* In "IHatch Chicks", Freddie accidentally searches for the site "World of Chucks.com" after attempting to search for a chick information site. This slip-up makes sense considering that the U and I key are next to each other and he was hurrying to find the site.

** Worse yet, Sam says in that episode that she never got any visitors until Carly? Meaning not even her own mother and sister visited her.

* "iGo To Japan": Employing English-illiterate security guards to man the entrances of a venue holding an international contest of various webshows, most of which speak English, in a country where the vast majority of people know [[GratuitousEnglish at least a few English words]], but they don't even know those.
** Also, why would they put they put the sign: "I Do Not Speak Spanish" in English? Wouldn't they put it in Spanish? This goes for the "I Do Not Speak French" sign.
** In the same episode, the original videos by the Japanese and French contestants that Carly, Freddie and Sam look up are both in English for some reason.
* "iStart A Fan War" tried to equate the shippers in-universe with the shippers in real life, except that the equivalency was flawed. Firstly, there is a huge difference between internet fandom are how people would act in real life. People don't go crazy at Miranda, Jennette and Nathan in real life at their public appearances, which is what the Webicon panel would have been like. It would have been Carly Shay, Freddie Benson and Sam Puckett, 3 'real-life' teenage kids who host a web show making a public appearance. Just like how Miranda, Jen and Nathan are 3 real life teenage kids who play parts on a TV show do public appearances. People don't go up to them and go crazy like portrayed on the show.
** They're not acting, it's their real selves, and the fans are shipping the actual people of Carly, Sam, and Freddie.
** People in real life simply ''don't'' act like that in regards to public/con appearances.
*** [[HandWave It was a]] [[TakeThat Take That]] [[FanDumb to the audience.]]
* "iStart A Fanwar": Isn't chlorine gas green, as well as DEADLY? What was Spencer thinking? Might go under Fridge Horror, considering how we don't see Jack Black get back up at the end of the episode...
** If it was actual chlorine gas, you'd have known long before the end of the scene, as he'd have been coughing up a lung. And the "he" in question is everyone from Spencer to Jack Black to the guys watching them in the audience.
* "iBelieve In Bigfoot" and "iWant Locker 239": Sam steals Mrs. Briggs bullhorn, and then gives it to Freddie and runs away with Carly. Freddie then gets in trouble when he tells Mrs. Briggs it was Sam, she doesn't believe him. Same thing goes for what happens in ''Locker 239'', with the locker party and Sam's mom destroying the wall. Really? Sam, arguably the most infamous student at the school at least in their age grade, and Freddie, the nerdy NiceGuy, and they ignore him telling them Sam did it?
** Partly FridgeBrilliance: Considering the teachers mentioned, they probably just look for an excuse to punish anyone (Punishing Gibby for being "too Gibby"?)
* Carly looks at the Japanese instruction manual in "iPromise Not to Tell", and guesses "lamp" in Japanese is "rampu". She's right, but the loanword "rampu" should have been in katakana, so how could she have read it?
** What if it was in romaji? Perhaps in a multi-language instruction booklet? (I know next to nothing about Japanese beyond some high school lessons, so forgive any ignorance.)
** It's likely that since the instruction booklet was so cheaply made, they didn't bother to get an actual Japanese input method editor to write in proper Japanese and just wrote it with a regular keyboard. Alternately, Carly could have a very basic knowledge of the writing system, which more and more kids into anime do these days.
** And in the episode "iPie", Carly's wearing a shirt with katakana on it in one scene.
** Spencer: "Good luck. It's in Japanese."
** She clearly knows enough that what is written as "ranpu" (ランプ) is pronounced as "rampu". Plus, it would make sense that Carly would know ''some'' Japanese after going to Japan (this is the first episode where the iWeb Award is visible in the studio).

* In an in-universe blog post from the iCarly website, Freddy complains that his mother doesn't want him having a pearphone because she thinks it's dangerous for him to have an electronic device so close to his head. While this may seem like her being her usual overbearing self, we learn in the series proper that his mother implanted an electronic tracking chip into his skull when he was a baby. Which may in fact mean that she doesn't think this about electronics in general, but for Freddy specifically because she's worried about it interfering with the tracker. Or, crossing into Fridge Horror territory, she may be worried about the tracker and/or device having adverse reactions to each other, which would proceed to ''harm'' Freddy if the hypothetical malfunction(s) caused damage near or even ''inside'' his head.

