Lewberty goo …. What the fuck … its like what fuckboys call their cum 
  • Start talking about views on the show and how they were the same this week and last and sam wants more viewers 
  • Spencer is like why y’all care about how many viewers and sam relates it to an art piece asking if he would want 2 people or 2 mil people to see his art - great point, obviously you want your stuff to be appreciated 
  • Carly asks for ideas and sam auto thinks its about pasta and says to put more garlic on it, freddie says he likes the pasta and sam tells him to put the pasta down his pants since he likes it so much - which is a completely normal thing to tell someone to do .. who doesnt put pasta down their pants when they like it
  • Carly comes up with the idea that they should have a competition where they all come up with ways to get more people to watch the show and the viewers decide which idea they like best
  • Sam says she’s on carly’s team but freddie is upset because carly said each of them had to do it, not as teams, and sam says that individually is too much work, so spencer offers to be on freddies team, they then ask if he’s still with his girlfriend and spencer says that she broke up with him because of his socks .. this is the first time we see spencers cool socks he has .. they’re neon pink and yellow with led squiggly strips on them that flash and light up
  • Freddie suggests that the losing team should be penalized and sam says “havent you been penalized enough” - which is so true because hes tiny and annoying
  • Carly decides that the losing team has to touch lewberts wart and spencer is way too excited about it - like theyre just going to touch this mans face without his consent just because they think it’s funny since his wart is gross
Act II
  • ~~scene cut~~ spencer is running into the school looking for freddie and scares him and freddie hits his head on the locker - how is this grown man just waltzing into the school
  • Spencer says he thought of an idea and how they’re gunna get fireworks and set them off to spell out icarly.com and then when freddie asks, spencer says that he cant actually do that so theyre gunna make a sign instead and freddie suggests to put it on the highway - thats all fine but could spencer really not wait until after school to tell this man this??? He literally lives across the hall
  • Briggs comes out and says WELL WELL WELL and then talks about how she hasnt seen spencer in 8 years and spencer asks if he can call her margaret now that hes older and she says no and hes like ?? and she says because her name is francine
  • Briggs threatens to give spencer detention and hes like uhh im 26 u cant do that ?? and then shes says ok period and gives freddie a week of detention, so as the lil nerd he is, hes freaking trying to get spencer to leave and spencer wont so then finally briggs says that if spencer doesnt leave freddie is expelled, so freddie and his 3 ft of pure muscle start pushing spencer out of the building
  • ~~scene cut~~ sam and carly are in the living room, sam is telling carly that she got the corn that was stuck in her tooth since lunch out and then has a whole piece of corn in her hand and flicks it on the floor - which is rude and disgusting ??? she is seriously so disrespectful live she practically lives at this house and is just throwing shit on the floor ~~toxic counter~~
  • Carly and sam fight over watching tv and start awkwardly fighting for the remote on the couch
  • They end up turning on seattle beat - MTV rip off ~bingo~ shows old ass tv with cat statues next to it?
  • Carly is trying to think of ideas while sam asks if the idea involves floss because theres more corn stuck in her teeth - personality just about food again
  • Carly thinks of making a banner and showing it on the tv, sams says ur welcome for the idea because she decided to turn on tv ~toxic counter~
  • Carly goes to work on it, sam stays on the couch, so carly sprays her with the water bottle that is now randomly behind the couch?
