ICarly/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

** The child-labour sweatshop in ''iSell Penny Tees''.

** Sam being disrespectful to the First Lady.

** When Spencer almost leaves Sam in Canada, and says something like, "I'd be in trouble if she had a parent who cared!"

* [[Ear Worm]]: The title song 'Leave It All To Me'.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Wendy was a popular character in the earlier seasons of the show, before she [[Brother Chuck|vanished]].

Line 46:

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Freddie tells Sam that she has been acting very differently ever since Brad showed up in ''iOMG''.

* [[Periphery Demographic]]: [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] is probably the main reason this show attracts a big audience away from it's teen demographic.

* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Nora. Definitely psycho and she kissed another girl.

* [[Relationship Writing Fumble]]: Carly and Spencer had an incestuous dynamic similar to [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Justin/Alex]] or [[Chuck|Ellie/Chuck]].

** Then came the even more blatant Sam/Carly undertones. Although the fumble may have been deliberate considering [[Dan Schneider]] and his penchant for including hidden [[Ho Yay]] and [[Les Yay]] in his supposedly teenage focused shows.

Line 195:

** Spencer, artist by day, porn star by night.

* [[One True Threesome]]: Carly/Freddie/Sam. Known mostly as Crediam.

* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: Creddie (Carly/Freddie), Seddie (Sam/Freddie), Spam (Spencer/Sam, very humorously considering Sam's love of meat), and Cam (Carly/Sam). There's also [[Squick|Crediam/Seddily (Carly/Freddie/Sam)]] [[~~OT 3~~]]... right.

* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: Creddie (Carly/Freddie), Seddie (Sam/Freddie), Spam (Spencer/Sam, very humorously considering Sam's love of meat), and Cam (Carly/Sam). There's also [[Squick|Crediam/Seddily (Carly/Freddie/Sam)]] [[OT3]]... right.

* [[Purity Sue]]: Subverted. Like [[Zoey 101]] before and [[Victorious|Tori Vega]] after, Carly exhibits symptoms of being a Purity Sue early in the shows run. Carly grows out of them throughout multiple episodes in Season 2. Full details are included at the [[ICarly/Analysis|iCarly Analysis page]].

Line 205:

** One of the trio's classmates in ''iHave a Lovesick Teacher'' is Ashley Argota, later known in another Nick sitcom, [[True Jackson, VP]].

** James Maslow who played Shane, the object of Carly and Sam's affection in "iSaw Him First" made into a major starring role in Nick's sitcom ''[[Big Time Rush]]''.

** Eric Nelsen, who played Zeke in ''iDream of Dance'', later played the [[Jerk Jock]] Brett in [[~~Thirteen (theatre)|~~13]]

** Eric Nelsen, who played Zeke in ''iDream of Dance'', later played the [[Jerk Jock]] Brett in [[13]]

** iGo to Japan's Yuki is played by Harry Shum Jr., of [[Glee]] and Web Original [[Legion of Extraordinary Dancers]], as well as the [[Step Up]] movies.

** [[Victorious|Tori Vega and André Harris]] played Shelby Marx in ''iFight Shelby Marx'' and Harper in ''iCarly Saves TV'' respectively. Trina showed up at Nora's party in ''iPsycho''.

Line 226:

*** Seddie (Sam/Freddie), [[Slap Slap Kiss]].

*** Creddie (Carly/Freddie), [[Just Friends]].

*** Creddiam [[~~OT 3~~|(Carly/Freddie/Sam).]]

*** Creddiam [[OT3|(Carly/Freddie/Sam).]]

*** Cam (Carly/Sam), [[Les Yay]] and [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]].

*** Spam (Spencer/Sam), [[May-December Romance]].

Line 249:

* [[The Ships Motor]]: Seddie shippers use a reply that [[Word of God]] left on his blog as their motor. It's along the lines of "their bickering is a game they've been playing since the sixth grade, and maybe they are afraid to stop playing". The 'game' idea has never come up on the show, and the only reference to the sixth grade is that was when Freddie first met and fell in love with Carly. The reasonable idea is that any 'game' is their inability admit they really care for each other. The Sam/Freddie shippers take it as the 'game' is wilfully ignoring romantic feelings for each other because they enjoy fighting, and one-day will stop playing and [[Relationship Upgrade|get together]].

** Sam being bi is a big piece of fanon that's very useful in bringing out Carly's [[If It's You It's Okay]] feelings for her in the Carly/Sam fandom.

* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Season 4 started poorly, became reliant on Guest Stars where the show hadn't really used them at all in the past, the jokes weren't as funny, the addition of Gibby to the main cast wasn't done well and the start of shipping arc was handled extremely poorly, with one of the cast suddenly being 'in love' and having a computer program reveal it without any clear foreshadowing.

*** Season 5 has taken the show to new lows of ratings and quality. While Seasons 2, 3 and 4 were all roughly similar rated on average, Season 5 with it's continuation of Seddie arc dropped the average of the other 3 seasons by ''millions'', and the final episode of the Seddie arc, ''iLove You'', is the 5th lowest documented audience to date. The iBloop sequel was even lower than ''iLove You''.

*** Season 6 is even worse. ''iApril Fools'' only had 3.408 million, the very hyped ''iGo One Direction'' only had 3.9 million, and for the icing on the cake, ''iOpen a Restaurant'' had a shocking 2.828 million, the series' worst documented audience yet.

Line 293:

** Sam. "Sam abuses Freddie" plots where Sam's treatment of Freddie is escalated [[Played for Drama|for drama]] to the point it's domestic abuse. [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Using an interpretation]] of Sam's character which had her deliberately sabotaging Carly/Freddie. Giving her increased levels of sociopathy towards Freddie or just in general.

** Sam's mother Pam in all sorts of Sam involved relationship stories to allow Sam to move in with the Shay's/Benson's. Throwing Sam out for being a lesbian/bisexual. Death due to overdose or alcohol poisoning or drink driving. Throwing Sam out for getting pregnant. Just packing up and leaving Sam behind. Her true neglect being realised, and having Spencer/Carly or Freddie take her in.

*** [[Real Person Fic]] in the fandom has lead to this for the two most public partners for the Nathan/Miranda (Niranda) and Jennette/Nathan (Jathan) ships. The first was Nat Wolff who was the boyfriend of [[Miranda Cosgrove]] when the show started, and a more recent example is Nathan's current girlfriend, Madisen Hill. You don't even have to read a Jathan fanfic to get this idea, just read the comments on any [[YouTube]] video with her and Nathan. It eventually got so bad for Nathan, Madisen and Jennette that eventually the trio blocked a few dozen of the worst pro-Jathan anti-Madisen offenders on [[Twitter]], having Nathan call them out for bullying and harassing them all. Aspects of the Jathan and Seddie fandoms are divided on how 'right' Nathan and Madisen were to do this.

* [[Don't Like, Don't Read]]: Seddie is Seddie, Creddie is Creddie, and never the twain shall meet. You could tell everyone straight up from word 1, shouting up and down you're story will end as Creddie, the readers would happily read 50 chapters of Carly/OC, Freddie/Wendy or Carly/Griffin until they finally get together, but you put Freddie with Sam for a couple chapters, and you'll get complaints.

* [[Fanfic Fuel]]: Everyone's parents. Only Mrs. Benson actually appears regularly. Pam Puckett was only referred to until she showed up in a single episode. Spencer and Carly's dad is in the military and only up in one-sided phone conversations. Sam's father, Freddie's father and Carly/Spencer's mother have never even been mentioned.
