ISell Penny-Tees

iSell Penny-Tees is the fourth episode of Season Four, 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 T's gained the most money in the auctions, they decide to sell them online. However, Sam has her fourth-grade workers 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. Sam's workers also quit because she feeds them animal food that strengthen hooves. 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.

As a sub-plot, Spencer has an Uzbekistanian 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 also doesn't speak English, and hooks up with the girl.



Trivia

 * Sam blows her nose into a handful of wet noodles.
 * In this episode, Gibby's brother Guppy makes a cameo appearance, eating the spaghetti that Sam blew her nose in.
 * 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 (literally).
 * Freddie assumes Sam knocked down 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 got it and did it to Spanky Stembler in iStakeout).
 * This is the third time we see Sam slap Freddie across the face onscreen and the first he doesn't verbally or physically react to it.
 * This is the first episode where Sam abuses children (Not counting her peers: Gibby, Freddie, etc.).
 * 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 Sam is the same music 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.
 * 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).
 * 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. It is weird because Sam loves chicken, always mentioning it.
 * This is the second episode the gang starts a major 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.
 * 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 still better than working extremely hard labor on a farm for 15 hours a day.
 * It never revealed (on-screen) who originally made the Penny-T's in the first place. In the blog, it is said that Socko's sister Penny makes them.
 * If the 4th Graders really stole the idea, they probably didn't get very far because even their age doesn't prevent them from getting sued.
 * When the episode was announced, the plot was believed to be around Freddie wanting to sell Penny-T's for his tech habit. This is not what happened at all.
 * 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. It is also one of the least popular episodes among fans.
