Bertram did NOT get paid enough.
That is such a good point!! LMAO... you make so many good, logical comments on this channel.👏
@@noorykorky5056 I don't think it's that big of a deal, but thank you very much! It's really sweet of you ;)
@@valzorzano9469 there was even a scene where Jessie and Bertram said they deserved Oscars for everytime they opened their paycheck
@@gwynzynoodles2553 Yep. Pretty iconic, ngl.
He lives in the house
They played so heavy on the Indian stereotypes even as a kid I’d know they were doing too much.
And Karan Brar doesn't even speak like that in real life. Like, I used to watch Lily Singh back when she only did RUclips, and she did a video about times when she would be forced to play with children even though she was an adult, and Karan made a guest appearance. This could be some internalized prejudice I had, but I was surprised to hear him not speak with a stereotypical Indian accent. So, yeah, Jessie was heavy on the racist stereotypes.
@@rebeccassweetmusic4632 that video was also when I realized Karan didn’t have that accent in real life. I was very surprised when I first saw the video
@@madisonmad2767 sameeee I was like....why didn’t they just let him speak like how he does?!?
Even as a kid, the portrayal of Ravi always made me feel uncomfortable.
As a half Indian, I agree.
I love how in the finale Bertram actually went against the mom and called out her poor parenting and Bertram even called out the kids on how ungrateful they are to Jessie showing how he actually loves them.
Precisely, that made me stand up and cheer, and showed that despite his laziness, Bertram really does care about the kids and Jessie.
Bertram was by far the best character.
@@thatonequeen8779 but that's not saying much
He was the best character and pretty much everyone agrees with me on that. Ravi the second and Mrs kipling as the third.
@@lesbiangoddess290 i didn't like him
the fact that karan brar (ravi’s actor) had to fake an accent for the role is just…no
I KNEW I FREAKING KNEW that that wasn't his voice. I hated that. 😡
i don’t understand why he was okay with that. he did it in diary of a wimpy kid too. at least he stopped doing the accent during bunkd
@@tuopsy he was a child actor. Nine times out of ten they are told and forced to do things without their opinions or feelings being taken into consideration because they’re simply actors doing what the director and sometimes their parents tell them to do. I’m pretty sure he being grown now obviously regrets it and thinks it’s unacceptable but as a child actor you don’t really have control over what you do and or say.
@@tuopsy actors, especially POC actors often have to just accept that they'll have to play into these stereotypes just for a role. And a big role like this? it probably didnt sit right with him but i'd still understand why he wouldnt miss out on an opportunity like this. adding onto the fact that he was a child, he either didnt fully understand the implication of it, or he was made to without anyone taking into consideration what he had to say.
@@tuopsy PoC actors often have to force themselves portray stereotyped versions of their race due to their directors. It's not uncommon to hear stories of black actors be told some variant of 'sound more black'
It's very fucked.
No, because let’s talk about it. None of the kids developed whatsoever. Emma stayed being snobby, selfish; and airheaded. Luke stayed being disgustingly unhygienic, misogynistic (although the show tried to portray him as a “Casanova”). And Zuri stayed being nosy, meddling, and cruel. Bertram had a right to hate the kids the way they constantly bullied, tormented, insulted, and belittled him for his job as a butler. I felt bad for Ravi in every single episode, because he was always the scapegoat. And I’m not even gonna talk about the sassy black girl stereotype they pushed on a CHILD in the show (which just screams misogynoir, or the nerdy Indian boy stereotype they gave Ravi, along with the fake accent and mocking of his culture on the show (which just screams racism and xenophobia). Morgan and Christina constantly neglected the kids, which caused them to be ungrateful troublemakers, and the fact that Jessie was a terrible nanny and barely disciplined them and constantly got them into dangerous situations didn’t help their awful personalities either. The show preache’s about the values of family and friendship while playing a laugh track over a sibling being mistreated. And finally, how could we forget Creepy Connie, a sexual assaulter and stalker of Luke. Whenever they played a laugh track over her being psychotic, it never sat right even for my child self. If Creepy Connie was a guy and Luke was a girl, everyone would absolutely despise and hate her character, but because she’s a girl, double standards come into play and it is taken with a grain of salt because “Men can’t be sexually assaulted and stalked, and if they are, it’s funny” *cue canned laugh track of Luke being chased around his own home by Creepy Connie who has a dart weapon*: And speaking of the double standards society has on sexual assault victims, I’m not even gonna get into Mrs. Chesterfield constantly sexually harassing Bertram, who is clearly uncomfortable with it.
😑 And people wonder why I hate Jessie now, when I used to love it as a child. Anyways, sorry for the rant, this show has been getting on my nerves since I started seeing how problematic it truly was in 2016.
I feel like Emma developed more as a person in Bunk’d, especially once she became owner of the camp, even if the show was bad.
THIS^^. Everything about this is absolutely correct.
@@ang4588 yh me too. That show was terribly written but a least emma grew.
Plus Connie is an ableist stereotype of neurodivergent people
@@devonmunn5728 Exactly, like I could definitely see her as a character struggling with borderline personality disorder or being autistic with a hyper fixation on Luke that manifests into an obsession. But instead, they demonize a most likely neurodivergejt character as “crazy” and “wacky” and play laugh tracks over her being mentally unstable…it doesn’t help that over all the times we see her in the show, she never changes or becomes a better person.
Unpopular Opinion: Mrs Kipling was an icon and that bad bitch
Amen
Pretty popular. The only character I could bare
I see only truthful words👏🏾
agreed
She so totally got pregnant in the episode where the plane crashed 🥴
The way the made Ravi a whole stereotype and did my mans so DIRTY for laughs.
Even when I was a KID I was like- something ain’t right with that
So did I, because that crap was just wrong. Period.
Honestly, Zuri was a little monster and so was Emma. Emma was terrible.
Also if I had a quarter of the sas they had
I’d be deceased!
I’m Indian and it fucked with me as a kid like people compared me to him and since the show makes him look like a clown I felt sad
@@NameName-yj7lp that’s so messed up. Disney needs to change this stuff right away. I’m sorry, dude.
