yes, because other people doing it makes it OK...
iCarly is iCarly. It isn't like any other show; it is its own thing. Saying this episode is risque for this show is saying it is for this show; no other. It isn't compared to older shows. If you do that you're being unfair on the basis of the other shows. Just because you don't consider this special as risque as something else from an entirely different show does not mean it isn't risque. Too further illustrate this, let me use a common example I use many times in life. Say I talk to my friends about how funny I thought a recent Simpsons episode was. My friends say something like "It was funny, but it wasn't as funny as Family Guy." Obviously both shows are different style and content wise, so naturally, how is it fair to compare them? Yes, they are both cartoons and aired generally towards the same ages, but that's it. The writing isn't the same, so why is it a fair thing to judge them? Also, just because it is "Not as funny as Family Guy" doesn't mean it wasn't funny at all
and just because they are still aired doesn't mean they aren't old (or at least older than iCarly). I mean, if there was a show that aired in the 80's but still had syndication to this day, would that not be considered an old show? Basically that's what you're saying, just because the shows are still airing doesn't necessarily(sp) mean they aren't old
I honestly say this might be my favorite iCarly TV movie ever. I'd go a bit more far to say this is my favorite episode/movie in season 3 so far.
I liked it that much. The jokes clicked and I felt most things worked really well into the story. Plus, the fight scene at the end was all sorts of epic. Gibby owns! Oh, and so does his little brother.
I thought it episode was good the firstpart kinda sucked and the second part was awesome i deff loved the fighting scene! btw REALLY STUPID Quistion but what is Diffrent strokes??

Also were did I say they werent old? I said compared to those this wasnt risque, more so since youths today watch them. The fact of the matter is what I did was a common and acceptable practice, you just need to learn to deal with it. This is over right now, going deeper would just derail this thread off topic which is never ok. I won't respond to you anything, so replying is a waste of bandwith and time. You can reply of course, I can't stop you, but that doesnt mean I have to or will acknowledge it. Do as you wish, but so will I.
Comparing iCarly to Ren and Stimpy? THAT'S acceptable? What makes that more acceptable than my comparison? Family Guy and The Simpsons are on the same network, Ren and Stimpy was on Nick which iCarly is on. Basically if mine doesn't work, neither does yours. And yes, of course I know Family Guy's mature content is what makes people laugh, but the same goes for Simpsons (who aren't as adult-oriented but still). This whole thing started because of someone saying they thought this was risque. They were talking about risque for THIS Show, ergo it was pointless to say it wasn't risque comparing to other shows. Discussion here is for iCarly, not Nick in general. I hate when people compare shows on forums/topics. Obviously they're allowed to, but IMO it is O/T, because you're here to talk about the one show, not compare/contrast different shows. It's like, yes, they can, everyone can say whatever they want (with limits of course), but still. Nothing I said in my comparison about Family Guy or Simpsons will get laughed at by someone, and if they did laugh it is probably because they didn't understand a word I said (or they saw the name of one of the shows and laughed), because it made sense. People often think one of those shows is funnier/better than the other. It doesn't mean anything, but comparing them is pointless, which is what i was trying to get at. Basically, this thread went off topic the instant you mentioned this episode wasn't risque as compared to the other shows you mentioned. I mean, if I saw a movie/TV show which I liked, I like it, but I'm not gonna compare it to another movie of the same genre; it's basically pointless. If I see a comedy which had a lot of adult content and say this, I'm not gonna say "Oh but this other movie had a lot more content, this was just tame to that." Obviously you can, it is your opinion, but it's useless to compare movies/TV shows in ways like this. If someone compared iCarly to Victorious or something, then that would be OK because they are geared towards the same people, have the same basic type of humor, etc. But comparing iCarly to Ren and Stimpy and any other show you mentioned? They are totally different. It's like if I compare Simpsons to Spongebob; obviously Simpsons are more adult/teen oriented than Spongebob, so it would be a waste of my time. But if I did, say, King of the Hill/Futurama vs Simpsons, then it would make sense because generally they have the same type of humor. I agree we should end this (as really it is quite sad to argue over...), because it is quite apparent neither of us will agree with the other, and I do agree that it is O/T(slightly), so... yea.
just noticed, but i like how you put "you can write back but i won't answer or acknowledge it". LOL, i don't care if you don't respond, but "not acknowledging it"? Really? That's as if you're saying "Yea, well, I don't give a dang about your opinion in any case so I'm just gonna ignore it." Lol
Doesn't any feel like this episode was like that movie...Misery? Nora acts crazy/happy/psychotic, just like Annie Wilkes. But luckily she didn't break their feet...hehe...hehe...god that scares the hell out of me
Gonna try and bring this back on topic: Overall I thought this was OK. Guppy was amazing and needs to come back! Anyone notice Daniella Monet at the party (from Victorious?)? I liked the Diff'rent Strokes reference. I like to think that was a tribute to Gary Coleman. If not, then it's a weird... coincidence. "You watch a lot of classic TV, huh?" "What are you talking about?" I'm getting kind of sick of the cowboy/girl thing with Carly playing the girl who thinks items are various other things. I don't really find it funny a lot of the time. I do have to say, I thought the entire Spencer/Gibby/camp subplot was dumb. Spencer trying to fix the stuff and then having more to fix... it was lame. Spencer first meeting Guppy and thinking it was Gibby was funny. Hm... why doesn't Gibby's mom wanna see Spencer? Haha. The clown dying was weird. I was expecting it because it was mentioned here earlier but still. Thought that was gonna be handled differently. "Happy Birthday!" being repeated by anyone else would be annoying. Not for Guppy! Basically, it was alright. A little average, maybe a little above. Can't wait for funfacts
This episode has made gibby the best person in the world, in my eyes. Made my little crush on Noah even bigger. And his brother = Cutest little guy in the world.

I originally thought it was on the cheek however it looks like it was on the lips. I've seen a gif, screenshots, and the scene itself a few times and it looks like a lip kiss.

I found the episode strange. They've done the crazy fan bit before & this was just a extreme version of that. To me it would have been far more believable if she kidnapped them when they first got there in an effort to force them to be her friends, & not so she would remain popular.
The balance between lighthearted & serious just wasn't there & it was kind of depressing IMO.
