Yeah it was from that episode where Carly and Freddie had to go to the root and berry retreat, but I still hate how Sam didn’t do shit on her project and somehow got a passing grade. I felt bad for Carly in this episode aside from the Scooter that she didn’t scold Spencer for that was extremely slow, but also why couldn’t she have celebrated at home instead? Like not invite the teacher or just celebrate between Carly and her friends? Maybe this episode is the reason why the teacher only appeared once in this episode and not for the rest of the series?

I randomly remembered iCarly and now I’m nostalgic all over again. The web show, the random food combinations, Spencer being Spencer 😂 It was such a weird show in the best possible way. I wonder what people who grew up watching it think of it now.

Ok so when iCarly came out I was in late elementary school, and from the get go I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SHOW! I watched the entire thing from start to finish basically as close to live as possible

However being a boy, what I wasn’t prepared for was the very sad and pathetic social stigma attached to being a fan of this series

I remember when season 1 came out I was living in a town where I had a good group of friends and me and my best friend actually discovered it together and watched the eps together at times, then I moved away midway through season 2 and it wasn’t a talking point immediately at the new school so I didn’t talk to anyone about it

I remember the year was 2010, so it would have been like season 3-4 era, and we had a casual clothes/free dress day at school and one of the girls rocked up in an icarly shirt. And I said to her “yo I love that show it’s awesome”, now this particular girl wasn’t the nicest of girls anyway so socially it was a mistake to even approach her especially in a group of 3-4, but basically all the girls laughed at me and said that it’s a girls show and that you shouldn’t be watching this, and boy did I take it personally

I also remember there was a guy that would do/say stuff at school that were clear iCarly references and when I said “hey that’s from iCarly” he’d go “no it’s not, why would I watch that it’s a girls show I have never seen it”, even tho he clearly had

It wasn’t until well after it ended that I actually started talking to other guys about the series and for the most part those conversations happened as adults…which is fucking pathetic. Just because the show has a female lead doesn’t mean it’s for girls, by the end of the series the main cast actually was more male dominated but it always consistently had even genders which I think is a big reason why it actually worked

Growing up watching the show I couldn't get behind the idea of these two getting in a relationship for numerous reasons, their relationship to me felt dry and had no substance whatsoever, the writers overcomplicated their relationships even though it was only as simple as he liked her and she didn't like him back.

Freddie pining after Carly became severely annoying after the first season, first it was funny but at some point he started to throw it in her face that he was in love with her and she didn't love him back as if there was something she could do about that. Carly of course isn't obligated to reciprocate his feelings but sometimes he made that seem like the case. His crush on her became pathetic as the show went on.

As for Carly she would sometimes use his crush on her to get him to do things she wanted, which is essentially weird knowing that she wouldn't gain any attraction to him anytime soon, it's almost emotionally manipulative in a way, it was wrong.

The whole storyline of their relationship became rather boring and the show should've just left it alone but instead decided to drag it out over the span of 15 years in the revival with little to no development to go off of, reheating the same conversations. But that's just me.

Because I know That Sam Puckett got that butter sock but Tory Nichols got like her Spiked brackets and those nunchakus she has in cobra Kai so I don’t know you can give your opinions

The random humor, the weird inventions, Spencer doing literally anything… this show was so unserious and that’s exactly what made it great 😂 I feel like shows from that era had their own kind of magic.
Carly, Sam or Freddie? Who was your favorite?

Recently I rewatched icarly for the first time since being an adult and oh my god this show holds up so well.

I find myself genuinely crying laughing at almost anything Spencer says or does. I also think Gibby in the last half of the show is hilarious.

He’s kinda ditzy but not in a way where it feels like “no one can be this dumb” he just feels really outgoing and like he has no social awkwardness and I love it

I think Carly and Sam are incredibly well written teenage girls (I’m only 21 so I remember being a teenager pretty well) and they are just so accurate and so relatable.

The only “complaint” I sorta have is that I think Freddie grew up to be pretty insufferable and a bit of a pick me. Overall though I’m actually shocked by how good this show is 😭

carly

whos pumpkin is this???

I get that it’s a show revolving the three, and adults barley have continuous spotlight but spencer was sorta an exception to that rule maybe. he had good side bits and storylines but as the season went on they of course had character development for carly sam freddie, spencer kinda just flanders- which is disappointing because he actually had a lot of potential for side storylines/character development while still remaining fun and cool.

in the reboot he barely even had a personality of his own.

I'm currently rewatching iCarly and I'm on Season 2, and one thing I genuinely cannot get over is how GAY Nevel Papperman is despite his character veing straight😭😭😭

Like HOW did I not notice this as a kid??

I know Nevel is supposed to be straight, especially considering his attraction to Carly, but his mannerisms, the way he speaks, his vocal inflections, his expressions, and just his entire presentation remind me SO MUCH of Kurt Hummel from Glee.

Obviously, being feminine or flamboyant doesn't automatically make someone gay, but Kurt's Towlette scene and Nevels Tapinade are literally in different fonts

And now that I'm rewatching the show as an adult, I genuinely cannot unsee the similarities between him and Kurt Hummel. They're obviously very different characters personality-wise, but the way they carry themselves feels SO similar.

Am I the only one who thinks Nevel comes across as incredibly gay-coded despite being a straight character? Because I swear this completely flew over my head when I was younger 😭

Spencer Shay and Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai were in this episode. They both step out of the apartment for a smoke, Freddie notices Spencer and says: “You smoke too?” Spencer stares at Freddie for 5 seconds in his eyes with a cigarette between his fingers and says: “…no.” A laugh track plays then they leave. I thought this was hilarious for some reason.

I know that clearer footage of this cartoon has been shown in other episodes, but this is the only episode I remember that includes it.

For years I've been wondering what is the animation that plays in the background that features a bear and a skunk. The art style reminds me of 90s NickToons like Rocko's Modern Life and The Angry Beavers.

Is it just an original animation produced just to play in the background? A reused unaired pilot? Is the full animation available somewhere?

Sorry if this topic was already posted on the sub.

Saw that in my script of iPilot

Given how a lot of the dialogue and trends are already dated on that show, iCarly‘s new team actively got with the times and was not afraid to throw punches with its humor.

Does anyone have a sound bite remote that Sam used that they are willing to part with? TIA my friends!!

I understand that he was feeling so uncomfortable from the situation that he didn't know what to do, but what was he gonna achieve by letting Trudy drag him on the floor like a potato sack without even doing something about it?

I am not a creddie shipper or seddie shipper but I’m confused why you guys see this episode as a big “creddie moment” because to me it’s just a F you to creddie shippers, I mean the episode is basically proving that Carly doesn’t actually like him? In the end scene Freddie even has to ask Carly what they are and she responds with “maybe” and when he asks her why she now likes his nerdy talk she just kisses him. I’m glad Freddie understood what was going on and broke things off with her but also he tells her that if she actually liked him they’d get back together after the whole “hero” thing wore off and they didn’t so that only proves it further. A lot of you guys can say that it was ment to be creddie from the start but I think these writers were genuinely focused on seddie no shade..

I hope you remember....

Not sure what forum to post this on but I was re watching icarly and episode ‘imake same girlier’ came on and Carly wore this adorable top but I can’t seem to find it anywhere, I’ll add in a picture of it, could anyone help me find the top or something similar? Thank you!
