IGet Pranky

iGet Pranky is the third episode of Season Four, and 73rd overall.

The title was first confirmed in Dan Schneider´s fun facts about iBeat the Heat.

This episode aired on Nick, September 25, 2010 at the 7th 'World wide day of playing'.

Plot
After they show a prank video on iCarly, Carly admits that she never pranked anyone. Sam and Freddie urge her to do it, but Carly fails when she tries to prank Gibby.

Carly asks Spencer for help, but he is afraid because of a past experience: in the ninth grade, he was known as "the king of pranks", but he got carried away and couldn´t stop pranking people. Eventually, he stopped when one of his pranks hurt people (he made garlic powder rain down on his classmates and they had to get their eyes flushed). Carly talks him into helping her pull a prank on Sam and Freddie, but after they succeed, Spencer becomes addicted to pranking again. Carly, Sam and Freddie try to talk sense into him, but it doesn´t work. An attempt to prank him back results only in Gibby breaking his arm.

Carly then has the idea to call Spencer´s former classmates that were hurt by his garlic powder prank, and they actually come to remind him of what happened to them. When Carly goes to get her video camera to record the talk, Spencer´s old classmates beat him up instead and Spencer stops pranking.

Trivia

 * One of Carly's outfits show the first jacket she wore on iPilot, although it might only be the same color and style; not the actual one from three years ago.
 * Miranda Cosgrove tweeted that 'iGet Pranky' is her favorite episode of season 4.
 * This episode is considered major proof of Spam, at least one-way: Sam admits to having a little crush on Spencer, but avoids repeating it when Carly questions the comment.
 * The scene of Carly watching TV makes a reference to Miranda Cosgrove's previous show Drake & Josh. The scene playing on the TV is the final scene from the episode "Megan's Revenge". Later, Spencer is seen watching the episode "The Storm" with Crazy Steve yelling, "COME ON DORA, YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE MAP!!!" Both characters are purposely watching characters played by the actor previously, and Carly even comments on how good Megan is at pranking.
 * Carly eating soup with a fork is a reference to the Drake & Josh episode "Mindy´s Back" when Josh´s rival (and eventually girlfriend) Mindy tricked him into saying he eats soup with a fork.
 * This is the first time one of Spencer's past experiences in school is shown in a flashback.
 * Sam shocks Freddie with a pen as she was about to shock him using her electric locker in "iCook", but strangely, Carly doesn´t interfere this time.
 * The outfit that Spencer is wearing in the final scene is the same one in iGot a Hot Room.
 * The opening scene of this episode features Sam and Carly holding pickles. In this scene Sam has Carly's middle pickle in her mouth, right when Sam is about to bite the middle pickle they cut to the theme song. But in the theme song, Sam bites the pickle Carly was holding on Carly's left, but on the viewers' right.
 * This is also the first episode where Spencer is seen to be younger. However, the voice of young Spencer is still Jerry Trainor, as Spencer is narrating his own flashback.
 * In this episode, it is the first time Gibby's 'father' is mentioned. It seems like Gibby's mother and his father are divorced, because Gibby's mother dated Spencer in an episode of Season 3 (see: iFix A Popstar).
 * In Carly's bedroom scene at the beginning, you can see that she is looking at Dan Schneider's website "Danwarp.com" on her Pearpad.
 * This is the first time one of T-Bo's friends (Lucas) makes an appearance on-screen.
 * This is the first episode to seriously focus on Spencer's past.
 * The prank Carly did is a refrence to ikiss when Sam put a fish in Freddie's locker.

The episode had 5.201 million viewers, down from the 5.91 million for the previous episode, iSam's Mom; but #3 overall on cable for the week.
