iCarly was the original webshow filled with awesome comedy,
crazy characters and even a little bit of romance.
And it's coming back.
Man, that is awesome!
We could not be more excited to see Carly and the gang again,
but don't worry if you need a little refresher
because here's everything you need to know about iCarly.
And welcome!
- To what? - iCarly.
Okay, let's start with the basics.
Carly Shay lives in Seattle with her artistic big brother,
Spencer, while their dad is stationed overseas.
My dad's stationed in Europe right now.
He's in the military.
Well, there must be some adult in charge of her.
My older brother, Spencer.
She lives across from her BFF, Freddie Benson.
Freddie, were you just looking out your peephole
waiting for me to come home?
No-o-o.
- Freddie? - Yes.
Who was totally in love with her.
I'm in love with you. You just want to be friends.
And I'm totally cool living with that constant pain.
He also lives with his super over protective mom.
♪ And a big boy ♪ ♪ Eats his vegetables ♪
Don't sing this song.
Carly and Freddie have another BFF, Sam Puckett,
who's a fried chicken loving troublemaker.
I can't believe I let you talk me
into taking the blame for you!
You had to. I've already been suspended
once this semester. If I had gotten busted
they'd expelled me.
- Well, here's an idea. - What?
Stop doing bad things!
After getting into some trouble, courtesy of Sam, of course,
Carly, Sam and Freddie are in charge of taping
the talent show auditions.
But things kind of go haywire
when the video of them goofing off was uploaded.
- That's you and me! - Sure is!
He wasn't supposed to film us!
We were being all goofy and acting like idiots all day!
Even though they may have gotten into trouble, they were a hit.
Carly and Sam, you chicks are hilarious.
And that hit led to the creation of iCarly,
their own super cool and original webshow.
Hey, there, people of Earth, I'm Carly Shay, and this is
our very first webcast of a little show we call iCarly.
With awesome sketches like Messing with Lewbert
and Baby Spencer.
Oh my God, this freaks me out.
There may have also been some random dancing.
Our tech producer, Freddie, has preset a special timer.
We don't know when it's going to go off.
But when it does, you're going to see some
♪ Random dancing ♪
And some awesome music performances.
♪ Baby, you light up my world Like nobody else ♪
♪ The way that you flip Your hair gets me overwhelmed ♪
♪ But when you smile At the ground ♪
♪ It ain't hard to tell ♪
♪ You don't know, oh-oh ♪
♪ You don't know You're beautiful ♪
Although not every performance was awesome.
♪ My screaming little angel ♪
They even have their own fake trailers.
A comedy no one wants to see.
Kelly Cooper, Terrible Movie.
[screaming]
It's really bad.
But with a popular webshow comes jealous bloggers
like Nevel Papperman.
I'm Nevel Papperman.
You're Nevel?
You're just a little kid. He's so cute.
I created and now run
one of the world's most visited websites,
which gets over five million pageviews
per day. I'm not cute.
Who tried hard to shut down iCarly with bad reviews...
- You found Nevel's review? - Read it.
iCarly or as it should be called iBoring.
...hacking, faking a video to get Carly in trouble
with super tough Shelby Marx.
All I know is that some kid came to my gym,
and played me a video showing you guys at the press conference
talking about how you were going to push
- my grandmother down. - What kid?
I don't know, about this tall, our age, round head,
polite but super creepy.
Nevel.
Now, I get it.
Nevel must've made a fake video.
That little nub.
And even tricking superfan, Mandy into giving him
their IP address.
But the iCarly crew always prevailed,
and Nevel was made to rue the day himself.
You feel the rue?
But Nevel wasn't the only villain
for the iCarly crew to battle.
There was also Nora, who invited them
to her birthday party, and then trapped them, twice.
The windows.
I don't think you'll be able to get them open, either.
And then, there was Missy, who totally tried to replace Sam
as Carly's costar.
Carly's too nice and good to see the evil in people,
but luckily, I'm not so nice and good.
And I hope you know your blood type
'cause I think you're going to need some
when I'm done with you.
