ICarly (TV series)

iCarly is an American teen sitcom created by Dan Schneider that ran on Nickelodeon from September 8, 2007 until November 23, 2012. The series stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor, and tells the story of Carly Shay, a teenager who creates her own web show called 'iCarly' with her best friends Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson, in the attic of her apartment loft with her older brother Spencer Shay. The web show quickly becomes an internet phenomenon and the trio must deal with their newfound fame, while also dealing with adolescence.

During the first five seasons, the show was taped at Nickelodeon on Sunsetbefore relocating to KTLA Studios in Hollywood for the sixth and final season. It was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Children's Program five times. The series finale, "iGoodbye", aired on November 23, 2012.

Although the show received mixed reviews from critics, it became popular with audiences. The most watched episode was "iSaved Your Life", which aired January 18, 2010, to 11.2 million viewers; this is the second most viewed telecast in Nickelodeon history.

Plot
When Carly and her best friend Sam act funny at a school talent show audition, tech-savvy Freddie records it and posts it online without informing them. After seeing the girls' strong chemistry and banter, the online audience clamors for more, and the iCarly webcast is introduced. While battling normal issues of adolescence, Carly, Sam, and Freddie discover that they have also become online sensations as their show – which features talent contests, recipes, problem-solving, and random dancing – garners international accolades.

Carly lives in Seattle with her 26-year-old brother and guardian Spencer, and produces the show in a makeshift third-floor studio loft in their apartment. Their father, Steven Shay, is a U.S. Air Force officer stationed on a submarine and is often mentioned, but is only seen during the series' finale episode, "iGoodbye".

Exterior shots of the Shays' apartment building, Bushwell Plaza, are digitally altered images of the Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles.[2]

Carly Shay
Carlotta "Carly" Shay[1] (Miranda Cosgrove) starts as a 13-year-old girl who lives with her older brother, Spencer Shay, in Seattle, Washington. They live in the Bushwell Plaza apartment building.

Carly's best friends are Sam Puckett, Freddie Benson (who lives in the same apartment building), and Gibby Gibson.

In "iPilot", Carly takes the blame for one of Sam's pranks and has to oversee people who want to be in the school's talent show as her punishment. When Carly, Sam, and Freddie's suggestions are completely ignored, they decide to make a web show named iCarly upon Freddie's suggestion, with the 'i' standing for 'Internet' and Carly's name since she will be the host of the show.

Carly is a smart, pretty girl who gets good grades, going for straight A's in one episode. She is kind, easygoing, and naive at times, wanting to believe the best in people. She has her moments when she proves just how crazy she can be. Yet in many ways, she is more grown up than her adult brother.

She has occasionally wondered why she and Sam are friends as Sam tends to get her into trouble. Freddie has a crush on Carly, of which everyone is aware. However, she does not feel the same way (which she has told him many times). Despite this, in "iSaved Your Life", Carly wants Freddie to become more than friends because Freddie pushed her out of the way of a truck, getting hit himself instead. Although he was originally eager about their new relationship, Sam later advises him to break up with her. Freddie does so but regrets it later. In "iSpace Out" and "iSam's Mom", it is revealed that Carly is claustrophobic. She is the daughter of Colonel Steven Shay. He is stationed on a Navy submarine; their mother has never been seen and was only spoken of once when it was stated that she was in the armed forces. Carly is a kind and easygoing person who would do anything for her friends, although "iDate a Bad Boy" shows that she can be shallow, as she had a dislike of Griffin's hobby of collecting Pee Wee Babies (a parody of Beanie Babies). Also, when pushed too far, like in "iHave My Principals", Carly has proven to be just as devious as Sam, which catches most people by surprise because of her nice demeanor and the little-known, but generally assumed, fact that she has never pulled a prank by herself until "iGet Pranky" (which she did with Spencer's help). Carly is not tough, and even when furious, she has rarely physically attacked anyone on-screen (exceptions include when she tried to tackle Freddie in an angry manner in "iThink They Kissed" and "iPromise Not to Tell"). However, on occasion, she will confront someone, even bullies and teachers, as shown in "iHave a Lovesick Teacher" and "iMake Sam Girlier". She was also part of a girl mob (Sam and Shelby Marx) that beat up Nevel in "iFight Shelby Marx" although Nevel was not scared of her. Carly shows singing ability in "iDo", when she sings "Shakespeare", and in "iPie", when she tries to get people at a funeral to sing "Amazing Grace". In at least one episode, it is shown that she wears a mask to keep her from snoring, implying that she has sleep apnea as well as asthma, despite not having an asthma attack since she was seven, as confirmed by Spencer in "iWanna Stay with Spencer". In "iMeet the First Lady", it is revealed her father's pet name for her is "Snug Bug." She moves with her father to Florence, Italy in the series finale.

