This is going to be really weird, I had friends who were into iCarly but while 2007 was when I started watching channels that had Nickelodeon shows(YTV) I really heavily bounced off live action shows that weren't just competition shows until 2010 and Pair of Kings came out on Disney Family
Hol'up this is nearly 5 hours and you are going to make more episodes? I am convinced Quinton has been replaced by a machine. An awesome machine. Keep being you!
Ikr lol. Also that episode was literally how I learned what pirating movies meant. I'd see the little adverts on DVDs when I was just learning how to read a few years before the show aired and had no clue what it meant.
The way Spencer says “She’s a little teenager, you gotta let them express themselves.” Makes me want to cry, I can’t explain it but it just makes me want to cry.
Personally, there's something about the line that is very healing to my inner child. If I was told this when I was a kid, it would've meant the world to me T^T
@@田中_亜衣 I don't think that was the military, as I don't think he did anything that would be in the scope of the military. It looks a lot more like they had a lot easier access to cheap camo clothing (this is the US) vs actually getting real SWAT uniforms with the tactical equipment with it.
@@田中_亜衣 Technically, hacking is a crime, and honestly I thought she just got her dad's friends to scare Neville into leaving them alone than actually arresting him.
I never really appreciated Gibby as a kid (probably because I mostly watched iCarly with my brothers when i was supposed to be babysitting them and the whole shirtless dancing schtick is very much an imitable act) but he really is the most normal person in the whole cast, huh? They're over here with their crazy parents and their weekly dramas and everything and Gibby's just doing his thing. He's got a girlfriend, apparently really solid and sweet relationships with his mom and brother, he just drops in sometimes to see what the gang's up to. They're like, his weird weekend hobby
Ironically, yeah. The guy with the weird name and the early-show habit of taking off his shirt without warning is probably one of the more normal characters in the show
Yeah I remember him being a very solid character. He not only takes being a “fat laughing stock” well, he ends up lifting his chin at the criticism and embraces living his life happily the way he wants to.
34:36 I think part of Freddie's obsession with Carly in the early days was that she was probably the first person to show him affection that wasn't toxic or abusive. He loves his mother but can't trust her but if Carly doesn't think it's a good idea he can trust that she is probably right. In the later seasons Freddie was more independent from his mother bc the show helped give him financial independence. He also was older and instead of viewing his situation as never ending, he could view it as a countdown towards moving away for college.
Gibby was cut from the reboot because the producers were afraid of his sheer power. They tried to contain him, but he escaped. What’s Gibby thinking about? Mass destruction.
I watched the whole thing at work. I'm going great. Best four hours of work since... uh... the last time I watched four hours of Quinton Reviews at work.
I'm so glad you addressed the mean-spirited, almost discriminatory streak this show exhibited. I couldn't place it but you said it perfectly: the meanness of Seinfeld but without the self-awareness
This seems to be the case with alot of children sitcoms, they make the characters gigantic assholes but the show still expect us to root for them, they lack the self awareness that the main characters of these sitcoms are awful people
it is such a minor part of this video but. god the “iwant to stay with spencer” episode always makes me SOB. the shay siblings clearly don’t want to be separated, and even though he knows he has to change their grandpa’s mind to get to keep her with him, he refuses to change the way he interacts with carly. he keeps being a massive goober, he immediately tells her how good she looks even if he doesn’t like it cause he doesn’t want to break her self esteem, and he’s protective enough to worry about something that hasn’t been a problem in years. i adore spencer, and i’ve always wished they did more shay sibling stuff.
I was waiting for this part of the video as it’s literally one of my top 3 episodes but I never saw it!! I must’ve missed it 😭 if anyone has any idea what time frame it might be at please let me know
Seriously. He had one single accident with Carly and that was enough to convince their crazy grandfather he couldn't be trusted? And just because Spencer's unorthodox and a general klutz, he feels like that strengthens his point about wanting to take Carly away? How about the fact that he's a talented artist who lives in a pretty good looking apartment with Carly, who by the way is in a healthy school environment and is obviously well fed and looked after? Granddad just overlooks all the good points. Although later on it was revealed that their dad was helping by sending money XD but still, Spencer was making some of that money himself.
Spencer being Banksy is incredibly plausible. If you put a laugh track over that vid of Banksy’s artwork shredding itself, it would pass as an iCarly bit 100%.
I like the idea that Spencer is Banksy, but entirely by accident and he has no idea. Like an episode plot where he's hearing all about this famous indie street artist, and all their art is just stuff he's thrown out because he didn't like it. And when he tries to capitalize on it nobody believes him
As much as I love Jeanette’s performance as Sam, I wish we lived in the alternate universe where she never got into acting at all after having read her book. She didn’t deserve any of that.
I wish we lived in an alternate universe where she just didn't have a terrible time with it. She's a good actress, and she deserved to be treated better.
Honestly, if I found out my date was willing to humiliate himself in front of the entire internet to make his baby sister happy, I'd be really impressed
After reading Jeanette’s book it’s so crazy how much shit they joked about in the show was so reflective of the real abuse she faced. Like her mom was more like Freddie’s mom. Her mom would bathe her and examine her until she was 16. She said Miranda really was her first and only friend and she was really a safe place away from home. And the way they constantly joke about her eating habits when in reality HER MOTHER was starving her and teaching her to have eating disorders. It also gave her this success that put her in a position where she was made the sole provider in her home as a child. It makes all the sense in the world that she wouldn’t want anything to do with the reboot. Also her real humor is so dark and dry and brief in her stories that have more important sad messages and the shows sitcom humor is worlds away from her real self
Yeah honestly if they were even trying to recruit her for the reboot, they should have offered her a contract promising that she wouldn't have to put up with any of that sh*t anymore. Either way, good on her for choosing what was better for her.
Ya it’s really disgusting the way Dan treated her to he pressured her to drink underage by saying that the victorious cast did it which makes sense of why she didn’t like Ariana grande the book was fantastic best memoir any celebrity has written
It is INCREDIBLY on the nose, and it's honestly kinda bizarre on all fronts. Like... is this behaviour typical enough of abusive parents that it happened to show up as a wacky sitcom trope, or did Schneider somehow know about how Debra McCurdy was treating her own daughter?
@@TheWAYF I think the industry attracts a lot of toxic parents and personally theorize that Dan Schneider pushes parents to see abusive neglectful behavior as normal in that industry to allow him the space to abuse them. He got Amanda bynes emancipated as a teen and wanted her to move in with him (she may have done it I can’t remember)
30:40 An old comment pointed this out too though it's been buried, so it's worth repeating - this isn't all that convinces Carly's grandpa that Spencer is fit to look after her. After the cooking fire and it seeming inevitable that Carly is leaving, Spencer gives his grandpa lists of all sorts of things Carly likes - food, drink (distinguishing been soups and chowders, too) - and relays a lot of particulars like what sort of vitamins (dino-shaped) and coffee - because he knows she loves coffee - he gives her (decaf in secret.) All this made it clear to Grandpa Shay that he can in fact be a responsible, mature adult capable of looking after Carly, and the exchange with the inhaler (where Spencer gives it to his grandpa after Carly insists she doesn't need it anymore) sealed the deal. I think that's all quite important character detail; that for as dysfunctional as the character is portrayed he really does care, and is a positive older figure and role model in Carly's life.
Looking at Spencer's sculptures as an adult, I really like a lot of them. I don't think they say a lot culturally, and they wouldn't be great museum pieces, but each of them has so much joy and playfulness put into them that I could see them being great in an office or park or home or something. I really hope that the set dresser or whoever made them had fun doing it.
*ART* doesn't belong in a museum period Edit: unless like faeries or elder gods (or one of the other outerversal nuisances) exist but that's hypothetical for now and thus a mute point
As someone who has actually experienced a relationship like that it just made me really sad for Lewbert. While I feel his reaction was played up for laughs, it can really feel like that sometimes
2021 Quinton making iBinged iCarly: "We have now finished the longest intermission in the history of intermissions." 2023 Quinton making The Decay of Sam & Cat: "I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you."
It's interesting to see Quinton go through his arc of finding a new bottom, saying how iCarly is sometimes hard to watch, and then miss the show when he's watching Victorious. Then missing Victorious when watching Sam & Cat. Truly a video essay about his video essays could be made in itself.
I had a summoning salt video playing in my dream, I woke up hearing the video in my headphones, and I can tell you the exact point in the video I woke up
Still marveling at how Jerry Trainor handled these wildly inappropriate scenes with kids in the most respectful way possible and without his character having sexual undertones. Jerry really does feel like the wacky, yet responsible adult that protected the kids from the whole thing being way, way worse. One example is at 2:35:30. Many of the adults in the production of these shows took every opportunity to put their hands on the kids in some way or another. Meanwhile, Jerry has Miranda slung over his shoulder and carries her down the stairs while barely touching her. You can clearly see how respectful he is of her and the other kids in many different scenes like this. He has a lot of integrity as an actor and a person as far as I can tell. Obviously, Spencer accounted for a large number of inappropriate and compromising situations involving the kids, but the tone is somehow a lot more innocent and lighthearted than most of the weird shit on the show. I could be totally biased in this opinion though, because I clearly love Jerry.
I 100% agree with you. He captures the wholesome big brother vibe so well. Quinton makes a joke about the scene where Spencer puts pop rocks in his mouth and puts his mouth over sam's ear being a crime, but to me it seems so much like something a goofy big brother would do that it doesn't seem weird to me
Jerry was to Miranda, Jennette, Noah, and Nathan what Liz Gillies was to Ariana Grande; a person who would sort of step in Dan's way anytime he would get too close to them. Think of an alcoholic about to beat his kids getting stopped by one of their older siblings, that's basically what happened on set with Dan and the kid actors.
