==F==
* [[Face Doodling]]: Sam's prank to sleeping students whenever Ridgeway High has an all-nighter, snapshot them and upload it in the internet. Carly remarks that Sam's doodles are "accurate".
* [[Face Palm]]: Spencer balls his fist onto his face when the European swimsuit models dance goofily.
** Carly slaps her forehead with her palm upon learning Sam's mom has no idea what iCarly is.
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Gibby in ''iWin a Date'', doubling as [[Comically Missing the Point]] .
{{quote|
'''Gibby''': How would I know which one is Shannon?
'''Sam''': Listen. There will be 3 girls: Girl Number 1, '''GIRL NUMBER 2''', and Girl Number 3.
'''Gibby''': So, which one is Shannon?
'''Carly''': If you want '''TWO''' go on a date with Shannon, you got '''TWO''' choose carefully.
'''Carly & Sam''': That is all you have '''TWO''' do.
'''Gibby''': O-kaaaaay! }}
** Freddie in ''iBeat the Heat'':
{{quote|
'''Freddie''': A hundred and four degrees.
'''Carly''': Uuuuugh. (runs toward thermostat)
'''Freddie''': [[Captain Obvious|Try to make it cooler in here.]]
(Carly ''glares'' back at Freddie)
'''Freddie''': Which is probably what you're doing.
'''Carly''': (deadpan) Uh-huh! }}
** Spencer's overexcitement on the girl he just met at the ending of ''iThink They Kissed'' made him not notice that her little sister and her best friends are duct-taped against each other.
* [[Fandom Nod]]: The first promo for the episode ''iStart A Fan War'' directly uses the [[Portmanteau Couple Name]] for both major pairings both in the voice over and graphics. In-universe direct references can be easily justified by the idea that as a popular online webshow, the shipping fan groups would probably actually exist in-universe as well.
** ''iLost My Mind'' has Freddie directly respond to Seddie shippers who ignore Freddie's feelings.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: In-universe, the Creddie and Seddie shippers that go to Webicon.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Guppy: Mini-Gibby.
* [[Fan Service]]: ''iCarly Awards''. Since half of the episode are FROM fans, the other half is made FOR fans. Let's see: [[Ms. Fanservice|Carly and Sam in eye-catching outfits]], [[Hot Men At Work|dancing shirtless male European models only in trunks]], videos of freaky and unusual abilities, and eyes squirting out milk or extending a snake-long tongue.
** ''iBeat the Heat'' has both [[Ms. Fanservice|Carly AND Sam]] in very skimpy summer outfits. Very ''HOT'' indeed.
* [[Fan Service Pack]]: Freddie went from being a young [[Stalker with a Crush]] to being a rather attractive young man.
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
** Firstly, how the teachers at the school behave towards the students, but don't get into trouble. One example would be in ''iHave My Principals'' where one of the teachers gives Gibby a detention for ''being too Gibby'', and they introduce uniforms in about a day.
** Secondly, Sam should have been expelled and in juvie by now, even with Carly as a [[Morality Pet]].
* [[First Kiss]]: The subject of an episode regarding Freddie's admittance of not having one and Sam mocking him for it ''on the air.'' In the aftermath of the fight about Sam broadcasting it to the world, Sam [[Ass Pull|reveals]] that she hasn't had her first kiss either, and the two end up sharing their first kiss together later in the episode.
* [[First Name Ultimatum]]: "Gibby!"
* [[555]]: 1-555-SEND-ME-A-SACK
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
*** Freddie has started dismissing Carly, ignoring her, blowing her off and generally treating her like shit.
*** Sam's antagonism and fighting with Freddie was blown up in both ''iDate Sam & Freddie'' and ''iCan't Take It''. While she has screwed with Freddie in the past, in ''iCan't Take It'', she sabotages Freddie's science camp simply because he didn't know what time it was when she asked him.
