I think it is different for people because Sam is very rarely the butt of jokes like this. People are just about 100% more invested in Sam than Gibby or even Spencer. People can say either Gibby or Spencer are their favorite characters, and mean it, but neither of them are the fully realized rounded out character that Sam is. It feels shocking because Sam is like a person to us not the butt of a random joke with no pay off. If you think about it this kind of random stuff never happens to Carly or Sam. The closest is Freddie sending her to meet her crush at the mall (which was a natural conclusion).

I am not saying it wasn't supposed to be a joke. I am just saying that this is why it is different for people.

Also, they did address Gibby in the chimney. Carly remembered and it is implied they went to get him.
