Many celebrities, like Will Smith and Miley Cyrus, have joined TikTok to share highly produced videos and interact with their fans.
Avan Jogia, who is best known for starring in Nickelodeon's musical-comedy series Victorious alongside Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande, has taken a different path.
He participates in a lot of trends, but they’re always a bit dark, and never complicated. He has Alt TikTok vibes.
Jogia spends a lot of time talking directly into the camera and answering questions and about Victorious, which ran from 2010 to 2013. He seems to like joking around about it.

He explained one famous scene in which he dressed up like the show’s protagonist, Tori Vega.
@avan.jogia What are you supposed to hashtag? What do hashtags actually do? #greenscreen #fyp #foryourpage

“I’m just here to talk about what a stone-cold fox I was in this dress,” he said.
He also addressed his character’s consistent lack of storylines.
“I don’t know if you guys remember but I didn’t do anything on Victorious,” he claimed.
In his most popular post, Jogia lip-synced to the song “How Bizarre” by OMC as the text on the screen revealed an alleged on-set secret.
@avan.jogia Not bizzare...

“When you don’t remember a SINGLE plotline to a SINGLE Victorious episode but you do remember going out partying every night,” he alleged.
Commenters were taken aback by the reveal.
“Me too and I was there,” Jogia replied.
“Yes,” Jogia said simply.
“Carrying a show on your back will do that to you,” a third commenter said.
He’s received quite a bit of praise for his honesty about the show and his interaction with his fans, so there’s a good chance we’ll be hearing from him for a while.
Avan went on to defend his fickle memory by saying "Life is long and weird."
I mean, he's not wrong.
And Avan proceeded to like and respond to a bunch of those comments.
Some tried to remind him of the show's super weird storylines, such as being trapped in a RV on a really hot day, riding in a slow-moving giant cupcake, and the time Ke$ha guest starred on an episode, and Avan kiiiiiiiiinda remembered:
And some even affirmed his jumbled-up memory, for which he was grateful:
In conclusion, how bizarre!
I you also can't remember a single Victorious storyline, just know that Seasons 1–3 are currently streaming on Netflix!