*** Also Carly has become dumber. While she was never [[The Simpsons (animation)|Lisa Simpson]], she was a good student at the very least, She complained about not getting a well-deserved A in a class. As well as being generally pretty smart, she also worked hard on her schooling to get her first ever straight a's. She was also much more book smart than Sam to the point where she was accepted into a private school that even Freddie wasn't. But now she seems but now she seems just barely smart enough to live. This didn't happen all at once, but gradually over time, coming to a head in season 5. Like in the space episode, she can't pronounce claustrophobic, even though she is claustrophobic. In ''iQ'' she has to fake/cheat being intelligent to try and impress a guy when the old Carly would've have been able to at least hold the conversation easily.
* [[Florence Nightingale Effect]]: Carly towards Freddie in ''iSaved Your Life''.
* [[Flynning]]: Anyone who has ever seen or participated in ANY form of fencing knows it bears little resemblance to the random swinging that Freddie and Spencer were doing. While this is excusable as they were probably playing around, the actual match against Toder still had them using incorrect equipment and disregarding basic rules of the sport.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
** Storge (Family): Carly and Spencer. You could argue to place Carly and Sam here instead of Phileo.
** Phileo (Friendship): Carly and Sam. Carly towards Freddie. Sam and Freddie both tell each other they love the other after breaking up in ''iLove You''.
** Agape (Unconditional/Self Sacrifice): Freddie towards Carly, who seems to love Carly unconditionally no matter where their relationship lies with regards to Phileo and Eros. He has proven his ability to self-sacrifice for her, being almost killed in order to save Carly from being killed herself by pushing her out of the way of a truck in one episode.
** Eros (Romantic): Based on the [[Love Dodecahedron]], the Carly/Freddie/Sam trio have probably seen each other as Eros at least a few times, like during iSaved Your Life, and the Seddie arc.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Carly is sanguine, Sam is choleric, Freddie is melancholic, whilst Spencer fits into phlegmatic by way of being an artist who rarely interacts with anyone apart from the rest of the trio (his sister's friends), and his one single friend, Socko. He has girlfriends, but all are fleeting.
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
** Carly is an extreme claustrophobe. When locked in a small room or even a fake Space Shuttle, she can freak out quite spectacularly.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Sam as part of her [[Anti-Hero]] or [[Draco in Leather Pants]] semi-villainous character build. See ''iSell Penny Tees'', for how her mother's behaviour influences her behaviour towards the children.
* [[Freudian Trio]]: [[The McCoy|Sam]], the voracious and meat-loving brawn ('''id'''); [[The Spock|Freddie]], the goody-two-shoes and cool-headed brains ('''superego'''); and [[The Kirk|Carly]] is the main link of the trio's friendship and mediator between the two ('''ego'''). Whenever Carly and Sam gets into a quarrel, Freddie takes over the mediator role.
* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]: Despite most of the second half of Season 3 airing on Fridays (mostly while they still had more episodes to air and when ''[[Big Time Rush]]'' needed more publicity), it managed to avert this and still did pretty well in its slot most of the time, getting solid audiences there often. The ''iSpace Out'' special had over 5 million viewers even in the presence of a new episode of ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'' airing at the same time. And when ''iGot a Hot Room'' aired in the summer, it aired against another new episode of the same show and absolutely ''obliterated'' its ratings. However, ''iStart a Fan War'' didn't exactly stand out as well as one would have expected, scoring only 5.02 million viewers. [[Harry Potter and
** Justified - All first-run television series targeted at preteens and young teenagers (whether they have a [[Periphery Demographic]] like ''iCarly'' or not), will generally receive better ratings on Friday or Saturday nights due to the lowered ratings standards for cable television and the fact that such shows target a younger audience than broadcast network shows, that would most likely be too young to date/go spend time with friends outside the home by themselves. Therefore the type of ratings that a tween series like ''iCarly'' gets in a first-run airing would often get a series cancelled/put it in danger of cancellation on network television than it would on cable.
* [[Friendless Background]]: Sam fits this best with ''iChristmas'', and ''iTwins'' in mind.
** Freddie also has a lot of friends besides the girls, since he is a member of lots of extra-curricular clubs in school, implied in his blog and ''iMeet Fred''.