I was pretty oblivious to all the fucked up shit going on with that show as a kid, but one of the few things I did take issue with is how they handled Ravi, I always felt so bad for him.
After re-watching Jessie this past week every single last one of those kids owed Jessie all the respect. Jessie basically raised them and Christina swooped in on the last episode to be a "mom" Like sis the kids can watch themselves at this point.
Ikr-? Like there all older teenagers except for Zuri at the time. Like you basically abandoned them and made Jessie and Bertram take care of them and now you’ve decided to take care of them yourself aside the help of Bertram? lmfao-
Christina and Morgan were such dead beat parents. Jessie was more worthy of the title of being a mother.
And then always threw them in summer camp wo she really barely spent anytime with her kids
@@Diordollies. ikr they were such bad parents
@@zoejackson6902 lol that’s what I was thinking too
This is why my favorite character in Jessie is the lizard 😔
It was the most unproblematic of the charecters
We stan Mrs. Kipling here
Period
Mrs. Kipling is a real one
She wasn’t afraid to slap a bitch when they was being disrespectful either
What really pissed me off is how Jessie's father forced her to be nice Deborah cause he was marrying her mother?
me too! he knew they hated each other but still decided too date her mother
@@miriam.malagon And the fact that he seemingly didn’t care Darla literally threw his daughter down a well, which would obviously have many holding a grudge?
GI Jessie as a whole is just a bad epsiode
@@darwinbowman8512 yeah i agery with that
@@ang4588 Darla straight up bullied her. She threw his daughter down a well that took them TWO DAYS to pull her up from and then proceeded to post pictures of her in her training bra for everyone to see. THEN continually was mean to her when she came down with the kids but she had to play nice because he was marrying her mother.
Same! I never understood why my parents didn't like this show either until I watched some episodes recently. I can't stand every single character on the show except for Bertrum. While Bertrum is a walking stereotype of the "fat" character on the show with his memorable line, "iT'S tOo FaR..." He wasn't afraid to call out the whole family and even Jessie for being privileged. The worst part is always seeing Zuri and Ravi play those typical offensive caricatures like "the sassy black girl" and "the weird but smart Asian kid." 🙄
@E1ated Worlds Seeing those kids be very rude and disrespectful to the adults is a very understandable reason why parents wouldn't want their children to watch this
Definitely. I mean I loved Bertram in every way and I dont know why they tried to villianize him for hating these spoiled af kids.
@@rebeccassweetmusic4632 I mean where were their parents? They modelled their terrible behaviour from their lack of parenting
@@lesbiangoddess290 Because they wanted us to root for the annoying kids. They're basically saying that kids are allowed to have horrible and disrespectful attitudes. Any adult who checks them is "bad" even though what they're checking them for is actually valid reasons
@@lesbiangoddess290 Because their parents were famous and didn't have a lot of time to raise their children. I think that's the only accurate thing I got out of that show
they would be rlly lowkey racist on the things they would say to ravi. like it was a couple episodes where the characters would mock ravi’s indian culture.
Yeah tbh the socks and sandals situation
Lest we forget every time someone mocked his accent...😑
@@cocoacos78 right it was very saddening to see.
right !! like ravi wearing a sari and then luke saying he looked like a traffic cone... never sat right with me especially as an indian person
@@cocoacos78 The episode where him and Burtram switched bodies. He literally didn't have to have Burtram's "accent" Even with Zuri and jessie too.
Of all the kids ravi was the most grateful for what he had
He was the best and my favorite character from the show!
Evan Bertram hated him less
He mentioned being poisoned by a snake back in India, so I don't blame Ravi for being the only sane one.
Ravi was the best kid and it’s no surprise that Bertram liked him the best
ravi was the only one of those kids that wasn't terrible and they played him for a fool
Emma was definitely annoying when it came to her status, and she could be selfish, but in a way, I liked her character (to an extent) cause it seemed to have a little self-awareness that she was a parody on typical rich girls that flaunt their wealth and don’t care about others, rather than someone to be taken seriously. Plus, I think I just liked Peyton List’s dry delivery and she had some genuinely funny lines that were overlooked in favor of the more extroverted kids. But some of the things Luke said to/about Ravi were.... problematic to say the least. Like when he told him to “freak out in American”, or made fun of his culture and birthplace while doing that school project on India, and basically tricked Ravi into doing all the work for him. He didn’t need to bail him out in the end lmao. Not to mention, all the times he was super invasive towards Jessie. The fact that they mentioned Luke hiding cameras in Jessie’s room and sneaking them under her door multiple times and it was always played off for laughs never sat right.
Yeah. The xenophobia in this show was so vile and I dont know why kids were expected to just laugh at it.
Luke really is the worst: mysgony, lack of hygiene, xenophobia and racism and overall just a really creepy future frat boy vibe.
I remember one nasty joke Luke made about Jessie's dress in the Lizard auction episode. I was appalled that Disney thought this was ok.
They did the whole they’re just like any other kids thing by putting them in a public school with normal kids and giving them normal kids problems but it didn’t work because their money got them out of a lot stuff
When did he tell him to freak out in american? I don't remember that...
Lol, as a kid, I only liked Jessie and Bertram. And even they weren't it.
At least Bertram was able to check Jessie and the kids a lot of times but yeah, I agree!
Bertram yes, jessie most of the time.
His actor is it though. And Bertram himself along with Jessie were most of the time cool.
@@snailgail4012 I mean their stereotypes: Jessie the poor Texas tomboy who struggled with love and Bertram the fat loser. I hated when the show reduced them to those "traits" despite being the caretakers.
@@lesbiangoddess290 Jessie and Bertram were a better parent figure then the their real parents
Never found the racist jokes surrounding Ravi funny but I always felt that he was a sweet character that deserved better
i’ve always thought the personalities of actors shine through in the characters, and i’ve heard that karan brar is sweet.