Although not present as a character, Carly was mentioned in the spin-off series Sam & Cat.

Sam Puckett
Samantha "Sam" Puckett[2] (Jennette McCurdy) is Carly Shay's best friend and in later episodes the ex-girlfriend of Freddie Benson. She co-hosts the iCarly webshow with Carly, and also handles the sound effect remote control. Sam has an identical twin sister named Melanie. Their mother is Pam Puckett (Jane Lynch[3]). Sam also stated she and her twin sister Melanie were born on a bus due to poor planning by their mother.

She is a tomboy and often uses aggression against people who upset her. Sam enjoys pranks, mooching off her friends, and hates working, but is still considered a nice girl in-universe. It is mentioned in the series that she has been arrested three times. In "iWon't Cancel the Show", Sam gets arrested a fourth time after a man cuts in front of her in a market and she shoved a hot chili dog down his pants, only to find out he was the Mexican ambassador and as a result, she is sentenced to juvie for seven days (this is the only episode where Sam does not appear at all). Sam is also portrayed as gluttonous, with a particular love for meat (i.e. fried chicken, ham, bacon, steak, ribs, and pork). One time, she went on a meat patch. She had at least 7 of them on her arm, but still she could not resist eating a meatball. There is a running gag in the show where Sam is prone to say bacon. It was revealed in "iGot a Hot Room" that Sam speaks fluent Italian and she said she can play a trombone (or at least took 3 years of lessons). Sam has many pictures of boy celebrities on her locker, including Drake Bell, Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurleyfrom Fall Out Boy. Sam loves to dance, as shown in "iWas a Pageant Girl", when she did a dance with her former dance coach for the talent portion. Sam reveals that she has a small crush on Spencer and that was what was keeping her from beating him up after he performed numerous pranks on her and others. She has a "rabid" three-legged cat named "Frothy". In "iParty with Victorious", it is shown that Sam is a skilled rapper. She occasionally refers to herself as "Momma." In the episode "iWant to Date Freddie", it is stated by Carly that Sam never lies but in the same episode she promised not to tell on Valerie even though she did. Despite her laziness and unhealthy diet, Sam is physically fit and several episodes show her flipping over full grown men or carrying Freddie over her shoulder with ease. She lives with her mother, although she often stays with Carly at her apartment, as she is dissatisfied with her home life. In the episode "iParty with Victorious", Sam reveals that her father promised his family he would return, but still has not come back since. He is never seen or heard. Sam admits she used to compete in beauty pageants (and came in second in 19 of them) but got suspended for seven years due to her being suspected of "pushing" a candidate, Leann Carter, down a flight of stairs. Sam pushes Carly into doing the pageant when she finds out that Leann is going for her 100th straight win. At the pageant, Sam finds out she can compete because it has been seven and a half years since the ban. Sam tends to insult any other girl who has a crush on Freddie. Despite having dated boys before, she shares her first kiss with Freddie. In "iSaved Your Life", she gets upset when she tells Spencer that Freddie got hit by a taco truck. In "iOMG", it is revealed that she is in love with Freddie, as she kisses him with passion. "iLost My Mind" features them finally together, continuing "iOMG" when Carly saw Freddie and Sam kissing. In "iLost My Mind", Sam checks herself into a mental hospital because she thinks she is insane for being in love with Freddie. When Carly, Sam, and Freddie had to tape a show of iCarly in the hospital, Carly wanted to get the iCarly fans to see if Sam and Freddie should go out. After the iCarly fans say that Sam and Freddie should go out, Freddie records himself saying that no one has asked how he feels. Sam thinks this is his chance to get back at her and embarrass her. In the middle of yelling at him, Freddie walks over to her and kisses her.