Yea even my parents liked him (they actually liked the show itself) they thought he was a fun character while still being a responsible adult, so many sitcoms have the responsible adult be bland and played for a joke so he was a nice change
My head canon for the inconsistency of his mother's rules about electronic devices near Freddie's head, is that she was afraid other devices might interfere with the one in his head.
Just how many things about the internet did iCarly predict?? Even down to swatting and internet celebs setting up fights with professional fighters, it's like the Simpsons of the internet
I remember that the episode where Sam is put under anesthesia and tells Carly about the kiss gave me massive paranoia of undergoing anesthesia as a kid. I was so terrified of accidentally telling something embarassing to my parents
Luckily for me while the ep made me scared, in real life I have never had that kind of anesthesia, I have only had local anesthesia that just makes a part of my body numb, or the kind that just makes you unconscious, no weird drunk secret spilling anesthesia.
There was legit a post on Reddit where a man under anesthesia slapped a nurse’s or doctor’s ass and said something weird to her and when it was over he vaguely remembered. And he asked her if he did it and apologized, but she said it didn’t happen cuz she knew he didn’t mean it. He was just freaking out cus he felt horrible but she wasn’t taking it to heart. Gotta feel bad for both of them.
I don't think anything has ever had me laughing as hard before as Sam saying cheese and Spencer saying ointment and then Freddy completely seriously saying "I think global warming is incredibly important" I don't know why it's just incredibly hilarious to me
The show was very well written, despite all the shit surrounding it. I'm currently rewatching it (that's why I've come back to the video too!) and I'm bummed it had to be such a weird production. Doesn't make the show itself less hilarious, it just makes the feelings upon watching it way more complex. Kinda impossible to evaluate without taking Schneider and Jeanette's mom into account,
Just got to point out something that's always bugged me: the shoe company threatens to sue iCarly if they break their contract and Spencer has to find a loophole to get them out, but, like... they were three minors who signed a contract without any guardians presents. Kind of feels like that would be a legal issue that would resolve itself.
Technically, the shoe company could make a contract with minors, but the contract is unenforceable. Basically, Carly and the gang could have just not performed their end of the contract and the shoe company couldn’t do shit about it, at least in terms of suing them.
@@Jellybeansatdusk It could be set up with the assistance of an adult like Spencer, who is also apparently Carly's guardian, then have the children as the owners of the company and the IP.
I remember watching that episode with my family and my dad pointed it out. He's the mechanic, carpenter dad and said that it was reckless because they looked like very small philps head screwdrivers and was actually dangerous so he didn't know why she didn't hand it to him like she would a knife. At the time I was like "dad it's a joke don't make it serious" but now I go hmmmm
I don't really think they would. There are plenty of content creators who I don't understand their popularity, but they are still well known. Plus this was the early days of the internet and standards were different back then which can account for it.
Those girls would be traumatized in record time. I'm partially amused by the image but also incredibly saddened by how terrible internet culture can be.
@@hope-cat4894 as someone who was around for what even technically wasn’t the "early days of the internet" (which the late 00’s/early 10’s absolutely _were not_ the early days wtf), we had cookies on the dark side and rawr means I love you’s on pre-teen ‘05-07 MySpace, but we were not exactly "running around in circles while making merp noises" random. That genuinely was not ever the "internet humor". Hell, most of my time was spent on forums. Remember, we’ve had the internet commercially available since the late 80’s/early 90’s. I started getting online as a kid in the late 90s. There were even video platforms other than RUclips, RUclips just ended up being the one that blew up because it didn’t make you use your own bandwidth to host a video on your own site and some other techy stuff.
when i rewatched icarly, i remember thinking like, "WHOA, i did NOT remember how OFTEN carly gets creeped on by some older adult man." that happens SO often on the show, and it is always played for laughs...says a lot about dan schneider
Absolutely did, it was supposed to be Spencer's law school money, he even begs his dad to keep sending checks after he finds out the truth in the finale
Gibby is a true homie for figuring out something was wrong when the gang got kidnapped and went to confront a psycho with no regard for his own safety. He was a true hero
@@danielsurvivor1372 In the super psycho episode of Sam and cat after Nora breaks out of prison and she see him at the movies he gives her sam's address and then says good luck
That's sad as hell. Jennette McCurdy deserved so much better. She was such a figure in my childhood and yet she was completely ruined by the entertainment industry that caused kids to gain an immense respect for her. It is so horrid. In context of the show it's kind of sad as well realizing that there is a chance that Sam's mom doesn't really give two shits about her, so there is a chance that her mom just forgets to buy food for her.
So Jennette McCurdy has a podcast about being an ex-child celebrity with a prety abusive parent/manager, and on one episode she interviews David Archuleta about his similar experiences. (Also they were both mormon at some point) So uh, yeah. David Archuleta's narcissist dad absolutely put him on every show that would have him for money and attention.
Hell, Dad even had him appear on an episode of Tosh.0 when the Web Redemption was those tween girls who famously cried and screamed when David Cook won Idol. David A played his own head in a box, "Se7en"-style.
The tracking device isnt contradictory, it probably just means that the REAL reason she doesnt want freddie to put electronic devices next to his head is specifically because shes worried it might interfere with the tracker signal.
I got that purple iCarly Build-A-Bear for Christmas one year for my birthday. She was completely tricked out- ALL the bells and whistles. Including a voice box. A voice box that played the iCarly theme song whenever you touched it. And I mean. The entire iCarly theme song. The slightest jostle of this bear set off its internal speaker, Miranda Cosgrove crooning to me in the wee hours of the night. I didn't want to leave any of my stuffed animals off my bed because I didn't want any of them to feel left out, so I would essentially prop the iCarly bear up in a way where I hopefully wouldn't set it off. When I did, I learned to try to sleep through it, just letting it play out, too exhausted to do anything about it. That being said, if I'm ever in a coma and you need to figure out how to interact with me, just play the opening percussion of the iCarly theme song and I will stir, ever so slightly, to groan in despair.
I HAD A VARIANT OF THAT BEAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING!!! eventually the voice box kind of croaked out over a period so the background music of the theme song would sound so cursed. i kept it in my closet after that.
I work at build a bear! We changed the sensitivity and volume on sounds for this very reason. Analog sounds typically are louder and easier to press, while digital sounds are quieter and take a much more deliberate press. That being said, I still wince whenever someone wants to put a pop song in their bear. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. Your story does make me want to set the iCarly theme as my alarm though.
In "Married With Children," the writers had to write around the pregnancy of Katie Segal, and Peg Bundy got pregnant in the series. However, Katie had a miscarriage and lost the baby. Even though it created a plot hole, they agreed to not mention the pregnancy on air ever again, because it would be needlessly cruel to someone who endured a painful human loss. At the end of the day, this is all entertainment and a show, and what is that, in the face of loss like that? After that story, this makes me wonder about them keeping Sam a binge eater after the actress was sent to the hospital for an eating disorder.
yeah, after hearing jennette mccurdy talking about how much she suffered through this show I could never watch it again without feeling deeply uncomfortable. I mean, it wouldn't have been that hard either, to just stop making the character eat all the time. It's not like it was the only thing sam did in the show. Even more knowing how much that was making her situation worse, as stated by jennette herself
I detest that show, but if this story is true, I have a whole new respect for the writing and production staff. That is such a wonderful show of compassion and solidarity with their star. And it is *infuriating* that Jeanette, a child, wasn't afforded a fraction of this compassion.
@@commisaryarreck3974 the show is good but you can tell what Dan wrote and what he didn’t write. I feel bad for Jenette and all the other actors who had deal with that creep.
Okay but the show had some of the funniest one liners including “then why do you have this board that says ‘ideas we can steal from iCarly’?!” and “well I ain’t supervising what you produced in there”
@@samueld8413 an anonymous artist known for the fact that nobody knows who he is and his insane art pieces, usually tearing down some terrible part of the world and the culture. He’s both insanely fascinating and annoyingly pretentious at the same time. My favorite piece is his mock up of a fake Disney land which includes, and this isn’t even the best bit, a dark ride where Cinderella’s carriage crashed and the paparazzi are standing there taking pictures like Princess Diana’s death.
something I found shockingly stressful rewatching is just how bad carly & sam's sense of internet safety is. they use their real names they use a lot of information about themselves they show the outside of carly and freddy's building. sam just shouts out the address of their school and how many times it feels like the script really wanted to call freddy the f slur but they can't do that on nick
The thing about the “huge” iCarly fans not knowing Spencer was always confusing to me as well. In retrospect, it might have been a running gag, but the only punchline I can think of would be that those “huge iCarly fans” aren’t actually fans and only want to talk to Carly and the gang for clout. The problem is the only times this seemed to happen was with Fred/Lucas and Jackson Colt, two already famous people in the iCarly universe who wouldn’t have needed any clout. Unless there were more examples I forgot about lol
How did I just realize the sam being forced into beauty pageants storyline is literally Jeannette mccurdy’s life. How cruel of them to acknowledge the truth of that, write it into the show, have her act it out, and play a laugh track over her childhood trauma…
@@opalensue1989 i think the point was that they didnt know. it was a secret thing her mom taught her. producers and staff on set would comment on her body as if there was nothing wrong with it, they couldnt tell what she was doing. nobody knew about her eating problems, not even the creator, as she was so good at pretending to eat in front of others (before her bulemia)
