IApril Fools

iApril Fools is the 1st episode of Season 5 of iCarly and the 95th overall. It premiered to 3.408 million viewers.

Plot
In this special April Fool's Day episode, Carly and Spencer are being evicted. They throw a party and the gang reminisces about their time in Bushwell Plaza. They have help from their genie friend T-Bo in case they need a little magic. However, their memories are changed and warped to become silly and nearly nothing like the actual occurrences. In the end, Carly and her friends convince Mr. Bushwell to let them stay, but then Spencer comes to take them 'back to the future' (he says to a future iCarly episode), to which T-Bo brings them there in the magic bubble.

 * During the recreation of the iPilot episode, the handle of Carly's bag is brown. But, in the original scene, she has a pink handle and pink bag.
 * Freddie wears a slightly different shirt in this same iPilot scene than he did in the original. The shirt in the original has like a black mark and the stripes are doubled, not one stripe only.

 * Although this episode itself is an April Fool's Day joke, it should be mentioned that Spencer mentions Freddie has kids with either Sam or Carly.
 * The iCarly cast watch an episode of Head of the Class. Dan Schneider reprises his role as Dennis Blunden in a voice-over cameo.
 * Matt Bennett makes a guest appearance as Gibby in a scene that takes place in the Victorious set. Victorious returned the favor by having Jerry Trainor make a guest appearance in the Victorious episode "April Fools Blank." which aired on this same night.
 * During the scene that recreates the "Ultimate Assassin" game from "iSaved Your Life", actual footage of Sam hanging down from the door from that episode was shown, instead of refilmed footage.

 * Though played by Matt Bennett in the scene, this is the second time Gibby is seen alongside Rex from Victorious, the first time was in iBloop 2 - Electric Bloopaloo.
 * Running gag: Gibby hitting people with (or being hit with) a stop sign and going "April Fools!". T-Bo and Minko do the same thing as well but Gibby does it to Minko and Spencer, Minko does it to Gibby while T-Bo does it to Spencer.
 * "Genie" T-Bo" was a spoof of the genie in I Dream of Jeannie, evident by the genie's lamp and the same mannerism to conjure up something, which is folding his arms, nodding, and blinking to make something Cool_genie!.jpgr. The blinking sound effect is also the same.

 * The end credits shows a blooper from Jennette while rapping in iParty with Victorious.
 * The episode makes a reference to a short film by Tim Burton called "Frankenweenie" made before he had made any full-length movie. When the dog Sparky has his head hanging on the wall it is a reference to in Frankenweenie when Sparky the dog gets hit by a car and is brought back to life.

Goofs

 * Spencer says "We have to be out of here by 10 o'clock tonight", then Carly says "Pacific Standard Time" - but on April 1st. Seattle is on Pacific Daylight Time.
 * In the scene where Spencer has really long hair, after Sam hits him with the paintball he falls over backwards and his long hair is clearly seen to be underneath his body, but after the next cut it is somehow fanned out around his head.
