Stockholm Syndrome is a disambiguation


Creddie is the OfficialCouple. Creator/MirandaCosgrove is the star. Creddie has been [[ShipTease teased]], [[JustFriends flirted with]], hooked up and broken up ''without'' ShipSinking for 70+ episodes and they keep playing and touching each other all the damn time now. There are so many negatives and questions that a Sam/Freddie hookup would bring such as Freddie appearing mentally unstable after Sam has beat the crap out of him for 70+ episodes, making it look like StockholmSyndrome, make Sam look like a rebound, make her look like a complete bitch for treating him that way whilst hiding 'secret feelings' and has the potential to ruin the increasingly weak comedic side of the show in an effort for a cheap ratings stunt to pacify the online fans that only end up being a 0.01% of the actual viewer numbers. Sam also has a canon PrecociousCrush on Spencer.

* You know how much swearing and other adult content is in Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses? They couldn't outright have it in a plot, MoralGuardians would freak.

Acceptable Targets is an index and indexes can't be linked anywhere besides other indexes and trope descriptions (when appropriate).


*** You are not alone. It's Sam's behavior which made me give up on the show. Apparently it's okay for a girl to be a total bitch to all but a few people, especially if it's a boy [[AcceptableTargets who happens to be a nerd]]. [[DoubleStandard Nevermind the backlash if it were the other way around]]. Sam and Freddie are VitriolicBestBuds? A CurbStompBattle-equivalent, maybe (How the hell does what Freddie has done to Sam equivalent to her ''throwing him out of a treehouse'') but definitely not best buds. If the likes of [[JerkSue Sam Puckett and Alex Russo]] are really the epitome of "awesome female characters," then I'll stick with the likes of ''Series/HannahMontana''. At least their behavior doesn't drive me to change the channel out of disgust.

* For that matter, Carly kinda seems like a stoner at times too. There are numerous occasions when she repeats a funny sounding word the gently laughs a la WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead. Aside from pranks, she writes most of the material on iCarly which is on the Main page as [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs not being written with a clear head]], I for one love stoner comedy and characters, but they are as close to a G-rated/Nickelodeon version of Female WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead expies as you can get. The writers and cast do a great job of not making Carly and Sam seem like airheads, but shows that they are far from being geniuses, but YMMV.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* I think I can elaborate, Steven and Audrey Shay had vastly different parenting styles. Steven implemented his [[DrillSergeantNasty miltary training]] to raise Spencer and Drake, horrifying the overly-lenient Audrey to the point that when she got pregnant with girls, she knew to protect them from a [[OverprotectiveDad miserable exsistence]], she had to divorce him. After a heated arguement a few years later, Steven agreed along these terms, they would each get one boy and one girl, and meet back every other year to compare results. Spencer, then a bookworm determined to be a lawyer to [[WellDoneSonGuy impress his father]] opted to stay with Steven, automaticaly giving Drake to Audrey. They decided that Carly, the more disiplined twin, even at three, would work better with Steven, So Audrey, with Drake and Megan in tow, moved to California. The sudden lack of disipline causes Drake and Megan to act out, becoming the children they are today. At the first of the biennial meetings, Steven is proven right and Audrey agrees to be a bit more strict, turning her in to the Audrey Parker of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh''. Drake evens out, but Megan, missing the days of leniency, goes underground with her unadulterated assult of pranks toward Drake. Catching on to this at the next meeting, Audrey asked Steven for a solution, and what Steven suggested was so harsh it triggered a fight so explosive it not only put an end to all further meetings, it gave Carly her last athsma attack, traumatized by [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone nearly losing his daughter]], Steven renounces his strict ways and becomes the beloved dad held fondly in Carly's memories. Carly lost memory of Audrey,Drake, Megan and her father's stricter persona after her attack, but Spencer remembers, which is why he never told Steven about his dropping out of law school. No one ever speaks of Audrey fearing either Stephen relapsing into DrillSergeantNasty or Carly's memories of her dad before shattering her image of him, driving her over the edge. They've seen her develop claustrophobia after 3 hours in a space pod, imagine Daddy's little girl remembering how mean daddy was

** Too true. The "rivalry" for who gets to be Carly's best friend is basically a [[TriangRelations love triangle]], complete with Sam clearly willing to resort to [[MurderTheHypotenuse drastic measures]].

The iCarly main trio accurately depicts three of the five protagonists of Jetman: [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]] Kaori had always been pining around TheHero Ryu (who shrugs her off), wherein TheLancer Gai had an affection for Kaori and tensions arise between the two males. Like in the show, past episodes will be revisited after Carly's discovery of the truth. She steps out of the way to give chance to her best friends while she herself reconsiders how she took Freddie for granted far too long. Sam and Freddie will date as part of the story arc (as Gai and Kaori did), while Carly will still have her occasional flings. However, the entire "opposites attract" philosophy doesn't work well between Sam and Freddie as personal differences kick in and they nevertheless break up. Carly then realizes that even with her recent relationships, nothing was better than with Freddie and overcomes the entire "hero worship" thing, to which Sam then supported till the very end without hard feelings between them. The TriangRelations is retained well without straining the friendship, as it did in Jetman.

Think about it - ''Series/ICarly'' consists entirely of completely random occurrences, with very few real jokes - ''ideal'' fodder for WebAnimation/YoutubePoop.
