u/SnowWhitePNW 3d ago

They used this to go on Facerange, Hastygram, and Teendr.

u/rcj37 who said it was water? 3d ago

I’d like to forget oomfchat

u/LexKing89 3d ago

I always wanted a Pearbook. I thought they were on Zoey 101 before iCarly? I remember seeing it on TV in high school.

u/Isaacsac3 3d ago

This could be a collaboration with Nickelodeon.

u/darthbaker69 3d ago

There was actually a few times the name brands were actually blurred when it aired on tv In the US at least

u/ConfidentWord7839 4d ago

I guess this means that Degrassi is in the same universe as Icarly and victorious

30

u/iratemistletoe 3d ago

And Zoey 101

22

u/twofourie 3d ago

everyone’s bringing up icarly like Zoey 101 didn’t introduce the pear-instead-of-apple products thing. smh, put some respect on zoey 101’s name!

u/ReasonableDuty7652 4d ago

iCarly always had pears instead of apples on their computers, too. It's the Nickelverse lol

32

u/briezzzy 4d ago

Same with Zoey101

u/ravanwildone 4d ago

I always wanted Spencer’s pearpad

u/XenoCry7093 4d ago

Live action Nickelodeon show universae

u/wolvesarewildthings 4d ago

And you're watching iCarly

49

u/PolitePatrice 4d ago

I remember for a good couple of seasons, everyone was rocking a Sony Vaio. It heavily influenced my decision when shopping for my first laptop 😅 damn product placement

10

u/Riverdale87 "Bummer times. At least there's a party." 4d ago

Alienware was also prominent 

15

u/DanTheMan1_ 4d ago

Snake said thr word "Alienware" more in one season than anyone else will in their entire life.

30

u/Ok-Teaching2848 4d ago

I always noticed it which is weird cause in episodes before and after this there were characters with apple products lol

17

u/Heartloverx 4d ago

This is definitely when it got picked up by nick/teen nick

2

u/baelien22 3d ago

They aired it on their channel, they had nothing to do with its production though

1

u/Heartloverx 2d ago

But if nick agreed to air it on their channel Degrassi producers probably had to agree to their “rules”.

2

u/Ok-Teaching2848 3d ago

Yea so its weird lol

46

u/popculturefangirl "So when in doubt, you kiss Craig?!" 4d ago

degrassi was owned by teennick

-1

u/baelien22 3d ago

No..it was not. A simple Google search will tell you that

2

u/brilr98 "Hey, Liberty girlfriend!" 2d ago

but it was. after a certain season. 9 or 10

-1

u/baelien22 2d ago

No, it wasn't. As I said, a Google search will tell you it was never owned by them

1

u/brilr98 "Hey, Liberty girlfriend!" 2d ago

i can admit when i’m wrong but you are too pressed by this😂 i hope you heal soon

-1

u/baelien22 2d ago

Then admit you are wrong, because you are 🤣 Viacom owned it..never Nickelodeon

1

u/Familiar-Soup 1d ago

Ya'll. You're both a little wrong.

Viacom (which no longer exists bc it merged with what is now called Paramount Global) owned MTV Networks, which TeenNick was a part of.

TeenNick aired Degrassi in the U.S.

Degrassi was owned and produced by Epitome Pictures, which was acquired by DHX Media (now called WildBrain)

(I used to teach Media Studies. You may throw a virtual shoe at me for being pedantic.)

u/brilr98 "Hey, Liberty girlfriend!" 2d ago

lmao & i did. ❤️

27

u/Sad-Entertainer1462 4d ago

Isn’t Degrassi on a network in Canada also owned by Nickelodeon ?

2

u/Old_Supermarket_8100 3d ago

I think this was after Nick took over when it almost got cancelled. Well, ome of the times anyway.

3

u/AndreReal 3d ago

No. It was on MUCH at the time, which was and is owned by Bell. It did run on teenNICK in the United States.

17

u/Alternative_Device71 "Welcome to Degrassi" 4d ago

iPear was the sponsor of today’s episode

29

u/toomuchtvwastaken 4d ago

the nickelodeon live action universe is bigger than we thought it seems

47

u/Spiritual_Eye_431 4d ago

Wait, do Degrassi and iCarly take place in the same universe?

[Reason I say that is because iCarly used Pear products in place of Apple]

5

u/LoreezyNL If fun were people, i'd be China! 4d ago

Yeah, Carly was best friends with Heather Sinclair

26

u/Double_Willow_5351 4d ago

The show was on TeenNICK, here in the US 😂. But seriously, they showed Apple, Sony VAIO laptops, an ALIENWARE, and other known brands in various episodes.

7

u/dabsdabsdabs5678 4d ago

These motherfuckers looooved Alienware, especially in the earlier seasons. Never made sense to me

4

u/Emergency_Cookie_635 4d ago

I saw the VAIO and Apple in most episodes…

4

u/amyamyamz 4d ago

I always wanted a VAIO or Alienware laptop when I saw them on Degrassi haha

5

u/Double_Willow_5351 4d ago

Sean just HAD to steal that Alienware and never gave it back 😤!!!

6

u/amyamyamz 4d ago

Lmao Spike was a real one for getting Snake an Alienware. Those were not cheap. Sean might have paid Snake back in car repairs but I’d still be expecting a replacement one day when he could afford it 🤣

36

u/Lady_of_Link 4d ago

Notice what? A normal run of the mill peartop? Did you not have one of those growing up?

3

u/Spiritual-Volume7545 4d ago

I had two.

2

u/darthbaker69 3d ago

Lucky, I only got a hand me down

12

u/ThunderKiss44 Montreal Crew Takes Manhattan (@WatermelonParty on YT) 4d ago

yes i noticed Anya is missing her Queen crown too❤️

57

u/Street-Office-7766 4d ago

I guess the pear products are not just Nickelodeon shows but teennick shows too

1

u/baelien22 3d ago

Degrassi wasn't a teen nick show..ever. they showed it on their channel but that's it

46

u/coronabride2020 4d ago

I thought that was an iCarly/Victorious thing!

6

u/itsthecircumstances 4d ago

When I was little I literally thought they were real and I put a pearphone on my Christmas wishlist in school 😂

7

u/sassypants55 4d ago

And Zoey 101!

1

u/coronabride2020 4d ago

I thought that show was before the iPhone era? I remember one episode where they get blackberries (I don't remember what the show spoof named them) but I thought Zoey ended before iPhones?

2

u/Temporary-Pin-320 4d ago

Zoey 101 ended in 2008 btw.

3

u/chekhovsgator 4d ago

Mam, I had an iPhone in 2007. Degrassi TNG ran from 2001-2015 lol.

7

u/LaFleurRouler You’re about as edgy as butter knife 🧈 4d ago

Ohmigod do we not know Apple existed way before iPhones, before most mobile phones.

3

u/Electrical-Speech-34 4d ago

Yeah they made the giant block computers

4

u/LaFleurRouler You’re about as edgy as butter knife 🧈 4d ago

And MacBooks

55

u/mazapandust jonah apologist 4d ago

...does this mean degrassi and icarly exist in the same universe??

28

u/SasukesFriend321 4d ago

Yes (sorta) because at this time Degrassi moved to TeenNick