Then in "iDate Sam and Freddie", they kept arguing, while Carly helped them get along, and eventually they would make-up and kiss afterwards. When Sam and Freddie go on their date, they get in an argument again. Carly tries to settle it but she gets frustrated, and tells them maybe they are not meant to be, leaving the episode a cliffhanger. In "iCan't Take it", Gibby and Freddie's mom try to break Sam and Freddie up. They did not break up, but they did get in an argument which caused Freddie to think that he should break up with her. But Carly convinces Freddie that Sam would never try to hurt him. Freddie and Sam make-up and kiss. In "iLove You", Sam and Freddie try each other's hobbies. Freddie invites Sam to hang out with him at his club "Training Bros", but Sam gets Freddie kicked out by accident. So Sam invites Freddie to see her uncle Carmine and cousin Chaz in prison, but Freddie causes Carmine and Chaz to get sent away by the police. After that, Sam and Freddie overhear Carly talking to Spencer and his girlfriend Jenna about their relationship. Freddie and Sam feel as if Carly was talking about their relationship, and they come to closure on the past episodes "iKiss", "iOMG", and "iLost my Mind". They decide to break-up with the possibility of reuniting later on if they ever become mature about a relationship. Freddie tells Sam that he loves her for the first time. Sam tells him she loves him too, and they kiss. When Freddie sees what time it is (10:30 p.m.), Sam suggests they break-up at midnight so they can have an excuse to kiss for the last time.

In the series finale, "iGoodbye", Sam and Carly take a break from their web show while Carly moves to Italy. Sam then became a lead character in the spin-off series Sam & Cat, in which she moves to Los Angeles and becomes friends with Cat Valentine (a character originally from Victorious) after rescuing her from a garbage truck.

Freddie Benson
Fredward "Freddie" Benson[4] (Nathan Kress) is the technical producer for the web-show iCarly which stars his friends Carly Shay and Sam Puckett. He is often the scapegoat when it comes to Sam's bad ideas. It is revealed that he has had a crush on Carly since the 6th grade, but Carly generally regards him as one of her best friends. However, in "iSaved Your Life", Carly falls for him after he saves her from getting run over by a taco truck. Freddie breaks up with her and says that if Carly still loves him and would still want to be his girlfriend when "the whole hero thing dies down", he would "be very psyched about it." At the end of this episode, Freddie is shown in the elevator asking himself, "What did I do?".

Like Carly, Freddie is shown to get high grades in school, although his talents are on a more technological basis; thus, he is somewhat of a nerd. When explaining a certain technology that Carly and Sam do not know about, he tends to speak in terms that neither Carly nor Sam can comprehend, and thus, this is one of the sources of Sam's constant ridicule of Freddie. He is shown as being a very effective producer, though he is given little credit for iCarly's popularity. Sam eventually somewhat realizes his vital role to the webcast when a girl named Valerie makes him her technical producer instead, and iCarly is greatly hindered as a result. It is also known that Freddie is interested in studying multiple foreign languages, including French, Spanish, and Portuguese. From the second season on, he is frequently heard exclaiming phrases in Spanish.

Freddie's relationship with his mother, Marissa Benson, is a very strained one. She means well, but can be overprotective, although they love each other. In iGo to Japan, it is revealed that he has a GPS chip in his head that his mother had implanted in him in Venezuela due to her overprotective behavior. Her constant overbearing eventually drove Freddie to temporarily move out of their apartment, and he remained there until his mother begged him to come back. Freddie agreed as long as she unblocked his favorite channels and left him alone in public. Freddie's relationship with Sam in the first season shows a strong dislike for each other. They have become more civil to one another as the series progresses to the point of them only arguing when they are around other people. Freddie constantly finds himself on the wrong end of Sam's demeanor and his near-psychotic mother's over-protectiveness. Throughout the series, Sam insults him, causes physical harm to him, or pulls pranks on him without hesitation, and also insults any girl who is attracted to him. But they both care for each other. Freddie gradually gets used to this so much so that in "iKiss", he stated that "his life would feel too weird if she didn't make him miserable all the time" and kisses Sam after they mutually compromise to "get their first kiss over with". In "iReunite With Missy", Sam asks for Freddie's help and when Carly finds out she says to Freddie, "You care about Sam" which shows that despite her constant abuse, he sees her as a good friend. In "iOMG", Freddie has a new app that tells people what mood they are in. Freddy tests it on Sam, and it said she was in love. He assumes it is their new intern, Brad, and tells Carly. But at the end of the episode Sam kisses Freddie, revealing she was in love with him. When the kiss is over Sam says, "Sorry." Freddie then says, "It's cool," with mixed emotions of confusion and gladness on his face. The episode ends with Freddie unsure of his feelings for Sam. "iLost My Mind" features them finally together, continuing "iOMG", when Carly sees Freddie and Sam kissing. Freddie kisses her live on iCarly at the end of the episode showing that he does, in fact, reciprocate Sam's feelings. Then in "iDate Sam and Freddie", they kept arguing, while having Carly help them get along. They eventually made up afterwards. In "iCan't Take It", Gibby and Freddie's mom try to break Sam and Freddie up by revealing to Freddie that Sam sabotaged his application for NERD (New Electronics Research and Development) Camp, thus ruining his chances of getting in. They did not break up, but Freddie was devastated, leading him to seriously consider a break up. Carly (feeling guilty about helping Mrs. Benson and Gibby and not wishing for her best friends to be unhappy) convinces Freddie that Sam would never try to hurt him and that she loves him. Freddie changes his mind and the two make up.