** Carly at least was shown working with Wendy for a project in ''iDate a Bad Boy'', as noted by [[Word of God]] for that episode. Missy also shows up talking about their friendship when Carly lived in California. There is also the possibility that she became friendless after moving from California, until Sam showed up, and then she subsequently gained a wider circle of friends as she grew up.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Sam and Freddie in Season 2 onwards, wherein [[With Friends Like These...|season 1 they were forced to work together]] out of their [[Les Yay|mutal]] [[Just Friends|interest]] in Carly.
* [[Friends Rent Control]]: As stated in ''iPilot'', their loft has 3 floors with its own ELEVATOR. There are various fan theories for how they afford this (their father pays for it, Spencer's art makes a lot of money, etc.).
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In "iPsycho", a clown had an aneurysm and died for an in-episode example. This was played for [[Black Humour]], so is a literal [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]].
* [[Fun Personified]]: Spencer
* [[Fun T-Shirt]]: The various ''Penny Tee's'' that the iCarly crew wear. Examples include ''Peanut Butter Love'', ''Parole Baby'', and ''[[Dan Schneider|Danwarp Tweets]]''.
** Add ''Bacon Farm'' to that list. It goes to the top of the list - or should we say, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|to the front?]]
==G==
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Sasha Striker in the episode ''iStage an Intervention'' who set the record for highest [[Pac-Man|Pak Rat]] score.
** Sam is also shown numerous times playing rhythm games, and Carly is shown a few times as well.
* [[Geeky Turn On]]: Carly seemed to get pretty turned on by Freddie's tech talk in ''iSaved Your Life'', calling it cute and geeky, and coining the word 'cukey'.
* [[Gender Equal Ensemble]] - Interpretation of exactly what 'counts' for the trope can lead to this trope being played straight or averted depending on the cast combination used.
Line 102 ⟶ 106:
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: ''iWill Date Freddie'' evokes this twice.
** During Freddie's date with Valerie.
{{quote|
'''Carly:''' But that's spying. We can't spy on Freddie on his first date!
(cue the girls slumping on beanbags watching the livestream on the monitor)
'''Carly:''' We're bad people. }}
** When Valerie "seduces" Sam to sever her ties from iCarly and join Valerie instead.
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' Believe me, I won't.
(cue back at the Shay's loft)
'''Carly:''' She '''[[Big "What?"|WHAT]]'''?!<br />
'''Sam:''' That skunkbag tried to steal me too! }}
** ''iSpeed Date'': Sam refuses to go to the Groovy Smoothie with Freddie, thinking he, Carly and Spencer can handle all the guys themselves. Cut to the Groovy Smoothie with 752 guys...and the whole group.
** Also, from ''iQuit iCarly'', when the Pirates try to take over Spencer's boat:
{{quote|
(cut to Spencer and Gibby being thrown into a dumpster)
'''Spencer:''' (sticks his head out of the dumpster) ...They took over our boat. }}
** ''iGet Pranky'': Carly tells Spencer not to go getting all prank-happy on people. Spencer says that he won't. Take a wild guess as to what happens next.
* [[Girliness Upgrade]]: The focus of the episode "iMake Sam Girlier".
* [[Girl Next Door]]: Carly is Freddie's female front-door neighbor he fell in love with "at first sight".
* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]]: In ''iOwe You'', [[Alpha Bitch|the mean teenage]] Sunshine Girls who are rivaling Spencer for their selling spot at the supermarket. Subverted with the [[Shrinking Violet|incredibly-shy]] [[Moe]] Emily who is the daughter of the hot mother Spencer is helping.
* [[Go Look At the Distraction]]: In iOwe You, Sam tells Freddie his relative got hurt, sending him running back to his apartment, so she could cry to Carly without him seeing.
** In ''iQuit iCarly'', Sam distracts Carly's group by calling out Ryan Seacrest. They fall for it, prompting Sam to occupy the scaffolding venue first.
Line 126 ⟶ 130:
* [[Glass-Shattering Sound]]
* [[Godiva Hair]]. Non-Nude version for Sam in ''iQuit iCarly''.
* [[Go Mad
* [[Good Is Not Dumb]]: Carly sees the best in people, but if betrayed or oppressed, will come up with a scheme like having a massive in-school riot to get the good principal back.
