Hey Quinton, just letting you know I'm 40, so I actually get the Geraldo Rivera chair joke. Not sure who else will, as I feel I'm the older part of most YT audiences. Great work, glad the drive thing wasn't an issue in the end, or that you got past it by just doing it all over again. You're my favorite new sub this year, and a possible patronage. Huge Garfield fan too.

[@Dukeofnachos]

Actually, hang on, I have a second comment. What I don't get is: why didn't they, instead of having all those jokes about Spencer not having adult friends, just... have him and T-Bo be friends? It gives T-Bo a reason to hang out at the Shay apartment, it gives the writers a new dynamic to work with, it gives Spencer a friend that can appear on screen. It'd be perfect. Just give them a bromance. It's that easy. I mean, personally I wouldn't have made Spencer get kicked out of the book club either. You know what's funnier than "Spencer has no friends"? "Spencer actually has loads of friends that we just don't know about because the show is about his little sister". Just imagine gag after gag about large groups of people who know Spencer, and in increasingly weird or oddly specific niches, and the rest of the cast has no idea who any of them are. Instead of making Spencer into "weird man-child who can only hang out with teenagers because they're about as mature as him" they could have made him what I think he originally was: "Cool older brother who has his own fun and quirky life in the background".

[@enzmondo]

Writing Sam’s mother an abusive parent is alarming. The writers and producers essentially capitalised on Jeanette’s struggles personal life and forced her to re-enact it in front of the entire world. That’s just gross to begin with.

[@pie1o1morris46]

I don't know if she was re-enacting it exactly. Cause while yes it is fucked up that both the actress and the character Sam had an abusive mom, they were abusive in different ways (except for the pageant thing). Sam's mom was more physically abusive and distant and seemed like she didn't really care about her daughter, the pair always fighting. Jennette's mom was more like Freddy's mom, being overly clingy and controlling. And at the time Jennette didn't realize it was abuse. She thought she and her mom were best friends and worshiped the ground she walked on. Her mom would manipulate her by crying and playing the victim whenever Jennette did something she didn't like.

[@taeminislove]

I'm willing to be that it's pure coincidence especially since abusive/absent parents seemed to be a common thing in iCarly. Also, despite everyone on here saying that the people working on iCarly probably knew the abuse, I honestly doubt it. Abusive parents are not exactly easy to spot unless the person being abused talks about their experiences. And from what we know Jeanette, at that point of her life, hasn't realized that she was in an abusive relationship. Abusive parents are pretty good at seeming like just overly protective parents with clingy children. If it was so easy to spot abuse, no one would've even been shocked at Jeanette's confession. Just cause we're seeing things in a different light in hindsight doesn't mean that those things were apparent/obvious back then. And I'm not defending Dan. He's a piece of shit. But it's tiring seeing people make conclusions that everyone was just in on it and wanted to make Jeanette relieve the abuse she endured behind closed doors for the laughs when we have no actual concrete proof to say that.

[@aspiringjoker2883]

Among the huge issues with the treatment of Sam and her actress, Jeanette McCurdy, one of the ones that bothers me the most and that I often think about is how Dan Schneider insisted her character be obsessed with food, despite knowing that Jeanette was struggling with an eating disorder at the time. It's so unnecessary, cruel, and comes across as an attempt to control a young teenage girl who was already really struggling. As well as her real-life manipulative and abusive mother being an underlying factor to her eating disorder, and the show seemingly using this in her character with Sam's abusive mother. It's just plain gross and it bothers me that the network and other adults involved in iCarly production allowed this, and the other maltreatment that took place.

It's actually funny now because sometimes my parents would make comments about these shows like "why are they dressed so grown?" etc. and I would brush it off as lame parents but now as an adult, I see why my parents were wary because they could see how these studios were selling these literal children as sex objects and abusing them.

Like, how fucking sick is that? She already went through so much trauma and it was like she was reliving the entire thing during her acting career. No wonder she doesn't want to go to the revival, her entire character is just a big traumatic trigger. Not to mention she had to survive fucking Dan Scheider, that fucking creep. There's videos of him going up to the cast of Victorious and they look borderline terrified.

