The song '5 Fingaz To The Face' (Five Fingers) from VicTORious is covertly about Robbie and Trina's secret love affair.
Though they will never admit it.
The song is generally about a party where guys are hitting on girls, trying to get some action. The girls reject them, and the guys have to pull out the happy juice to lighten the mood. Even though the song already exists as canon in the VicTORious universe (i.e. Andre did not write it for Tori), the song is written for the show with each character in mind. When each character sings his or her line, the atmosphere is appropriate for their character. What Trina does in this song is important, but what she does not do is even more so.
The boy wants the girl, pretty usual.
The girl notices the boy's motives, Spidey Sense goes off for all of the other girls.
Trina initiates the flirting, she's pretty desperate for a hot guy, literally anybody but Robbie or Sinjin.
Robbie creepily takes it up a thousand notches.
The boys are thrilled about the potential removal of clothing from the girls. The girls are less than pleased.
Trina, yet again, initiates more flirting.
Andre calls it like it is.
Beck is single at the moment, makes a move on Tori. But move what in close? His eyes are not looking for making out.
A daily dose of what? Let's take a look at Robbie's locker...
It's filled with nipples from his baby bottles. They "remind him of happier days"... And Jade's locker has scissors, because she likes "scissoring", it's one of her favorite things to do. Back on track...
Trina grabs her boobs, Tori looks disgusted.
Cat remembers all the times that Robbie played 'Pirates' with her, a future topic.
Andre likes Jade as of Season 2 Episode 11. Rex wonders when Andre will make his move, Jade is now single away from Beck the next several months.
Cat is the chaser of boys. She doesn't like getting chased by boys, as seen several times with Robbie.
Rex is not impressed at Robbie's not getting Cat.
Driving the point in, and laughs in his face.
Andre just wants every guy to have a girl. In one episode, he is complaining that everybody is "getting stung by a bee", but him. A clever way to say that he's not getting any action at all.
Tori rejects Robbie, Rex and even Beck.
A musical interlude to keep the rhythm going.
Double 5 fingers to the face to Robbie from Jade, one hand is not enough for her disgust.
Again, Rex is not impressed.
Beck takes charge, providing his love for Tori. Andre for Jade. Robbie for *both* Cat and Trina, explained after the lyrics are analyzed. Martina for Tori being half Latin & half Italian. Venessa for Jade being normal American white. And Regina for Cat & Trina being a Queen in Robbie's eyes.
Andre realizes that the girls have to agree to go away with them after the party.
It's a dance party, and Rex is really making his moves. His little "turbo engine" is making quite the impression.
Jade is there just for the girls, and impressing them, and maybe even getting a little slice of pie, though not from the guys.
Robbie is 6'11" (and has a big penis). Rex is putting this club in gear, by bringing out the happy juice.
Even though Andre drinks water most of the time, this party is different. They do have parties with unmarked bottles from time to time.
Exhibit A. There are fake name brands, like Crystal Waters and Blue Dog Soda. These are un-marked.
Rex, trying to get the girls tipsy, for an easier chance. The girls are loving the attention.
Nickelodeon is not allowed to drop the F Bomb on screen, but they sure as heck can rhyme it in.
Their plan is not working.
Andre's ego takes over from a couple of shots.
The girls think that this is hilarious, and start to mock him.
Now they are ragging on poor Robbie. He is a Jew, and is loaded with cash.
Trina finally caves into the peer pressure, because she wants people to think that she bashes Robbie too.
Tori is cruel to Robbie.
In Season 2 Episode 1, Robbie asked Tori how to ask girls out without having to bribe them with money, or get sprayed with mace. Robbie creeps people out enough that people have to protect themselves.
Andre is trying to play the peace keeper. Jade has had enough of these charades.
Cat says no way.
Even to the last episode of VicTORious, she rejects his attempts.
The demon puppet is not pleased.
Tori hits Robbie in the groin on three separate occasions through the series.
Trina finally says "Five fingers to the face", to solidify her 'dislike' of him.
In Season 1 Episode 3, Robbie and Trina had to kiss for an audition for a play. Robbie later proclaimed that "no girl can fake that kind of heat", and was convinced that she loved him. She publicly denied it, though this sparked her sexual awakening towards him.