  • ~~scene cut~~ sam and carly outside with “go to icarly.com” banner that looks like a board game on the edges? They say its raining and to hurry so the banner doesnt bleed - but the rain is SO fake, its clearly edited in .. theres people all around them that are just walking, completely dry, the sidewalk is dry, theyre dry .. it makes no sense
  • They walk TWO FEET down the block to get to the tv station and when they get there, the crowd of 10 kids are all SOAKING wet, especially the chunky boy who is jumping all up on the window
  • Sam and carly are now soaking wet and push their way through the “””crowd””” with the banner to get in the front, and sam yells at the kid to move because theyre from the internet -  i would literally not move if i was him he was there first fair and square and carly and sam have this huge ass banner 
  • Carly goes “get ready seattle! :D” and they show how the whole banner is blocking everyone 
  • Pan through a fake vid of seattle skyline in a thunderstorm and then back to the girls outside and it is downpouring now and their banner is FUCKED up beyond interpretation and they have no idea
  • Goes to the seattle beat host, the music vid playing was Saucy Monky “disco ball” celebrity trash, the host says “that sign is messed up” and then the girls go AW and then walk out
  • ~~scene cuts~~ Freddie and Spencer in kitchen with huge sign, spencer is wearing an “outfit” of a white thermal long sleeve and a yellow puffer vest with safety goggles
  • Freddie wants to plug in the sign and spencer goes nonononon and freddie says “why no .. seven times” over explain because it means he counted how many times spencer said no
  • Spencer says hes gunna plug it in because freddie is a child and hes not wearing safety goggles, when he plugs it in he electrocutes himself and these fake flashes of light and smoke start coming out and hes like shaking YEOWHOO AHH “and thats why we wear safety googles” LMFAO like those did anything at all
  • Carly and Sam walk in and ask if they smell bbq and spencer says its his burning flesh and they start talking about each team’s ideas to which freddie says that sam and carly are gunna lose and that he feels bad for carly but not sam ~ freddie simping for carly ~ - its like why does that need to be said, it’s seriously like one of those middle school crushes where you’re just mean to each other and its because you like them .. which honestly is still nat now also 
  • Spencer and freddie are going to take the sign out and spencer gets a call so he WALKS away and leaves 500 lbs sign for 2 lb freddie to hold by himself .. so obviously the sign crushes him 
  • Spencer of course is oblivious and is like lets get on the road and then he start screaming for freddie and goes YO FREDDO? And u just see freddies hand slowly come up and he goes help. Me. - not sure how spencer isnt in jail at this point, first the party with 50 13 year olds, then randomly trespassing at a high school, and now attempted murder
Act III
  • ~~scene cut~~ they show a vid sent in from 3 fans from denver, co, its three old high school kids where the one in the middle is in a bunny suit??? And they ask if you can drink spaghetti and meatballs ………..? - These kids are high on some shit for sure, why are they watching 13 year old girls on splashface … weirdos
  • So what do the girls do? They invite their neighbor from downstairs who is a little boy to come up and test it out for them …………. ???? - how did they approach this kid with this, where is this kids parents ? why would they not just do it themselves .. subjecting other people to this shit, also racist
  • Chunky lil asian boy comes out and the camera keeps zooming in way too close to this boys face .. they say how this kid eats anything, even one of sam’s quarters and how she got it back 3 days later - which is obviously insinuating they dug through this kids shit for a quarter ….. Sam is poor .. but carly be rich and can give her a damn quarter so she doesnt have to fish it out of a kids pile of literal shit 
  • So they start blending the pasta and meatballs and carly says this .. unnecessary line .. “u gotta love spherical meats” ~~sexual innuendo~~
  • They give this kid the glass of this smoothie and he takes a sip and then sam has the audacity to tell him to get out because he creeps her out??? Emmett asks to take the smoothie with him and theyre like kk sure and just awkwardly look at each other for too long as the scene ends when he walks out with the blender – as if they didn’t invite him to come up and do this for them?
  • ~~scene cuts ~~ sam and carly say theyre gunna do something they’ve never done before on the webshow - which .. its gotta only be like a few episodes in, so just about everything hasnt been done on the show before, especially since their whole premise was to have a diff show every week?
  • They show the clip of the girls with their banner on the seattle beat show and say how their project failed and then they go to spencer on a live cam – technology?
  • At first there’s static and you cant see him but then you can and hes just vibing above the highway eating a taco wearing this like xbox mic headpiece and holding this comically large version of the sound remote, while the girls are trying to get his attention but he cant hear them, so freddie turns on the mic and carly yells at him which scares spencer and makes him throw his taco which he’s pissed about and says that they owe him a taco – first spaghetti taco sighting???
