Sparly

Sparly is the term used to describe the duo of the Shay siblings, Spencer and Carly (Sp/encer and C/arly). Many plot lines on iCarly consist of Spencer helping Carly and her friends or Carly helping out Spencer. Sometimes, Carly serves as a "mom figure" to Spencer because Spencer sometimes acts more like a younger child than Carly does, even though she's the younger one, but sometimes he does exhibit fatherly control over her. Both Carly and Spencer tend to make incredibly lame puns. Spencer's seem to be worse, but Carly's are more frequent.

This article is  strictly  to discuss the brother/sister relationship of Spencer and Carly, and it is not a romantic pairing of them.

It is known that when Carly doesn't get what she wants on account of Spencer not allowing it, she'll get angry or upset. Reasons for this is that Carly is used to Spencer letting her do whatever she wants. But both of them love and care for each other.
