Spencer's motorcycle gets stolen by a new boy in the building named Griffin. Carly strongly dislikes him, but Spencer "takes Griffin under his wing" (in sculpting), much to her dismay. In a short span of time, however, she grows to like him and kisses him. After Spencer walks in on them kissing, he grounds Carly "for till college." Carly deceives Spencer and tries to see Griffin at any time possible. Eventually, he gives his blessing for them to see each other.

Griffin with his Peewee Babies.
Griffin invites Carly to his house, and she is shocked to learn that he collects and obsesses over Pee Wee Babies. She tries to break him of his habit but is unsuccessful in doing so. When she attempts to accept his weird hobby, she ends up laughing about it with Sam. Griffin overhears and asks if she wants to break up but she is unable to respond (she's distracted by imagining PeeWee Babies revolving around his head and talking to her), so he just leaves. When Sam suggests she chase after him, Carly just accepts the end of their relationship.
Subplot I
![IDate a Bad Boy -3](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/icarly/images/d/d8/IDate_a_Bad_Boy_-3.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20110605002707)
Sam asks Freddie to make a website for her in order to put up all the disgusting videos she collected, which he does. But when Sam becomes too demanding, constantly asking to make many changes to the site, he rips up the contract they made. Sam then sells the website to a guy named Sam Puckett and makes $1,000, leaving Freddie with nothing but a dollar that Sam gives him to buy himself a bagel. (Had Freddie kept the contract, he would have gotten half of the profit.)
Subplot II

Sam has a recurring nightmare where a monster eats her soup, so Spencer tries to help her get over her fear. When Spencer dresses up as a monster to find out Sam's reaction, she beats him (as shown in one of the opening credits of season 3) and Spencer ends up having the nightmare instead of Sam.

Carly and Griffin
Trivia
- The "Bad Boy" theme was also used in the Big Time Rush episode "Big Time Bad Boy".
- Griffin's mom can be heard speaking in the background, but she isn't seen onscreen.
- This episode has two different subplots excluding Carly, but both including Sam.
- Sam's nightmare is a reference to iCarly writer/Disney animator Eric Goldberg, who has the same recurring dream.
- The airing for this episode on October 10, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) had a rating of TV-Y7 when usually TV-G.
- When Freddie was saying "YES!!!!", his shirt was blue. But in one of the parts of the opening credits of season three, while he was saying the same thing, his shirt was yellow.
- The plot device with the Pee Wee Babies is very close to an old plot in one of Dan Schneider's previous series, What I Like About You in 2003, with Amanda Bynes ("Holly") and Jennie Garth ("Val"). Holly set up Val with a man who secretly had furry plush toys in his bedroom after he had a close encounter with a date who then gave him one as a memento of their encounter.
- Despite playing a teenage character, Drew Roy was 23 when the episode came out and is 7 years older than Miranda Cosgrove.
- Miranda Cosgrove kissed actor Drew Roy "a billion" times.
- Drew Roy also played a character that has a bad boy persona in Hannah Montana.
- The imaginary Pee Wee Babies circling Griffin's head are voiced by Dan Schneider.
- The voices of the Pee Wee Babies are panned left to right and back again in the stereo field according to where they are above Griffin's head.
- On MBC 3 and Nickelodeon Turkey, Carly and Griffin's kissing scenes were cut out.[citation needed]
- The song on the bookshelf stereo that Spencer plays as he turns it on was "Stop Thinking About," by Jennifer McNutt.
- Neck Infection, the video that Sam plays, is a real video on YouTube, but the iCarly version sounds more disgusting and sounds different then the actual one.
- This is the first episode that starts with "iDate", the second episode being iDate Sam & Freddie.
- This is the only special which doesn't have a recap at the start of part 2 in the two-part version. This was because of the fact that this was filmed as two separate episodes then edited into a TV movie.[citation needed]
![PeeWee](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/icarly/images/b/b9/PeeWee.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/200?cb=20100318020152)
Carly with Peter the Penguin. One of Griffin's many Pee-Wee Babies.
Allusions
- Pee Wee Babies are a parody of Beanie Babies.
Character Revelations
- Sam has been tased before.
- Sam nicknames Carly "Carlotta"; there is no indication that this is actually her full name.
Goofs
- When Spencer is at the Groovy Smoothie counter, a young man and woman walk up and stand behind him, then they do it again.
- When Spencer threw the bagel at Griffin, he said ow while the bagel could still be seen on camera. Additionally the sound of the bagel hitting and then dropping occurred after he said ow.
- There couldn't have been a guy wanting to buy Sam's website because she hadn't even had the website for over a year, unless Sam made the website a long time ago and just wanted Freddie to edit it for her.
- Another possibility is that Sam had already bought the domain; she just had not added anything to it until then, and before she had, the guy named Sam Puckett may have just tried to convince her to sell him the domain, and he would then edit it.
Running Gags
- Sam talking about someone her mom is dating/has dated.
- T-Bo exaggeratedly trying to sell bagels.
- Spencer talking about his Sham-Pow! (a rather obvious spoof of Sham-Wow!).
Series Continuity
- The events of iPromote Techfoots are mentioned; Griffin steals the motorbike Carly bought for Spencer in that episode.
- This is the second time Spencer grounds Carly. The first time was "iLook Alike".
- This is the first time Carly dates someone (after her attempt to get Jake Krandle's attention in iLike Jake failed).
- This is the first time Carly falls for a bad boy; as mentioned by Freddie, Sam and even Carly herself, this is not her usual type.
- Griffin returns in iBeat the Heat along with his PeeWee Babies (most prominently, Peter the Penguin).