** She does enter the [[Stupid Good]] territory sometimes, like in ''iSell Penny Tees'' where she paid all the kids in advance as part of opposing Sam's methods, causing the kids to disregard the work altogether.
Line 137 ⟶ 141:
** Mrs. Benson's "What the ''YUCK''?" when she caught Carly kissing Freddie passionately in ''iSaved Your Life''.
** A highlight in ''iMove Out'':
{{quote|
'''Mrs. Benson''': You better end that with '''gosh'''.
'''Freddie''': Dear gosh, please make her leave. }}
** "Shoosh yeah" is a common [[Unusual Euphemism|euphemism]].
Line 153 ⟶ 157:
* [[G-Rated Drug]]: Fat Cakes are treated as such in ''iToe Fat Cakes'' when the group tries to cross the border.
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Freddie, most notable in mid-season 2 episodes and beyond.
==H==
* [[Hacker Cave]]: "Well, we found Nevel's nerd cave."
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Melanie
* [[Ham
* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: At the very least, Spencer and Carly's father. Possibly their mother, if she's alive. Most of the time Carly is the one taking care of Spencer, so he doesn't really count either. Sam's mom would be a "lives with the child" version of this. Mrs. Benson is the [[My Beloved Smother|exact opposite]].
** ''iSpace Out'' implied that their dad is stationed overseas for so long, he's not even aware that Spencer had dropped out of law school.
** Spencer has his moments of parenting (''iWanna Stay With Spencer'' being a prime example), and he has his moments of [[Hands-Off Parenting]], like in ''iGot Detention'':
{{quote|
'''Carly:''' Yeah.
'''Spencer:''' Should I be concerned?
'''Carly:''' Not really.
'''Spencer:''' Later! }}
* [[Hand Wave]]: ''iDate Sam & Freddie'' ends with a serious talk where Carly tells Sam and Freddie they need to sort out their dysfunctional relationship and actually solve problems together. They spent the entire episode fighting constantly. The next episode ignores that plot completely and has Sam and Freddie working together just fine, ignoring and hand waving away that Sam and Freddie have 'worked' on their problem.
Line 173 ⟶ 178:
** Carly, Sam and Freddie when they watched Nevel's [[Jerkass]] video that caused him to be a social outcast.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Nevel's [[Sarcasm Mode|evil plan]] is to destroy iCarly.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: If you only watched iWill Date Freddie (from season 1) when it originally premiered, the joke about Valerie wanting to date Freddie that Sam makes isn't harsh at all, just typical Sam versus Freddie banter. But if you've seen iLost My Mind, then watch iWDF it becomes harsher and ironic. Sam tells Valerie ..."to email the address of the mental hospital she is staying in and he'll meet ya there." Implying that someone would have to be crazy to like Freddie. Fast forward nearly 4 years into the future and in iLost My Mind, when Freddie tells( and shows) Sam that he likes her too, guess where he does it. A mental hospital. Why is she there? She thinks she is crazy for liking Freddie. Both occurrences took place live on their webshow. So its possible that fans of the webshow in-universe also might be aware of this.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Nevel ended up being on good terms with the iCarly gang.}}
* [[Hell Hotel]]: '''[[It Makes Sense in Context|Come On Inn]]'''. It's not scary, but the fact that the room Sam reserved is dilapidated by a shootout and a crime scene, coupled by poor maintenance and a hobo waiting outside the window with easy access will sure get the creeps out of anyone.
Line 179 ⟶ 184:
* [[High School Dance]]: Although the actual dance is never shown, ''iSpeed Date'' revolves around the trio finding a date to the Sadie Hawkins/Girls Choice dance. [[Ship Tease|Carly and Freddie end up slow dancing together after their crappy dates leave.]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: ''iEnrage Gibby'' focused on Gibby's [[Unstoppable Rage]] side, as well as this dialogue.
{{quote|
'''Carly''': Yeah, a little.
'''Freddie''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Wow, that's never been established.]] }}
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Sam is a hilariously abusive childhood in progress. It isn't hard to imagine how bad it could be, with a father who has apparently abandoned them, a mother who is most likely an alcoholic at the least, is constantly in jail, just like most of the rest of her family. All played for laughs on the show though.
