Carly and I got this besides they ripped off our ideas not yours I'm a big part of iCarly
too yeah well I've never heard Totally Terry say in five, four, three, two, one.
You don't say the one!
Fredward Benson is the tech expert of the iCarly crew and his growth as a character
is rivaled by none throughout the show's run we see Freddie go from being a weak, timid,
and gullible nerd to a strong, self-assured, and cunning nerd the only reason you pinned
me down like that was because I wasn't ready are you ready now yeah why
can we please not tell anyone about this
when did you get so strong same time the voice got lower you see what you did you killed
Fred
you deserve this
you probably do a lot of sit-ups and though a lot of these changes are definitely for
the best considering the company he keeps people tend to forget that Freddie also becomes
a bit of a jerk as the series progresses but what caused this what fateful folly caused
Freddie's fervor to fall into a frivolous fury frantically foolish friends or fading
feelings from fatherlessness finally it's time to Jaynalysize Freddie there's not enough
people with originality, so here I am to save the day, Jayniac
this is amazing.
Someone finally friended you?
control Freddie bad thoughts lead to bad
actions one of Freddie's most consistent traits has
got to be his tech skills working full-time as iCarly's editor, cinematographer, key grip,
visual effects designer, and the list goes on but his talents aren't exclusive to film.
Freddie's shown himself to be quite capable at building model trains, playing games like
world of warlords, and fencing a skill he may have inherited from his mother's side
of the family what your great grandfather long before you were born he led a troop called
the Fencing Bensons he became obsessed with it he forced my father to fence and later
my father made me fencing's in our blood Freddie and I never wanted you to become obsessed
careful Sam those are sharp so are these
you girls want a little taste of a Fencing Benson?
It should be noted that while fencing Freddie uses his right hand but while writing he uses
his left hand meaning he's ambidextrous another interesting ability of Freddie's is his multilingualism
in iHate Sam's New Boyfriend we learned that he's taking a french class but for some strange
reason Freddie has numerous outbursts in Spanish Buenos días, muchachalatas
I'll be done as soon as I glue on this last piece you guys want to see con mucho gusto
okay this
oh cabeza no even stranger is that sometimes his outbursts aren't actually Spanish they're
just supposed to sound Spanish it came with a big box of long yellow flex tubes which
I can attach to these and then run the cool air all throughout the apartment tubos yellos
a prevailing theory among fans is that Freddie's gratuitous Spanish has something to do with
this line as soon as Freddie was old enough to toddle I had a locator chip put in his
head by a questionable doctor in Venezuela you chipped Freddie?
Oh I chipped him because I love him the theory suggests that either through malfunction or
a side effect the chip tampers with Freddie's brain causing him to speak Spanish randomly
and that this wouldn't have happened if his mom hadn't put the chip in him you know come
to think of it a lot of Freddie's personality traits both good and bad can be attributed
to how overbearing his mother is.
On one hand she's the reason for Freddie's prim and proper mannerisms as well as his
personal hygiene but her constant helicoptering over Freddie may also be the reason for him
slowly becoming more fed up with everyone pair this with the constant bullying he receives
from his so-called friend Sam Puckett and the initial rejection and manipulation from
his friend Carly Shay and we're left with the tragic story of how an innocent kid who
desperately wants to be a bad boy so people will stop looking down on him transforms into
a self-confident but short-tempered man in the final season don't believe me after getting
a job at the pear store in the episode appropriately titled iPear Store we witness first hand how
easily frustrated Freddie can get iI want a blue one well don't you want to know about
the speed and how much memory it has and I want a blue one well we'll get you a blue
one what if I want to do email I just said this one's good for email can I talk to the
blonde sales girl Sam get over here and help this moron lady you can pick up your new pair
book right over there at that counter I just want to buy some earbuds but you said you
wanted a blue pair book now I just want earbuds do they come in blue yes as someone who used
to work in retail believe me I understand Freddie's frustration however that doesn't
justify his anger towards Sam after she gets a job at the very same store instead of just
accepting that his boss only cares about sales and not his actual skills he makes a big scene
out of it I gave Sam a promotion Sam's my boss now yep I am a computer expert I know
so much she is lazy and a criminal and a nuisance and she has terrible table manners and you
don't deserve to have me work here okay you're fired eh you know what I take it back if you've
ever worked in retail I'm sure you've had one of these days and if you haven't had one
of these days it's because you're Sam if you need to vent feel free to in the comments
down below that is if YouTube doesn't remove these comments like they did last time, speaking
of overbearing mothers...get it?
may I come in oops already in Freddie come on it's time for our class mom signed us up
for mother-son synchronized swimming classes mom I don't have a swimsuit which is why I
just stopped at Mall-mart and bought you
this at home Freddie lives with his overbearing over-emotional and overprotective mother Marissa
Benson it should be noted that early in the series Freddie's mom showed a number of symptoms
commonly associated with obsessive compulsive disorder.
