Carly, get in here, right now.
Have a seat.
So, I understand you put some fliers up
all over the school?
Yes, I did.
Why would you Photodoc my head
onto the body of a rhinoceros?
Well, I... Rhinoceros? Oh, no, no, no.
She made you a hippopotamus.
No, no. She's a rhinoceros.
A hippo has fatter thighs and a wider snout.
What does it matter?
I think we should call her father in to discuss this.
Um, my dad's stationed in Europe right now.
He's in the military.
Well, there must be some adult in charge of her.
My older brother, Spencer.
Oh, yes, the artist.
He's a great artist.
Look, we don't need to call her brother in about this.
I'm sure that you can come up with a suitable punishment.
Fine.
You know, Carly, I am in charge
of the talent show this year.
Yeah, you're holding auditions on Saturday.
No, you are. Huh?!
I will be enjoying my Saturday
while you videotape the auditions for me.
No! I'm going to see Cuddlefish play live
at the Hawthorne on Saturday!
Not anymore. Aw, come on!
It's what you get for turning me into a hippopotamus.
Rhinoceros.
Get out! Right.

And what are you sorry for? For saying you're aggressive!
And what am I, again? Pretty and sweet!
Thank you! Now the next time... Ow! Hair, hair, hair.
Hi! Did you get in trouble?
Of course I got in trouble!
Teachers tend to get upset when you put their heads
on the bodies of big, fat animals!
I can't believe I let you talk me
into taking the blame for you!
You had to. I've already been suspended once this semester.
If I'd gotten busted, they'd have expelled me.
Well, here's an idea. What?
Stop doing bad things!
Okay. Chillax.
I will not chillax!
And get excited, 'cause you and I get to spend

No!
Freddie. Yes.
I thought we talked about this.
We can be buds, but you gotta get over this crush thing.
I am over it. Seriously.
I'm in love with you. You just wanna be friends.
And I'm totally cool living with that constant pain.
Oh, god.
I'm home.
Hey, kiddo! Up here.

Smile! Yeah.
You know, for most eighth grade girls,
if they came home and found their 26-year-old brother
dangling upside down from the ceiling
over a giant robot made out of soda bottles,
it'd be weird.
You're saying I'm abnormal.
Do I need to say it?
Come down from there before you hurt yourself.
No worries.
I got my leg wrapped around this pipe... Ah!
Please help me stand up.
Are you all right? Yea... Nope.
I dislocated my shoulder again.
One sec.
Yeah, that fixed her.
Good. So listen, I need a favor.
Shoot. I have to tape
a bunch of auditions at school on Saturday.
Fun. Yeah, not really.
Anyway, would you let me borrow your video camera?
I would. Awesome.

Mounted on a carbon fiber tripod with a low-drag fluid head.
I also brought you juice and a bagel.
Hey, you invited the doof. Sam.
Aw, man! I didn't know that was gonna be here.
She. I'm a she, Freddie, as in "girl."

What you doing?
Checking to make sure Freddie put the auditions online.
I told Miss Briggs we'd upload 'em
on SplashFace tonight so she could watch 'em in the morning.
I kind of hate Miss Briggs.
Remember when she called me a demon?
No! Oh, Yeah.
When I put that raw chicken in her purse...
Shut up and come look at this!
What? Freddie didn't upload the auditions?
No! He uploaded us!
What? Look!
It's like she stuffs waffle cones in her bra.
That's you and me! Sure is!
He wasn't supposed to film us!
We were being all goofy
and acting like idiots all day!
Oh, my God.
We made fun of Miss Briggs and her crazy pointy boobs!
Whoa, if she sees that...
Anyone can see it! It's on SplashFace!

Why'd you film us at the auditions today?
Oh. 'Cause you guys were being funny.
Well, you shouldn't have put us online
without our permission!
I didn't! I edited you guys out
before I uploaded the auditions.
No, you did the opposite of that!
What? There's no way I...
Uh-oh.
Yeah. Just take us off the site!
Okay, okay! Just give me a sec.
Oh, this is so not good.
Anyone, anyone in the world can just click and see
everything we did and said today.
It's so embarrassing. And if Miss Briggs...
Don't even talk about it. If she...
Ha! Got it.
See? It says, "At your request,
this video will be removed."
Good! Finally.
Tomorrow morning.
Ugh, great. Aw, man!
Do you know how many more thousands
can view it by then? Alright!

about the video.
Um, okay, here's one.

Funny stuff."
Great, so one kid... Wait.

"Carly and Sam, you chicks are hilarious.
When's your next show?"

here on SplashFace."
Wow. They love us.
Yeah! More than puke.

Where's Miss Briggs? What if she saw it?
Video was off by yesterday morning.
What if she saw it before it was off?
It was Sunday. She was probably in church.
What church would let Miss Briggs in the door?
Hello, Carly. Samantha.
Howdy. Morning, Miss Briggs.
Um, we had some trouble putting the video online,
so here's a DVD of every kid who auditioned on Saturday.
Thank you. Sure.
I'll try not to poke a hole in this with my pointy bosoms.
She saw the video. We're so sorry.
Miss Briggs? What?
I typed up a list of the kids
we think should be in the talent show.
Snorting milk? Pogo stick hopping?
These aren't talents.
They were the most fun to watch.
Goodbye.

we picked be in the show? That's right. Girls.
No one enjoys that!

She is what's wrong with the world.
Who's what's wrong with the world?
Miss Briggs. Oh.
Well, hey, at least she got that brown lump
taken off of her nose.
I just hate it when adults like her
get to control what kids can do and see.
It ticks me off.
Why do they put a bone right in the middle of a ham?
Hey, remember all that stuff those kids wrote about us
on the message boards? Yeah.
Things like, "You guys should upload more videos,"
and, "When's your next show?" And, "We want more."
Let's give 'em more. More?
Okay, what are we talking about here?
Doing a web show, online, every week.
Why? 'Cause it can be
whatever we want it to be, no adults to say,
"You can do this. You can't do that."
We can do whatever we want, say whatever we want.
Would it mean I have to do, like, work and stuff?
Well, if you're gonna do it, you gotta prepare for it.
Eh, then make it your show.
You do the work, I'll just show up

Wait, what's the show gonna be about?
Anything. Something different every week.
But for the first show, kids with bizarro talents.
Ah, clever.

We say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Hey, why don't you guys call your show "iCarly."