I wouldn't say anything cringey like her role in a tween's TV show "sAvEd My LiFe" but I'm not ashamed to say I was inspired. It breaks my heart to hear that she suffered the same, and her suffering was made to be nothing more than a prop for teh funniez.

One thing I find weird about the Sam and Freddie relationship is that it's implied that the reason Sam was always mean to Freddie is because she secretly liked him and didn't know how to process her feelings. But it's shown that she still has these same violent tendencies even after they start dating, they just aren't directed at Freddie anymore. Which kind of implies that these previous attacks on Freddie weren't actually because she liked him, but because Sam is a very damaged person who is prone to violent outbursts. So the show kind of accidentally deconfirms it's own reason as to why these two get together in the first place. I'm definitely over analyzing, but it's just kind of weird that they did that.

[@rosalierowan]

Nah I don’t think you are overanalyzing, I always felt that it was implied that she just has these outbursts bc she has anger issues or something, not because she would like anyone.

The scene where Gibby "dies".... the way the man bounced and was so still after... I thought, without a shadow of a doubt that that was a doll.

And that the cast and writers crack(ed) jokes about it is sociopathic.

I myself thought the same thing! Like there HAD to be some kind of mattress there or a dummy because there’s no way anybody would just allow a man to bellyflop onto CONCRETE. That made me laugh as a kid… and now knowing that man went through so much pain for my entertainment makes me sick

I also know he was young when it happened and as we've learned filming a Nickelodeon tv show can expose you to stuff that can really alter your world view and tragically make kids grow up far too fast, but Noah didnt seem too phased talking about that stuntman's accident on that podcast which is kinda grim. Heck im not even like trying to give the guy a hard time ive gone through some grim things and responded even hours later with dark jokes or muses on the situation but its still kinda uncomfortable to say the least

[@kayleawilson]

What’s worse to me is that Gibby was always supposed to conjure laughs. Like anytime he was on screen, we were conditioned to laugh. So when he (the stuntman) fell, the first instinct is to laugh, since it’s a kids show and it’s GIBBY. Then we are faced with a reality where we laugh at something the writer’s always knew was actually horrible-and they enjoyed that

[@GamerSisters]

I also thought it was a dummy because that's.... literally what you're supposed to do at that grand of a fall. Hell, a lot of kid shows couldn't even afford stuntmen so they would use dolls and it was pretty obvious by the absolute ragdoll-ness whenever they would throw the dummy around. So I thought surely they would do the same, even though I thought the "dummy" looked too human. But I refused to believe it was an actual person because it wouldn't make sense that you'd make an actual person fall from that height... right??? Well this video opened that can of worms

[@annalivingtv]

The writers were kinda evil. They liked torturing the actors. You talked about the stuntman incident where the writers made a joke about Gibby having broken ribs in the fall when they know the stuntman did break ribs and had to go to the hospital. They wrote that in as a reference that only the people on set would know it’s just to be evil. And then everyone has mentioned Jeannette McCurdy who they directly reflected/exacerbated the poor home life and ED of. Why? They could have made her trait anything they didn’t HAVE to make her obsessed with eating, they didn’t HAVE to make her mom abusive in the show. But they did-because it effected her. It made no difference to the audience. The writers were truly cruel (and to the people saying they didn’t know I don’t believe that for a second, first of all because it’s so perfectly parallel and second because I don’t think it was hidden very well or intently, especially from producers in fact Jeanette blatantly said her mother was openly abusive on set and she was hospitalized MID SEASON for ED. Yes they knew.)

I knkw this video is like a year old but I wanna try to shed some light on the injured stuntman situation. I'm not in the industry of stunts but as far as I know, there's a sort of pact or unspoken rule in stunts where if a stunt performer gets hurt doing a stunt (and it still looks good) that's the take you should use in the final cut. It's like a respect thing for the stunt performers if they were to get injured.

[@morgangunning30]

I've heard this as well. there's a scene in back to the future II, when biff and his gang are launched through big windows of a building, and you can see one of the stuntmen (woman, in this case) not actually hit the window, but the side of the building, where she falls and crumples to the ground. she survived but was so seriously injured! and it's in the movie! and there are many stories about films like that. I feel as though it's due to the unspoken agreement to use the take, as well as it just being more convenient to use that take as opposed to taking the time to find new stunt doubles to film another one. as unorthodox as it sounds, the show really must go on.

