Jennette McCurdy Literally Screamed In Terror As She Set Off A Confetti Cannon, And People Have Questions
After letting out a blood-curdling scream, Jennette poked fun at her dramatic reaction as she joked: “That’s what my next memoir’s about!”
In the video, McCurdy sits cross-legged in front of a giant “80” and says to the camera: “80 weeks number one, baby!”
She then tries to set off the confetti cannon but struggles to do so, laughing to herself as she admits: “I’m scared.”
“Ahhh, fuck, I’m scared, OK?” McCurdy adds. “Fuck, I hate… This is a bad idea; I hate loud noises!”
Eventually, the cannon goes off, and McCurdy dramatically jumps as she lets out a blood-curdling scream while covering her ears and shutting her eyes.
As the confetti falls onto her, McCurdy appears sheepish. She laughs once again and admits: “My heart’s pounding so fast right now, my heart is racing.”
Taking a deep breath, she adds: “I can hardly breathe, oh my god, that was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.”
McCurdy then jokes: “That’s what my next memoir’s about!”

While somebody else wrote: “I have been thinking about this for hours. Why did she open it in the first place? That is absolute terror on her face ????????????”
“Not to be rude but I feel like she coulda just bought confetti and threw it in the air instead of doing this if she was terrified of loud noises, which—judging from that blood curdling scream she very much is???” another user tweeted.