** The fact he tricked Sam and her Mom into the room is bad enough, as that could earn him a malpractice suit at worst, the fact he also tricked Carly, a teenager he had absolutely no power over as she was not a patient, into the room, and refused to let her out when she started having a claustrophobia induced panic attack made it much worse, as that was blatant false imprisonment and kidnapping. The fringe comes in when you realize he didn't hesitate at all to lock an unrelated girl in a room until the parent and child "loved each other" makes this trouper wonder how many times he's done so, and how many people he did it to who weren't patients.

* Nevel has despised Carly ever since she shoved tapenade on his face for trying to kiss him. However, his romantic obsession towards her still doesn't dwindle. This is reflected by the screens in his HackerCave which show a montage of Carly's ''close-up shots''. That is some FoeYay and StalkerWithACrush FridgeHorror.

* After "iLove You", you'll notice in the final episodes of iCarly, and later in the spin-off Sam & Cat, Sam actually changes a little bit and shows to be and do more good, while still being the character we've recognized for so long. Once in awhile, we'd see her either save someone and stand up to bullies for other kids ("iRescue Carly" and "iBattle Chip" are perfect examples of this), and she once was rewarded to the FatCake Factory in Canada for decent behavior while live on iCarly once. It goes even further in Sam & Cat as she gets into less trouble and regularly has to guide the characters of that show out of a situation.

** Gibby's presence also makes ''iCarly'' a better show, because he's a kid-friendly version of [[Series/{{Jackass}} Johnny Knoxville]]. He's the one that will do [[CrazyAwesome the really crazy, over-the-top stunts and dares]], and as ''iParty With Victorious'' showed at least four times, Gibby is a ''huge'' fan favorite. who even celebrities like [[Series/KenanAndKel Kenan Thompson]] are interested in watching.

* In iChristmas, it's shown that Sam ended up in juvie without Carly to act as a MoralityChain to her. Now consider that in the main timeline of the show Sam has frequently beaten up Freddie, enslaved children to work for her defaced property and other criminal/unethical acts. Just how bad was she in the iChristmas timeline to land in juvie?

* The "therapy box" in ISam'sMom is actually a horrible idea when you think about it. The therapist was lucky Sam and Pam really do love each other, but that's not the case with all family members, not even with all mothers and daughters. In the worst case, he would have trapped an abuse victim with their abuser.

* When "iOMG" first aired and [[spoiler: Sam suddenly kissed Freddie]], people were really skeptical about Seddie and thinking that Sam & Freddie's kiss came out of the blue. But consider this: after Sam & Freddie's first kiss, they seem a little more friendly to each other, while at the same time Sam sometimes is more mean towards him. This can be because Sam's feelings for Freddie actually began to grow after they shared their first kiss with each other. And her being mean to Freddie even more could've been her way of trying to deny it. Also remember that in iLost My Mind, she believed that it wasn't possible for her to be his girlfriend anyway. However, when Freddie encourages her to open up about her feelings to the guy she's in love with, she accepted his advise really seriously and for a moment, she let herself go and express her feelings to the one who she's in love with: Freddie.

* Sam's shown to be so happy when Spencer rewards her the motorcycle in "iGoodbye". Dan Schneider even mentions in his fun facts that it's not every day that Sam gets a gift like this from anyone that would be special to her. In the spin-off, [[spoiler: she mentions how growing up, she'd never get good gifts and definitely not from her own mom.]] So this scene is even more special and Jennette [=McCurdy=] does a brilliant job showing Sam the happiest she's probably ever been in her whole life to receive such a heartwarming gift.

* Remember in "[=iGo=] to Japan" when Freddie said about the competing show "Kyoko and Yuki" having an "homefield advantage," since it's a Japanese web show and the iWeb Awards was being held in Japan? Kyoko and Yuki didn't see it that way because even if they have a "homefield advantage," it wouldn't matter because (in their minds), Series/ICarly is a web show juggernaut very appealing to many on an international basis. Which is why [[spoiler: they kidnapped them under the pretense of taking them shopping before the award show and left them in the middle of nowhere.]]
