User blog comment:Churchpants/Seddie And Creddie: Both Cliche??/@comment-3553219-20110721194441

Well, I love iCarly but I think they use cliches a lot not just in this sense. But it doesn't really matter. Of course, these relationships are cliche because they are interesting and they are things we encounter in everyday life. There is a reason something becomes overused and that doesn't make it bad. These are situations that really speak to us as human beings and get reactions from us.

I think the difference is just chemistry. I don't think Seddie is less cliche. I think Freddie and Sam have better romantic chemistry whereas Freddie and Carly don't seem like anything more than brother and sister (it doesn't help that I think they look a little bit alike). I think Freddie and Sam scenes are always entertaining and fun. Whereas, I can't really think of many solo Freddie and Carly scenes I didn't find dull (and the few exceptions they are always talking about Sam like iKiss, iOMG, iBelieve in Bigfoot). So its not less cliche just more exciting.