The episode when Emma went out with the "bad boy" really pissed me off
Wait, can you elaborate? (I’m actually interested)
@@ang4588 so basically Emma started dating a “bad boy “ who was pretty much a delinquent and never listened to anyone always doing petty crimes and when Jessie warned Emma about him she acted like Jessie was the jerk and did everything what he said and even started dressing like him.(but luckily they broke up)
@@scarletsage6267 Oh no, I know the plot of the episode (thanks for going through it again, though lol), I was just wondering why it pissed them off. I always saw it as Emma trying to rebel (even if she was being warned), thinking she had it all figured out, but eventually needing someone with more experience to step in and help.
Wasn't the bad boy like in his late teens, and Emma only 12?
@@gars129 Emma was 13, Vincent was supposed to be like 15
The fact that Disney pushed that "pervy teen boy" thing on Luke & thought we let it side like had cameras in Jessie room & etc and had tapes he would record and watch & even though we don't see what's on it we all got a feeling what was on it like... Disney wtf they took something that could've been a innocent child crush to him being creepy and weird
Also YES Zuri was just there to be the token black girl just to have her be a sassy, bossy mean & conniving black girl for laughs and that's all she was
And the fact that luke was biracial so ur pushing the sexual deviant black boy if that makes sense
@@sammiesauls8365 cameron boyce is biracial, luke wasn’t
@@noonie9459 no luke was biracial tho
@@noonie9459 if cameron was biracial, doesn't that make luke biracial
@@meme-ih1wb Not necessarily, There have been numerous characters played by biracial actors and the character they played weren't biracial.
Can we appreciate that Jessie tried to get Zuri connected to her culture for her gotcha day?
@@ClaudetteVioletta I mean Zuri was a child I can understand not really caring that much as a kid
@@ClaudetteVioletta zuri was a little girl who was literally raised in a place where she knew nothing about her culture so why would she understand the importance? y’all will find any opportunity to praise a white girl and belittle a black person.
the thing is all they did was use stereoypes, as someone whos african zuri was my only representation (ethnically) and she was just stereotypes I remeber going to Cameroon the country in Africa I'm from and my cousins were confused with that episode
no we can not appreciate it. i am african and the way they represented africa is disgraceful. the whole “ africa is full of animals and people live in the wild” and all of that is disrespectful. we are perfectly normal people living perfectly normal lives. them portraying zuri likes she is this poor african orphan living in the safari and these white people saved her. it’s disgusting
The parents were absolutely selfish for having all of those kids. I’m sorry but if you know that you’re schedule is so busy, why have 4 kids and make your workers raise them? Like why be so inconsiderate?
It’s probably for publicity. Though with Jessie as their nanny, the poparozzi would probably go away.
A lot of people irl have kids shipped in from other countries or troubled homes for publicity, they possibly did the same.
The Parents got the kids for Emma their Biological child, because they knew they had a busy schedule and that she would be lonely, so it was the best option. They weren’t being selfish in that situation
The other day, I was discussing with my cousins why Jessie did not age well 😂. The stereotypes in this show is just........ whew
around the last 2 seasons, this is the time when I had a short attraction to Cameron boyce 😭
@@user-oq5xl6hp5w may he rest in peace
Objectively, Jessie and Shake It Up have both aged like milk.
@@audreytheausllyologist502 shake it up aged decently well. I think it has more rewatch ability than jessie that's for sure
Especially the Indian one 💀
As a kid watching Jessie, I thought Jessie was like 30 until it's stated she's 17
bahahha really??debby role in suite life on deck created a smooth transition for me because both bailey and jessie were abt the same age
She dressed like someone in her twenties, not a teenager.
I thought she was in her early 20s up until now. As for Emma i thought she was like 17
i thought she was 19
In the first episode she said she was 18, or at least that what I remember.
nah cus in G.I Jessie when jessie threatened to quit she shouldve just left and never came back. taking care of stuck up rich kids who never learn the consequences of their actions has to be a fucking nightmareee. shouldve gone to college to start off her career 💀
Especially with one of them sexually harassing her 24/7, she should have taken her check and dipped fuck those kids.
both jessie and bertram shouldve quit their jobs tbh and the parents shouldve actually raised the kids they chose to adopt
My least favorite character was the dad because unlike the mom who actually realized that what she was doing was wrong and actually gave up her career for her kids but the dad never actually spend any time with the kids
I honestly never liked the dad for that reason because at least the mom TRIED to spend time with her kids.
I agree, he didn't seem to care about his kids at all, and even though it was played for laughs, it still annoyed me.
Also, I hate that _she_ was the one who gave up her entire career and the dad didn’t do shit for the kids. Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but it feels weird that the mom was the one who gave up her career and the dad didn’t do anything for them. It feels off.
@@booklover8081 it seems that it falls into the stereotypical mom in movies and shows where she would do literally anything for her kid and the dad would always be horrible or never showed any feelings for the kid
@@trinaq sort of reminds me of how child abuse got played for laughs looking at you Schneider and Hartman
Coming from the Creepshow Art situation, stalking is not funny
very, very true
Same same, tru
True
True
yeahh - also from the situation , it can ruin lives and be a cause for trauma
As an African girl, Zuri pissed me off. I don't like it when a supposed African character doesn't embrace their culture, instead just becomes another bratty sassy black girl stereotype.
If there's a chance that I watch Jessie when they play reruns, there's one episode that I just can't watch (besides the mentioned Creepy Connie saga and the episode with Luke and the project on India) it's "Are You Cooler Than A 5th Grader?" when it was Ravi's first day at Walden and Luke tried to act like he didn't know who he was
Omg, that episode wasn't it! Luke was so mean to him throughout the whole show
That was so awful and immature or him. He really wanted to be cool in 7th grade? I know peer pressure and all that but that is so pathetic.
And also how Ravi was always like the butt of the joke and Jessie and everyone else barely defended him. I hated Luke and Zuri for bullying Ravi 🤦🏾♀️
@@clancysworld8188 she was the most kind to him sadly, she walked all over him but still showed him more love than zuri and Luke did
I watched that episode 3 days ago lol!
