"Perfect age..."
Carly upon finding a possible friend for Spencer.

iFind Spencer Friends is the 10th episode of Season 5 and the 104th episode overall.[3]

Plot

While thinking of people to invite for Spencer's birthday, Carly and Freddie realize he barely has friends his own age. His birthday party would only include them and Sam because Socko is in Africa with his brother-in-law Hunter, T-Bo is mad at him for making fun of how he says "tissue", and Spencer got kicked out of his old book club because he set a bunch of books on fire. Even Ryan, who Spencer is playing tennis with, turns out to be a third grader. Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Gibby find 3 guys hang out with Spencer. When they all go to eat at Fiddy's Diner though, Spencer quickly finds out he has nothing in common with them. Spencer appears not so interested in their conversation judging by his facial expressions. Sam and Freddie make fun of their waiter, but he only hears Freddie making fun of him. As revenge, he blows his nose in Freddie's chili fries, but when he gets distracted with something else, another server delivers the chili fries to Spencer's table. Spencer leaves to sit with Carly, Sam and Freddie after the other guys don't share the fries with him. Luckily for him, the other guys all get sick after eating the snotty chili fries while he is fine. As Carly is consoling Spencer as his new friends didn't work, Heather, an obsessive iCarly fan, sees them at the restaurant and eagerly takes selfies with all of them, even running into the men's room to meet Gibby and take a meatball. heather comes back out to the diner excessively bragging and jumps on iCarly's table before being taken away by 2 servers. Immediately after, the 3 guys start feeling queasy after eating the snotty chili fries, and run into the men's room to throw up. Later, Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Gibby celebrate Spencer's birthday at the apartment with a giant Spaghetti taco and a game of Jamaican Laser Tag.

Subplot

In the mens' room at Fiddy's, Gibby helps out another guy when there are no soap and paper towels, and the guy pays him for thinking he was the men's room attendant. Gibby then takes it upon himself to actually be the men's room attendant. He sets up shop in the restroom while the others watch Spencer trying to bond with the guys they picked for him to hang out with. When the guys get sick from eating the chili fries, Gibby sings the song he sang in iCan't Take It when Sam and Freddie reconcile.

Trivia

  • Emma Stone mentioned this is the third-to-last episode on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and she plays a girl named Heather.[6]
  • This is the fourth time where a male has worn a dress or blouse on Dan's shows; the first was in Drake & Josh episode "Pilot", the second time was in Zoey 101 episode "Chase's Girlfriend", and the third was in the Drake & Josh episode "The Storm".
  • Based on the promo, many fans believed heather would be Spencer's new friend because she acted like him.
  • If Gibby and Baggles' marriage were legally valid, that would make Carly and Sam Bagles' co-mothers-in-law.
    IFSFSibby

    Featuring Gibby as the bride.

  • The men's restroom is the same set used for the Hollywood Arts girl's restroom in Victorious.
  • This episode and every other one up to iBust a Thief uses the theme song that was first used in iShock America. Although iGet Banned was between iShock America and this episode, it used the original Season 5 theme song that was first used in iGo One Direction.
  • Gibby and Baggles' wedding has a mixture of religious traditions.
    • The term "father" is used for a Catholic priest.
    • Father Steinberg wears a Christian clerical collar.
    • Father Steinberg holds a copy of a Jewish book, the New Jewish Publication Society of America Tanakh.
    • He places what is supposed to be a glass wrapped in cloth down on the ground for Gibby to step on.
    • Gibby (playing the bride) breaks the glass, a typical custom for grooms in the Jewish culture/religion at weddings.
  • Gibby pronounces the word "tennis" as "teenis", which sounds very similar to a male body part. In 2021, Montreal mayor Valérie Plante actually confused the word "tennis" for the male body part when giving a speech where she praised local tennis player Leylah Annie Fernandez.[7]
  • Todd Bosley, who played the waiter Sam and Freddie insulted, also played Teague on Game Shakers. Coincidentally, Teague was a waiter at Fooders, the restaurant the main characters frequently visited.

Allusions

  • At the end of Gibby's and Baggles' wedding on iCarly, Carly said "Ya'll come back now, ya hear?", referencing the end line of every episode of the 1960s sitcom, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Character Revelations

To be added

Goofs

  • According to Father Steinberg, Gibby's middle name is Hayes. However, in iWin a Date, Gibby told everyone his middle name was Cornelius.
    • Both middle names have been added to his fandom page.
  • During Gibby and Baggles' wedding, Baggles squirts yogurt twice on the floor, but the floor it is completely clean when it appears on camera.
  • What Gibby did in the men's restroom was illegal, seeing as he was never actually hired.
  • When Heather is coming, the camera shifts back to when they were comforting Spencer. Carly says "it's okay", but her mouth was not moving.
  • Heather has her phone out when she notices iCarly and takes pictures with them, but after she leaves the men's room, her phone is gone.
  • Bart would be fired for doing something to a customer's food.
    • Technically, the manager should have inspected the food before letting it be sent out.
  • When Bart is in the background holding the tray of chili fries, Kacey is standing in front of him, but in the following shot, she walks up to him as she asks him where he was a minute ago.
  • The 3 guys could sue Fiddy's Diner for serving them ruined chili fries.

Running Gags

  • Spencer makes bad sports equipment (a floppy tennis racket and a bowling ball that isn't round).

Series Continuity

  • Gibby appears to sing the end song from iCan't Take It while pretending to be a men's room attendant at Fiddy's Diner, but in this episode he is clearly lip-syncing.