Later in the same episode, Cat did him a solid (and gave him one too), by stage kissing him to show that Trina's interest in him was not real. He then falls in love with her too. Cat had no interest in him other than being friends.
Season 1 Episode 12, Cat just got a new boyfriend, and Trina invites Robbie over for a foot pedicure, and maybe a little more. Her ovaries are very kind to him, she forgets that she publicly hates him.
The two invite Andre over for his feet. Look at how happy she is embracing him in public. She would be this happy all the time if she were to accept him officially.
Season 1 Episode 17, Trina is in awe from the manicure that Robbie has.
Same episode, the two embrace each other whilst scared.
Fast forward to Season 2 Episode 4, Robbie has to undergo major emergency surgery. Who comes to visit him?
Cat & Trina. Trina did not have to come, as everybody thinks that she hates him. But she really cares for his life and well-being. This also convinces Robbie that Cat likes him.
Season 2 Episodes 6-7, the gang takes a Fall Break trip to Yerba. Robbie, Rex and Trina were gone for a long time, "checking out their hotel room(s)." No one noticed that they were gone for a long time.
There is a civil war going on in Yerba with bombs going off everywhere, and the boys kicked Robbie out of their room. He snuck into the girls' bed. Trina is mortified.
Cat doesn't mind as much, because she is not sexually attracted to him. An escaped convict then crashes through the window. Who does Robbie choose to protect? Trina, his secret lover, or Cat, the girl that he is madly in love with?
He chooses Trina.
Trina then hides Robbie, when he is mistakenly put into the woman's side of the prison. Cat is nowhere to be found. She joined a prison gang.
Season 2 Episode 9 is a Whu-Dun-It Mystery, who did it to Trina? Robbie's flashback was him getting hit on by both Trina and Cat at the same time. Trina wins the argument, and Cat storms off angrily. Nobody denies this when the flashback ends.
Before the pseudo-murder mystery even begins, Rex asks Trina: "Hey Trina, do you want to know what my two favorite things about you are?" Both Rex & Robbie are staring right at her chest.
Trina punches Rex, *not* Robbie. Her sexual experiences are with Robbie alone, not with the demon puppet. She is already creeped out enough that Rex watches it happen.
Christmas, Season 2 Episode 13. She accidentally sprays him in the face with Christmas tree flock. Tori gets upset at Trina "using" Robbie for the chance of a hug. What Tori doesn't know is that it is the special type of hug that their parents do with other people, because their parents have affairs with other people.
"Whoops, you were supposed to spray me in the face tonight, with your 'special sauce'...!"
Season 3 Episode 3, Tori becomes incredibly upset at Robbie for being snarky. She shocks his groin with a car battery right in front of everybody.
She feels bad for him. She usually doesn't have empathy for anyone else, but for him she does. Unless she is disappointed there will not be nocturnal activities for a while.
Right then and there, Jade and Beck break up. This gives Trina an open window for a hot guy. She springs into action and chases Beck, and Robbie takes her down.
Season 3 Episode 5, Trina spreads rumors that Beck asked her out. He did not take to it kindly, and staged a situation that all three guys would vie for her attention. They even stage a fight.
Trina, however, does not know that this is a staged fight. She wants to protect her beloved.
A random picture from TheSlap.com, a Facebook-like website that they use in the show. She is loving the attention.
The final touching moment was in Season 4 Episode 1, where the gang break into Wanko's Warehouse after hours. They have to defeat the security system, and slide Robbie under the laser grid.
Right into a pole for his groin. Click for an enlarged reaction of Trina's face.
Tori then slides a Walkie Talkie to him, right when Robbie turned around.
Pow, right in the kisser. Look at the boys' reaction, it had to be a juicy hit.
Trina, while she always felt bad for Robbie getting hurt (mostly in the groin), sometimes felt that he deserved it.
The two were secret lovers, but could both seek out relationships in the real world as a cover. Trina never got anybody, other than one date with Sinjin Van Cleef. Robbie on the other hand had these experiences:
5 Fingaz To The Face is about Robbie Shapiro's sexual dating frustrations, but also helps to reinforce his secret relationship with Trina Vega.