I completely stopped watching the show after the episode where they were making fun of that kid with the peanut allergy. That episode was so disrespectful and offensive to anyone who's allergic to tree nuts in general.
What episode was that
@@madisonmad2767 quitting cold koala. They cut the allergy parts out.
@@MeMarcusTheCreator Oh ok that must be why I don’t remember that happening. Is there a link to the deleted scenes
@@madisonmad2767 ruclips.net/video/a5TZo6nj4dI/видео.html
@@MeMarcusTheCreator thank you
The way this show treated Bertrum fucked me up, ngl.
Right? Like I feel he didn’t do anything to deserve it from my opinion. He could be a bit of a dicc but never cruel
yeah im surprised bertram never quit his job until season 4 and even then he still decided to become their butler again. bertram was definitely a dickhead at times but the kids and Jessie were extremely awful to him.
my name is emma and it’s honestly so weird to feel like harry is talking about how she hates me lmao 😭
Those few episodes with Jessie being happy with brooks made me upset cause the kids didn’t want her to be with him especially zuri cause she kept forcing her to be with tony along with Emma like Jessie is an adult she doesn’t need snobby rich kids to depend on her life
Yeah.. I was so happy when Betram told off the kids and called out their behavior.
@@eggstertries what I Hated the Most about the Jessie/Brooks storyline was their first date and since neither of them couldn’t afford to pay off their meal to leave she tried asking the girls for help and they refuse because they want her to be with Tony instead. Absolutely Pissed me off that I always avoid that episode.
@@jamescadet4450 SAME!! They were just being petty to the point to where it wasn't even funny.
Zuri and Ravi were HEAVY stereotypes. there, i said it.
@@clancysworld8188 ik. but alot of people dont bring it up
@@applesyves8939 true.
IMO Ravi was even worse than Zuri.
i hated one of the side characters connie, she is literally why i had struggled with getting a crush at her age
EXACTLY. I had this weird obsessive thing going on at that time, and it was all because Connie was the first girl I had ever seen in media with a crush, and so I thought that that was the only normal way to like someone. I quickly got over it, as it lasted for only about a few months, but I can assume that theres a LOT of little kids that don’t yet understand that it’s a problem to be that obsessed over someone. When I went back and watched it, I was incredibly uncomfortable. I saw another comment talking about how if the genders were switched it would have never happened, which I completely agree with. I basically grew up on that show, and so that show taught me that a lot of things that really aren’t ok, are perfectly fine. For example, I thought it was fine to act like Emma did. I actually did this for about two years. Emma was definitely one of my favorite characters, but now that I look back on it, it’s Ravi. Although he just brushed everything off like it was nothing, the torment that he went through was insane. Anywho, I’m done with mu abnormally long rant, have a good day :)
@@ellzzzzzzzzzzzz2191 I related to literally everything you said in this comment!! It’s crazy how much these shows influenced us and our personalities
I always hated the characters on this show. Now obviously this hurts to say because of the late Cameron Boyce, and not hate to him whatsoever. But like with the exception of Jessie herself and Bertram every single character were completely unlikable (and not in a way that made sense). Emma, Zuri and Luke being the worst ones. Especially Emma and Zuri. Don't get me wrong Jessie has her share of unlikable moments, namely during the final two seasons. But everyone else around her who isn't her boyfriend Tony and Bertram are just worse. Even their mom Christina was often mean to Jessie past season 1, especially that Season 2 episode where Emma hosted the fashion show and in the series finale. Even Ravi who was suppose to be the nice kid had episodes like Coffee Talk. Emma does develop a lot more in Bunk'd, which is nice.
With Zuri she always got away with scheming, disobeying and being rude to Jessie. Especially in that body swap episode. Emma was always rude, selfish and loved insulting Jessie, especially when it came to her look knowing Jessie isn't good in relationships. As for Luke he was always protrayed as a casanova, despite being a misogynist.
To me the episode that showcased the kids at their worst and made me question why Jessie even bothered was G.I. Jessie (quite possibly the most frustrating episode of the entire show) Rossed at Sea, Karate Kid-Tastrophe, Morning Rush, Evil Times Two and the Body Swap episode.
@@clancysworld8188 The episode was named Toy con
Why do you consider G.I Jessie to be one of the worst instances, and the fashion episode? In that one the kids didn't do anything.
@@openspaces5263 Because GI Jessie is a frustrating episode and constantly tortures Jessie for no good reason. In this episode everyone who isn't Jessie are so one sided against her/unlikable. The Ross kids constantly disrespect her throughout the whole episode, from that kitchen scene where Zuri fights with Jessie when she tries to take the tray away, only to have the tray flip over in Jessie's face as the kids laugh at her and Zuri gives her a smug look when Jessie was only trying to disipline her.
Then we have Emma who had just met a guy she barely knew for 5 seconds, only to claim Jessie is "ruining her relationship". I can understand from the perspective that Emma is a teenager and they do stupid things like that, but Emma does stuff like this constantly when she falls for a guy. How easily she turns against and disrespects Jessie happens too much to be considered "teenage stupidity".. Especially since one instance involved Emma locking Jessie in a room to be with a guy both of them liked!
And despite the fact this is an event where they are meeting Jessie's dad, they don't care or listen to Jessie until she snaps and tells them she's had enough of their crap! Only then they decide to "care" because she quit.
Then you have Jessie's father who comes off as a HUGE asshole. He's constantly one sidedly blaming Jessie for every little problem that goes on in the episode. He just expects Jessie to get along and respect her childhood Bully simply because he's marrying her mother, ignoring the fact the bully makes no obvious signs to not do the same. He never tells Jessie's bully Darla that she has to commit to the same amount of mutual respect, instead he just berates Jessie for insulting/fighting with Darla even when Darla is the one who insults Jessie or starts the conclit. Also its his daughters bully, why would she want to get along? What makes it even worse is her father is completely aware that she bullies Jessie, as one scene Jessie mentions to Darla's mother that Darla had once pushed her into a well only for her father to give her the "ahem" to make Jessie not saying anything mean about Darla.
