Ice Cream for Ke$ha is the third episode of Season 2 of Victorious and the 23rd episode overall. It aired on April 22, 2011, and was watched by 4.0 million viewers.[2]
Plot[]
Tori and friends try to find the remaining letters of Ke$ha's name to win a private concert.
When a childhood promise catches up with Tori, she ends up working as Trina’s personal assistant for a month, forced to carry out Trina’s series of over-the-top demands.
When Tori learns from André about a contest to find letters spelling “KE$HA” in specially-marked ice cream cartons for a chance to win a private concert, she eagerly jumps at the opportunity. Trina agrees that if Tori succeeds, she can stop being her assistant.
Tori and the rest of the gang manage to find the letters K, E, and A. As they search through numerous ice cream containers, Robbie suggests that the unused ice cream shouldn’t go to waste. He decides to take it to the park to share with children. While his intentions are good, Beck warns him that this could be easily misunderstood. However, Jade, amused by the potential reactions of the children’s mothers and believing Robbie needs to learn the hard way, convinces Beck to let him go.
As the group runs out of ice cream, Jade mentions that Beck went to buy more and should be back soon. Robbie returns, having been confronted by protective mothers at the park. When Beck arrives, he suggests they check Ke$ha’s latest update, where they learn that the contest has ended, with someone from Northridge declared the winner.
Since Tori failed to win the contest, she is forced to continue being Trina’s assistant, including helping her with tasks like drawing a bath.
The next day at school, Beck and Jade check in on Tori, who shares that Trina “sleep sweats.” Trina interrupts, demanding that Tori answer her phone because it’s Lendle, a boy who wants to date her. Trina tells Tori to inform him that she has died. Tori follows the instruction, but Lendle then asks her out instead. Trina overhears this and angrily confronts Lendle, upset that he hit on her sister just moments after believing she had died.
Later, Cat calls Tori to show her a video where Ke$ha announces that the contest is back on, as the previous winner from Northridge was disqualified for faking his entry.
Tori and her friends resume their search, going through countless buckets of ice cream. Cat eventually finds the letter H, and the group celebrates. Realizing the hardest letter, $, is likely in the least popular flavor, Funky Nut Blast, they head to a store in Calabasas. There, they find only one remaining bucket of Funky Nut Blast containing an H. Cat then spots a boy eating Funky Nut Blast and Tori asks him for his carton. The boy refuses until Jade offers him $30. However, when Cat accidentally mentions the contest, revealing the letter in the carton, the boy renegotiates, demanding to attend the concert and receive a kiss from Tori, Cat, and Jade.
In the end, the group attends Ke$ha’s private performance of “Blow.” Afterward, the boy insists on his promised kiss, but the girls trick him by locking him out of the house. Feeling sorry for him, Trina lets him in, but when she offers him a kiss instead, the boy, disgusted, quickly leaves.

Trivia[]
Ke$ha sings "Blow" during a private concert.
- Although this episode aired on Earth Day 2011 alongside the Big Time Rush special "Green Time Rush", it does not feature any Earth Day-related content.
- Ke$ha is the second guest star to appear on Victorious, following Perez Hilton in the episode Wi-Fi in the Sky.
- This episode marks Lendle's second appearance, following his debut in Rex Dies.
- The letters found, in order, were K, A, E, H and $.
- Some of the tasks Trina makes Tori do for her include washing her hair, changing the song on her cellphone (despite it being within reach), plucking her toe hair, blowing her nose, and sponging her "sleep sweat".
- In this episode, Robbie continues to use the older model of the PearPad.
- This episode marks the third time a character experiences a nervous breakdown, following Tori's struggle with the Bird Scene in The Bird Scene and Robbie's breakdown in Rex Dies.
- The episode was #9 on the top-selling TV episodes overall on the iTunes 2011 Rewind.
- Part of this episode was filmed a day before The Wood premiered.
- The ending credits feature a blooper from the episode where Tori struggles to remove ice cream from its container, with the actors staying in character throughout the scene.
