Because I know That Sam Puckett got that butter sock but Tory Nichols got like her Spiked brackets and those nunchakus she has in cobra Kai so I don’t know you can give your opinions

Ok so when iCarly came out I was in late elementary school, and from the get go I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SHOW! I watched the entire thing from start to finish basically as close to live as possible

However being a boy, what I wasn’t prepared for was the very sad and pathetic social stigma attached to being a fan of this series

I remember when season 1 came out I was living in a town where I had a good group of friends and me and my best friend actually discovered it together and watched the eps together at times, then I moved away midway through season 2 and it wasn’t a talking point immediately at the new school so I didn’t talk to anyone about it

I remember the year was 2010, so it would have been like season 3-4 era, and we had a casual clothes/free dress day at school and one of the girls rocked up in an icarly shirt. And I said to her “yo I love that show it’s awesome”, now this particular girl wasn’t the nicest of girls anyway so socially it was a mistake to even approach her especially in a group of 3-4, but basically all the girls laughed at me and said that it’s a girls show and that you shouldn’t be watching this, and boy did I take it personally

I also remember there was a guy that would do/say stuff at school that were clear iCarly references and when I said “hey that’s from iCarly” he’d go “no it’s not, why would I watch that it’s a girls show I have never seen it”, even tho he clearly had

It wasn’t until well after it ended that I actually started talking to other guys about the series and for the most part those conversations happened as adults…which is fucking pathetic. Just because the show has a female lead doesn’t mean it’s for girls, by the end of the series the main cast actually was more male dominated but it always consistently had even genders which I think is a big reason why it actually worked

Recently I rewatched icarly for the first time since being an adult and oh my god this show holds up so well.

I find myself genuinely crying laughing at almost anything Spencer says or does. I also think Gibby in the last half of the show is hilarious.

He’s kinda ditzy but not in a way where it feels like “no one can be this dumb” he just feels really outgoing and like he has no social awkwardness and I love it

I think Carly and Sam are incredibly well written teenage girls (I’m only 21 so I remember being a teenager pretty well) and they are just so accurate and so relatable.

The only “complaint” I sorta have is that I think Freddie grew up to be pretty insufferable and a bit of a pick me. Overall though I’m actually shocked by how good this show is 😭
