wait we forgot Gibby Gibby Gibby
Orenthal Cornelius Gibson or Orenthal Hayes Gibson yes those are his real names is a
strange character to say the least though he's usually relegated to nothing more than iCarly's
comic relief over the course of six seasons he goes through some subtle changes most notably
this is a song my mom sings to calm me down
my screaming little angel yeah hi uh can I get a little help hey that's the dude for my iCarly
yeah that's Gibby Gibby hey Gibby take off your shirt no I do that less frequently now
along with that he displays a number of hidden depths that may have something to do with his
less than stellar home life so what's with Gibby what gracefully and gradually turned this guy full
of gullibility into a gregarious and glamorous G.O.A.T.? Gleaming and glorious friendships
or gritty and grimy living space I'm glad you asked but before I begin last time I mentioned
watching iCarly on Netflix a few people told me that unlike Netflix all five seasons are available
on Paramount plus unfortunately Paramount plus isn't available in every country yet

the link is in the description below now without further ado it's Jaynalysis time
there's not enough people with originality so here I am to save the day Jayniac now unlock me
like Gibby's therapists didn't have enough to deal with
over the course of iCarly we see Gibby go from being that weird kid at school that gets bullied
and takes his shirt off all the time to the outlandish and at times obnoxious guy that
hangs out with the main characters but something that remains unchanged is Gibby's intelligence
or lack thereof wait wait guys I just realized something
me too there are no yellow foods what about corn, bananas, squash, butter, lemons so
you're canceling iCarly well I don't see how we're gonna be able to do no we're not canceling iCarly
we've never canceled the show and my dad's watching it live tonight for the first time
I thought Spencer was your dad Gibby Carly's dad's coming home for a few days and it's the
first time in three years that I get to spend his birthday with him so Spencer's not your dad
no come on guys we gotta hit the road we don't have to be at the fat cake factory till one yeah
but it's a two-hour drive we got to go through security at the border why it's not like Canada
is a different country I thought it was like Idaho who was the first U.S. President Abraham Franklin
that's not it which may lead some to believe that Gibby is a complete idiot but that's not
entirely true on more than one occasion we're shown that when the situation calls
for it Gibby is more than capable of being smart in the episode iOpen a restaurant he
single-handedly runs his restaurant appropriately named Gibby's in his school's basement
in iToe Fat Cakes he briefly mentions writing a blog about doing card tricks and in iStart
A Fan War when paired with his grandfather and little brother it's Gibby that calls the shots
what Gibby may lack in common knowledge or common sense he more than makes up for in strength,
loyalty, confidence, and talent don't believe me? in iPsycho when the iCarly gang is
held captive after joining the birthday party of their unhealthily obsessed fan
Nora after decrypting their message it's Gibby that comes to their rescue speaking of
in the same episode Nora who remember is obsessed with iCarly says this about Gibby
whoa uh Nora you know our friend Gibby sure I've seen you guys humiliate him on iCarly many a time
which lends itself well to the idea that at times the iCarly gang just sees Gibby as nothing more
than a joke but that doesn't stop him from participating Gibby's loyalty to his friends
matters more than any personal discomfort they may subject him to which opens up a multitude
of interpretations is Gibby loyal to the iCarly gang because they're the only friends he has or
is Gibby only interested in the fame that comes from being around them after all he wasn't very
popular at school until he started hanging out with the iCarly gang or maybe Gibby is just so
naive that he genuinely believes the humiliation he experiences more specifically from Sam Puckett
is just a way of showing affection almost as if he doesn't see it as abuse and more like friendly
teasing when you think about it it wasn't until Sam started doing overtime with the Gibby abuse
in iCan't Take It that Gibby decided to actually do something about it good thing this guy has
a therapist another thing that's open to interpretation is Gibby taking off his shirt
it's possible that initially Gibby only took his shirt off when he felt insecure or uncomfortable
