ILike Jake

iLike Jake is the 4th episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
The episode starts off with Sam and Carly gossiping about Jake Crandall being single for the first time since the third grade. With Sam's help, Carly gets a chance to talk to him, and she invites him over to her house after school.

When Jake visits Carly and mentions that he plays the guitar and sings, she tells him he can appear on the next iCarly webcast.

During a run-through before the show starts, they find out that Jake is a horrible singer, and Carly, Sam and Freddie need to figure out a solution. After trapping Jake in the elevator doesn't work, Carly suggests that Freddie can change his voice to a more clearer tone, and it works. Carly is so happy, she gives Freddie a kiss on the nose.

The next day, Jake says he saw the kiss, and Carly tries to tell him "It was strictly nasal!". He doesn't listen, and gets back together with his ex-girlfriend, who heard his singing--or so she thought-- on iCarly the night before.

Trivia

 * Austin Butler, who portrays Jake Krandle, has appearances on Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and the movie Aliens in the Attic. He starred on ABC Family's Ruby & the Rockits and Life Unexpected on The CW.Ilikejake.jpg
 * The music video for Jake's song "Whatever My Love" can be seen fully on iCarly.com without the auto-tune.


 * When Carly suggests that Freddie can change his voice to a clearer sound, it is a reference to auto-tune, which is very controversial in the music industry.
 * This is the first episode Freddie's apartment is seen; when Jake wants to see Carly, you can see part of the apartment as the door behind Freddie is left open.
 * Austin Butler's voice is never actually auto-tuned. Butler recorded a seperate audio track of him singing well without auto-tune.

Goofs

 * Note that if you compare the footage of Jake Krandle with auto-tune and without auto-tune, you can obviously see it's not the same footage.
