"So, we clearly have a problem with the iCarly boys."
— Miranda after showing Nathan's bloopers
iBloop is the 15th episode of Season 3 of iCarly and the 65th episode overall, this is the first clip show in the series. The episode features bloopers and clips from various episodes, some that would air after this episode. It aired on April 17, 2010.
Drake Bell makes a guest cameo in one of the bloopers mistaking Carly for Megan and several minor and recurring characters returned via archive footage.
This conference turns into a viewing of never-before-seen clips of bloopers and outtakes backstage. In the end, Miranda admits that everyone messes up sometimes, and it's not much of a big deal. Some of the bloopers are from episodes that had not been shown yet when iBloop aired, so those are previews to later episodes. This is because, in production order, this episode was the last episode of Season 3 (in production code Season 2, as Season 2 and 3 were split into 2 parts).
This episode won third place for Most Random Moment at the iCarly Wiki Awards!
plays his character, Drake Parker, because he calls Miranda/Carly "Megan" (which was her name on the show), and seeing Jennette/Sam, Nathan/Freddie, and Mary Scheer/Freddie's mom, he asks Miranda where Josh [Nichols] (played by Josh Peck, his real-life best friend), Mom (played by Nancy Sullivan), and Dad (Jonathan Goldstein) are, not recognizing the others (Sam, Freddie, Mrs. Benson). This blooper was made during iWill Date Freddie.
If you look closely, you can see TheSlap.com, the official website of Dan Schneider's then new show Victorious, multiple times in the bloopers, often replacing green screen shots from the actual episode.
In some parts you can hear Ginger Fox singing "Number One."
This is the episode with the most Penny-Tees. If you look really close you discover it shows a Penny-Tee 19 times and a new one at the end with the phrase: "Random Dancing."
A repeat of the episode that aired on July 30, 2010 following the premiere of iGot a Hot Room had 5.58 million viewers, over 125% of the premiere audience. [2]
Sam and Freddie (nor, by extension, Carly and Spencer) do not appear in this episode. While Jerry Trainor and Miranda Cosgrove appear as themselves, Nathan Kress and Jennette McCurdy are absent for the entire episode.
This episode continues the tradition of clip shows for Schneider series ("PCA Confidential" for Zoey 101, and "Dr. Phyllis Show" for Drake & Josh). A Victorious blooper special known as "Blooptorious" was also made later on.
When the DVD release of the Season 3 came out, this was placed as the last episode of the season, keeping in mind of the fact that it was meant to air after "iWon't Cancel The Show", "iBelieve in Bigfoot" and "iPsycho."
At the end, during Random Dancing, Lisa Lillien (a.k.a Hungry Girl and the wife of Dan Schneider) is seen dancing with the cast and crew.
This episode rarely airs on Nickelodeon.