Excessive hygiene, excessive organizing, repeating words or phrases, and a distinctive fear of
losing control but as the series goes on Marissa's need for control over Freddie becomes downright
unhealthy almost as if she doesn't want Freddie to socialize with anyone but her she chooses
his food she enrolls them in activities together she even picks his bedtime but the big question
on everyone's mind is why?
Well personally I think it may have something to do with Freddie's dad what's up with sally
sunshine she's been dating a new guy well I don't see how a boy could make a girl that
happy sure because you haven't had a date since Seinfeld got cancelled we know that
Freddie's mom is single but Freddie's dad has never been mentioned at all the closest
we've ever gotten is an early draft of the script for the episode iSpeed Date sorry it's
so blurry.
According to multiple sources, Freddie's dad's name is or at least would have been Leonard
Benson.
Apart from that, his reason for leaving Freddie and his mother remains unclear.
Did he leave them because of his mother's overbearing nature?
Was he just a deadbeat dad?
Did he cheat on her?
Did she cheat on him?
Or did he pass away?
Regardless of which answer we choose they all lend themselves well to the idea that
maybe Freddie's mom holds on to him so tightly because he's all she has left.
Let's not forget that Freddie's an only child whatever happened to Freddie's dad must have
left Freddie's mom in a catastrophic condition so any traces of an overzealous parent that
may have been there initially were immediately dialed up to their extreme.
She doesn't want to let go of Freddie because he's her everything which is why when he moves
out of the house in iMove Out she has a panic attack and becomes even more unstable than
usual.
Now apparently in the iCarly revival series, we'll learn about Freddie's stepdaughter Millicent
which means we'll probably have to update some videos, huh?
Who knows I might even team up with my dear friend Fitoria so we can both analyze the
future of iCarly speaking of friends I thought we talked about this we can be buds but you
got to get over this crush thing I am over it seriously I'm in love with you, you just
want to be friends, and I'm totally cool living with that constant pain
at the beginning of iCarly one of Freddie's defining character traits is his crush on
one of his best friends Carly Shay and iSaved Your Life after Freddie pushes Carly out of
the way of a taco truck Carly becomes infatuated with him and the two start dating but after
Sam points out that Carly's only interested in Freddie because he saved her and not because
of any genuine romantic feelings she has for him we get this exchange Freddie okay you
know how you've always said you like me but that you don't like me that way yeah but that
was before I saved your life but I love you you love what I did you love that I risked
my life to save yours but I don't think you're in love with me notice how Freddie's the one
to call it off if he was a manipulative person he probably would have kept this relationship
going but he makes it clear that he only wants Carly if she genuinely loves him as for his
other friends there's Carly's big brother Spencer who Freddie probably sees as his own
big brother.
They share the same interest in galaxy wars and world of warlocks.
Then there's Gibby...
Then there's Sam who regularly teases and abuses Freddie only to end up dating him I've
already made a whole video on why their relationship doesn't work so be sure to check it out I'll
leave a link down below, but one thing I didn't mention in that video is how Freddie seems
to still have feelings for Sam interesting that even though the two have been through
hell together Freddie still has feelings for her especially considering all the other girls
he's dated at this point.
Despite being the quote unquote "nerd" he's attracted numerous girls.
Valerie from iWill Date Freddie, Shannon Mitchell from iWin A Date, Melanie Puckett from iTwin,
Magic Malika, Jamie, and Ariana in iSpeed Date, Leslie in iWas A Pageant Girl, Gibby's
cousin Sabrina Gibson in iBeat The Heat, Patrice and three girls from Ridgeway in iPity The
Nevel and surprisingly enough in iStart a Fan War Freddie has the most fangirls gee
I wonder who he could be taking notes from
Freddie Benson has always been a cool character to me because in many ways he inspired me
to become a video editor it's also really cool to see how much development he goes through
considering he's in a show where character development isn't really a priority the iCarly
revival series is just around the corner so let's see what happens to Freddie from here
on out it'll be really cool to see how much his tech skills improve over time and how
much of a following iCarly has after all these years speaking of following be sure to follow
