In one “Sam & Cat” segment, Cat bets the audience that the sentences she’s about to say have never been said before. Two of those sentences, however, were quickly pointed out as inappropriate by social media users following the “Quiet on Set” drama.
In the first sentence, Ariana Grande as Cat says, “Oh man! My uvula got stuck between that hamster’s toes.” At first, it seems like a silly joke, but Grande proves a uvula can never get stuck on a hamster’s toes by gagging herself as she attempts to point out where the uvula is located. This seemed sketchy to those rewatching the it, but the rest of the scene only seemed to reinforce the idea that Grande was being sexualized.
The second sentence starts with Grande yelling at the camera before saying, “Ah I’m soaking wet! Somebody bring me the ocean.” This could already be proof that producers were trying to make the segment sexual, but her character’s explanation that followed makes it even worse. Grande says as Cat, “No one would ever say that, why? Because if you were soaking wet and you were upset about it, the last thing you’d want is for somebody to bring you the ocean because the ocean is even more wet than even the wettest person in the world.” To many, it seemed obvious this was inappropriate as one user remarked, “how did ppl overlook this?”