- The little boy in the episode is Ke$ha's real-life little brother, Louie Sebert.
- This is the second episode to feature a concert at the Vega house, the first being The Birthweek Song. However, this is the first time an actual pop star performs there.
- The episode’s plot draws inspiration from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, with the five letters spelling "Ke$ha" hidden in ice cream tubs resembling the golden tickets in Wonka bars. Additionally, the Northridge contestant faking his win parallels the forged fifth golden ticket in the film, and Sinjin's line, "Run for it, Tori. Run straight home, and don’t stop until you get there!" directly references the movie.
Tori reluctantly washing Trina's hair
- This is the first and only time a room in Tori's house is shown beyond the front door, back patio, and living/kitchen area.
- The bathroom where Tori washes Trina's hair uses the same set as the iCarly episode "iToe Fat Cakes", with minor differences in wallpaper and window placement.
- Jade is wearing the same outfit at the very end of the episode that was shown in A Christmas Tori.
- Ending tagline: "I hate everything." - Tori
- In the UK, the scene of Tori pushing Trina into the bath (implying that she is drowning her) is cut. This scene has also been cut from Paramount+ recently due to its dark nature.
- Also recently, the scenes of Trina holding a pickle in one hand and lipgloss in the other were cut on Paramount+, possibly worldwide; she now mostly appears off-screen and talks less during this scene. In late 2022, Daniella Monet spoke out about how she always wanted this scene removed as it felt sexualizing, but Nick said no at first.[citation needed]
- Before the episode was released, Dan confirmed Ke$ha's upcoming appearance multiple times on social media.
- A fan tweeted to Dan saying "@DanWarp is it true Ke$ha is going to be on an episode of @victorious !? @keshasuxx" Dan tweeted back saying "@JenxCoco Yep! It's VERY true! :)".
- Dan said "This A.M. I'm putting FINAL TOUCHES on the #iOMG episode... AND editing the next @Victorious episode: "Ice Cream for Ke$ha"- FUN! :)".
- Dan said on Facebook, "Here working on the new @Victorious episode "Ice Cream For Kesha" - This one is HILARIOUS, and Kesha does an AMAZING performance!"
- Robbie reveals that he has a bucket list, which includes riding a pony, taking a cooking class, and other activities he is too embarrassed to mention.
Reception[]
The episode was received very well by most fans and premiered to 4.01 million viewers, making it the most-watched scripted cable telecast of the night (second overall only to an NBA playoff game between the Lakers and the Hornets).
Running Gags[]
- Tori and her friends mostly finding Ks and As.
- Ke$ha asking Tori if those were real cheekbones.
- Jade imitating Tori as an actress from the 40s.
- Tori being Trina's number 1 assistant.
- People agreeing with Trina to let Tori do whatever she says.
Goofs[]
- In the Netflix captions, there was one point when "beat" was misspelled as "beet".
- In Beck Falls for Tori, Jade asks, "Who can't ride a bike?" and Rex replies, "Take a guess." prompting Robbie to say, "Can't you keep any secret?" Robbie also said on TheSlap.com (in the "Robbie's Car and Dale Squires" gallery) that he can't ride a bike. But in this episode, Robbie states he got off his bike to give the kids ice cream, and later on TheSlap mentions that someone stole his bicycle seat.
- Robbie probably can not ride a regular two-wheel bicycle but can ride his four-wheeled surrey bike seen in Driving Tori Crazy.
- How can Robbie ride his bike if he has those huge buckets of ice cream?
- It's possible that Robbie connected a wagon to his bike, or he was riding his four-wheel surrey bike seen in Driving Tori Crazy.
- Robbie said in his TheSlap profile video that he is lactose intolerant, but he eats a lot of ice cream, which has lactose, in this episode. It's possible that he lied about being lactose intolerant, or he likes ice cream so much that he doesn't care about the consequences to his body.
- When Trina notices the boy got locked out, the DJ is tying up one of the amp chords, but in the next shot, he is seen chilling with the backup dancers. In the following shot, the DJ is gone.