I can understand if Jessie's dad had no idea Darla was like that or was fooled because Darla put on an innocent facade, then from his perspective it would look like two people having a petty squabble, but no he's full aware of all of it, but just decides to be one sided against his own daughter for absolutely no reason! Especially once you realize he was the reason she left home to pursue her dream as an actress because he wasn't supportive of her dream, yet expects Jessie to do the same thing when he marries the mother of his own daughter's bully?
It also goes against what was told about his character before he was revealed. He comes off as an abusive asshole in the episode, but seemed like a strict/stern, but loving military father by word of mouth.
And no the ending does not save the episode because it felt like a Cop Out, all of a sudden Jessie just isn't blamed for everything, they never actively scold Darla for making a mean comment about her in front of their faces and despite crashing into the building before, all of a sudden they were completely okay with it when they weren't the first time.
@@openspaces5263 As for the Fashion episode. While the kids aren't horrible to Jessie their mother Christina certainly is. I listed it as an example because why would Jessie want to work for the Ross family when her own boss basically abuses her the entire episode?
In Season 1 Christina genuinely seemed to care about Jessie, even to the point of defending Jessie from a bully nanny's hate blog. In this episode Christina treats Jessie like a servant, even to the point of making her wear a shock collar, then uses her as a human pin cushion. When she has Jessie put on a dress she tries to pin ends up pinning Jessie instead, she also spends the episode giving Jessie annoyed glares. Even when Jessie is shown struggling to carry some heavy fragile objects and asks for help in the end credits! She even ignores Jessie's story about bonding with her father!
This just perceeded with Christina's future appearances, where she would seem to be annoyed by Jessie more often than not!
YESS GI JESSIE OMFG. That series finale boils my blood. GI Jessie was the Season 2 finale, and I think it should’ve just ended with Jessie quitting like she said because she kids were constantly being rude, selfish, disrespectful, and disobedient during her stressful time when her enemy is about to become her stepsister, her dad doesn’t care that she got pushed out of a well and is mad that she chased her dreams in New York, her future mother in law takes the evil stepdaughter’s side all the time, Emma runs off with a random guy we never see in any other episode and gets herself trapped in a bomb Bunker with him, Luke and Zuri use a high tech military machine that causes damage and destruction, and Ravi just goes along without growing a spine and refusing to take part in their shenanigans, and of course Bertram and the military chef always insult Jessie for being “whiny” when she’s going through a tough transitional period of having a stepfamily and her father marrying someone else other than her late mother. 😤
I hate the fact that in Jessie and bunkd people tried to make fun of Ravis Indian voice and mock him and act like it’s a joke and that’s not okay I think that’s very rude and r@cist for the writers to do that and to play it off like a joke cuz r@cism is NOT FUNNY and will nether be a joke.

On kids emulating the characters they watch, I did that so much. When I watched iCarly, I wanted to be Sam so bad. I spent a lot of time emulating Sam and even had a butter sock at one point that was actually full of rocks because I couldn't find the butter in my house.😂 I kinda knew the whole time that my personality was much closer to Freddie's, but I didn't want to admit that for years. I especially related to Freddie in the episode where Sam played pranks on him and called him "Gullible Freddie." I had a best friend throughout elementary school and middle school who would constantly trick me into believing random things she said and would always laugh and say "Oh Ren, you're so gullible." Needless to say, I became very self-conscious of that. I wish I could've said that particular iCarly episode helped me feel less alone in my gullibility as a kid, but it didn't because Freddie gets pranked the entire episode and the show frames it as being ok. Even when Freddie got upset, it was depicted as him overreacting to good fun. If anything, that episode made me want to be more like Sam than ever because Sam had the upper hand the whole time. I know I'm commenting under a video about Jessie, but the point about kids emulating characters they watch and parents not wanting their kids to watch certain shows because of it really hits home. Also it's cool that you're a Freddie too. :)
I had a “butter” sock full of rocks too ! Definitely wasn’t like Sam as a kid, thankfully honestly.
Yes it is cool to be a Freddie because Freddie is just as awesome! EEP! :)
I just relized I am a bit like Freddy because I did have a group of friends who disrespected me thankfully I cut them out and confronted them about how terrible they were
I literally relate to this comment so much
The only good thing Jessie done right was giving Jessie her happy ending and diversity I hated the fact that Emma belittled Jessie Jessie is beautiful but Emma called her ugly,talked about her hair and her weight etc etc all of those kids are terrible
Ravi is the only kid who isn’t terrible tbh he was nice he may be nerdy but he is nice
I hated the episode when Emma dated that bad boy she was rude to jessie
@@Staarzie Ravi was my favorite character when I was younger
My grandma hated alot of shows i watched as a kid. And I can see why now. Even for more reasons she didn't think of herself
i agree sometimes these characters are horrible, but I never hated all of them. Emma is annoying, Ravi is good, but he needs to stand up more to his siblings and stop getting sucked into their shangenions. Zuri is the worst, the only thing I like is her being with milly the mermaid and her loving animals. Luke was okay, annoying flirt and can be lovable. Jessie is good, but she needed to do more stuff ouside of being with the kids. Bertrum, he is lazy, he needs more respect, and I love that he likes opera
Luke was no way near ok. Real disturbing shit
Milly the mermaid was weird. like other than everything else that happened on this show (which dear god it has not aged well) Milly the mermaid...they held like a funeral?? didn't she get killed by like a swordfish or something? It was kinda dark for some kid's imaginary friend
@@alisepolselli7269 true
@@jazzyg6059 okay, now when I think about it, there were times were it was weird
As a kid, I idealized Zuri. I thought that being rude, sarcastic, and “sassy” would get me popularity and friends, but it just made people not like me. I was definitely the problem, but I feel like having a character like Zuri depicted as funny and cool absolutely did not help with my already existing attitude problem
*Reads title and remembers all the racial stereotypes*
Oh yes it is
As an (half) Indian…I didn’t realise how much they were unnecessarily bringing up how Ravi is Indian when I was a kid. Like…why…
Don't hate the show, and no shade to Cameron Boyce, but man I only liked Jessie, Bertham, and Ravi. Emma was okay-ish at times but her school goth friend (what was her name, was better than her).