I understand the feelings involved, but I think were I Colonel Shay I would have insisted Carly stay in Seattle since (it would appear from my outside perspective), my military service wouldn't go on for too much longer and I'd be retiring in a matter of a few years' time (unless I were a career military man, in which case dragging Carly along with me would be either short term or it would ruin her prospects long-term).

I identified heavily with Sam as a kid, as I also have an abusive single mother and even lived with my friends for months at a time. Watching your video actually made me realize Sams character had a direct hand in some of my behavior as a preteen- I was beating up boys at school. A lot. I thought being loud, angry, and "tough" was cool and admirable. Looking back though, Sam was a straight up bully and so was I. I wish the show had better messaging around her abuse and better character growth for her so that other kids out there like me could've seen it. Also the "violence is funny when it's a girl doing it to a boy" thing in kids shows (and media in general) HAS TO STOP. This is why men who are abused don't come forward and why abusive women see their behavior as acceptable. Ugh I'm actually mad one of my favorite shows as a kid did us so dirty. I'm glad my nieces watch Stephen Universe instead.

It's not played for comedy (most of the time), which is a step forward, but it still deals with heavier subject matters extremely poorly in my opinion.

Not to mention the plot about Sam taking her abuse out on Gibby because she's "sweet on Freddie" could have been handled in away to build the characters mental health. Sam was wasn't normal and she needed help. It almost felt like the writers didn't know Sam at all. They built up this emotionally abusive child from season one only to have this hurt child flee away from her problems by the end of the show. Not to mention the actors had natural TV chemistry. It literally set itself up and the writers ruined it. It could have been an eye opener to the probably many children who have bad home lives.

The power differential between parents and children also goes with more responsibility.

[@psionicsknight6651]

@@BrendanJSmithI do too. I mean… Quinton has a right to his own preference, of course, but the show goes out of its way *so much* to show that Sam would be an abusive girlfriend to Freddie, that the idea of it fulfilling the “sitcom enemies to lovers” trope in iCarly is… kind of ridiculous. Like, for me, I think a better idea is that if Seddie were to happen, have both Sam and Freddie bring out the best in each other-have Sam become calmer and less reactionary due to both Freddie *and* Carly’s presence, and have Freddie become more protective and confidant with Sam. To be honest, a couple of ideas I thought up when watching this video is that a good scene could be Sam defending Freddie from Mrs. Benson by telling her she’s being overbearing and is doing more harm than good with her actions, which shows how she is empathizing with Freddie more (and, if this happened prior to them dating, it could end with Freddie gratelfully and happily stating, “No one’s ever defended me like that before,” indicating he might be developing feelings for her) Similarly, another scene (perhaps after they start dating) could have Sam admit she hates her home life but doesn’t know what to do to leave it, and Freddie proposes that when they both come of age, they’ll get an apartment together so they can leave their old, toxic families behind. And granted… even as a Creddie fan from day one, I do admit I see a lot of issues with Freddie ending up with Carly too, since while I think she is nicer, some scenes do imply Carly is more of a “passive” version of Sam (i.e. instead of directly hurting him, she just let’s him be hurt or is opportunistic about using his issues for comedy). Ultimately, though, I kind of feel like this is a bit of a continuous flaw of Dan Schneider’s writing-regardless of the man himself and what he has done, he can’t seem to write sitcom relationships that are, in essence, dysfunctional at best, abusive at worst, and try to play it like it’s just a dark form of comedy.

iCrime 46 technically could also be filming and streaming patients in a closed mental health facility. If they didn’t get permission from any of their legal caretakers or lawyers, that’s a HIPAA violation!

Considering it wasn't stopped and you can see the staff on-board (or at least not against) it, we can assume they approved, i would presume the show would show Sam tying them up if they were against it (making that Icrime 47)

It's actually not a hipaa violation, although it's probably illegal. Hipaa is for medical information shared by your DOCTOR. It doesn't affect you sharing it yourself or random people sharing it.

No it's not a lay person cannot commit a HIPAA violation

1st of all HIPAA only applies to doctors and health insurance 2rd of all it would still be illegal just under a different privacy related crime