I am so furious. I am so shocked. I cannot believe that you only mentioned Socko once. He was such a big part in the side characters. During the 4 hour mark, you mentioned Spencer didn’t have adult friends, yet Socko was there. Justice 4 Socko 😔🙏
Don't forget Socko's cousin, Tyler! The one who makes light up neck ties. My memory could be slightly skewed though, iCarly feels like a fever dream sometimes
Nobody is gonna read this, but this is like my 6th rewatch of this video and a memory was awoken in me So when season 1 was airing for the first time, my parents saw me watching icarly with my sisters and their first impression of the show her 9 and 7 year old were watching was the joke about "Ms Briggs' pointy boobs" and we weren't allowed to watch it anymore. (before season 1 finished airing we were regularly watching it again despite that) My friends at school knew about this, and in front of me talked about how funny "the episode where there's acid rain that turns people into candy" was, and FOR YEARS i watched and recorded icarly religiously hoping to see the damn acid rain episode that i was too gullible to realize was a complete fabrication if u read this whole comment, thanks. lemme know if you find the acid rain episode 😂
My mom banned me from watching Pokemon along similar lines, but instead of inapropriate lines she said "if that thing says pikachu again, you cant watch this show ever again" So yea... i never watched pokemon again.
Yeah 😅 It’s also kinda bittersweet because he’s there as her guardian instead of their dad. I guess Gibby hasn’t seen or met their dad. I might be wrong but I only remember seeing him in the finale
When I was younger my mom made me do beauty pageants and at the pageants they had to ask us questions. One of the questions was along the lines of “Who do you look up too the most?” or “Who do you aspire to be?” and I said “Spencer from Icarly...” I remember everyone laughing at me, but I was dead serious,,, and now I do art 👍
Spencer pulling some of the hottest women will always be insane and then i realize bro makes sculptures that are in galleries and it all starts making sense
This feels like an interesting archaeological dig. So much to learn and rediscover (especially now that were older, and seeing the show from a different lens)
I honestly couldn't believe it was such a rabbit hole. I feel like we discovered so many interesting things, that otherwise would have been forgotten about and lost in time.
"Freddie's poor security leaves his data and technology at risk, something that could have been avoided if he had just had some way of cloaking his location and IP address. ... God, I wish this video was sponsored." This is perhaps the funniest meta-joke any RUclipsr has ever made.
"I had a dream where Spencer told us (the cast of iCarly) that someone had eaten out of the fridge. I like to think it was Gibby with a turkey sandwich."
happy you called out the weird pattern of neurodivergent hate throughout the show- As an autistic person it just really really sucks to see played off for laughs and seen as normal.
Random side note: In the iQuit iCarly episode, when T-Bo drops the smoothie he spreads his arms and lets it fall. After having been a cook, this is something that's drilled into you in any kind of food prep training. You should NEVER try to catch anything that falls. (You don't want to try to grab a knife or burning hot food.) I just personally think that was an interesting detail and wonder if the writers were just going for whatever looked funniest or actually had some kind of knowledge about the subject.
It might have been a stage direction from the writers, a good call by the director, or the actor himself. All are plausible because on any given filming set, 75% of your people have worked food service if not more lol
I saw the same thing! Raising my hands and taking a step back from things falling is so ingrained in me that I do it when dropping things that definitely won't hurt me(pillows, bread, etc)
The thing about Freddie being shorter and looking so much younger than the girls is kind of interesting because although that's not what you'd expect from a TV show, in real life, teenage boys do look younger than girls their age.
Puberty hits girls earlier, so there's a brief period where teen girls will end up taller than the boys their same age, only for the boys to eventually hit puberty a couple years later and outgrow them again. Which is what we see here! I agree, I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often.
@@MasterOphSky I always liked that gag where Freddie finally overpowers Carly after she spent the first season manhandling him, its a nice bit of character development like "yeah, Freddie's not so much of a dweeb anymore"
It’s fairly common and explains why they often cast older guys even when their female character is actually a teen. Especially in that middle school age. You often see guys super tall with facial hair walking the hall beside little guys who look like they belong back in elementary school.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Haha yeah I was one of those late bloomers. I was the third shortest kid in my middle school graduation grade, but now I’m taller than a lot of the same friends I’ve known since then.
now hold on. They wanted Spencer to prove he was a responsible adult? HE DID JUST THAT!? like seriously the "I don't [think she looks good], but she's a teen, you've gotta let her express herself" is one of the best lessons a show for kids can teach to both its intended audience and their parents!
It's such a nice little detail, how Spencer *does* handle it well, just not in a way Grandad approves of. If Spencer had handled it badly, we'd feel less good seeing him keep custody of Carly in the end.
@@Farrowstrike well yeah, but the difference is shes not hurting anybody through her choice of outfit. its a process of self discovery that harms nobody. im pretty sure spencer wouldnt let carly snort coke or throw rocks at cars...
30:00 honestly as a parent I think Spencer made the right call by not freaking out over Carly’s makeover. He’s right that kids want to express themselves and allowing Carly to do so in a relatively harmless way without freaking out about it is good for her development. While goofy, I found that Spencer was a good caretaker when it counted and this moment was a good example.
I didn’t realize how often iCarly pulled the “joke” of “sexual assault or harassment is committed but it’s happening to a man so we’ll play it for laughs.” Gives me the icky shivers
Because if they had dumb baby jokes every 5 minutes it wouldn't be as memorable. Those are "Adult Jokes" and clearly you're too immature or young to understand them
the weirdest part about the first neville episode is that it initially implies that an adult man invited Carly and Carly alone to meet him at his house to talk
@@randompersonyoumightknow2118 Onision, Moscow Mitch, N3k0Pan, JK Rowling, Chelsea Hart, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Greg Abbott, Chris Pratt, Prince Eme, VB Chinchilla, my two nephews that raped their sister, Drake Bell, Kyle Massey, Amber Herd, the list can easily go on
The irony is that she wrote how she was at some point only hired to play the aggressive, creepy, traumatized, dark kid characters because it was the only thing she knew how to do well because that was just her life.
This show was actually an awakening to me as a child bc this was the show that made me realize TV shows weren't live-acted each time they were shown. I used to be so confused why they wore the same outfits in the same episodes and had the same inflections and everything. I didn't know shows were recorded and re-run lmao. Also when the show was being promoted i never wanted to watch it bc the scene where Spencer shot milk out of his eyes grossed me out. And then until maybe the final year of its original run I had thought the second episode was the premiere episode and never seen the pilot until then. I was nine when the show started. Baby me was a time
@@Sponsie1000 They should have made an episode where Carly questions if Socko is even real and thinks Spencer made him up because of his lack of adult friends because she never met him, so Spencer invites him over and then shenanigans happen and Carly still doesn't believe he's real and only actually meets him at the very end of the episode.
i am late diagnosed autistic. as a child i acted a lot like the character from icarly, making animal noises and getting so passionating excited about appearently small things. i became the joke, the punchline, the punching bag because of this. the first few times watching the episode where they introduce the fan, i always mistaken the message behind it. i related with the girl and thought it had a lighthearted sweet meaning behind it, somehow not noticing the laughtracks or how the other characters reacted to the girl's behavior. i was too focused on her, relating with her and seeing myself in her and really really liking her. then, later when this episode came on i excitedly made my parents watch it with me. it being my favorite episode at the time i wanted my parents to see it. but.. during it they laughed at the "jokes". the girl that was supposed to be the punchline when she was only acting like herself. i noticed my parents laughing. then i noticed the laugh track. the way the characters reacted. it all finally clicked. this is the one of the first times i had realized that i was the punchline, the gimmick and to this day i look back on that and it still impacts me. im diagnosed autistic now and.. it all makes sense, but before it didn't. basically what im trying to get at is, thank you. thank you for recognizing this. thank you for including this in the video. you didn't have to, but you did. thank you for acknowledging this thing that i felt so alone for many years. i appreciate you and im a fan of this series so far. anyways sorry about the rant, but i felt like i needed to share my story. thank you for reading
I get this 100% as I'm also late diagnosed autistic. I was the punchline for everything until sixth form (age 16) and it still affects me today. I was Mandy, and that laugh track followed me every single day.
I am so sorry. My best friend had similar experiences, and it hurts to hear/read about. I hope you are doing good now, and I definitely hope media stops using neurological diversity as a joke. Or honestly, disabilities in general need to stop being used as a punch line.
I now want this to be a plot in the new show. Spencer sneaking out to do mystery art and later it’s revealed that he’s a super famous street artist by an even worse name than banksy
2 days after you made this comment, it was revealed that Peter Jackson's documentary film The Beatles: Get Back has been expanded to a six-hour docuseries instead
Looking back, I think the reason why iCarly felt more genuine than any of the other Nick teen dramas is because it was the last show to actually focus on a bunch of kids in a plausably normal kids life. It's successors would all put kids into situations that are at best, college level enviroments, if not outright adult enviroments and the joke being "these kids are doing an adult job". Worse is the latter type almost always devolve back to normal highschool drama, which not only feels out of place (as they often have to contrive a reason why someone who is clearly no longer needing school still needs to care about school matters), but also render the original gimmick pointless.
God, the Freddie’s mom “bimonthly body checks” thing takes a whole new meaning once you’ve read Jeanette McCurdy’s book… moms like Freddie’s are REAL, ugh.
@@espeon871 i didn't read the book so i gotta ask, did the producers know what she was going through? or was it just a weird coincidence/known type of abuse kinda deal? if they knew and still put that in... holy shit.
@@smalltiny you should read up on Dan Schneider and how creepily he treated his underage cast if you're interested.