Zuri just reminded me of all the black girls who enforced #Notblackenough in elementary, Luke was legit toxic middle school ego syndrome.
Tony was alright. Did he and Jessie get together.

@@ang4588 thank you 😊

Yup, they got back together in Season 4 Episode 19, the Halloween episode.
It’s Zuri stereotypical sassy black girl
I abruptedly quit watching this show when I saw the episode where they torment the boy with the peanut allergy. Not only was it hugely unfunny and offensive, but impressionable viewers might get the idea to do the same thing!
What episode is that?
@@goldshell9992 "Quitting Cold Koala", if you're curious!
@@trinaq Thanks
I also heard that when that got backlash, they cut that scene from on demand after parents complained.
in comparison to the racism, you’ll excuse me for not caring much about a few rude jokes about an allergy.
I didn’t like how the show treated Ravi. You’d think late in the series, they would have given him a friend but nope
at the end:
yOu sHoUld AlWaYs bE yOuRsElF
I know it’s hard for child actors to separate themselves from character.. so i wonder if the characters of Zuri rubbed off on Skai Jackson? From a really young age, she played a character that was rude and cruel and it was just seen as sassy or comedic.
She’s been exposed this year on Twitter for being rude so I think it did
@@clancysworld8188 when?
@@clancysworld8188 u said "always" im not talking about that
Debbie Ryan and Skai Jackson never got along when filming the show so i think she’s never exactly been the sweetest girl either. Honestly it’s probably being exposed to business and acting at such a young age that made her like this
What are you saying? How would you know if any of that is true? We’re you there? No
I'm here for this commentary. The parents were awful thats why their kids are awful (with the exception of Ravi he was so great until later seasons) and the stereotypes were HORRENDOUS.
I feel like a lot of Disney and Nickelodeon shows from this era (early 2010s) didn’t age well. There were some really good ones but most of them had at least 1 negative trope. As much as I love Phineas and Ferb the whole Baljeet and Beaufort relationship was awful. It was funny to me as a kid who didn’t know any better but to laugh at whatever they showed on the screen, but after thinking back on it I realized how bad it must have been for South Asian kids, or nerdy kids, or kids who were being bullied to watch that. And don’t even get me started on the whole sexualization of Ariana Grande on Victorious or the whole Dan Schneider situation and how Skai Jackson has unfortunately become the character she was forced to play.
absolutely. as a young south asian kid, i saw my people being humiliated, mistreated, and dehumanized and it being played off as a joke on tv. it was so harmful and it contributed to so much of my internalized racism and self hatred in middle school
Omg Dan's foot fetish schemes always weirded me out even as a child. Yes i watched iCarly but whenever they out the foot on the screen i was so creeped out and disgusted. Even on Sam&Cat they asked their children viewers to send pics of teir feet to be featured in an episode?????? Jesus christ
they made the TWO poc characters walking amalgamations of stereotypes and micro aggressions for “comedy”. they forced them to have accents they never had in the first place and it became even more forced and aggressive as the show continued (also i know that Luke is mixed. however he was portrayed as a white kid the entire time, his biracial background was never acknowledged in the show, only once outside of the show)
Fr tho! How are u gonna adopt kids and not take care of them 😐😐😐
It made me so mad how they did Ravi. Like he wasn’t even supposed to be on the show and they put him in just to add diversity but they literally just stereotypes him as the smart Indian kid and made him the butt of all the jokes 🤦🏾♀️
I was so mad during the whole Brooke x Jessie thing because zuri and emma spent most of it saying "YoU'Re SuPPosEd tO Be DatiNg ToNY".Like they would not help brooke get his money back and rejected him with zuri just telling jessie tony is her soulmate after brooke PROPOSED
I thought it was a missed opportunity for Zack and Cody aka Dylan and Cole sprouse to make a cameo in Jessie and have the kids stay at the Tipton and meet those characters

can we talk about the episode “gotcha day” ?? the whole theme is zuri’s birthday party was the stereotypical african savanna…there were zebras, gazelles, etc. they make it seem as though africa is remote and does not have houses, electricity, cars, etc like the united states does. i always hated that episode and always hated that stereotype.

It is so crazy to me that the parents hired Jessie who was 18, barely an adult, to take care of their children.
My boyfriend who is a sagittarius literally said to me yesterday "when people tell me to do something it makes me not wanna do it" lmao. Definitely dat fiery sag energy
Same here! Sagittarius squad rise UP! ✊🏿
Being an adopted child, the adoption plot is what really pulled me into Jessie. Honestly the show was kind of pretty close to my family, working parents, three other loud siblings and a babysitter this show was pretty much a comfort show that I could somewhat relate too but yes this show really has some issues.
Emma irritated and annoyed me in the crossover with Austin and Ally as a kid
Me too.
Yeah me to
Because she was fangirling Austin a lot?
Yes she was doing too much
i loved this show when i was younger. i distinctly remember jessie and zuri just complaining about boys together in one scene.
“ theres nothing funny about stalking” you hear that Miraculous?
I really really don’t like Jessie. It’s terrible. I don’t like Shake It Up either. ANT Farm is decent to an extent. I’m more of an Austin and Ally/Good Luck Charlie fan. I admit those shows have some flaws of their own, but they are better than Shake It Up or Jessie.
Really? Not to be rude but I felt like Austin and Ally/Good Luck Charlie catered a bit too much to white fans. Hispanic fans were kinda uncomfortable with the former and black fans were uncomfortable with the latter.
