who do you clowns think you are stealing our ideas woah we've never stolen an idea from
anyone so why don't two little girls just goah
Sam Puckett is the rowdy hostile and unapologetic member of the iCarly crew
she later goes on to become roommates with Cat Valentine in a spin-off show appropriately titled
Sam & Cat and though she mellows out a bit between each series both shows refused to address her
excessively violent outbursts and careless disregard for her actions as anything other
than comedy it's a transparent poly-carbonate thermoplastic that's highly resistant to wow
you're boring me so where does all of Sam's anger come from why does she so rarely apologize
for what she does what situations seem to have sullied Sam's sense of safety and sociability
suffice to say Sam's scathing and selfish setbacks aren't as simple as they seem so shall
we take a look there's not enough people with originality so here I am to save the day Jayniac
Sam is it true that you've been arrested four times three times get your facts right
being the co-host of iCarly requires a few skills for starters Sam's shown to be great at acting
improvising and even tap dancing on set she's portrayed as the wild and aggressive host to
contrast Carly's more lighthearted and giddy host but off the set Sam shows a number of additional
quirks her delight in watching gross videos her prowess for violence and her obsession with
many many foods including ones commonly associated with black stereotypes
and before any of you leave angry comments about me being racist for mentioning black character
tropes stereotypes or portrayals I'm black anyway one of Sam's more notable quirks appears whenever
she's feeling competitive or domineering I'm referring of course to Sam calling herself
mama you put a dead fish in my locker I handcuffed you to Gibby we're even I don't play to get even
mama plays to win unfortunately for Sam this competitive and domineering mentality is what
usually leads to her making irrational immoral and at times petty decisions in the episode iKiss she
exposes Freddie's secret to the whole internet as revenge for Freddie handcuffing Gibby to her
which was Freddie's revenge for Sam putting a dead fish in his locker in the episode iCan't
Take It Sam sabotages Freddie's application for a camp he wanted to go to why you ask
it was four months ago before we started going out going to that camp was a dream of mine
and it would have helped me get into any college I wanted why'd you do this to me
I was mad at you for what remember I asked you what time it was and you said I don't know
and in the episode iSell Penny-Tees I think we see Sam at her absolute worst
who are they they're fourth graders from St. Mary's right down the street you've got a bunch of
fourth graders to make penny-tees yep and I'm only paying them five bucks today guys she's running
a sweatshop with under-aged children as her employees um the biggest reason Sam never really
changes until the very end of iCarly is because she rarely gets called out for her bad behavior
in fact there are a few times where her friends kind of act as her enablers and whenever they do
call Sam out for her misdeeds her punishment is usually nothing more than a slap on the wrist but
no one's just born like this right surely she must have learned this behavior right or at the very
least any genetic predisposition she may have had to sociopathic tendencies was probably encouraged
or coddled but who could have taught Sam that it's okay to hurt people so what's this game
called boomba who taught you this fruit game my mom oh no next we both face away from each other
gee I wonder well if you were gonna give me the locker anyway then I want my money back
there's my mom now nice driving mom
an interesting aspect of Sam Puckett's character is how casually she mentions
her terrible home life okay this is the coolest treehouse in the universe
yeah it's nicer than where I live dude he told me I'm one of a kind
yes and my dad once told my mom he was coming back but no one gets thrown under the bus more
than Sam's mom Pam Puckett based on everything Sam says we know that her mother takes drugs it's like
she's oozing happy kind of like when my mom was taking those special vitamins she has frequent
run-ins with the police he wants us to go to his house where does he live Shelly, Idaho that's
about four hours from here my mom could drive us she got her license back I didn't say that
well did she get her van back from the police
maybe someone else should drive us and Sam's mom really gets around so build me a website
okay but we're gonna put it in writing that you gotta pay me 50 bucks as soon as it's done no prob
my mom's dating a lawyer this week call them write us a contract oh I am calling that lawyer your
mom's dating too late she's dating a rabbi now so isn't it interesting that Sam refers to herself
as mama whenever she's ready for a challenge Sam may resent her mother but she obviously has some
degree of admiration for her mother's boldness strength and maybe even how outspoken she is