This is going to be really weird, I had friends who were into iCarly but while 2007 was when I started watching channels that had Nickelodeon shows(YTV) I really heavily bounced off live action shows that weren't just competition shows until 2010 and Pair of Kings came out on Disney Family

The fact that they literally fucking swatted Neville is wild
Not to mention that they used the military which i thought was illegal for the US to arrest American civilians through the military.
@@田中_亜衣 two crimes for the price of one then!
But they didn't swat him. He DID commit a crime. He just got caught.
@@田中_亜衣 I don't think that was the military, as I don't think he did anything that would be in the scope of the military. It looks a lot more like they had a lot easier access to cheap camo clothing (this is the US) vs actually getting real SWAT uniforms with the tactical equipment with it.
@@田中_亜衣 Technically, hacking is a crime, and honestly I thought she just got her dad's friends to scare Neville into leaving them alone than actually arresting him.
I never really appreciated Gibby as a kid (probably because I mostly watched iCarly with my brothers when i was supposed to be babysitting them and the whole shirtless dancing schtick is very much an imitable act) but he really is the most normal person in the whole cast, huh? They're over here with their crazy parents and their weekly dramas and everything and Gibby's just doing his thing. He's got a girlfriend, apparently really solid and sweet relationships with his mom and brother, he just drops in sometimes to see what the gang's up to. They're like, his weird weekend hobby
Ironically, yeah. The guy with the weird name and the early-show habit of taking off his shirt without warning is probably one of the more normal characters in the show
Damn I never would have noticed this
It's like how Sinjin in Victorious is the character that's most like an actual highschooler
Yeah I remember him being a very solid character. He not only takes being a “fat laughing stock” well, he ends up lifting his chin at the criticism and embraces living his life happily the way he wants to.
Gibby's just fucking vibing, man, and you just gotta vibe with him.
34:36 I think part of Freddie's obsession with Carly in the early days was that she was probably the first person to show him affection that wasn't toxic or abusive. He loves his mother but can't trust her but if Carly doesn't think it's a good idea he can trust that she is probably right. In the later seasons Freddie was more independent from his mother bc the show helped give him financial independence. He also was older and instead of viewing his situation as never ending, he could view it as a countdown towards moving away for college.
I felt so bad for Freddie as a kid and thats exactly why i actually was one of the few Creddie shippers.
That’s a good analysis
Gibby was cut from the reboot because the producers were afraid of his sheer power. They tried to contain him, but he escaped. What’s Gibby thinking about? Mass destruction.

