IRue the Day

iRue the Day is the eleventh episode of the first season of iCarly. It marks the second appearance of Nevel Papperman. Also, the Plain White T's make a guest appearance singing their song, "Our Time Now."

Plot
When Spencer saves the life of the lead singer of the Plain White T's, their manager sets up a performance for iCarly. Unfortunately, their website is hacked by Nevel Papperman, who tries to ruin their website in revenge for Carly refusing to kiss him in the episode iNevel. The iCarly trio attempts to hack Nevel's website after he gains control of their website, but fails. Carly then calls in the military to stop Nevel, and he is forced to apologize to Carly on camera and then call himself a "weenie."

Trivia

 * Irue_the_day.jpg friend of Carly's dad, Colonel Morgan, forces Nevel to call himself a weenie.
 * Dan Schneider made a mistake with Carly's father's line of service - is he in the Navy or Air Force? (Colonel Shay *is* in the Air Force, and he was on a Navy submarine for undisclosed reasons.)
 * When Carly and Sam are on Nevelocity, you can see a picture of Carly and Sam with the word "BORING" written on it. This could mean that Nevel took down the honest review of their show that his mother made them write and put his mean review back up, or he probably wrote a new, mean one.
 * Colonel Morgan says that Nevel is in violation of the Internet Security Act of 1983; However, the internet wasn't readily available until 1992, (Let it be noted that development of the Internet began in '69, but it was far too primitive to be protected. However, it is likely because the fictional universe of iCarly should not be considered the same as reality).
 * When the military bursts into Nevel's house, a few things are wrong. One, they didn't show a search warrant, and could have gotten in trouble as Nevel was not part of a major crime. Two, they made him call himself a "weenie" and left him dangling from a bungie cord. On the internet. Thus Nevel could sue, and Carly's friend could be court-martialed. Lastly, the iCarly crew could also have gotten in a lot of trouble for trying to hack his site.
 * This is the first time a musical group appeared, when the Plain White Ts make a guest appearence and sing their song, Our Time Now.