** One has to remember, though, that Melanie apparently spends most, if not all, of the year in a boarding school. Therefore she'd turn out okay, she doesn't ''have'' to deal with Mrs. Puckett.
** Freddie's childhood is Hilariously Abusive in the [[My Beloved Smother|opposite way.]]
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: ''iBloop'', entirely dedicated to the bloopers and outtakes of the cast throughout the series.
** A sequel (iBloop 2: [[wikipedia:
* [[Hippie Teacher]]: Mr. Henning. He loves nature, disproves of modern methods (or rather just major energy wasting ones), and takes students on a Root and Berry Retreat.
{{quote|
'''Mr. Henning''': Spencer? That's me.
'''Spencer''': What? (pauses) Oh. }}
* [[History Repeats]]: In ''iAm Your Biggest Fan'', Carly recalls Spencer's present for her then 14th birthday is a lava lamp that burst into flames (and then exploded). And when Spencer makes her a gummy bear lamp for her 16th birthday...
Line 198 ⟶ 203:
** ''iChristmas'' tops this with a [[It's a Wonderful Life]] premise (a granted wish that gives unexpected circumstances; the protagonist is someone's [[Morality Chain]]) with hints of [[A Charlie Brown Christmas]] ([[Aluminum Christmas Trees|Spencer's electromagnetic tree]] and Carly's small Christmas tree).
** The [[Paintball Episode]] ''iSaved Your Life'' with its amusing homage to HBO's [[The Wire]], episode ''Late Editions''.
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' You look good, Gib. (Shoots him in the forehead with a paintball) }}
** The Random Debates at icarly.com have taken place in a wall very much like the iconic ''[[Laugh In]]'' joke wall.
Line 212 ⟶ 217:
** Nevel in ''iPity the Nevel''.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Taken to the extreme in ''iPity the Nevel'' by the main trio, most especially their Karma Party for Nevel's "fall from grace" where they serve chicken karm-esan, karma-corn, karma-apples, and later "Karm-again!"
{{quote|
'''Freddie''': ''Just desserts''. (Impressed by his own pun) Oh! Oh!
(Carly and Sam cheer him on) }}
* [[Hypothetical Casting]]: [[Miranda Cosgrove]] wants [[Tina Fey]] to be her [[Missing Mom]].
Line 219 ⟶ 224:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Many of the episodes use this a lot. Each character even has at least one of these.
** While Gibby walks out of the studio:
{{quote|
'''Freddie''': (turns to stare at Carly)
'''Carly''': Sorry. }}
** When the gang is cleaning up the mess of the police stakeout:
{{quote|
** Same episode and scene:
{{quote|
'''Freddie:''' (turns to stare at Sam)
'''Sam:''' ''(grins widely)'' }}
** After Spencer's high-powered sculpture destroyed their longest webcast World Record attempt:
{{quote|
'''Carly, Sam, Freddie''': (ALL stare at Spencer)
'''Spencer''': Oh yeah. }}
** When discussing about the Dingo Channel:
{{quote|
'''Carly''': You forgot to wear pants ''again''.
'''Spencer''': Oh my god. }}
** Same episode, when Sam forcefully invites Gibby for the Bikini Dog Food Fight:
{{quote|
'''Gibby''': Because I have some dignity!
'''Sam''': Since when?
'''Gibby''': (leaves, but returns shortly) OK. No fighting, no dog food, but I'll wear the bikini top. }}
==I==
* [[I Ate What?]]: Done many times. After coming back from a jog with his
{{quote|'''
'''Veronica''': What is it?!
'''Spencer''': I don't know! }}
* [[I Can't Hear You]]: Freddie to Carly in ''iFence'', so she won't stop them from going to the fencing studio.
{{quote|
'''Carly:''' ''(Gasp)'' But we're not talking on cell phones!
'''Freddie:''' Byeeee! ''(He and Spencer run out).'' }}
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]
* [[Idiot Ball]]: All of them. Spencer is especially prone, as he can switch between intelligent protective older brother into someone who will build a machine seemingly intended to fling hammers at high velocity at head height, or a "sculpture" which seems tailor-made to catch fire at random.