In "iLove You", Sam and Freddie try each other's hobbies, which ends in disaster. They mutually decide to break-up, but decided that if they ever become mature about a relationship, they'll get back together, and kiss for the last time.

In "iGoodbye", Freddie first assumes that Sam wants to reunite with him as a couple when she calls him, but then turns his attention to making Carly happy by offering to take her to the Father-Daughter Dance with Gibby, although both of them are rejected by Carly's sobbing. After Colonel Shay appears and escorts her to and back from the event, he announces he has to leave, eventually leading Carly to decide upon moving to Florence, Italy with him. In the studio, Freddie packs up his equipment, and starts telling Carly about helping Gibby take care of his new pet weasel when Carly places her hand on his. The two of them end up sharing a final kiss before she leaves.

In February 2014, Freddie guest stars in the crossover spin-off Sam & Catepisode "#TheKillerTunaJump".

Spencer Shay
Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor) is Carly's immature, childish, hyperactive, older brother. When Carly's dad was called overseas, she went to live with Spencer, who turned their loft into both a workspace and gallery for his wacky sculptures. Spencer is off-beat and rarely acts his age, but acts responsibly and seriously when necessary. Though often spontaneous and unreliable, Spencer has been shown as being extremely protective of Carly, especially in episodes such as "iQuit iCarly", when he sees Carly about to fall off a window washer platform and sprints to her rescue, and "iLook Alike", when he would not approve her going to a mixed martial arts fight, and "iDate a Bad Boy", when he adamantly disapproved of Carly dating Griffin. In "iWanna Stay with Spencer", when Carly was being sent to live with her grandfather against her and Spencer's wishes, Spencer gives their grandfather Carly's asthma inhaler, despite her not having an asthma attack since she was seven. He tells their grandfather that he had kept all these years in case she needed it and demands he takes it with them, but after seeing how much Spencer really cares about Carly by keeping the inhaler all this time, their grandfather allows her to stay with him. In the alternate realityshown in "iChristmas," it is revealed that if Spencer was born "normal," Carly would have never met Sam and Freddie, Sam would be stuck in a juvenile detention center, Spencer would be engaged to Marissa Benson, and iCarlywould not exist.

In addition to making sculptures, Spencer has been shown to be an incredibly talented artist; while trying to teach Carly to draw in "iMust Have Locker 239", he quickly draws a professional-looking rabbit without looking at the pad, much to Carly's amazement. However, when Spencer tries to get involved in something besides sculpting, it tends to spontaneously burst into flames as a running gag, despite the object usually not being flammable. He is often the focus of the subplot for each episode, in which he usually finds himself in a strange situation. An odd interest of his is dressing up like a woman, as seen in "iWant My Website Back" and in "iLost My Mind". He also enjoys drinking milk in the shower, as stated in the episode "iGot A Hot Room".

In several episodes, it is stated that Spencer went to law school (because of his father's wishes) for three days before dropping out. Spencer did not tell his father that, claiming that he is busy. His dad eventually finds out in "iGoodbye".