Well, actually y'know what? That tracks.
I'm so glad you addressed the mean-spirited, almost discriminatory streak this show exhibited. I couldn't place it but you said it perfectly: the meanness of Seinfeld but without the self-awareness
This seems to be the case with alot of children sitcoms, they make the characters gigantic assholes but the show still expect us to root for them, they lack the self awareness that the main characters of these sitcoms are awful people
it is such a minor part of this video but. god the “iwant to stay with spencer” episode always makes me SOB. the shay siblings clearly don’t want to be separated, and even though he knows he has to change their grandpa’s mind to get to keep her with him, he refuses to change the way he interacts with carly. he keeps being a massive goober, he immediately tells her how good she looks even if he doesn’t like it cause he doesn’t want to break her self esteem, and he’s protective enough to worry about something that hasn’t been a problem in years. i adore spencer, and i’ve always wished they did more shay sibling stuff.
He was a better father figure to Carly, than many ACTUAL fathers in the world today.
Ion know why but your analysis of Spencer made me tear up. He really was an amazing brother
I was waiting for this part of the video as it’s literally one of my top 3 episodes but I never saw it!! I must’ve missed it 😭 if anyone has any idea what time frame it might be at please let me know
@@atheniastanford4889 the episode analysis starts at 28:57 !!
Seriously. He had one single accident with Carly and that was enough to convince their crazy grandfather he couldn't be trusted? And just because Spencer's unorthodox and a general klutz, he feels like that strengthens his point about wanting to take Carly away?
How about the fact that he's a talented artist who lives in a pretty good looking apartment with Carly, who by the way is in a healthy school environment and is obviously well fed and looked after? Granddad just overlooks all the good points.
Although later on it was revealed that their dad was helping by sending money XD but still, Spencer was making some of that money himself.
Spencer being Banksy is incredibly plausible. If you put a laugh track over that vid of Banksy’s artwork shredding itself, it would pass as an iCarly bit 100%.
Tru +2 😭😭
I like the idea that Spencer is Banksy, but entirely by accident and he has no idea. Like an episode plot where he's hearing all about this famous indie street artist, and all their art is just stuff he's thrown out because he didn't like it. And when he tries to capitalize on it nobody believes him
lmao
except Spencer's artwork would have shredded itself, without Spencer's input lol
Within the show's canon, it's entirely plausible. The real Banksy is not and never has been just one person.
As much as I love Jeanette’s performance as Sam, I wish we lived in the alternate universe where she never got into acting at all after having read her book. She didn’t deserve any of that.
or at least was able to do it of her own free will and without the abuse
I want to watch two sweaty, hairy, big, buff macho men kiss passionately and grab eachother
I wish we lived in an alternate universe where she just didn't have a terrible time with it. She's a good actress, and she deserved to be treated better.
@@aspiringjoker2883 she got into acting in the first place because of parental abuse. Nobody deserves that.
@Jennifer Griel I'm aware. I wish she hadn't been abused is all I'm saying.
Honestly, if I found out my date was willing to humiliate himself in front of the entire internet to make his baby sister happy, I'd be really impressed
After reading Jeanette’s book it’s so crazy how much shit they joked about in the show was so reflective of the real abuse she faced. Like her mom was more like Freddie’s mom. Her mom would bathe her and examine her until she was 16. She said Miranda really was her first and only friend and she was really a safe place away from home. And the way they constantly joke about her eating habits when in reality HER MOTHER was starving her and teaching her to have eating disorders. It also gave her this success that put her in a position where she was made the sole provider in her home as a child. It makes all the sense in the world that she wouldn’t want anything to do with the reboot. Also her real humor is so dark and dry and brief in her stories that have more important sad messages and the shows sitcom humor is worlds away from her real self
Yeah honestly if they were even trying to recruit her for the reboot, they should have offered her a contract promising that she wouldn't have to put up with any of that sh*t anymore. Either way, good on her for choosing what was better for her.
Ya it’s really disgusting the way Dan treated her to he pressured her to drink underage by saying that the victorious cast did it which makes sense of why she didn’t like Ariana grande the book was fantastic best memoir any celebrity has written
It is INCREDIBLY on the nose, and it's honestly kinda bizarre on all fronts. Like... is this behaviour typical enough of abusive parents that it happened to show up as a wacky sitcom trope, or did Schneider somehow know about how Debra McCurdy was treating her own daughter?
@@TheWAYF I think the industry attracts a lot of toxic parents and personally theorize that Dan Schneider pushes parents to see abusive neglectful behavior as normal in that industry to allow him the space to abuse them. He got Amanda bynes emancipated as a teen and wanted her to move in with him (she may have done it I can’t remember)
WHere can I see her real dark and dry humour?
My headcanon is that assault IS illegal in the iCarly universe, but everyone's so scared shitless of Sam that the police doesn't want to arrest her.
I buy that
That’s how it always felt watching the show growing up.
That's definitely what I took away from it when I was a kid
Yeah but in Sam and cat they bring up Sam has a parole officer, um, don't ask why I know that
they finally got her and that’s why she’s not in the reboot
The problem with Carly's boyfriend was that he punched walls when upset...like, ma'am THAT'S the red flag
He joins an MLM in the reboot. 🤣 that in itself is a red banner
I can confirm it’s a red flag because after a few months you turn into the wall that they punch, as if an object to be used 🙃
He was also 22 and she was 15 irl
I have a punching pillow for when I get angry. Really helps with playing dark souls.
But nooooo, the issue is him being into 'girly' stuff 🙄
30:40 An old comment pointed this out too though it's been buried, so it's worth repeating - this isn't all that convinces Carly's grandpa that Spencer is fit to look after her. After the cooking fire and it seeming inevitable that Carly is leaving, Spencer gives his grandpa lists of all sorts of things Carly likes - food, drink (distinguishing been soups and chowders, too) - and relays a lot of particulars like what sort of vitamins (dino-shaped) and coffee - because he knows she loves coffee - he gives her (decaf in secret.) All this made it clear to Grandpa Shay that he can in fact be a responsible, mature adult capable of looking after Carly, and the exchange with the inhaler (where Spencer gives it to his grandpa after Carly insists she doesn't need it anymore) sealed the deal. I think that's all quite important character detail; that for as dysfunctional as the character is portrayed he really does care, and is a positive older figure and role model in Carly's life.
Fred's mom probably says it's dangerous to put electronics near his head because she believes it will interfere with the tracking device
your MIND op
Exactly my thoughts. I think he overthought that a bit.
Biggus brainus MOMENTUS 🤯
i had the same theory!
ReaD this comment as he said it
Looking at Spencer's sculptures as an adult, I really like a lot of them. I don't think they say a lot culturally, and they wouldn't be great museum pieces, but each of them has so much joy and playfulness put into them that I could see them being great in an office or park or home or something. I really hope that the set dresser or whoever made them had fun doing it.
I think they'd fit in at contemporary art exhibits! A lot of art is like Spencer's, and there are museums dedicated to it.
Not to mention you can tell he actually put effort into all his sculptures.
Or a children’s museum !!
i want them in the Guggenheim
*ART* doesn't belong in a museum period
Edit: unless like faeries or elder gods (or one of the other outerversal nuisances) exist but that's hypothetical for now and thus a mute point

