Yeah, I totally agree that the jokes are definitely not suitable for the younger kids. All the really dark and sketchy scenes such as the whole Freddie-contemplating-killing-Sam bit, Carly mentioning suffocating Spencer in his sleep, the whole Sam and the kids in the sweat shop... Those are all pretty touchy subjects that even I found especially dark and risque. But I didn't find the whole electrocuting bit that scary. I mean, I've done that to people when I was in high school and first discovered shock pens. They're essentially harmless and the show really made the pen out to be more harmful than it is in reality.

When I watch an episode of iCarly, I consider anything and everything that doesn't have to do with a major plotline or turning point in the story to be pretty much filler, character development-wise. I mean, let's face it: The characters pretty much disregard anything that happened in previous episodes unless they otherwise remember back and mention it (an example being in iThink They Kissed both iKiss and iTwins were mentioned)... The reason why is because of Dan wanting to avoid continuity errors. That's the difference between shipping for a comedy like iCarly and any other drama or dramedy series where the producers actually have control over which episodes get aired in what order. (Not to mention in dramas/dramedys there is pretty much character development every episode)