Spencer is sometimes attacked, pranked, and tormented by Chuck Chambers, a trouble-making boy who lives in the apartment building. The conflict started when Spencer was covering for the doorman Lewbert in "iHurt Lewbert". Chuck has been seen in several episodes as a worthy enemy, because of his "sweet" personality, and martial arts skills.

Spencer has also had numerous girlfriends throughout the series, including Veronica from a grocery store in "iMake Sam Girlier" and a very high class woman in "iWon't Cancel The Show".

It is revealed that Spencer pulled numerous pranks during his youth in "iGet Pranky". After helping Carly pull a prank, his love for it was reignited, and he soon began to set up constant pranks at the expense of almost everyone, especially Carly. At her wit's end, Carly calls some of his old school friends (all of whom that came were victims from one of his pranks) to talk him out of his refueled habit. When Carly leaves, however, they resort to beating up Spencer since they still have not forgiven him for it. Despite this, Spencer gets the message. In "iParty with Victorious", it is shown that Spencer has a book club with only ladies. To Carly, Sam, and Freddie's amazement they think that it is not the most manly thing in the world, Spencer also agrees. In "iLost my Mind", this book club reappears, exchanging fruit tart recipes, however he is later kicked out after setting a box of books on fire.

Gibby
Orenthal Cornelius "Gibby" Gibson[5][6] (Noah Munck) is a friend and classmate of Carly, Sam, and Freddie and the show's breakout character. Due to his odd personality and chubby appearance, he is an outcast at school, although he does have a few friends. He used to be known for taking off his shirt in almost all episodes he appeared in. Since season 4, he has not taken his shirt off and stated in "iStill Psycho" that he takes it off "less frequently now". He often appears on iCarly to assist Carly, Sam, and Freddie. Gibby started off as an occasional recurring character of the show, but was promoted to a main character by season 4.[7] Gibby has a little brother named Guppy, played by Munck's younger brother. In "iMove Out", he has a pet bulldog named Grubbles. Gibby also has a pet cat which he apparently likes to film, mentioned by his girlfriend Tasha in "iEnrage Gibby". A running gag in many episodes usually has many characters yelling "Gibby!" to him, either when they are aggravated or annoyed by him. Since becoming a series regular, Gibby often announces his presence upon entering a room with his own name deepened voice: "Gibbeh!" It was revealed in the episode, "iStill Psycho", that his birth name is Orenthal Gibson.

Much like Freddie, he is often a victim of Sam's pranks, but she has shown to have more respect for him. In "iSpeed Date", his last name is revealed as Gibson on his house's postbox, which read "The Gibsons". The episode also reveals he has a girlfriend named Tasha. A very attractive girl, she only has a small part in the episode. This surprised Carly, Sam, and Freddie, because they feel that Tasha is somewhat out of Gibby's league. In "iEnrage Gibby", Tasha returns and has a larger role, showing much affection towards Gibby. In this episode, Gibby is shown to be ruthless and jealous, but in a comedic way. He is also shown to be a skilled kickboxer. Gibby is portrayed to be a very capable fighter, almost to the level of Sam, as shown in "iPsycho", where he succeeds in smashing down a barricaded door. In the episode "iCan't Take It", Gibby is shown to be a strong singer when he serenades Sam and Freddie after he has a change of heart about trying to break them up. He also reveals in "iMeet the First Lady" that he thought Spencer was Carly's father. He says this again in "iGoodbye".

His mother's name is Charlotte. His parents are divorced. He also has some emotional problems because he is the main target for most bullies (mostly Sam in the first three seasons).

He is a very good friend with Spencer. In "iKiss", he became Carly's replacement in Spencer's football training. In "iCarly Awards", Spencer gave him the awards and he gave them to Carly and Sam. In "iQuit iCarly", he became Spencer's "boat boy" and he helped him defeat the Pirates. In "iPsycho", Spencer finds out that Gibby is not allowed to go to the camp anymore, so he cheers him up by inviting him to "Camp Spencer". In "iGot a Hot Room", his grandpa gives Spencer a haircut. In "iOMG", Gibby felt bad about hurting Spencer in an experiment. In "iParty with Victorious", he revealed he is skilled in massage therapy by aiding Spencer, so Spencer refused to drive the rest of the gang to Los Angeles unless Gibby was allowed to accompany them. Gibby also hosts the show with Carly and Sam doing things with sets.