** Carly in ''iSell Penny Tees''. Why on earth would she pay the kids up front? They were apparently being paid $10 a day, there were at least a half-dozen of them, so she'd have paid out anywhere from $400 to $1000.
* [[If It Was Funny the First Time]]: Spencer's works bursting into flames is a recurring gag that was somehow toned down in Season 3, but becomes another plot device in the Season 4 premiere ''iGot a Hot Room''.
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]] Carly is a type A while Freddie has shown signs of being a type B.
* [[Imagine Spot]]: In ''iFind Lewbert's Lost Love'' Carly and Freddie have a synchronous daydream on how life in the Bushwell will be much better if the irate doorman Lewbert is "a happy man". Carly, Freddie and Lewbert dance around as balloons fall. [[Deadpan Snarker|Sam breaks them out of their over-the-top fantasy]].
{{quote|
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: In ''iHave My Principals''
{{quote|
'''Mr. Howard''': Oh, please! I know you put that big snapping turtle in the teachers' toilet.
'''Sam''': You got it on video?
'''Mr. Howard''': ...no.
'''Sam''': Then I didn't do it. }}
* [[Improbable Food Budget]]: [[Zig Zagged]]: It seems like the food they waste for comedic purposes on the websow is better than the food Carly and Spencer actually eat.
Line 268 ⟶ 274:
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: Being a comedy.. uses these quite often. Specific examples include ''hobo'' to the point it's become unfunny, Gibby being called a shirtless ''potato''. They once used ''doodle'' as part of ''fladoodles'' an invented snack item and ''Yak'' as part of ''Yakima''.
** Also repeated mentions of the word ''ointment'', which the creator himself has admitted is "just a funny word."
* [[In
* [[Inner Monologue Conversation]]: In [[
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: The ''iCarly'' trio all prefer to be known by nicknames rather than their names: Carly is Carlotta, [[Tomboyish Name|Sam]] is Samantha, and Freddie is [[Embarrassing First Name|Fredward]]. There's also their classmate Jeremy aka "Germy," the kid with the perpetual allergies.
** Sam is fond of coming up with [[Embarrassing Nickname
* [[Instant Web Hit]]
* [[Insult Backfire]]: Freddie in the end of ''iHeart Art''. He takes the insults so well because he gets $5 richer for each insult Sam made as part of their bet, to the point he doubled the $40 Spencer gave him.
* [[Insult to Rocks]]: In ''iWin A Date'':
{{quote|
(Freddie rolls his eyes)
'''Carly:''' No! It's a clown!
'''Sam:''' Oops. Sorry, Clown. }}
* [[Intoxication Ensues]]: In ''iThink They Kissed'' Sam gets high from the dentist's nitrous oxide, and loses the ability to censor herself.
Line 286 ⟶ 292:
* [[Irony as She Is Cast]]: Miranda Cosgrove has a [http://storage.people.com/jpgs/20091014/20091014-750-72.jpg talent in drawing]. But as Carly, she can't even make a good drawing of a bunny.
* [[I Take Offense to That Last One]]: In ''iDo'', Spencer is [[Self-Deprecation|more than willing to swallow the kids' insults to him]] to "turn off" the bride Jodi, except...
{{quote|
'''Spencer:''' I'm a mess.
'''Carly:''' Such a mess!
'''Sam:''' He has no job.
'''Spencer:''' Who would hire me?
'''Freddie:''' He doesn't hang out with anyone his own age.
'''Spencer:''' I've never been popular!
'''Carly:''' He drinks milk in the shower.
'''Spencer:''' All naked and wet!
'''Carly:''' Oh, and he has not a steady girlfriend since high school.
'''Spencer:''' Oh, maybe not a steady girlfriend per se...
'''Sam:''' [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking|And look at his flat butt.]]<br />
'''Spencer:''' TOO FAR! }}
** [[Ship Tease|Why was Sam looking at his butt anyway?]]
*** Because "It's like two fresh apples back there!" It may just be something she noticed spending time around Spencer, given that she [[Drop
* [[It's All About Me]]: Lampshaded by Freddie in regards to Sam in ''iHurt Lewbert''.