almost like he's making fun of himself and his appearance before others do it to him as time
goes on he's only recognized for taking his shirt off on iCarly so now everyone expects him to do it
at first he enjoys the attention it gives him but as he grows older Gibby no longer wishes to be
defined by his lack of a shirt so he refrains from taking it off ridicule surrounds him during his
desperate attempt at not being the shirtless child he once was but inevitably the shirt must come off
in times most trying either that or Gibby just takes his shirt off to assert dominance you decide
yeah your daddy is here to pick you up oh boy I'm on my way daddy guess what I got
at home Gibby lives with his little brother Guppy Gibson and his mother Charlotte Gibson who may
very well be a divorcee we know that Gibby's dad is still alive because of what Spencer says in the
earlier clip from the episode iGet Pranky based on Gibby's surprised and excited reaction we can
assume that Gibby probably doesn't see his father that often pair this with the fact that Spencer
starts dating Gibby's mom in iFix A Pop Star and we have enough evidence to support that assumption
and if they're not divorced they may have just had Gibby and Guppy out of wedlock speaking of
Guppy it's obvious that he looks up to Gibby as a role model likely seeing him as the quote unquote
"man of the house" which would explain why Guppy imitates many of the things Gibby does
in iSaved Your Life Gibby mentions not having cable but like why? Is Gibby's mom anti-cable
or is the Gibson family struggling too much financially to pay for anything other than
their basic bills if this is the case then maybe Gibby passes the time by playing with his various
pets that they're somehow able to afford was that a conscious decision like does Gibby's mom think
raising pets is more important than cable if so where does this belief come from we may never know
I don't deal with probabilities I deal with actualities like the fact that Gibby sings six
times throughout the show's run and the fact that I can't show you those scenes without getting a
copyright claim as for Gibby's extended family we have his grandfather Gilbert Gibson who is
a Korean war veteran and a really great barber and his cousin Sabrina Gibson that Freddie dates
briefly and begins to feel insecure about because of her height another thing worth mentioning is
that in this clip from iCarly.com Ariana do you take Gibby's head to be your lawfully
wedded husband I so do and do you Gibby's head take Ariana to be your lawfully wedded wife
then I now pronounce you Gibby's head and wife Gibby's head is wearing a Kippah and has a Rabbi
officiating his wedding maybe a part of his family is Jewish if not on his mother's side then maybe
his father's side either way Gibby thought it made sense for his head to be that way for a wedding
speaking of relationships in the episode iMake Sam Girlier when asked to say something about Sam,
Gibby says this couple years ago I asked Sam to go with me to the junior high dance
so she broke my thumb which leads me to believe that Gibby may have had feelings for Sam at one
point and funny enough she's not alone over the course of the series Gibby and Carly develop an
interesting relationship on more than one occasion Carly compliments Gibby and even defends him
by season 5 Gibby actually seeks ways to get closer to Carly even if it isn't romantic it's
still nice to see that Gibby and Carly never have any bad blood between the two of them
Gibby is quite the ladies man Tasha being the most reoccurring of all the girls he's been with
interestingly enough in iPity The Neville after Gibby steals Freddie's girlfriend he says this
let's roll bye Gibby you have a girlfriend we're not exclusive meaning that Gibby and Tasha are in
an open relationship despite this Gibby was more than willing to beat up Freddie when he thought
Freddie kissed Tasha though that did happen before so it's possible that the relationship wasn't open
yet that being said Gibby kinda just takes what he wants regardless of people's relationship status
in iLove You Gibby steals Spencer's girlfriend Jenna why don't you hit the lights and sit down
let's finish this thing Gibby
and in iShock America Gibby steals Spencer's girlfriend Kirsten uh I think it stopped
raining I'll walk it which way are you headed towards Bartlett Square cool I'll walk you
thanks wait don't put your arm around Gibby watch your hand yeah maybe Gibby's not so great after
all or maybe he learned non-exclusivity from his parents and he thinks everyone's like that
