** Jade was one of the more sane people on the show despite her callous tendencies and had some decent depth. She quickly turned into psychotic and vengeful ManipulativeBastard and has stooped to lows such as stealing a pint of blood that Tori donated just to keep her from performing in the school play, cyberbulling Trina by posting her potentially life-threatening stage disaster and running over Sinjin out of pure anger. This seems to be finally dropped in Season 3 (notably in "Tori Goes Platinum" and "Opposite Date")

* InnerMonologueConversation: In [[Series/ICarly iParty with]] Series/{{Victorious}}, Carly, Sam and Freddie use this to figure out how to get revenge on a cheating boyfriend. Tori lampshades this by asking to be included.



* InstrumentOfMurder: In the short film that the group of friends made in ''The Slap Fight'', Robbie's character has one: a violin with a knife hidden in it, or a "[[IncrediblyLamePun stab-olin]]."



* InternalDeconstruction: "The Worst Couple" deconstructs both Beck and Jade's toxic relationship and Jade's transformation from an abrasive bitch to borderline sociopathy. As a favor to Sinjin, the gang goes on a Newlywed Game-style game show that Sinjin is pitching. Beck and Jade get into an incredibly petty fight, which culminates in Beck saying on TV he's not happy with their relationship and them winning the worst couple award despite no one else playing dating yet. After the incident, things get PlayedForDrama. Beck feels remorseful for his outburst, but recognizes that he shouldn't brush off how he felt and tries to talk with her. Jade, unlike Season 1, where she was more willing to talk if they were having issues in "Robarazzi" and "Jade Dumps Beck", wants to forget about what happened because she's too stubborn to admit they're having severe problems. At this point, the rest of the group starts distancing themselves from them and flat-out telling them when confronted about it. Jade's personality hits new lows when she runs over Sinjin and insults her friends while they're in earshot. This proves to be the last straw for Beck, and he demands that they either work to fix their issues or break up. Jade walks out and threatens to end the relationship on her terms if he doesn't follow. Beck almost leaves, but backs out at the last second, and Jade too almost walks back in, but is unwilling to swallow her pride and dumps him. It's not until Jade undergoes long-overdue CharacterDevelopment and Beck realizes why he liked her to begin with that the two reconcile. After this, their relationship is shown to be far less toxic.