And Kyoko and Yuki, who kind of got the iCarly crew
lost in Japan when they were nominated
for an iWeb Award.
I don't think we're getting a gift.
Maybe they're driving somewhere to get it.
No. They did all this on purpose so they could ditch us
and then go win the iWeb Award.
But the iCarly crew always had the last laugh, literally.
[laughing]
Because nobody could separate the funny trio,
except maybe themselves.
There may have been a few fights here and there,
especially between BFF's Carly and Sam.
Don't you walk away from me Sam!
- Too late I'm already leaving. - 'Cause what you did was wrong!
From fights over boys to differences
between each other, the two have definitely had
their ups and downs, but in the end
they are always there for each other.
Sam also may have had an issue with Freddie here and there.
She wasn't always the nicest to Freddie,
like when she shared his secret on iCarly.
Freddie's never kissed a girl. Never. Not once.
I heard him say so myself, and Carly's a witness.
But the two do come through for each other when it counts.
Like when Freddie gave away his free trip to help Sam.
- Freddie won it. - No, no, I didn't.
Yeah, ya did.
No, Missy Robinson won it.
No. Freddie won it and then he told Principal Franklin,
he wanted to give it to Missy.
And when Sam admits her own secret on iCarly.
I've never kissed anyone.
So, if you want to tease someone about it, tease me.
Which is a bad idea unless you live near a hospital!
Which may have led to their super secret kiss.
But is there a love triangle in the works?
Seddie and Creddie fans seem to think so.
Sam and Freddie for the win!
No!
Because when Freddie saves Carly, she becomes
totally in love with him, and the two date.
Ooh, I love it when you talk all techie.
Really?
Yeah, it's cute and geeky at the same time. It's cuky.
But Freddy sees that Carly isn't actually in love with him.
She's in love with what he did for her.
- That was before-- - Before I saved your life?
- So? - Nothing's changed.
I'm still the same Freddie, and you're still the same Carly.
- 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.
You just think you are.
And they break up.
But not before Carly gives Freddie a kiss.
Not long after, Sam admits she really likes Freddie.
And it turns out Freddie feels the same way.
Seddie!
And the two begin to date, which goes really well
until the fighting starts.
I said, I don't want to start an argument.
Well, ya done it.
And they realize they don't have many common hobbies.
But even through all of this,
the two realize they do love each other
and the best thing for them may be to break up.
Yeah, I just...
I just don't know if you and me really click...
that way.
Yeah.
For now, at least.
I love you.
I love you, too.
But it definitely doesn't affect iCarly.
The webshow is as popular as ever.
And the crew goes on some crazy adventures together,
from New York to Las Vegas to Canada
with a little bit of trouble making
from Sam along the way.
And I demand to know why my client is being detained.
Because she attempted to smuggle
over a hundred Canadian fat cakes
across the border into the United States
which is illegal.
Oh.
And... she... she called me a dumb wazz bag.
And don't forget Gibby, too.
What?
Gibby!
But the real adventure comes
when Carly and Spencer's dad comes to visit
and offers Carly the chance to live with him in Italy.
Then come with me.
[gasping]
What? What are you talking about?
My Air Force base is right outside Florence,
beautiful little town. Lots of the other officers
have their kids living with them right on the base.
- There's a school. You can do-- - This is crazy.
After a tough decision...
Go to Italy.
Go with Dad.
They're a lot of handsome guys your age in Italy.
I'm going to Italy!
...and teary goodbyes, iCarly had its final webshow.
This isn't goodbye.
No, it's not.
But iCarly is going to be taking a break.
And the crew splits up, and goes their separate ways.
And there you have it.
iCarly was known for its comedy...
Cuchi cuchi cu.
What in the blazes are you doing?
[laughing]
I'm tickling your squirrel.
- ...Romance...
...and crazy cast of characters.
Oh.
I'm sorry. He has a sinus infection.
But throughout it all,
what really made this show so great
was the friendship between Carly, Sam and Freddie.
And don't forget Spencer and Gibby, too.
And how they all worked together to start a webshow
where anyone was welcome
and really highlighted and celebrated people's differences.
And we are for sure excited to see what happens next.
