Recap / I Carly S 02 Ep 13 I Want My Website Back

Go To

When Spencer cancels his credit card in favor of a new one, causing the iCarly URL to be lost, the gang's crazy fan ends up buying it and eventually sells it to Nevel, who demands Carly kiss him if she wants it back.

Meanwhile, Spencer accidentally orders 200 pillows and tries to make the best of them.

Tropes:

  • Ambiguously Bi: While Disguised in Drag, Spencer is hit on by an older man. Later, after the man has found out that Spencer is a man in disguise, he tracks Spencer down and asks that he put the wig back on and start over.
  • Covered in Gunge: After the iCarly gang get Nevel's signature without Carly kissing him, thus getting their website back, Nevel again vows that they will rue the day. Carly gets a bucket containing a mixture of guacamole and slime, telling him to rue this. They then pour it all over Nevel, covering him from the head up.
  • Deus ex Machina: Mandy. She happened to buy the iCarly URL when Spencer accidentally lost it due to cancelling his credit card.
  • Disguised in Drag: In order to get Nevel's signature on a URL transfer document to give iCarly back to the main trio, Spencer dresses up as an elderly woman to an autograph setup from Nevelocity. At first, it appears to work, but Nevel then reveals that he isn't fooled in the slightest.
  • Don't Explain the Joke: When Carly and Sam are doing a segment that involves an idiot farm girl who mistakes a man's mustache (Sam in a costume), Mandy comes on the stage while on the air. She points out she finds it funny how the farm girl can be so stupid. Sam even exasperatedly lampshades this trope.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first appearance of Carly and Sam's original iCarly play known here as "The Cowboy with a Mustache and the Idiot Farm Girl who thought the Mustache was a Squirrel". In later episodes, it was referred to as "The Cowboy and the Idiot Farm Girl who thought the Cowboy's Mustache was a Squirrel".
  • Evil Gloating: When Nevel announces on the internet that he now owns iCarly, he proceeds to laugh evilly in triumph. He also makes puppet versions of Carly and Sam bury their heads in his armpits as he's doing this.
  • Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: When Freddie finds they no longer own iCarly.com because they were unable to charge the renewal fee, Carly notes it automatically charges Spencer's credit card, before realizing he cancelled that card to get a new one, thus losing the site.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you look closely when Mandy is hugging Spencer's leg, you can see the word PUMA on the bottom of her shoe. Which also doubles as Product Placement.
  • Hypocritical Humor:
    • When Carly agrees to kiss Nevel, he declares that she should be prepared to get a kiss from a REAL man. He then asks his mother to help prepare a bath for him.
    • Also, Gibby calls Mandy weird when she puts on her duck mask and quacks all over the Groovy Smoothie, then proceeds to take his shirt off while he goes to order a smoothie.
  • I'll Kill You!: Sam says she'll kill Mandy for cutting off a lock of her hair. Carly, who's holding Sam back, assures the audience that is watching the live feed that she won't.
  • Jump Scare: The last part of the iCarly webcast at the beginning has Carly and Sam stage a fake game for a schoolmate and Gibby shoots his hand at her.
  • Let Me at Him!: When Mandy spots a part of Sam's real hair poking out of her costume, she cuts it off and goes to put it in the trash. Sam furiously gets up and Carly holds her back.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero / "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Spencer cancels his credit card and gets a new one; without the old one, the iCarlys cannot renew their URL, causing it to be lost. If he had informed them of this beforehand, they might have taken steps to keep the URL. Additionally, the iCarlys could have avoided the entire fiasco by adding Spencer's new credit card onto the billing system.
  • No, You:
    Nevel: Now first... this. (Applies lip gloss)
    Carly: No. First... THIS! (Reveals coupling link on shirt and hooks up) Bye, Nevel!
  • Oh, Crap!: Carly and Freddie have an EPIC one when they see that the person who bought their website is Loony Fan Mandy.
  • Product Placement: In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, Mandy can be seen wearing Puma Unlimited hi-top sneakers.
  • The Scream: By Carly and Freddie when they see Mandy's picture.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The password to access iCarly.com is "Samlovesham".
  • Title Drop: Almost word-per-word by Carly when she talks to Nevel:
    Carly: I just want my website back!
  • Toilet Humor: The episode begins with Carly and Sam making chicken soup... in a toilet.
  • Unsound Effect: Mandy's laugh can be heard right when Freddie clicks her name.
  • [Verb] This!: When Carly flees up from Neville by extension with the signed URL paper.
    Nevel: You'll pay for this, Carly Shay. You'll rue this day!
    Carly: [To the rest of the iCarlys] Give me the guacamole. [To Nevel, about to pour it] Rue THIS, Nevel!