Gibby also proclaims in "iSaved Your Life" that he and his family do not have cable television. Gibby imagines his fantasy marriage to Cat Valentine as a rabbi-officiated culturally Jewish wedding ceremony, with Gibby's stand-inwearing a yarmulke and breaking the glass.[8]

Marissa Benson
Marissa Benson (Mary Scheer) is Freddie's stereotypically overprotective, and sensitive safe-cautious mom, first appearing in "iWanna Stay with Spencer". She is very neurotic and constantly treats her son like a child. She is worried about him getting hurt or having relationships with girls (especially Carly), but in "iWill Date Freddie", she wanted Carly to love him. Marissa constantly embarrasses Freddie in public, often by making him follow all of her strange rules. She does not seem to care about other people's apologies as seen in the special "iSaved Your Life". She has a somewhat negative relationship with Carly and Spencer, except for "iParty with Victorious," when she and Carly actually have a nice conversation. She also has a fear of germs shown in "iToe Fat Cakes" and "iCan't Take It".

Lewbert
Lewbert Sline[9] (Jeremy Rowley) is the rude and psychotic doorman of Carly's apartment. He has a large, noticeable wart on his left cheek. In "iFind Lewbert's Lost Love", he reveals that the wart developed from stress caused by his abusive ex-girlfriend, Marta. Her over-obsessiveness caused Lewbert to take her on a cruise and to jump overboard and swam to shore and make him change his last name, lose his good looks, his job as a supermodel, move to Seattle, and essentially lose his mind. He is later sent to jail for 30 days and 6 months (by smacking a police officer on the face and "admitting" that he was the one who was stealing TV remotes from the apartments) so he can escape Marta.

He is featured on the bit "Messin' with Lewbert" on iCarly, in which Carly, Sam and Freddie pull pranks on him, once going so far that they accidentally blew his wart off his face with an "exploding muffin basket", made to shoot confetti, but blew up as an explosive. Afterwards, he had a short-lived romance with Freddie's mother. However, this did not last because of his attitude after Freddie fell down the stairs while wearing "open-toed shoes", which was actually a ruse by Carly and Sam to end the relationship. Lewbert is loosely based on an enraged, psychotic customer Rowley played in a "Blockblister" segment on The Amanda Show. Lewbert appears throughout the first three seasons (he was not seen in "iEnrage Gibby" but his voice was heard, and is later mentioned in the Season 4 episode, "iHire an Idiot." He is not seen or mentioned in season 5 but he returns in the sixth-season premiere, "iApril Fools" and the series finale, "iGoodbye".

T-Bo
Terrence "T-Bo" Bo[10] (BooG!e) is the manager at the Groovy Smoothie. He often hassles his customers to buy random foods (as well as smoothies), such as bagels, bell peppers, doughnuts and pickles. These foods are always skewed on a stick. T-Bo says he has a degree in "Smoothology". He is a close friend of Carly, Spencer, and the rest of the gang. After "iQ", he rents a room from Mrs. Benson. He first appears in the season-two episode "iWant my Website Back", and continues to appear throughout subsequent seasons.

Socko
"Socko" redirects here. For the chess player, see Monika Soćko.

Socko is a friend of Spencer who is mentioned in several episodes, though is never seen in person. He and Spencer were friends in high school. He is known most for making all of Spencer's brightly colored, light-up socks, first seen in "iWant More Viewers". All members of Socko's family mentioned have names that match their jobs or hobbies; such as Tyler, who makes ties; Otto, a used car salesman; Rob, a professional thief; Penny, who creates Penny-Tees; Isaac, an optometrist; Taylor, a tailor; Bernie, a professional welder; Boomer, who sells explosives; and Ryder, who is a motorcycle rider. Most of his family members have never been seen in the show in person except for Rob who stole back Carly and Spencer's couch and Bernie who burnt a pickle on iCarly.

In "iParty with Victorious" Spencer is seen at the doorway collecting keys from Socko, who is represented in the form of an arm that extends to hand Spencer the keys. Spencer then closes the door so no more of Socko can be seen.

