History Creator / DanSchneider

** A ''huge'' troll to his fandoms, starting with iCarly's shipping fandom and graduating to doing the same to the Victorious fandom.

* ''ICarly'' - Currently airing

** Most notably in ''ICarly''. He managed to drag along both the Sam/Freddie and Carly/Freddie ships by teasing both, having an episode where Carly and Freddie get together but break up, an episode where Sam and Freddie get together followed by a four part relationship arc which ends with them breaking up, continuing to tease both sides throughout the final season to the point that going into the final episode of the series ''both'' sides would be plausible to end the show together, ''and'' it would be just as plausible if the show ended with ''neither'' being together. ICarly went for ''5 years'' and 107 episodes. It was also a masterclass in creating a ShippingWar between the major factions.

** Most notably in ''ICarly''.

The king of kids' comedy in the TurnOfTheMillennium.

He has a blog, [[http://danwarp.blogspot.com/ which is here.]]

* ButtMonkey - Quite a few appear in his works.

Dan Schneider is probably best known to adults as Dennis Bluden on the old ABC sitcom ''HeadOfTheClass''. But to millions of children (and kids-at-heart), he is the creator, writer and producer of several of the most well-known and loved KidCom[=s=]. His work portfolio almost entirely is comprised of {{Nickelodeon}}'s premier shows (and vise-versa: his shows make up a very large chunk of Nickelodeon's live-action programming).

* Troll: Tends to be one on the set with his actors, particularly when he decides to scare them or fool them with a riddle.

* SpinOff: Despite having shows on the air for nearly 20 years, ''SamAndCat'' and ''Gibby'' are Dan's first true spinoffs, Most everything else is just a SharedUniverse.

* The ''SamAnd Cat'' crossover SpinOff - In pre production.

* The ''[[SamAnd Cat]]'' crossover SpinOff - In pre production.

* A ''[[ICarly Sam]] and [[{{Victorious}} Cat]]'' crossover SpinOff - In pre production.

*** AllThat -> Zoey101 -> {{Victorious}} (VictoriaJustice).
*** AllThat -> TheAmandaShow -> DrakeAndJosh -> ICarly -> JennetteMcCurdy's new pilot. (Drake and Josh, then MirandaCosgrove and Jerry Trainor, NathanKress played a minor role in DrakeAndJosh that was cut because he signed to be on ICarly, then JennetteMcCurdy).

* An ''Sam and Cat'' crossover SpinOff - In pre production.

* ComedicSociopathy: By and towards his main characters. The main offenders are Megan from ''DrakeAndJosh'' and Sam Puckett from ''{{iCarly}}''. Said recipients are DrakeAndJosh and Freddie Benson respectively.

* DisproportionateRetribution: ''Very'' common, '''''especially''''' on ''{{iCarly}}''

** {{iCarly}} and {{Victorious}} have both had screentime given to scenes and even storylines which serve no purpose but to make the cast expose their feet and wiggle them in front of the camera for minutes at a time.

* JerkAss - Wouldn't be a Dan Schneider show without a couple.

** One unknown troper put it best when referring to ''{{iCarly}}''. To paraphrase: "This is a Dan Schneider show, meaning that students/teachers will regularly get away with stuff that would get them a stern talking to at best and expelled/fired/arrested at worst."

** The send-up of the Filipino MichaelJackson "[[Music/{{Thriller}} Thriller]]" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o Prison Dance scene]] in the ''{{Victorious}}'' special ''Locked Up'', with the original being at least '''four''' years old and probably pre-dating ''{{iCarly}}''!
** ''{{iCarly}}'' itself, which came years after people had already been doing webshows and the rise of {{Youtube}}.

* RecursiveCanon: Events in ''{{Victorious}}'', ''{{iCarly}}'', ''{{Zoey101}}'' indicate that ''DrakeAndJosh'' is a fictional TV show in the shared universe of the other 2 shows.

* SadistTeacher: Occasionally.
* SharedUniverse: Officially canonized in "[=iStart=] a Fan War" of ''{{iCarly}}''.

** Most notably in ''{{iCarly}}''.

** ''DrakeAndJosh'' spawned ''{{iCarly}}''

** Also, the idea of an older sibling taking care of a younger sibling introduced in ''Guys Like Us'' inspired the premises of both ''WhatILikeAboutYou'' and ''{{iCarly}}''.
* ThrowItIn: If a blooper is funny enough, he'll throw it in the final cut of the show.
