* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Averted. Since this is on Creator/ParamountPlus and not Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, there isn't as much subtlety or dodging the censors as there was in the original show.

* RuderAndCruder: Compared to the original show, which leaned on GoshDangItToHeck and ParentalBonus (though given it was a Dan Schneider production, there was ''plenty'' of GettingCrapPastTheRadar), this show has mild profanity and mature themes slotted in, with all the subtlety of a bull in a China shop. Even Carly herself occasionally swears.

* OffscreenBreakup: The original series finale implied a TheyDo RelationshipUpgrade between Carly and Freddie since they shared one last smooch before parting ways. Unfortunately, they didn’t pursue a long distance relationship as they both went on to date other people while living apart separately for 8 years. Despite being reunited in the futuristic revival series as adults, Carly and Freddie haven’t gotten back together since Freddie's affections for Carly have faded away and his personal storyline revolves around him trying to pick himself up, be successful in life, and find the perfect girl, having been divorced (twice, actually). They do seem to harbour romantic feelings for each other and are subtly revisiting their long lost romance, since Carly nervously reminisces their previous romantic entanglement, as seen in "iTake a Girls' Trip".

* PlatonicLifePartners: Carly and Freddie. After 8 years of being apart, they’re reunited in this futuristic revival revisiting their long lost romance. The duo get MistakenForRomance in "iTake a Girls' Trip".

* TheAllegedCar: Carly's car "Vin Diesel" is in such bad shape that it would cost as much to fix it as it would to buy a new one. Carly doesn't want to give the car up and tries to fix it herself, failing miserably. After swallowing her pride and letting Wes try to fix it, he tells her it can't be fixed and Carly breaks down. The reason why she's so attached to the car is because she and Sam bought it together and spent much time together in it, and the car helps her feel connected to her old friend. Fortunately, Spencer keeps the remains part of the remains to make a new seat for the iCarly studio.

* OffscreenBreakup: The original series finale a TheyDo RelationshipUpgrade between Carly and Freddie since they shared one last smooch before parting ways. Unfortunately, they didn’t pursue a long distance relationship as they went on to date other people while living apart separately for 8 years. Despite being reunited in the futuristic revival series, Carly and Freddie haven’t gotten back together since Freddie's borderline-StalkerWithACrush tendencies are gone and his personal storyline revolves around him trying to find the perfect girl, having been divorced (twice, actually). They do seem to harbour romantic feelings for each other and are subtly revisiting their long lost romance, since Carly nervously reminisces their previous romantic entanglement, as seen in "iTake a Girls' Trip".

* DarkerAndEdgier: Due to being aimed at the kids who grew up with the show who are adults themselves now (as well as airing on Paramount+), the show has much more liberties, as such the characters can use profanity and drink alcohol. The jokes are also noticeably darker, one episode has Spencer accidentally hook Freddie up with a prostitute, and another one has a fortune teller die onscreen from an aneurysm, both are PlayedForLaughs.

* OffscreenBreakup: The end of the original series established a RelationshipUpgrade between Freddie and Carly only for the revival series to make no mention of it. In fact, Freddie's borderline-StalkerWithACrush tendencies are gone and his personal storyline revolves around him getting back into dating after two divorces. They do seem reluctant to discuss their previous romantic entanglement, as seen in "iTake a Girls' Trip".

* PlatonicLifePartners: Carly and Freddie. They get MistakenForRomance in "iTake a Girls' Trip".
* PushoverParents: Freddie is very bad at raising Millicent, falling for her guilt trips, and failing to discipline her. He finally stands up to Millicent in "iMLM", saying no when she asks for a dog. Though he does get her a goldfish as a compromise.
* PutOnABus: Sam Puckett is noticeably absent, and is mentioned by Carly and Freddie as having joined a biker gang called the Obliterators.

* RuderAndCruder: Compared to the original show, which leaned on GoshDangItToHeck and ParentalBonus (though given it was a Dan Schneider production, there was ''plenty'' of GettingCrapPastTheRadar), this show has mild profanity and mature themes slotted in, with all the subtlety of a bull in a China shop. Even Carly herself gets in a swear or two.

** Sam is written out due to Jennette [=McCurdy=] having retired from acting due in large part to her painful experiences during the original show. In-universe, it's explained that Sam is now part of a motorcycle gang.
** Gibby is nowhere to be found, but unlike Sam, his absence has yet to be explained. Though he's more likely to reappear at some point than Sam is.
* SettingUpdate: Much of the technology featured is more modern and up to date, such as Pear Phones looking more like real-life smartphones.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Millicent with most of the cast, particularly Carly and Harper.

* OffscreenBreakup: The end of the original series established a RelationshipUpgrade between Freddie and Carly only for the revival series to make no mention of it. In fact, Freddie's borderline-StalkerWithACrush tendencies are gone and his personal storyline revolves around him getting back into dating after two divorces.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Carly and Freddie. They get MistakenForRomance in "iTake a Girls' Trip". They do seem reluctant to discuss their previous romantic entanglement in the previous series, however.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Carly and Freddie. They get MistakenForRomance in "iTake a Girls' Trip".

* PushoverParents: Freddie is very bad at raising Millicent, falling for her guilt trips, and failing to discipline her.

* PrecisionFStrike: At least OncePerEpisode. Not even Carly is safe from this.

** Sam is written out due to Jennette [=McCurdy=] having retired from acting due in large part to her painful experiences during the original show.

* {{Foil}}: Harper to Sam as Carly's new best friend: the former is a RichesToRags black girl working a dead-end job at Skybucks while working to achieve her dream as a fashion designer and has no involvement in iCarly. The latter was a middle-class white girl who never put effort into anything other than iCarly and grew up to pursue a life of crime in a biker gang. Harper's treatment of Freddie is also ''significantly'' better than that of [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale Sam's]], with the two being well-acquainted through Carly.

** Spencer still holds the Jonas World Record for Most Moving Pieces on a Sculpture and has apparently done so for ''eight years straight'' (or ''14 years'' as of the episode's original air date[[note]] November 16, 2007. [[/note]].)

** The return of various recurring and minor characters from the series, such as Marissa, Nora, Nevel, Principal Franklin, Griffin, and even Duke (who only ever appeared once in the first season of the original series, in "iHatch Chicks").

* PushoverParents: Freddie is very bad at raising Millicent, falling for her guilt trips and failing to disciplining her.

* RuderAndCruder: Compared to the original show, which leaned on GoshDangItToHeck and ParentalBonus, this show has mild profanity and mature themes slotted in.

* AlliterativeName: Millicent Mitchell. Also Prunella Pitz (later [[spoiler:Papperman]].)

* BrandX: Zigzagged. This show does feature more real name brands than its predecessor, but still retains parodies such as Pear Products, Skybucks and Blessed Buy.

* {{Foil}}: Harper to Sam as Carly's new best friend: the former is a RichesToRags black girl working a dead-end job at Skybucks while working to achieve her dream as a fashion designer and has no involvement in iCarly.
