Well,in the beggining of the show, much of the comedy element revolved around Freddie,making people laugh. Getting tortured by Sam, the "I want to be just friends" reply from Carly,which hurt him, having a VERY overprotective mom who often embarrassed him, his great interest in technology was mocked and such. Almost nothing was good for him. I don't know about you guys, but I felt really sorry for him rather than laughing with all the things he's been through.

Also, Freddie is the one who made Carly and Sam befriend each other again, many times, when it was evident that their friendship wasn't so strong to endure certain things.

But the show also has given many proofs that Freddie is in fact,appreciated (iWill Date Freddie, iChristmas, iMight Switch Schools etc).

I don't think that Gibby is the least appreciated either. He was made a regular character because he was very popular amongst fans.

What about Mrs.Benson? Ok,it's a sitcom,mainly comedy,got it. But we almost never see any tender moments between Freddie and his mother. And the bond between mother and son is well-known. Marissa loves her son very much, that's why most of the time, does all those things.