2021 Quinton making iBinged iCarly: "We have now finished the longest intermission in the history of intermissions."
2023 Quinton making The Decay of Sam & Cat: "I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you."
It's interesting to see Quinton go through his arc of finding a new bottom, saying how iCarly is sometimes hard to watch, and then miss the show when he's watching Victorious. Then missing Victorious when watching Sam & Cat. Truly a video essay about his video essays could be made in itself.
I just watched the Dan Schneider video. It feels like I’m living life out of order

What growth spurt
You should express yourself more respectful I think
@@Ryan-pg1tw what does that even mean
based sally face pfp
Still marveling at how Jerry Trainor handled these wildly inappropriate scenes with kids in the most respectful way possible and without his character having sexual undertones.
Jerry really does feel like the wacky, yet responsible adult that protected the kids from the whole thing being way, way worse.
One example is at 2:35:30. Many of the adults in the production of these shows took every opportunity to put their hands on the kids in some way or another. Meanwhile, Jerry has Miranda slung over his shoulder and carries her down the stairs while barely touching her. You can clearly see how respectful he is of her and the other kids in many different scenes like this.
He has a lot of integrity as an actor and a person as far as I can tell. Obviously, Spencer accounted for a large number of inappropriate and compromising situations involving the kids, but the tone is somehow a lot more innocent and lighthearted than most of the weird shit on the show. I could be totally biased in this opinion though, because I clearly love Jerry.
I 100% agree with you. He captures the wholesome big brother vibe so well. Quinton makes a joke about the scene where Spencer puts pop rocks in his mouth and puts his mouth over sam's ear being a crime, but to me it seems so much like something a goofy big brother would do that it doesn't seem weird to me
Yeah 100% agreed
@@veronicadar1382 Some times to annoy my little sis,i would munch near her ear and she would go 'ewww',it has the same feel.
Jerry was to Miranda, Jennette, Noah, and Nathan what Liz Gillies was to Ariana Grande; a person who would sort of step in Dan's way anytime he would get too close to them. Think of an alcoholic about to beat his kids getting stopped by one of their older siblings, that's basically what happened on set with Dan and the kid actors.
Yea even my parents liked him (they actually liked the show itself) they thought he was a fun character while still being a responsible adult, so many sitcoms have the responsible adult be bland and played for a joke so he was a nice change
i love coming back to this video 2 years later because you can barely notice just how soul-crushing of a journey quinton is about to go on
My head canon for the inconsistency of his mother's rules about electronic devices near Freddie's head, is that she was afraid other devices might interfere with the one in his head.

