iRocked the Vote is the 10th episode in the 2nd season of iCarly.
After Carly and Sam encourage viewers to vote for David Archuleta to win America Sings, they feel bad for the runner-up and help him make a music video, but he turns out to be not as nice as they thought he was.
Meanwhile, Spencer forgets to return a rented movie to a store, so Sam teaches him how to lie.
Tropes:
- 13 Is Unlucky: The hotel room Wade is staying at is numbered 513.
- Bad Liar: Spencer shows shades of this. Sam on the other hand, excels at lying.
- Bait-and-Switch/Commercial Break Cliffhanger: The host of America Sings announces the winner is...going to be either Wade Collins or David Archuleta. Then, he announces the winner is...going to be revealed after the break. Averted the third time when he announces the winner is David Archuleta.
- Big Bad: Wade Collins.
- Consummate Liar: Sam is shown to be an excellent liar in this episode, despite her inability to come up with lies to Carly in "iSaw Him First"—granted, in that prior episode, Carly knows all about Sam's personal schedule, so it's a challenge to lie to someone who knows of your routine.
- Evil Brit/Evil Is Hammy: Wade Collins, once he reveals his true colors.Wade: I hate children, I hate teenagers, I hate animals, and I HATE AMERICA!
- Fake Artist: Wade's song "Cry Like a Lion" is actually the song "Crybaby" by Teaneck, one of Schneider's Bakery's in-house musical groups.
- Jerkass Has a Point: As much of a dick as he is, Wade was right to be angry at the iCarly crew for essentially rigging the vote against him, especially since it was implied he would have won otherwise.
- Only in It for the Money:Wade: I don't care about music, I want money!
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Wade Collins as he expresses his disgust towards Carly and the back up dancers for his music video.Wade: You're a bunch of stupid! American! Girls!
- Shout-Out:
- America Sings is obviously this universe's American Idol.
- Boogie Bear Takes Manhattan may be a parody of The Muppets Take Manhattan.
- Special Guest: American Idol winner David Archuleta.
- Too Important to Remember You: Wade Collins has Gibby act as his assistant and pronounces his name as "Jibbly." He ignores all attempts to correct him, but thankfully Gibby doesn't mind.Gibby: He can call me Jibbly.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Wade only lied about his mother needing surgery to guilt the iCarly trio into giving him whatever he wants. His mother is totally fine and healthy. (Although she is quite overweight, and could arguably use some liposuction, thus making Wade's claim not entirely false.)
