IHeart Art

iHeart Art is the fourteenth episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
As a surprise for Spencer, the iCarly gang invites Harry Joyner, (Oliver Muirhead), Spencer's art idol, to the apartment, but the plan backfires after Harry criticizes Spencer's sculptures instead of praising them. This causes Spencer to become deeply depressed. To make it up to him, Carly decides to showcase all of Spencer's sculptures on iCarly, but despite the sculptures on the webcast getting many positive comments, Spencer decides to give up on art to become a dental assistant. Carly and her friends try to help him to get back to his old self by convincing Harry Joyner to admit he actually likes Spencer's sculptures. Harry Joyner eventually admits that Spencer's sculptures are good, and he lied because he was jealous that Spencer's sculptures are better than his own recent works.

Meanwhile, Sam tries to resist the temptation to insult Freddie for a whole week, or she will have to pay him $5.00 for each insult after Freddie bets her she can't do it. When a dentist pays Spencer to make a sculpture, he splits the money with Carly, Sam, and Freddie, and Sam uses her $40 to insult Freddie.

Trivia

 * Mrs. Benson carries a bag called, Chips A'Soy, a parody of the popular cookie brand, Chips Ahoy. It seems a bit out of character, since it is unlikely she would eat this kind of fatty snack, or allow it around the house for Freddie, since she is known to be very health-concious.
 * Two family members of Sam are revealed: Greg Pattillo as Sam's cousin, and an unnamed cousin who is in jail.
 * Harry Joyner could possibly be a play on the name Jerry Trainor.
 * Greg Patillo is a real person who beatboxes while playing the flute on YouTube. He portrays himself in the episode.
 * This is the first time the Video Squirrel has appeared since iPilot.
 * Carly and Sam were driven by Pam. But, in iMust Have Locker 239, Freddie worried after Sam said that her mom is driving her because of the fact that she got an eye surgery. In this episode, Pam is not a bad driver.
 * This is the first time that someone criticizes Spencer's artwork, the second being the art critic in iEnrage Gibby.
 * One of the art students is played by Yvette Nicole Brown, who Schneider fans will recognize as Helen Dubois (the movie theater manager at The Premiere) from Drake & Josh, while others will recognize her as Shirley Bennett on Community.
 * At the human sculpture, the two-wheeled vehicle Harry is driving is called a Segway.

Sam: I'm not gonna insult ya, Freddie. You're not getting five bucks outta me.

Freddie: [sighs] When I grow up, I wonder what kinda girl would wanna marry me.