Or that she only trusts her devices because she made them herself
Freddie's mother must have that Chuck McGill disease.

I remember that the episode where Sam is put under anesthesia and tells Carly about the kiss gave me massive paranoia of undergoing anesthesia as a kid. I was so terrified of accidentally telling something embarassing to my parents
You know,,, I have been wondering were this fear of mine came from originally, because i definitely have that. Maybe I just found my answer.
SAME
I can’t believe we all thought being anesthetized was terrifying because of that one ep… I’m STILL scared I’d say some wacky stuff after going under
Luckily for me while the ep made me scared, in real life I have never had that kind of anesthesia, I have only had local anesthesia that just makes a part of my body numb, or the kind that just makes you unconscious, no weird drunk secret spilling anesthesia.
There was legit a post on Reddit where a man under anesthesia slapped a nurse’s or doctor’s ass and said something weird to her and when it was over he vaguely remembered. And he asked her if he did it and apologized, but she said it didn’t happen cuz she knew he didn’t mean it.
He was just freaking out cus he felt horrible but she wasn’t taking it to heart. Gotta feel bad for both of them.

Just got to point out something that's always bugged me: the shoe company threatens to sue iCarly if they break their contract and Spencer has to find a loophole to get them out, but, like... they were three minors who signed a contract without any guardians presents. Kind of feels like that would be a legal issue that would resolve itself.
Technically, the shoe company could make a contract with minors, but the contract is unenforceable. Basically, Carly and the gang could have just not performed their end of the contract and the shoe company couldn’t do shit about it, at least in terms of suing them.
If iCarly was incorporated as a company it could be sued independent of the age of its founders.

I got that purple iCarly Build-A-Bear for Christmas one year for my birthday. She was completely tricked out- ALL the bells and whistles. Including a voice box. A voice box that played the iCarly theme song whenever you touched it. And I mean. The entire iCarly theme song. The slightest jostle of this bear set off its internal speaker, Miranda Cosgrove crooning to me in the wee hours of the night. I didn't want to leave any of my stuffed animals off my bed because I didn't want any of them to feel left out, so I would essentially prop the iCarly bear up in a way where I hopefully wouldn't set it off. When I did, I learned to try to sleep through it, just letting it play out, too exhausted to do anything about it. That being said, if I'm ever in a coma and you need to figure out how to interact with me, just play the opening percussion of the iCarly theme song and I will stir, ever so slightly, to groan in despair.
I know
@@jorgemtzb9359 😱 ur psychic?
@@2cat4life You see
I HAD A VARIANT OF THAT BEAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING!!! eventually the voice box kind of croaked out over a period so the background music of the theme song would sound so cursed. i kept it in my closet after that.
I work at build a bear! We changed the sensitivity and volume on sounds for this very reason. Analog sounds typically are louder and easier to press, while digital sounds are quieter and take a much more deliberate press. That being said, I still wince whenever someone wants to put a pop song in their bear. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Your story does make me want to set the iCarly theme as my alarm though.

I guess Spencer is similar to Brian Griffen they both hook up with mostly one off chicks.
In "Married With Children," the writers had to write around the pregnancy of Katie Segal, and Peg Bundy got pregnant in the series. However, Katie had a miscarriage and lost the baby. Even though it created a plot hole, they agreed to not mention the pregnancy on air ever again, because it would be needlessly cruel to someone who endured a painful human loss. At the end of the day, this is all entertainment and a show, and what is that, in the face of loss like that? After that story, this makes me wonder about them keeping Sam a binge eater after the actress was sent to the hospital for an eating disorder.
yeah, after hearing jennette mccurdy talking about how much she suffered through this show I could never watch it again without feeling deeply uncomfortable. I mean, it wouldn't have been that hard either, to just stop making the character eat all the time. It's not like it was the only thing sam did in the show. Even more knowing how much that was making her situation worse, as stated by jennette herself
I detest that show, but if this story is true, I have a whole new respect for the writing and production staff. That is such a wonderful show of compassion and solidarity with their star.
And it is *infuriating* that Jeanette, a child, wasn't afforded a fraction of this compassion.
Oh god, still love that show
Aaand regarding Jenette Mccurdy, that does kind of put a downer on the show. Shows good, but jesus that's horrible

The thing about the “huge” iCarly fans not knowing Spencer was always confusing to me as well. In retrospect, it might have been a running gag, but the only punchline I can think of would be that those “huge iCarly fans” aren’t actually fans and only want to talk to Carly and the gang for clout.

