"Look! It's Carly, my best friend who loves me and sees the value in me as a person!"
— Sam about Carly.
The Cam Friendship was the friendship pairing of Carly Shay and Sam Puckett (C/arly and S/am). Carly and Sam had been best friends since they were eight years old, and it was a major component of the show. Many storylines focus on the development of their friendship. Their unbreakable bond is a force to be reckoned with. Many fans celebrate this friendship, while respectfully disagreeing with others that there was any romantic attraction between the two. Even though they are not the same, they are great/best friends. (See: Cam Relationship.)
Carly and Sam's friendship was one of a few canon pairings on the show. It was the main friendship on the original show, as they were as close as sisters, who look out for each other.
Remember, this page is only for the friendship aspect between Carly and Sam, not the romantic pairing. They were best friends until 2012. They are no longer friends as of the revival series as Carly has moved back to Seattle and Sam moved across the country. However, Sam has been referenced and mentioned throughout the show and Carly still has the remote Sam gave her before she moved to Italy, and Carly also has photos of Sam as shown in iMake New Memories, showing Sam's friendship still means a lot to her all these years later, even though Sam is no longer present in Carly's life.
"Look! It's Carly, my best friend who loves me and sees the value in me as a person!" - Sam
Carly and Sam met when they were only eight years old, after Sam tried to steal Carly's tuna sandwich during a lunch break. Carly refused to give it up when Sam was trying to take it. Carly retaliated, and this impressed Sam and she said, "You're alright". Due to her "vicious, but lovable" nature, she tells Carly that she's an "all right kid," and Carly allows her to sit with her at lunch.
Five years later, they are still friends to this day, and their friendship continues to grow stronger. Although they are very best friends, Carly thinks that Sam's a nightmare, obnoxious, irresponsible, etc.
Mustache Petting Is Always A Good Time.
Throughout the series, Carly has acted as a moral guardian for Sam, as Sam's mother appears to have poor parenting skills. Carly lends Sam her clothes, allows Sam to stay in her place and feeds Sam more than her mother does, as shown in the show. Carly loves Sam for who she is, but will put her foot down when Sam goes too far. Carly is the only person who can control Sam's aggressive behavior. As revealed in iChristmas, Sam would have wound up in a juvenile detention center (Juvie) if it weren't for Carly's moral guidance. Carly is the only character in iCarly who Sam has always acted civil towards.
Great Cam hug!
Although some may disagree, Carly also would be affected adversely as well if she never became friends with Sam. The episode iChristmas also shows that if Carly and Sam weren't friends, Carly would have a considerably more boring life (i.e.: she'd date Nevel Papperman, wouldn't be friends with Freddie, and iCarly wouldn't exist). This seems to ring true throughout the entire series of the show. In their friendship, Sam's always been the humorous, daring one, and her free-spirited nature seems to bring spontaneity and fun to Carly's otherwise normal life. In terms of this aspect, their relationship is balanced and not one-sided as some would think. Sam admitted to having a crush on Carly's brother Spencer, in IGet Pranky.
