* AdaptationDecay: The episode involved the webshow being bought to produce for television. By the end of the episode, Freddie the producer had quit working on the show completely, they added a zany mascot, the DeadpanSnarker sidekick was fired too, and when the lead quit, she was replaced by a sitcom family, and they changed the title. Yet the network considered it the same show, despite not ''even'' being InNameOnly.

* BigBad: Brad Brenner takes the role as main antagonist, buying out the [=iCarly=]'s copyrights but then refusing to let them input their own ideas and overruling them on everything with his own stupid, lackluster ideas.
* TheCameo: Steve Hoefer, one of Schneider Bakery's resident directors, plays the director for the show.

* TheDitz: Brad Brenner, who is much more obsessed with generating appeal to audience demographics to boost ratings than listening to other people's ideas on how to make comedy. He doesn't even bother with a test audience (other than his daughter, as well as a group of network executives), he hires mediocre writers and his own pursuit for higher ratings only backfire and hurt his career.

* JerkAss: Brad Brenner.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Brad firing Sam can be this. Sure, Brad is a smug moron who refuses to listen to the team's ideas for the show but he did have a point that Sam attacking Zeebo was not good and is justified grounds for dismissal in any work environment.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Most likely after this episode ends, now without Carly and Sam's creative input which he stubbornly refused out of pride that his own ideas are wiser, Brad Brenner's own idea for a TV show is doomed to flop. Harper also crashed his Porsche.

* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Or in this case, "Misplaced Children’s Show Producer". Brad Brenner hears that little children love dinosaurs, and so he decides to add in a character named "Zeebo" who is a person in a goofy dinosaur costume that sings childish songs. Even though this show is supposed to be for preteens, and dinosaurs are targeted towards little children.

* PetTheDog: When Brad Brenner realizes that iCarly is now almost nothing like it originally was as a webshow, he realizes that he went too far. So, he uses this setup to make a new show that is not associated with iCarly at all, and the iCarlys get their webshow back.

* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: Freddie is taken off technical producer and given the job of supervising producer. He thinks that job sounds cool, but his job involves him being ordered by Brad Brenner to perform humiliating and demeaning tasks such as putting ice on a fat man’s sweaty stomach and looking after a SpoiledBrat's sickly dog who barfs on him. When he finally is ordered to unclog the producer’s toilet, he hits his RageBreakingPoint and quits.
** Also, Harper is taken off his job as keyboard player and replaces Zeebo. But when he has to perform a song that tastes like diabetes, he promptly stops in the middle of it and says this job sucks.
