Added DiffLines:

* NoodleIncident: Gibby gives us three in ''one scene'':
** His uncle threw a pair of jeans at him (and we're never told why) and he decided to keep them.
** He has "accidents" involving his pants often enough that Sam (when he shows up pants-less) asks him if it happened ''[[OhNoNotAgain again]]''.
** He is not allowed to take pictures without his pants anymore. Though that could be a CallBack to the Jimmy Fallon incident in "i Shock America"...
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** PlayedForLaughs when the incident that got Pam arrested is explained:
--> '''Sam''': She was in Vegas and she went to a Celine Dion concert...
--> '''Carly''': That doesn't sound like something your mom would do.
--> '''Same''': ...and she thought Celine was lip syncing so she ran on stage and ripped out her hair extensions.
--> '''Carly''': ''That'' sounds like something your mom would do.
** PlayedForDrama with Sam, who (despite having a [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood rocky relationship]] [[ParentalNeglect with her mother]]) is genuinely concerned about Pam and does everything she can to bail her out, even going to Vegas and pawning off some of iCarly's prized possessions (namely the Texas potato chip and the bottle of the First Lady's DNA).