Nevel Papperman
Nevel Amadeus Papperman[11] (Reed Alexander) is one of the most reoccurring antagonists in the iCarly series, running the popular review website Nevelocity.com and tending to have a "posh" personality which includes dressing formally all the time. First appearing in "iNevel", Nevel reveals to have a crush on Carly and initially offered to interview her in order to get close to her, but got rejected by her and has since made it his secondary goal to destroy the iCarlygang with complex plans that hide his involvement at first. Despite his intelligence, most of his plans fail with him suffering in some manner. It is revealed in the episode "iGive Away a Car" that his dream is to open his own haberdashery. While absent from season 3 except for archived footage from "iBloop", Nevel returns in the season 4 episode "iPity The Nevel" where he pleas the iCarly gang to restore his reputation after a video of him yelling at a little girl goes viral. They help him, but another video of Nevel losing his temper with a man in a wheelchair goes viral and ruins his image.

Resurfacing in "iHalfoween", the iCarly gang not helping him with the backlash from the second viral video, Nevel exacts revenge by giving Carly and Sam candies that made their voices very deep, and later framed Freddie for it. However, after Freddie was punished, Carly states that she now acknowledges that Nevel's attack on them today was provoked, and after being nice to Nevel and making his two bodyguards disappear, he is finally punished himself. He also appears in the iCarly video game. He made a guest appearance on Sam and Cat and was placed in a psychiatric ward by his mom because he got Porcupox. He helped Sam and Cat find their friend Dice who got captured by iCarly's obsessive fan, Nora Dershlit. At the end of the episode it showed that Nevel escaped the psychiatric ward and was eating dinner with Gibby at a restaurant.

Chuck
Chuck Chambers[12] (Ryan Ochoa) first made an appearance in "iHurt Lewbert", when playing racquetball in the lobby, which Spencer got him grounded by his father for two days. Later in the episode, when Spencer is out of earshot, he uses the CB radio that Spencer is using to upset two truckers, and gives the truckers the location so that they can come and get Spencer. Since then, Chuck and Spencer became rivals and have clashed on several more occasions, each time ending with Spencer winning and Chuck getting in trouble with his father except in "iFind Lewbert's Lost Love". In "iReunite With Missy," he was grounded once again for trapping Spencer in the basement for two days and getting revenge. He also appears in "iTwins". He has a wide variety of what Spencer describes as "suspicious liquids" such as a substance he squirted Spencer with and a jelly-like goo which he put into Spencer's motorcycle helmet. He makes his on-screen final appearance in "iBeat the Heat", where he comes to the Shays' apartment with his dad and sister, Gia, who Spencer finds attractive. As revealed in "iBattle Chip", Chuck and some of his 8th grade thug buddies' latest prank on Spencer got him sent to military school and so he told his younger brother Chip to fill in as the secondary antagonist. His sibling appeared in "iBattle Chip".

Guppy
Guppy Gibson[6] (Ethan Munck) is Gibby's younger brother. He first appears in "iPsycho" when he visits Gibby, who is staying with Spencer and Carly. Guppy later frees the iCarly gang from a recording booth while Gibby distracts Nora (the girl who trapped the iCarly gang). Guppy is played by Noah Munck's real-life brother, Ethan. Like Gibby, Guppy likes taking his shirt off, but unlike Gibby, he rarely talks and is mostly shown speaking into Gibby's ears. In addition to "iPsycho", Guppy also appears in "iSell Penny Tees" when he was on the iCarlywebcast, "iDo" when he was riding in his little flame car that is attached to Gibby's bike, and in "iStart A Fan War" in which he, Gibby, and their grandfather are driving to Webicon. His signature phrase (towards Gibby) is, "Happy birthday!"; when Carly, Sam, and Freddie are trapped in Nora's basement in "iPsycho", they make a code and send it to Gibby, in which "every fourth word" is a code phrase. He also appears to have psychological problems; in "iStart A Fan War" he says he "hears voices again". He reappears two seasons later in the episode "iBust a Thief".

Charlotte
Charlotte Gibson[6] (Deena Dill) is Gibby's attractive mother. She was dating Spencer in "iFix a Pop Star", but he broke up with her because he thinks she looks too much like her son Gibby, which made her become aware of his resemblance to Carly. She appears also in "iGo Nuclear" when Sam gives Gibby a wedgie and she needed to give him his new underwear, "iPsycho" when she took Guppy to visit Gibby at Spencer and Carly's loft, and in "iEnrage Gibby" offering Gibby a snack while he was punching a punching bag.