@@itoo4884 It’s OK, you’re allowed to have your opinion. I love those shows because I was able to relate to both Ally and Teddy (in fact everyone on A&A was so damn relatable) and Austin and Ally was very fun to watch because of the subtle sexual tension between Austin and Ally. I also loved the music, the romantic undertones and I thought Austin was sexy. Also the acting and chemistry and friendship dynamics were fun to watch. Also A&A and GLC are very comforting to me and help me a lot with my anxiety and depression.
@@audreytheausllyologist502 I'm hispanic and I didn't felt uncomfortable. I identify with the characters regardless of the ethnicity.
@@freakytostadacartoon I love and adore Austin and Ally and Good Luck Charlie. I’m 22, going on 23, and I would list Austin and Ally as one of my all time favorite shows. Not apologizing. I wear my love for that show on my sleeve, I write fanfiction about it, I listen to the songs and I watch the show on Disney+.
@@freakytostadacartoon That's fine if you do but I think others are rightfully disappointed. Trish (the show's sole Hispanic character) literally couldn't keep a job. Plus her jobs are often miserable.
When they were making Emma, they were making the obligatory "spoiled blonde rich girl that teenage girls should relate to". I always felt like I had to like her but I never did at the end of the day :/
I don’t see how the show was trying to make her relatable as ur saying?
@@Hi-yb2jr i think they mean like because she was always with the trends and stuff like that
no, she was a parody of the classic spoiled rich girl and was not meant to be related to (they made her character quite the opposite they made her UN-relatable pushing the stereotype that rich people are de-attached from reality) SHE WAS MENT TO BE UNLIKEABLE
When I was little my parents banned me and my brother from watching Jessie because of how rude they were to adult figures and how we were starting to copy their additude.
I'm a lesbian too! (And yeah I'm surprised this sow wasn't banned in my house, esp with all the shows that were.)
I didn't like how they used stereotypes based on race in this show. When I was younger I didn't notice it all that much but then my mom told me about what they were doing. As an Indian, I disliked how they overused Indian stereotypes with Ravi and I also didn't like how Zuri was the "sassy black girl". Also, about you saying that they were bad parents, something that's sort of ironic is that there was one episode where Christina came to the penthouse and she was sad because the kids went to Jessie for help, not her. Like bish you're barely around, what do you expect?
I remember when I was younger, I was so excited when I saw Ravi because I was STARVING for that south asian rep, but then I actually watched the show, and just.. no. I'm American but most of the mannerisms and culture that the other characters (especially Luke) mocked in Ravi were things that I saw in my own parents. And can we talk about Karan Brar and Skai Jackson for a moment?? Imagine being a literal child and having a bunch of random white people basically go, "You know what would be funny? If you forced an Indian accent/talked 'ghetto'! People would love that!" And just believing it because, again, they were LITERAL CHILDREN. Idk, it just riles me up that the two of them had to deal with stuff like that even off camera.
Ravi was the best ross kid. I mean he did became rude in later seasons but I'd be rude too if I had alot of siblings who gang up on me for being different or rlly for no reason at all
For anyone who doesn't remember the (ridiculously adorable) Josie Totah, she has transitioned since playing a male character on Jessie - and a number of other shows - then billed in the credits as J.J. Totah. If you want to see the young actress more recently, there's an interview on YT titled "Actress Josie Totah On The Importance Of Trans Day Of Visibility," uploaded in March of 2019 by the It Gets Better Project channel.
Josie is also in the show 'No Good Nick' post-transition! She's just an awesome person overall.
Yeah those parents didn't even check on their kids
the mother appeared once per season (the father disappeared after season 1)
every time she appeared she learned the same lesson over and over again
Cheyenne Lin did a dive in anti Asian racism on Disney channel, she also had a portion on Ravi if you guys wanna see more
I actually like Zuri and Ravi in the first couple seasons, back when they were both sweet and somewhat likeable. But I do admit Ravi was done really stereotypically. Also they ended up making Zuri even more of a stereotype when she got older. If they did less of that, they maybe could’ve been better. And I bet Bertram’s back hurts from carrying the show!
Yes!!! It’s a hot mess right from the start, there’s literally a joke about assault in the pilot episode. I know Disney isn’t the greatest with these things but I still can’t believe a lot of the writing of this show was approved
Really? What was the joke? 'Cause that sounds really messed up.
@@suredude_thatscool480 I might have been incorrect about it being in the pilot, but it is definitely in the first 3 episodes. I forget exactly how the scene plays out but the joke is that Bertram gives Jessie pepper spray and Jessie says “in case I get a-SALT-ed?” * cue laugh track *
@@deeanna9402 oh, thanks for letting me know.
Yeah, Jessie had a lot of messed up moments that they tried writing off as jokes. Like the whole Creepy Connie thing and how Mrs Chesterfield literally sexually assaulted and harassed Bertram multiple times.
4:50 that’s so funny my friend is a Sagittarius and he said that he absolutely hated when people told him what to do and it made him not want to do it at all. Love the parallels.
Same here :D im also a sag lol
Remember when they made a Spiderman animated crossover with this show
Oh dear. Forgot about that.
THAT WAS A FEVER DREAM
i-
what?
What
Well I watch a yter talk about it I was like..this is or was a thing?0__0
Almost all of the disney channel / tween kid shows had the characters be so rude for entertainment value. My parents had to ban me from watching it because I started to pick up a bad attitude... anytime I dared to talk back they said "she's watching that family channel again" LMAO
LOVING THE NAILS BESTIE
also the set up is really cute
I love Jessie (probably bc of childhood nostalgia) but all the characters are such stereotypes: Emma the dumb blonde, Zuri the sassy black girl, Ravi the Indian kid, Luke the womanizer
i’m cracking up because this is one of my favorite disney show & i agree with what she said😩😂
I have no idea why I liked this show as a kid...so many uncomfortable things.
Why is all of our kids media so awful? Guess one too many people said "why do you care? It's just for kids."
Everytime the parents were onscreen it just felt off, like they didn't feel the parents of their own kids to me.
One thing I couldn’t stand about these shows is that there’s always this reoccurring child character that’s RUDE to everyone. Teenagers and adults, they’re just extremely rude. Doesn’t matter how many times they learn their lesson in the show about how their behavior is disgusting, they are still rude when they come back.
which is why i hate family shows.
