Spencer Shay

Spencer Shay (born November 11, 1981) is the brother of Carly and the son of Mr. Shay and Mrs. Shay. Since their father is in the military, he is also Carly´s legal guardian. He is portrayed by Jerry Trainor.

Characteristics
Spencer is shown to have an eccentric and weird demeanor, but despite that, he is not fooled easily, as seen in iLook Alike and iDate a Bad Boy. According to his old girl friend Veronica, he´s a "creative fun spirit." He is frequently seen building strange sculptures in the show and most of his works are seen in the apartment.Spencer also frequently finds himself in sticky situations that serve as a subplot for the episode. Some of these subplots include his nemesis, the notorious Chuck Chambers. Although he, may have quit Law School after just 3 days, but he still possesses some legal knowledge as shown in iPromote Techfoots and iOwe You; he even kept a book he got from Law School.Spencer is quite a ladies' man, having dated over 12 women. Some of his relationships are far more eccentric than he is, like Connie, the juggler, Lauren Ackerman, a teacher with a lot of emotional problems and Stephanie, a girl who believes in unicorns. Another recurring gag is that many objects Spencer touches or fixes spontaneously burst into flames, the first being the Chicken Stirfry he made in iWanna Stay With Spencer, with added humor due to the fact that the part of the item that does so is always made of a material that is non-flammable in real life, such as a hotel bell or the cymbal on a drum.

Spencer attended Ridgeway Middle School, and also attended Seattle Law School for 3 days, but quit to become an artist. In the episode iPromote Techfoots, he was Carly, Sam, and Freddie's lawyer against the company Daka. His father, in the military, still thinks that he is in law school.

Art Projects
As an artist, Spencer is usually making an odd art project for some equally weird reason. A recurring gag is that some of his projects will burst into flame randomly. Added humor comes from the fact that the item subjected to this gag is always either 1) made entirely of material that is non-flammable at room temperature in real life, or 2) made of both flammable & non-flammable materials, but it's the parts made of the latter that invariably catch on fire.

He also built a chain reaction "Fish Feeder" in the kitchen.