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' Oh, good. We could've been in so much trouble.
'''Freddie:''' Can't you ever think of anyone besides yourself?
'''Sam:''' I could, but I choose not to. }}
* [[It's a Small Net After All]]: When looking for information on baby chicks for a science projects, Freddie types "chicks" into the search engine and gets "Chickapedia."
Line 312 ⟶ 318:
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: "Not Suzie. It's ''Su-ZAY''."
* [[IProduct]]: iCarly.
{{quote|
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: A group of "bullies" ''invade'' Spencer's prize boat; said group are members of the ''Pirates'' baseball team.
** Sam blows her nose on a handful of noodles, which Gibby and Guppy unknowingly eat later.
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' Uh, it could be a lot of cheese sauce...
'''Carly:''' But it it'''s not'''. }}
** Carly's expression to Spencer's words clearly invokes this trope in ''iFence'': "He sliced my banana!"
Line 322 ⟶ 328:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Freddie pulls out of the relationship with Carly in ''iSaved Your Life'' because he doesn't want to take advantage if Carly wasn't thinking straight about being smitten over being indebted to him.
** Aside from ''iDate a Bad Boy'', another example is ''iStart a Fan War''. Freddie is evidently jealous about Carly's flings with other boys, but the latter has him rather being supportive that Carly likes Adam and reprimands Sam to pacify the riot she made. Though Freddie's schadenfreude toward the [[Romantic False Lead]] is still there.
==J==
* [[Japanese Ranguage]]: The voice-operated Japanese lamp turns on and off by saying "RANPU!" like an angry Japanese man.
* [[Jerkass]]: Sam in her less sympathetic moments, Lewbert the doorman, Nevel, Wade Collins.
** This quote by Sam says it best:
{{quote|
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Sam, usually under Carly's influence.
* [[Just for Pun]]: [[Pungeon Master|Both Shay siblings]]. They are even aware of the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cheesiness of their joke]].
** In ''iNevel'', Spencer is repairing his commissioned statue made of butter.
{{quote|
''(Spencer looks around the room)''
'''Spencer''': "Thank god no one heard that." }}
** In ''iFind Lewbert's Lost Love'', Spencer is annoyed because of the recent remote control thefts.
{{quote|
'''Carly''': ''(stifles laughter)'' "A ''remote control freak''?"
''(Spencer sprays whipped cream on Carly's nose bridge)'' }}
** In ''iEnrage Gibby'', Spencer tries to convince Veronica that he is not really "dead", much to the fright of the girl.
{{quote|
'''Carly''': "If you had a twin brother, why would his name need to sound similar to yours?" }}
** In ''iFix A Popstar'', Wade Collins is brought up on the webshow.
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' "Ohohoho, Carly..." ''(looks away in horror)'' }}
** In ''iQuit iCarly'', as they introduce Fleck and Dave.
{{quote|
'''Carly:''' "Which is the opposite of low-larious." ''(chuckles)''
'''Sam:''' "I begged her not to say that."
'''Carly:''' "I should have listened." }}
** In ''iRue The Day'', Spencer asks Carly which of two pairs of luminescent socks he should wear when the Plain White T's come to iCarly. She distractedly tells him to wear one of each. He loves the idea and congratulates his little sister for "thinking out of the ''socks''." Then he laughs at his own pun, while the trio simply stares.
** ''iPity The Nevel'' has quite a few. Notably, Gibby asks Freddie what kind of food you have at a Karma party (a party where you celebrate the misery of your enemies) and Freddie answers "Just desserts." Even [[With Friends Like These...|Sam]] slaps him five for that one.
* [[Just Friends]]: Carly and Freddie. Since their first appearance together, in the first episode, Freddie has wanted to be more than friends, whilst Carly just wants to be friends.
** The roles are reversed in ''iSaved Your Life''. Carly is now very willing to be Freddie's girlfriend, but Freddie became aware that she might only have loved him "for saving her", not "as himself". [[Status Quo Is God|Freddie tells Carly that they remain the way they used to be]] and [[Relationship Upgrade|they both agree that they could resume their relationship once Freddie recovers and if Carly still has her feelings for him]].