Is it everyone in the show?
The Indian Stereotypes in this show were really bad and they didn't even try to sugar coat them or cover them up at all. I distinctly remember how uncouth and unfortunate they were toward Ravi's character and toward Indian Culture. Having grown up around a lot of people of South Asian descent, it really made me uncomfortable. It was really just sad.
I really liked the new setup that you had. It was very pretty and very well done. 😊
I remember the first time I became aware of what pores were was from Jessie- I believe the mom was telling Jessie she was ugly because of her pores. Cue my current insecurities about my skin. Seriously the constant reinforcement of physical features being ugly fucked me up
May we please talk about that one episode where the white girl framed Zuri for the problems she caused and her rich father + Jessie believed her? That is outrageous. At least Jessie got a feeling that the girl was lying and stood up for Zuri, even though she could have lost a big job. That does play a little bit into the "white savior" industrial complex though.
Can we talk about how Luke's inappropriate behavior towards Jessie was always played for laughs? Everyone's always talking about Connie but I've barely seen anyone mention this. The cameras, the comments, ect.
They brush it off because Luke's inappropriate behavior towards jessie isn't as extreme as connie's action. But seriously even if it's not as extreme, it shouldn't be brush off. They talk about all this double standard and hate the connie girl but failed to also focus when the actual girl get creep on by the guy and the guy gets to pass.
not only him, that women who always hint on Bertram getting the past on this coment section
@@gingerbear7225 !!!! And Zuri and Stuart! That was given a pass too! Like seriously, what's up with that?
I couldn't stand the show as a kid because it was just so hard for me to watch. literally the only reason I forced myself to watch the show was because of Cameron (may he rest in peace, I still cry whenever I think of him) and the other actors like Peyton and Karan.
Girl the fact that they made the two POC actors basically walking stereotypes by season 2, I just cant. To quote Mariaha Balenciaga "give me my pocketbook im.leaveing"
Jessie is basically a Texas country girl who has to take care of 4 kids:Emma the wanna be popular girl,ravi the wimpy kid with a unusual pet,Luke the pretty boi that is desperate for a girlfriend(rip Cameron Boyce)and zuri the queen and relatable queen from the bunch,who has a mom and dad that leaves them and not care about them,and then Bertram the butler that is lazy and hates the kids so dang much
Zuri is the queen tho! 👸🏿
Couldn’t rewatch it after everyone shamed Ravi for wearing a cultural outfit that was important to him on his first day and even the adults made fun of him
The thumbnail is so funny for no reason 😭😭
this thumbnail had me crying lmao
congrats on 70k and I love your nail color so much
I came here for the tea on Jessie, I liked it once but now that I'm older, it has so much issues and thank God you pointed that out.
Is it weird that I always felt like Zuri didn't like being black??? Like. She didn't want an African birthday party to celebrate where she came from. She wanted the basic princess and pony show that she got every year instead, which, for a kid, is fine and understandable, but at the same time, I felt like Zuri needed to embrace the fact that she WAS black AND from Africa. It's like she was white washing her background. Idk. Maybe I'm wrong. It's just my opinion though.
Also, let's not forget just how awful of a person Emma Ross is because she had the episode where she was dating a bad boy in the 1st or 2nd season, and in S4, she had that episode that was kind of like a copy and paste of the bad boy episode I mentioned minus the boy drama. Emma literally needed to get her blonde (and purple/blonde wig) hair snatched and talked to like the child that she is. I literally wanted to reach through my tv and do something I shouldn’t do as an adult, cause I would've smacked Emma for talking to me how she was talking to Jessie. Jessie is a whole ass, grown ass woman, and could NOT control those kids.
Morgan and Christina were awful parents who were never there. And tbh, the series finale of Jessie was shit because Christina probably didn't keep her word either. Talking about how she was going to stay home and be with her children more. Nah, because the first chance she got, those kids got thrown into camp. In hindsight, it was Summer Camp, but still!!! You're supposed to be at home with your kids, right? That goes for the summer too. The fuck?
And Jessie was a very bad nanny for them and the "lessons" she kept teaching them never stuck. And I see why because she never stuck with what she said. Every time the words "I quit!" spewed from her mouth, she would be right back being mistreated, and disrespected by those knucklehead, bad ass children. It very much needs to be talked about how bad of a show this is for children because it absolutely is a hot mess.
I don't think she did, I mean, just look at how she wore her hair! 😍 But I do see how she could feel like that. I think most Black kids felt like that once, it's not about hating being Black, it's about internalizing racism. But I do think she got over it. Also she shouldn't be forced to have any type of birthday party that she doesn't want anyway.
If my babysitter allowed me to watch this show....
*Then somebody should sit them.*
Oh absolutely.
As much as I loved watching Jessie growing up, I did feel as though the children never really had any character growth. Emma would continue to be snobby and look down upon others. Luke would continue to be lazy, unproductive, and arrogant. Zuri would be rude whenever she felt like it, and still never really changed. A few instances with Zuri, was when Ravi wanted her to take of Mrs Kipling's baby's, but Zuri decided to just let them loose. I'm not saying Ravi, didn't have any issues, but what I am saying is that he was handed the short end of the stick most of the time, and the same even happened in Bunk'd, maybe not as much, but still. Ravi deserved better.
There was 3 children and one teenager being watched over by a teen like wtf
Did anyone else hate the episode where they went to Jessie's dad's wedding and she had a breakdown and didn't wanna work for them anymore cuz they were being unruly and selfish cuz she just wanted the trip to be stress-free and they guilted her into being their slave for the rest of the shows run? I was actively rooting for Jessie to just leave the family at that point cuz they treated her like garbage.
everyone treat each other like garbage in that family
Tbh I feel like Ravi and Bertram deserve better in my opinion, Bertram was soooooo mistreated by the kids and Ravi got bullied too much
as much as i hate jessie its my comfort show😭
