"I created and now run one of the world's most visited web sites which gets over five million page views per day!" |
iNevel is the 6th episode of the first season of iCarly.
Plot
At school the trio is handing out fliers for their upcoming show to their school. After Tasha, a mean girl at school, says that no webshow is cool unless it has been reviewed on Nevelocity.com, Carly tries to prove that their webshow is good enough by trying to get Nevel to review their website. The show is a huge success with a flashy logo, Carly and Sam having faces on their toes, two fun videos and unexpected visit from a Chinese delivery man. When Nevel states that loves the show and invites her for an interview, Carly is very excited at first, but is shocked to learn he's an arrogant and disrespectful eleven-year-old boy with a large brain (which he shows Carly a picture of). After Nevel flirts with her and even kisses her on the cheek, Carly is so creeped out and enraged that she smears tapenade in his face, and he angrily promises she will "rue the day." After telling Sam and Freddie what happened they are in shock, Spencer looks up what Rue means, it is defined as regret.
Out of anger, Nevel does write a nasty review of iCarly, despite saying that he said that he liked the show before. Carly, Sam and Freddie try to force him to tell the truth with the help of Jeremy, or "Germy," (because Nevel hates germs) a kid in Ridgeway who sneezes all the time, but Nevel tricks Jeremy into releasing him by offering him twice as much as the iCarly gang pays him (without actually paying in the end).
Since their first attack failed, Carly, Sam and Freddie are surprised at the fact of not being able to defeat an eleven year old boy until they get a spark and decide to tell Nevel's mom on him, who scolds him and sends him to his room to write an kind review.
Subplot
Spencer has to make a sculpture out of butter (Called Toasty the Baker) for a bread convention, but has to restart after Sam accidentally turns up the heat and melts it (who later on attempts to blame Freddie for it). Spencer doesn't blame either of them and as he's rebuilding the sculpture, he quietly says that Toasty will be back and "butter" than ever, hoping that no one hears him.

- When Nevel asks Carly if she likes music, the music he puts on is the same music in iDream of Dance.
- This is the second time that Miranda Cosgrove and Reed Alexander have been on set together. Reed made brief appearances in Drake and Josh prior to this.
- There is a deleted scene where Carly, Sam and Freddie are about to start their webcast for iCarly and Carly says that they need to rock for the webcast. Sam says "When do I not rock? Look at me, I'm rockin' right now!" and launches into a little dance. For unknown reasons this scene was cut from the episode, though the dance is shown in the Season 1 opening credits. A blooper where Jennette McCurdy flubbed her line and failed to do the dance before correcting herself is shown in the episode iBloop.

Allusions
The butter brand is Butterly Love. This is a reference to the motto of Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love.
Character Revelations
- Marissa likes to watch people through her apartment peephole, just like Freddie does when Carly walks by.
Goofs
- The front door's handle in the later section of the episode, instead of the traditional handle, is a doorknob for some reason.
- After Spencer puts his brown paper bags filled with butter in the refrigerator he leaves the refrigerator door ajar, but in the next shot, as he runs off to turn the toilet water blue, the refrigerator door is closed.
- Nevel shows Carly an x-ray of his large brain, she says "That's one beefy brain you've got there", although the size of a brain does not relate to the amount of information contained in it.
- When showing the video of the crump dancer on iCarly, on Freddie's laptop the iCarly logo is seen in the bottom right-hand corner while on the studio monitor it is in the top right-hand corner.
- When Spencer picks up his keys to drive Carly to Nevel's house and walks to the front door of their apartment to leave, he clearly has no butter stuck to his elbow, yet when they arrive at Nevel's house a dab of butter has appeared on his elbow, apparently out of nowhere. As he leaves the room at Nevel's house, the butter disappears again.
- When Carly and Sam do the iCarly Random Dancing, Sam pulls Chuck and makes him dance. The Chinese food is now on the floor. However, after the shot where Freddie holds the camera, the food is gone.
- Freddy's mother said she saw Spencer carrying many containers of butter into his apartment, but the butter was in brown paper bags and she would not have known what was contained in them.
Running Gags
To be added
Series Continuity
- This is the first appearance of Nevel.
- Tapenade is first mentioned in this episode.
- Even though Nevel's mother makes him write an honest review of the web show, in iRue the Day, the mean review can be seen on Nevelocity again. Nevel says she is going on a cruise vacation during that episode leaving his confused grandmother in charge; this possibly means he can post the mean review again until his mother comes home, assuming she doesn't have a laptop with her on the cruise.
