Socko

Socko is the best friend of Spencer Shay. He was first mentioned in the episode iWill Date Freddie. He owns a sock company and sells his creative socks to Spencer and other people.

He is part of the grand tradition of invisible (not shown) TV characters.

Although he has never been seen on screen, entirely, he has been mentioned in many episodes. He has a large family, and most of his family member's names are related to their jobs (Taylor is a tailor, Rob is a burglar, Otto is a car salesman, Bernie is a welder, Isaac is an optometrist, etc.). Spencer and Socko seem to be really good friends, considering they have their own jingle for birthdays as demonstrated in iFight Shelby Marx, and Spencer made him a huge cake shaped like a sock, too, in iStakeout. There are many more moments of friendship between Spencer and Socko. (see: Spocko)



While Socko is never shown, entirely, some of his relatives are; his uncle in law, who is a psychiatrist, appears in iSpace Out, where he gives Spencer help when Spencer believes he's gone crazy after seeing a mysterious little girl. His cousin, Rob (his cousin who's a robber, see above), appears in iGive Away, stealing back the couch.

In iReunite with Missy, Spencer was going to go camping with Socko and two girls they met a junkyard.



There are rumors that we will be seeing Socko in Season 4 of iCarly; however, nothing has been confirmed. Though this could be a reference to a scene in iParty with Victorious, when Socko lends Spencer a van. In the beginning of the scene, you can see Socko's right arm extend to hand Spencer the keys. Spencer quickly closes the doors afterwards, so that no more of Socko's body is seen. This is the one and only time Socko (though we did not see his face) has ever appeared onscreen.
