ISell Penny-Tees

iSell Penny-Tees is the fourth episode of Season Four of iCarly, and 74th overall. It aired on October 2, 2010.

Plot
Carly and Sam are auctioning off several iCarly items for the Sam Puckett Legal Defense Fund (to prevent Sam from going to juvie). When they find out that Penny-Tees gained the most money in the auctions, they decide to sell them online. However, Sam hires fourth-graders to work in early 20th-century sweat shop environments, so Carly and Freddie take in half of the workers to work their way. However, the now no-longer hard-worked kids refuse to do their work and promptly quit since Carly pre-paid them for a month ($10 each day-- More than double than Sam paid them). Sam's workers also quit because she feeds them animal food that strengthen hooves (Chunk Meat). The gang decides to try to compromise with two representatives from the fourth-graders, but it turns out that they stole the Penny-Tee idea to make their own company.

Subplot
As a sub-plot, Spencer has an Uzbek girlfriend named Krustacia, who doesn't speak English, so he has Gibby contact a bus driver to translate what she's saying. It turns out the bus driver, Foogtor, who it is found also doesn't speak English, hits it off with Krustacia, and they leave together, much to Spencer's chagrin.



Trivia

 * Sam blows her nose into a handful of wet noodles during the show.
 * Carly can be seen holding the PearPad that she asked for in iGot a Hot Room.
 * Carly mentions her near-death experience from iWanna Stay With Spencer, when Spencer's fan of hammers nearly cut her head off.
 * Freddie assPearPad.jpg Sam knocked off (robbed) a Fat Cake truck. This is a reference to the episode, iMake Sam Girlier, where he stated she can knock out a truck driver with only a carton of milk.
 * This is the first time Sam spanks Freddie on-screen, and only the second time a spanking scene was shown (Spencer did the same to Spanky Stembler in iStakeout).
 * Sam calls Carly "prissy" ("Who told the prissy girl?")
 * This is the third time Sam is seen slapping Freddie across the face onscreen.
 * This is the first episode where Sam is seen abusing children other than her peers.
 * The man screaming when he sees Gibby in the bathroom of The Groovy Smoothie also happened in iSam's Mom.
 * The music playing when the children are working with Carly and Freddie is the same mPENNYT.JPG that played in Carly and Freddie's fantasy from iFind Lewbert's Lost Love.
 * Blue tea is seen and mentioned in this episode; it was first seen and mentioned in iMove Out. Carly and Freddie, unsure of what to do with the tea after their staff quits, drink it right out of their pitchers.
 * The closed captions spell Spencer's love interest's name Krustacia.
 * Spencer mentions the Beavecoon, an animal he strongly believes exists. He also mentioned it in iBelieve in Bigfoot throughout the episode (the creature was seen, unfortunately, after Spencer left).
 * Krustacia and Foogtor are speaking Russian, not Uzbek.
 * Besides the Techfoots and the Fan of Hammers, several other items from previous episodes are seen in the iCarly studio, among them the hand chair from iHave My Principals, the pie camera from iSpy a Mean Teacher, and the Sour Milk Wheel from iWon't Cancel The Show.
 * Sam rejected the chicken pot pie T-Bo offered to the gang. Ironically, Sam loves chicken.
 * This is the second episode the gang starts a small business, the first being their pet photography studio in iMove Out.
 * This is the first time Freddie has expressed signs of violence. (He picked up a knife, seemingly with the intention of cutting Sam, but then he controlled himself.)
 * Sam's form of labor she paid the kids to work on is similar to how, up until the early 1900's, young kids worked in horrible conditions, for little money and long hours, although stilISell-Penny-Tees-16.png better than working extremely hard labor on a farm for 15 hours a day.
 * It never revealed (on-screen) who originally made the Penny-Tees in the first place. In the blog, it is said that Socko's sister Penny makes them.
 * When the episode was announced, the plot was believed to be around Freddie wanting to sell Penny-Tees for his tech habit. This may or may not have not made it into the shooting script, or was purposely changed for comedic reasons.
 * This is the first episode to have a certain focus on little children.
 * In a scene cut from the broadcast but seen in the promo, after getting spanked by Sam, Freddie stumbles forward and groans "My bottom stings!"
 * Sam mentions her mother in a negative way, which foreshadowed the events of iSam's Mom.
 * When Sam was spanking Freddie, it was shot in a different angle than the one in the promo.
 * 3.966 million viewers, ranking it 9th for the week on cable, making the episode one of the fewest number of viewers watching it in the entire series.
 * This is the first episode that features the Mini PearPad. This means that Carly might have two PearPads.
 * St. Mary's is mentioned for the first time in this episode. It is where the 4th-graders that make the Penny-Tees come from.
 * The scene where Freddie picks up a knife was removed in the UK.
 * At the end the closed captions reveal two Penny-Tee suggestions not said by Arthur and Jake: "Thunder Munch" and "Swollen Hats."
 * This is the third time that Sam uses duct tape. The first time was when she used duct tape on the air horn to wake up Spencer in iWant a World Record. The second time was when she was taping Carly's mouth in iSpeed Date.

Goofs

 * The pie spy camera from iSpy a Mean Teacher never actually appeared on iCarly, but Carly and Sam said everything for sale appeared on the webshow.
