably be fun if it was a complete unknown background character. Like, don’t you remember me, there I am, and it’s some little red ring in an iconic scene

[@christinadavies1925]

So happy to see people celebrate this show, it's one of those shows that holds up, and is just... good. Incredible craftsmanship, genuinely funny, and a good heart at its core. Wild to look back on it and realize just how much the people who made it cared, and the positive impact it actually had on kids. I hope all the people who helped bring this show to life know that they contributed something truly good to the world.

[@WhiteFox8792]

I was in middle school when this show was coming out, and I loved it. I remember actually using some of the tips. I related a lot to Ned, as they intended, but the amount of times I heard "He's a smart but lazy student", in my life was a common occurrence, and it's said about Ned a lot as well, so I really felt like we were in it together.

[@tashakon551]

This is the show I've watched the most of (besides ATLA) as an adult. I think it's because I was so excited going into 6th grade, and the 1st half the year went great, but the last half was terrible. My public school life never really recovered after that. :( This show represents the time when I thought I would be happy and with my friends forever.

[@spicylemon5579]

Ned declassified was one of the top tear shows I had growing up and for the time it was one of the only shows that fit into the middle school age to watch not too adult or to kiddy and having Ned speak directly to the camera about the tips made a more parrasoical relationship between the audience making it feel like he genuinely cared about making our time through school better. The tips genuinely did help for the beginning when it’s such a big change from elementary to middle and I feel like at least help me with understanding how to socialize better and give a better understanding of different social dynamics in young life

[@piagebot2943]

I think it’s incredible how Mr.Monroe was clearly gay and it wasn’t overly talked about. Like he just existed like every other character did. Made it feel a lot more normal to be an effeminate man at a time where it was (and still is honestly) seen as taboo. Not to mention Cookie’s crossdressing. Seeeeee yah :)

[@trayfor]

He could just be a straight effeminate man though, but who knows what the writers were thinking

I didn't realize it at the time, because I was likely the perfect age for this show, but having Ned's Guide was really a great set of lessons that led to a level of emotional maturity I don't think I would have without. And that leads all the way up into the modern day. I would love to see what they could do with that kind of creative forethought into something like a sitcom that would have more substance than Big Bang or Friends or something like that.

[@GerSanRiv]

You really are the channel to watch to get that nostalgia tingle. I never knew they dated in real life and here I am invested in an hour long video about a show I really enjoyed during my middle school.

[@Disney15ish]

One interesting thing to add is Scott Fellows attempted a new "Ned's" style show at Nickeldeon after Big Time Rush/Johnny Test in 2014 that only lasted one season "100 Things To Do Before High School": featuring a main trio of kids navigating middle school (a girl and 2 boys) with help from a school faculty member played by an actor known for a Nickeldeon animated show (Jack De Sena).

[@JustGoatyTTV]

I watch all your videos but only have commented on this one because I cannot begin to describe to you how important and influential this show was to my life. I recently rewatched it with my girlfriend, she had never seen it, and man can I tell you she loved it. Ned's, in my honest opinion, still holds up and I think is kinda essential to a pre-teens life. Thank you for this video

[@LittleMissLounge]

I can easily imagine a Ned's Declassified Adulting Survival Guide. It would be simultaneously zany and depressing, which would be pitch-perfect for the Millennials and Zoomers who watched the original. I can see the episode titles now: "The Gig Economy", "Taxes", "Work/Life Balance", "Health Insurance", "Landlords", "Monetizing Your Hobbies", "Impending Environmental Disaster", and "Coping with Never Being Able to Own Your Own Home." Edit: I typed this before the last 20 minutes. I'd watch this show over Zoey 102, TBH.

One moment that’s stuck out to me is where Coach Joy tells Mosley and another girl that they are still growing, and gives the example that kids who were shorter than her in middle school, ended up taller than her in high school. Although at the time I found it hard to believe that stopped growing in 7th grade and was the height she was.

[@Crimson_Fist]

Thinking about it now, this might have been my favorite Nick show. Period. It came out when I was in middle school, so I could relate pretty easily, especially to Cookie. I also had the biggest crush on Moze. I don't think a reboot needs to happen. If Nick doesn't want it, it's their loss.

I love how they did Lisa's Zimo glow up, it really is like that in Middle School sometimes you have liked that one person that you just expect to be really geeky looking for the rest of your life or whatever and then all of a sudden it's like bam totally different person and then yeah you have people like cookie who has just like this minor shift and thinks that they look great but really they just look the same just like slightly taller or something like that and then yeah you have that one person that it's like who is the new person because they look 100% different that does happen a lot in middle school I mean yeah it happens a lot more when you get the high school but sometimes there's that one person a few people really that it's like whoa who are you. I loved the show growing up it was one of my favorites every time it was on I would start watching.

[@KDuggz99]

I always felt this was so silly but he gave a great tip for setting your locker numbers ahead of time if you had a next class you had to get to fast and I used that until high school. Not to mention the other little tips about love, life, and friendship I still treasure. What a show. What a breakdown. Thanks Jordan!