  • Spencer shows them how hes on top of the interstate and says that its the perfect place to hang a gigantic luminescent sign like this and presses one of the buttons that lights up this huge sign that literally looks like it’s duct taped onto an exit sign on the interstate that says “please go online to icarly.com” and spencer asks if everyone is beholding the sign and is saying how awesome the sign looks IRL and how “dazzlingly bright” it is 
  • Right as he’s saying it you can hear a car crash effect and then spencer is like … standing emoji … it seems our sign is so bright and dazzling it distracted 1 of the drivers CRASH 2 of the CRASH 3 of the CRASH … many of the drivers below are being distracted by our extremely dazzling sign MORE CAR CRASHES 
  • Theyre telling him to turn it off, so he starts freaking and hitting buttons which causes the sign to start flashing, theres more crashes and spencer full blown panics and hits all of the buttons and freddie is like uR gUnNa OvErLoaD tHe CirCUit – people are literally dying?
  • The sign glitches and it now reads “PEE ON CARL” to which carly gets PISSED? (haha see what i did there.. pee joke) more than the people crashing? Spencer is still in full blown panic mode and starts yelling at the cars (that obviously cant hear him) to stop beholding the sign and then theres a really unsettling wet noise effect and spencer yells that he stepped on his taco .. which causes him to panic even more and then the scene ends with siren noises in the background
  • ~~scene cut~~ kids at comp laughing and reading freddie is like  “unbelievable” and sam says “can u believe it” so freddie being a smart ass is like “i said unbelievable” sam obviously has gotta say something back and goes “srry i thought u said u were doofy and annoying”  - again flirting???
  • The doorbell rings and its spencer in handcuffs being escorted by two cops, the cop goes to 13 YEAR OLD carly and says “he belong to you?” about 26 YEAR OLD spencer and shes like yeah as if this is just a casual day, the cops uncuff him and spencer asks for some lotion which makes the cop pissed
  • The cop then tells spencer that hes letting him off with a warning but the next time the he causes one of the worst accidents in seattle history he’s getting arrested - the white privilege in this is insane …. If this man was not white … he would be in jail immediately, probably would have already had his trial and been convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, but good old spency just gets a slap on the wrist ACAB
  • So the cop is like what were you thinking putting up a sign telling people to pee on carl?? Spencer is like it was a terrible mistake and reads the cops name tag and the cops name is carl …… OOP the cops leave but then the doorbell immediately rings and its the same cops and hes like just so you know i did have lotion and then …. Takes out a bottle of lotion … and starts putting it on his hands and rubbing it in .. in spencers face ... smells it and says that its cucumber melon and then leaves … 
  • Spencer feels bad that he ruined the webshow but the gang reads him the comments that say the most basic compliments ? 
  • “the spaghetti in the blender made me LOL, but when ur brother put the sign pee on carl i almost peed myself” 
  • “Carly loved seeing u and sam on seattle beat, sorry about the banner, but that was hilarious but going to send clip to every kid in that school”
  • Then spencer says the info dump line of the episode “We all failed miserably trying to get u guys more viewers, and yet it is precisely those miserable failures that are getting u guys more viewers for icarly”  “INSANITY”
  • And to end it all off, carly says that since they all lost noone has to touch the wart, so the celebrate spencer says they should get some lowfat cheeseless vegetarian pizza and does a heel click jump and carly calls it back and says that they also need to get some cucumber melon lotion
  • ~~~ the end ~~
End Credit Scene
  • End vid - young girl sitting on the floor in front of her couch with all these randomly placed stuffed animals .. so you think she’s going to do something with the stuffed animals right? Nope, her talent is that she can pick her nose with her toes 🙂 yup. So she picks. Her. nose. With. her toes. For a long … time .. like 2 minutes .. longer than the kid with the actual talent of spinning the basketball… thanks dan <3
