Socko

Socko is the best friend of Spencer Shay. He owns a sock company and sells his creative socks to Spencer and other people. Although he has never been seen on screen, he has been mentioned in many episodes. He has a large family, and all of his family member's names are related to their jobs (Taylor makes clothes, Rob is a burglar, Otto is a car salesman, etc.). Spencer and Socko seem to be really good friends, considering they have their own jingle for birthday's as demonstrated in "iFight Shelby Marx," and Spencer made him a huge cake shaped like a sock, too, in "IStakeout". He was first mentioned in iWill Date Freddie. He also called in Spencer to look on TV for Channel 7 to look for the Plain White Ts' breaking news where Spencer became a hero. He never visited Carly's apartment room on screen. He gave Spencer the game of "What Am I?" according to iWas a Pageant Girl. In the episode iStakeout because Socko was a sock maker, Spencer made his cake of a sock that could light up. Sadly, a policeman's son ate the cake behind Spencer's back. (see: Spocko) Spencer also borrowed Socko's RV to go into a national forest to look for Bigfoot, although Spencer might have to make a huge apology towards Socko because Socko's RV got stolen by Bigfoot. Socko is part of the grand tradition of invisible (not shown) TV characters.