because of this Sam either inherited or adopted a great deal of her mother's negative traits
Sam has problems with authority figures just like her mother Sam uses violence to solve her
problems just like her mother Sam has a tendency to mooch off of other people just like her
mom I don't want any part of her you don't deserve my parts why would I want worn out
parts take a good look at your future baby because this is where you're headed
my future's going to be just fine who told you that
your parole officer though Sam's disdain for her mother likely comes from the constant neglect and
implied physical abuse she's received from her mother perhaps Sam's anger is
much more deeply rooted in fear fear that one day she may very well grow up to become her mother
and all these violent outbursts and casual references to her tragic home life are actually
a desperate cry for help or guidance this can be seen most clearly in her day-to-day relationships
you know if you want to use my laptop you could ask I could if I respected you
Carly Shay is Sam's best friend and throughout the show Sam spends a lot more time at Carly's house
than she does at her own house but this isn't just to get away from her terrible home life
on more than one occasion Sam mentions how Carly helps her stay out of trouble
and this is totally true in fact most if not all ethical lessons that Sam has to learn are taught
to her by Carly it should come as no surprise then that Sam shows the most respect for Carly
out of everyone in the series and you know what Carly's a good female role model for Sam
I mean the only other female friend Sam has is Wendy remember Wendy I remember Wendy the only
other people Sam frequently spends time with are Spencer who she once had a little crush on
Gibby who she regularly insults and of course Freddie all of whom are male why do I mention this
well Sam's only exposure to men at home would be her disappearing dad and the revolving door of men
her mother dates one could assume that Sam has witnessed her mother abusing her male partners
which led to Sam thinking that that was a normal part of every male female relationship throughout
the show's run Sam regularly abuses and humiliates Freddie often claiming that she does it because
she doesn't like him but then they end up dating and just when you think Sam might finally learn
some responsibility and understand how to behave in a strong and lasting relationship
she still regularly abuses him under the impression that that's how she's supposed
to show affection and after being called out for it and finally learning that it's not okay
Sam stops hurting Freddie and starts hurting Gibby why are you being so hard on Gibbs cause
I don't know I'll tell you why she's being so mean to me cause she's sweet on Freddie
yeah you know ever since you started liking Freddie you've been a lot meaner to Gibby
and the reasoning she gives is simply well I gotta be mean to somebody no you don't
Sam doesn't know a life without abuse so when presented with a relationship where
she no longer can abuse the person that she usually takes out her frustrations on
she does it to someone else if you guys would like me to do a whole analysis video
on Freddie and Sam's relationship I'd be more than willing to just let me know in the comments below
yeah if I go to your apartment your brother's gonna tase me or something
I've been tased it's not so bad it's actually kind of a rush
if I was going to diagnose Sam Puckett with something it would likely be
anti-social personality disorder according to the DSM-5 anti-social personality disorder is
characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of
the rights of others occurring since age 15 as indicated by three or more of the following
number one failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors
as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest number two deceitfulness
as indicated by repeated lying use of aliases or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
number three impulsivity or failure to plan ahead number four irritability and aggressiveness as
indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults number five reckless disregard for safety of self
or others number six consistent irresponsibility as indicated by a repeated failure to sustain
consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations number seven lack of remorse
as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt mistreated or stolen
from another it should be noted that though there is evidence of conduct disorder with onset before
age 15 the individual must at least be 18 years of age in order to be diagnosed with APD many if
not all of these characteristics apply directly to Sam and can be seen clearly throughout both iCarly
and Sam & Cat Sam's problem is that she needs help and it doesn't seem like she ever really
got the help she needed oh my gosh you guys this video took a long time to make I had to re-watch
a lot of iCarly just to find very specific clips and I didn't even end up using all of them anyway