[@mudkipjuice]

Man this show was so special to me as a kid. I had a uniquely terrible middle school experience and had to grow up very quickly. Watching this show as it aired at the same time provided a sense of normalcy and helped me actually feel like a kid when i shouldve been, instead of dealing with harsh adult issues. All the nickelodeon shows helped but this one in particular helped getting through what felt to me like the more insignificant hurdles of school much easier.

[@1BlueYoshi]

I have a lot of fond memories of this show. I would love an "adulthood survival guide" reboot, God knows I need it rn haha. I also had no idea the actors for Ned and Mose actually dated, or that all 3 of the main trio are still friends irl, that's really cute!

[@jeffnak5598]

Seeing them making fun of Drake Bell after the documentary and then trying to save face after the backlash ruined them for me. The show will always be nostalgic, but the main cast have become gross people.

[@ASloppyJoe]

Great show, and honestly looking back, pretty dang good acting. Not sure if that was due to direction or the actors, but either way, the kids they got in the cast really knock it out of the park.

[@taylorgabbey2371]

I love this show! Looking back, I realize the way that other people talked about Drake and Josh and iCarly was how I felt about this one: Ned's Declassified was my show! Also, watching this retrospective made me realize how much of a role model Moze was for me. She wasn't a girlie girl and didn't fit in with a lot of the uber feminine middle schoolers, but she still dressed in girls' clothes had female friends, like I did. And I love how she did woodshop and didn't care what other people thought about it, because she was damn good at it! It really did impact how I carried myself through middle school, especially since the show ended right before I finished 5th grade

[@SocietyOfDecency]

Thank you for covering this. Ned's Declassified was probably the one show I look back on the most from my childhood.

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

This is one of those shows that has survived the test of time. When they first advertised it, I didn't really care for it. I saw it as Nick trying to sort through the leftovers of what Disney had done with their live action shows. "Ned" felt like Nick's answer to "Even Stevens", in the same way that "Unfabulous" was their attempt to win over "Lizzie McGuire" fans. But they were just different enough to be their own things, and in my opinion, "Ned" is the better show by a mile.

[@debo10z]

Dude for a comedy, this show actually did put out some really useful tips for school. Like leaving your locker combo halfway done so you could just turn and open. Bringing extra clothes and siting by the door so you can avoid squeezing through a tiny door with 20 other people.

[@Ruesen]

I never got into Ned's Declassified as I was feeling too old for it when it came out. However, seeing the main trio still hanging out as friends warms my heart. I love that for them, and probably would get into the series if it did get rebooted just for that. Mainly because it sounds like it would become a passion project of sorts, and I wish that for them!

[@kpopfreak1359]

As someone who watched this show in Germany I always thought they were in highschool and not middle school! I think that was mostly because the German voice actors don't sound like middle schoolers (especially cookie in my opinion) and it always such a weird feeling to hear the actor's actual voice like I know they are young and you can tell they are young by looking at them but it's always fucking with my head

[@schris3]

The video most of us were waiting in your channel, I agree with everything you said, a fantastic show that I treasure deeply in my heart, indeed it still affects me to this day too, although I might not remember every single tip, but I still remember a good chunk of moments the characters passed through.

I was a bit too old for this show to have had the same impact on me that it did for you, but watching this, I realized that I remembered a lot more of this than I thought I did. And honestly, that’s a sign of a good show, I think, where even though it wasn’t for you personally, you could still enjoy some of it.

[@conradoramos9105]

If they decide to do a continuation of the show, I would like to think Ned becomes a guidance counselor so middle schoolers for a new generation. It would be a great passing of the torch and find a way to add More and Cookie

I always watched it with both a “I know this is a very over-the-top satirical way of portraying how a middle school is in America” but also a sort of “huh, so this is what it’s like” kind of mix - I grew up with various sitcoms and movies portraying middle and high schools and I always had a little dream of wanting to move to the states to experience it on my own, and I know this sounds weird, but this show sort of gave me a way to experience that without having to move of course. I could sort of pretend for a bit. Because Ned still gave pretty solid, albeit generic, advice that either I could kind of use or let me see that children in America could. And that gave me a small peek into what it was like to go to a middle school (but taken with a grain of salt as I knew this wasn’t a documentary😅) plus I always really liked that it was advices given from a kid to other kids, which made it more believable in some way, if that makes sense. Really loved this video man!