Nobody is gonna read this, but this is like my 6th rewatch of this video and a memory was awoken in me
So when season 1 was airing for the first time, my parents saw me watching icarly with my sisters and their first impression of the show her 9 and 7 year old were watching was the joke about "Ms Briggs' pointy boobs" and we weren't allowed to watch it anymore. (before season 1 finished airing we were regularly watching it again despite that)
My friends at school knew about this, and in front of me talked about how funny "the episode where there's acid rain that turns people into candy" was, and FOR YEARS i watched and recorded icarly religiously hoping to see the damn acid rain episode that i was too gullible to realize was a complete fabrication

Yeah 😅 It’s also kinda bittersweet because he’s there as her guardian instead of their dad. I guess Gibby hasn’t seen or met their dad. I might be wrong but I only remember seeing him in the finale
It's especially funny to me because it's what I thought at first when I was younger
When I was younger my mom made me do beauty pageants and at the pageants they had to ask us questions. One of the questions was along the lines of “Who do you look up too the most?” or “Who do you aspire to be?” and I said “Spencer from Icarly...” I remember everyone laughing at me, but I was dead serious,,, and now I do art 👍

happy you called out the weird pattern of neurodivergent hate throughout the show- As an autistic person it just really really sucks to see played off for laughs and seen as normal.
Random side note: In the iQuit iCarly episode, when T-Bo drops the smoothie he spreads his arms and lets it fall. After having been a cook, this is something that's drilled into you in any kind of food prep training. You should NEVER try to catch anything that falls. (You don't want to try to grab a knife or burning hot food.) I just personally think that was an interesting detail and wonder if the writers were just going for whatever looked funniest or actually had some kind of knowledge about the subject.
Interesting I didn't know that
It might have been a stage direction from the writers, a good call by the director, or the actor himself. All are plausible because on any given filming set, 75% of your people have worked food service if not more lol
What if maybe the guy was actually a cook in real life and it happened on instinct
I saw the same thing! Raising my hands and taking a step back from things falling is so ingrained in me that I do it when dropping things that definitely won't hurt me(pillows, bread, etc)
arguably the joke could be that a smoothie isn't hot
The thing about Freddie being shorter and looking so much younger than the girls is kind of interesting because although that's not what you'd expect from a TV show, in real life, teenage boys do look younger than girls their age.
Puberty hits girls earlier, so there's a brief period where teen girls will end up taller than the boys their same age, only for the boys to eventually hit puberty a couple years later and outgrow them again. Which is what we see here! I agree, I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often.
@@MasterOphSky I always liked that gag where Freddie finally overpowers Carly after she spent the first season manhandling him, its a nice bit of character development like "yeah, Freddie's not so much of a dweeb anymore"
It’s fairly common and explains why they often cast older guys even when their female character is actually a teen. Especially in that middle school age. You often see guys super tall with facial hair walking the hall beside little guys who look like they belong back in elementary school.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Haha yeah I was one of those late bloomers. I was the third shortest kid in my middle school graduation grade, but now I’m taller than a lot of the same friends I’ve known since then.
puberty can hit girls as young as 8 years old while for boys it pretty much never starts until 14-15
now hold on.
They wanted Spencer to prove he was a responsible adult? HE DID JUST THAT!?
like seriously the "I don't [think she looks good], but she's a teen, you've gotta let her express herself" is one of the best lessons a show for kids can teach to both its intended audience and their parents!
yeah but i feel like that gets overshadowed by the fire that breaks out.
It's such a nice little detail, how Spencer *does* handle it well, just not in a way Grandad approves of. If Spencer had handled it badly, we'd feel less good seeing him keep custody of Carly in the end.
@@breadeater1194 I agree its a great detail.
sadly, teens expressing themselves usually means sex, drugs and doing dumb shit. id know because i was a teen and did exactly that.
@@Farrowstrike well yeah, but the difference is shes not hurting anybody through her choice of outfit. its a process of self discovery that harms nobody. im pretty sure spencer wouldnt let carly snort coke or throw rocks at cars...
30:00 honestly as a parent I think Spencer made the right call by not freaking out over Carly’s makeover. He’s right that kids want to express themselves and allowing Carly to do so in a relatively harmless way without freaking out about it is good for her development. While goofy, I found that Spencer was a good caretaker when it counted and this moment was a good example.

Also when the show was being promoted i never wanted to watch it bc the scene where Spencer shot milk out of his eyes grossed me out. And then until maybe the final year of its original run I had thought the second episode was the premiere episode and never seen the pilot until then. I was nine when the show started. Baby me was a time

i am late diagnosed autistic. as a child i acted a lot like the character from icarly, making animal noises and getting so passionating excited about appearently small things. i became the joke, the punchline, the punching bag because of this. the first few times watching the episode where they introduce the fan, i always mistaken the message behind it. i related with the girl and thought it had a lighthearted sweet meaning behind it, somehow not noticing the laughtracks or how the other characters reacted to the girl's behavior. i was too focused on her, relating with her and seeing myself in her and really really liking her. then, later when this episode came on i excitedly made my parents watch it with me. it being my favorite episode at the time i wanted my parents to see it. but.. during it they laughed at the "jokes". the girl that was supposed to be the punchline when she was only acting like herself. i noticed my parents laughing. then i noticed the laugh track. the way the characters reacted. it all finally clicked. this is the one of the first times i had realized that i was the punchline, the gimmick and to this day i look back on that and it still impacts me. im diagnosed autistic now and.. it all makes sense, but before it didn't.

2 days after you made this comment, it was revealed that Peter Jackson's documentary film The Beatles: Get Back has been expanded to a six-hour docuseries instead
Looking back, I think the reason why iCarly felt more genuine than any of the other Nick teen dramas is because it was the last show to actually focus on a bunch of kids in a plausably normal kids life. It's successors would all put kids into situations that are at best, college level enviroments, if not outright adult enviroments and the joke being "these kids are doing an adult job". Worse is the latter type almost always devolve back to normal highschool drama, which not only feels out of place (as they often have to contrive a reason why someone who is clearly no longer needing school still needs to care about school matters), but also render the original gimmick pointless.
