Bad!

Okay, and now to prove iCarly can be educational.
- Let's bring out 4 kindergarteners who live here
in Carly's building.

- CARLY: Yeah. - SPENCER: Woo, hi.
- Hello, children.
It's time to learn about our nation's monuments.

- Now, how about a hand for those little kids
we just emotionally scarred.
- Whoo! - Yeah.
- So proud of myself.
Okay, that's about it for this iCarly.
- Except... - Oh, yeah.
- Do you guys remember Wade Collins? - That obnoxious hob-knocker from America Sings?
- One might call him hob-noxious.
- Oh, Carly.
- Anyway, you guys remember that music video
Freddie directed for him?
- Tell our fans the big news, Fredenstein.
- According to PearTunes, the Wade Collins
music video we made is the number three
most downloaded video of the year.
- And that deserves one of these.
- [applause]
- We still hate that guy. - He be hobbin' and knockin'.
- But we're very proud of Freddie for directing
and editing the video.
- Carly and Sam helped a lot.
There's no way I coulda gotten it all done.
- [screaming]
- Stop, please.
Hey, quit it! That's not patriotic!
Carly, Sam! I'm the Statue of Gibberty!
Where's the respect?
Aah, aah, stop.

- Whatcha watchin'? - Our Wade Collins music video.
- Man, I can't believe that thing's still in the top 20.
- We did a good a job with that fudge bag.
- Hey, what's the most downloaded video of all time?
- Um, let's see.
Oh, yeah, Ginger Fox: Hate Me, Love Me.
- Mm-hmm, I love that song. - Yeah, Ginger was good.
- Yeah, 'til her career went in the toilet.
Remember that insane video of her last year?
- Yeah, wait. Hang on. Um, oh, here it is.
- MAN in VIDEO: Ginger, what are you doing?
- Washing my hair.
- MAN in VIDEO: That's not even shampoo,
that's blue cheese dressing.
- Oh.
- Get out of my bathroom! - That chick's a disaster.
- Carly. Where's Carly? - Groovy Smoothie.
- Ooh, text her and tell her to bring me a corn dog.
- They don't sell corn dogs.
- I know, she'll be so confused.
Anyway, so get this, I was just at Hey Food
buying groceries, and as I'm coming out,
I meet this woman, this like totally super hot woman
wearing a sweater.
So I start flirtin' her up, right?
- Sure.
- Then I say: "Yo, let's go grab a donut".
and she goes: "M'kay", so I took her
to that religious donut shop around the corner.
- Holy-O's? - No, Amazing Glaze.
Anyway, it turns out she's really fun and cool
and single and female and she's coming here
to have dinner with me tomorrow night.
Oh! - Nice.
- Tchyaaa.
- So where are the groceries?
- You left them at the donut shop.
- No. - Where ya goin'?
- To the donut shop.
- Roll over, roll over.
Roll over!
- Ginger, you need to go out there and rehearse.
You haven't had a hit song in three years.
- So? Neither have you.
- You know, there are plates and spoons right there.
- I don't need to rehearse.
- Do you know how many people watch the Pop Music Awards?
- Rabbit, sit.
- 15 million people.
You've got to be amazing to make a comeback really happen.
- Uh, but I think I'm the biggest pop star
like ever.
- Were, you were. - Aaah!
- And you can be again, if you'll please,
just get out there and do what the director tells you.
- I fired the director. - Just go-- you what?
- He kept telling me what to do.
- 'Cause he's the director. - Not anymore.
- Look at that.
- LESLIE: What, the Wade Collins video? What about it?
- Get me the dude who directed that.
- Look, we can't just change directors
in the middle of--
- Get me the director who did that video!
- Okay, okay.
- You stay!
- Special seasoning.
- Oh, all right, just tell me,
what is wrong with you?
- What do you mean?
- You're handsome, you're funny, you're smart,
and you can cook.
- Don't forget about my very special socks.
- Wheew. - Wow.
- You don't see that on most men, do you?
- Can't say I do.
Oh. Hmm, you're doing it again.
- What? - Staring at me.
- I'm sorry, I didn't-- it's just something about you
looks very familiar to me.
You're sure we've never met before?
- Not before yesterday, no.
- Huh, it's so weird 'cause when I look in your face,
it's like I can see-- - [doorbell]
- Excuse me, one sec.
I'm comin'.
Oh, hey, guys.
- 'Sup? - Carly here?
- SPENCER: Nah, she and Sam went to Build-A-Bra.
- They're always kickin' me out of that place.
- Yeah. Can Gibby and I run upstairs
real quick and install this?
- Sure, but make it fast. I got a hot one in the kitchen.
- Ooo. - No worries.
- Gibby? - Mom?
- Oh, my God.
- Hey, there.
I'm home from school.
Wee-oop, wee-oop, wee-oop, wee-oop, wee-oop.
- Oh, hey.
- Whatcha doin'? - Watching TV.
- Well, then, maybe you oughta turn it on.
- You're mocking my pain? - What's the matter?
- What's-- I have a crush on Gibby's mom.
- Okay, I still don't get why that's such a big problem.
- 'Cause when I look at her now,
all I see is Gibby's face, Gibby's eyes, Gibby's nose,
Gibby's lips. Oh, I can't kiss Gibby lips.
- Okay, why don't you just-- - [doorbell rings]

Hi. - Hi, I'm Leslie Grant.
You're Carly Shay? - Yeah. Um...?

into Has-Been Island.

See, they're surrounded by water, so there's no--

you know, mental help, and now she's ready

I had some trouble getting Ginger
out of her dressing room.
- Is that blood on your face?
- Yeah, Ginger stabbed me with a fork.
Here we go.
Ginger, this is-- where did Ginger go?
- Um, she's over there, using the bathroom.
- There's a bathroom back there?
- No.

- How could Ginger Fox
have seemed so awesome seven years ago?
- She was young then. Now, she's all 26 and old.
- And even back then, it wasn't real.
Just editing, audio voice filters.
- Well, in two days, she has to appear live,
and the whole world knows we're responsible
for her performance.
- She can lip-sync the song.
- And how does that help the fact that she dances
like a diseased elephant?
Argh, I'm so mean.
Do you see what pressure does to me?
It brings out my mean. - All right, let's think.
We have a talentless woman who can't sing, can't dance,
and looks terrible. - Ooh, this thinkin's fun.
- Lip-syncing fixes the singing issue.
- And I guess, hair, makeup, costumes, lighting,
and no close-ups can make her look less disgusting.