I grew up with this show, and no lie my middle school shop teacher: 1) had his classroom in a very dark and kinda scary basement And 2) was missing 3 fingers, which he claimed was specifically from the shop equipment And when I say I was TERRIFIED of shop after that, even though it ended up being a pretty cool class

The janitor Gordon was a gem this was one of my favorite shows as a kid I was just talking about this the other day and I was like man I wish Jordan Fringe would do a video on this and then bam today you post one LOL because I just found your channel like a week ago LOL immediately fell in love😂😂

Hmm, you know that if Ned's Declassified continued into High School then it would of gone a little something like this High School: It can be on Nickelodeon and or Teen Nick "or both at the same time" which would discuss a little more serious issues, problems, etc on how to tackle day to day life when in High School "yes, even friends and teachers there as well". College/University and or Tech and Trade School: It can be on Nick & Nite and would cover topics about the stress in being away from home in a very big college/university or home at a local college and dealing with even more problematic topics that High School and Middle School Survival Guides couldn't cover. I will note that they can do a College/University and or Tech and Trade school at any time since nobody is too young and or too old to attend further education "aka, College/University and Trade and Tech Schooling"

I loved this show as a kid. I didn’t even know much I watched it as a kid until I started listening to the Podcast rewatch and I remember each episode from the description that Devon, Lindsay and Daniel are talking about. TeenNick must have reran the show after it went off a lot or I caught new episodes without knowing it. It’s insane, and weirdly this show holds up.

The rivalry between Gordy and the Weasel (it was a ferret puppet) was Classic and absolutely hilarious 😂

I'm a grown man over 50 and love this show because it feels something like the school experience I had, only much funnier. For me it is almost as funny as any of the really worthwhile adult-oriented sitcoms that have come and gone. Plus, they did a smart thing and did not pump in canned laughter in post production, thank goodness! NDSSG is zany fun with lots of laughs and characters who we grow to care about ... all the characters, give or take a few. it's just too bad there had to be cast changes. Would've loved to have kept Jm J Bullock throughout the entire run, and I did not care for the Miami Vice wannabe guy at all but I suspect a lot of fans enjoyed his antics and facial expressions. Also, some very fun minor characters did not get nearly enough time, and we wanted more of them (I'm talking to you, School Newspaper Kid! You were awesome in this cast but they hardly ever seemed to include you, sadly.). Running gags were plentiful in the show, and my favorite might be how Jerry Crony (perfect last name there, hahah), Billy Loomer's flunky and pal, is secretly a member of the Sewing Club. Anyway, it's nice to see a deep dive into the show here. Although there was too much time dedicated in the video to reboot possibility, but that's just me being fussy. I don't pine for a new show about the characters, but I do understand that reboots are what many fans crave today. I just want to enjoy the original three seasons every so often, and soak in the cartoony goodness. Lastly: If anyone hasn't seen the show and wants to check it out, I believe it's on Paramount+, and the first two seasons are on Netflix (why they don't have all three seasons is a mystery).

Thanks for reminding me of this show man, i remember watching it all the time and it's probably one of the major things that helped me get through the hellhole that was my middle school. So many memories returning rn

[@frogurtcremebrulee5252]

Honestly the Zoey 101 reboot feels very strange considering that Jamie Lynn Spears and her dad treated her sister Britney horrible with the Free Britney Movement.

[@Vaennylla]

This was such an important show for me as a kid. I really hope they make a show like this again.

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

This and Unfabulous are Nickelodeon most underrated teen sitcom shows.

[@alijd6287]

I'm feeling like they didn't greenlight it because they knew that if they made the adult version of the show, it would be too powerful in our society. The big dogs wouldn't be able to keep us down if we actually had information about how to successfully live and manage our lives. Imagine how different our lives would be if we had the information to work on the things that keep us down!

I still hold this belief: Scott Fellows > Dan Schneider any day of the week, not even just them as humans, but BTR and Ned's are way better to watch back than Zoey and ICarly, as the jokes aren't funny now that I have a fully developed brain. I realized I was more interested in the premise of the shows (boarding school, online famous website/show) than the actual characters themselves. Probably the more "controversial" part of my take: Drake and Josh is still a good watch, but I cannot watch Dan Schneider shows because the actors themselves are not good people and are reminders of their bad deeds and Dan's. For example: Drake Bell, Jamie Lynn, Christopher Massey (for defending Kyle Massey's latest... Drake Bell activities), etc. His shows also had the ab•se of Alexa Nikolas (bullied by the Zoey 101 cast and Dan. She even later received an apology from the Britney Spears herself who confirmed Alexa's events) and Jennette McCurdy (it's detailed in her book what Dan did, but she was also gr••med by a writer on the show she had known since she was underage, who began dating her when she turned 18 *barf*). It's hard for me to see these shows filled with people who would turn out to be crap and/or people who were struggling with so much. It just makes me sad. While Ned's cast went through hardships after the ending of Ned's, the set itself wasn't harmful and you can tell they enjoyed their time on Ned's, it was the ending that messed them up

Dude, your time spent on creating videos and breaking things down is completely underrated; at least from the view of the metrics. Absolutely love your videos, regardless of length, they are amazing ❤ thank you for continuing to make these videos!

[@pizzakoe]

I always dubbed it 'Scrubs for kids'

[@philtkaswahl2124]

This show struck gold with its cast, main and supporting cast alike. Captured the zany "live action cartoon" aspect I liked about the Adventures of Pete & Pete, even if not quite as surrealistically existensial.

[@15725867905]

I wrote a high school handbook as a creative writing exercise in 2010 and reading it 15 years later I find that it still applies in a ways I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about. Ned’s was an awesome series and I think we all saw it as just entertainment, with maybe a handful of takeaways which actually proved useful.
