"Are you talking about Brain Squeezers?"

- Sinjin to Jade.

Brain Squeezers is the 10th episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 57th overall.

Plot
Tori is chosen to be a team captain on the game show Brain Squeezers. She tells everybody about it and explains that the winning team will win $10,000 and they all get to split it. Soon, all her friends and people she knows constantly bug her to try to bribe her to pick them to be on their team. Robbie tries and cleans Tori's locker and gives her $20 and then she asks why, and finds out that he was bribing her. When Tori says she's not promising to put him on her team, he takes the $20 and shoves dirt on her locker just because she did not promise him a place on the team. Then, Cat tries to convince Tori that she will be smart when she shows her a new PearPad app she downloaded called Test Easy that will give her answers to things she will need to know. Tori realizes that Beck is playing cool just to get her to ask him to be on her team, which he starts to deny, but ends up begging to be on the team.

Later in the house, Trina comes in and suggests different "perfect" teams that she could pick. They get into an argument, which leads to Tori putting her pie in Trina's face and Trina biting Tori's ear, before Trina leaves and goes upstairs. Jade then shows up and fakes a sob story to get Tori to choose her to be on the team, but Tori sees through this, and they end up getting into a fight. When Trina comes back down, she is upset that Jade's there because she's not part of her idea of a "perfect" team. Tori, fed up with them, gets out her phone and tweets her team. Much to Trina and Jade's disapproval, she chooses Andre, Beck, and Robbie.

The next day, Tori arrives at the studio with her team to find that Jade has checked in, saying she was Tori, minutes before. They all get into an argument about whether or not Jade is who she says she is, and one of the people who runs the backstage crew tries to straighten things out. After Jade shows him a fake school ID proving she's Tori Vega, which Andre and Beck thinks looks impressively real, and Tori has no identification of her own to give, he gives Robbie, Beck, and Andre to Jade as the yellow team. When Tori complains, he lets her captain the blue team with Trina, Cat, and Sinjin as her teammates.



When they play, it proves to be a very difficult game. First, Robbie gets a question wrong which gives Tori's team, the blue team, 100 points. When He gets doinked, he gets sprayed with pus. Trina soon gets picked to answer a question, and, she gets doinked with nuts and bolts. Then when Jade picks Beck to answer a question, he decides to pass and then doesn't even answer, then he gets it wrong. They then doink him with The Gut Whack, in which they use a bowling ball with a stick to hit Beck on the groin. Then, when they pick Math as a topic, Tori chooses Cat. When Cat gets the wrong answer to the question, she gets a double- doink, two red punching gloves punch her in the face.



Soon, Jade gets asked a question about her favorite movie, The Scissoring, then she answers that she doesn't know the answer, so then the host says that she is a victim of "A-Salt and battery," then they spill salt all over her. However, the tiny batteries hit

Andre. Then soon, Andre tells them that Jade got them wrong, then the batteries go all over Jade. Soon, a car battery hits Jade as a sarcastic suggestion from Beck. Sinjin answers a question and then he gets doinked by accident, he gets hit with a toilet on his head.

After the break, the studio looked like a complete mess. And everyone except for Tori, had gotten doinked several times. And as you could see, the doinks got worse and were terrible. Then, Jade points out that Tori never got doinked. Soon, they ask Cat a questions about the 50 states of America, she pronounces Hawaii as Hawa-eye-eye, and then she gets it right. But then they tell Tori to grab the cash and take it away right away, she doesn't and a buff and strong man lies on top of her and she must get the cash in 10 seconds, however she fails and nobody gets money. The episode ends with the man still lying on top of her.
