iHeart Art Episode #13 on YTV
Originally Aired:  February 2,  2008 (14th), Filmed 9th (109)

Synopsis:  To boost Spencer's self-esteem before a gallery showing, the iCarlys find his idol Harry Joiner and ask him to come and see Spencer's art.  Unfortunately Joiner says he doesn't like Spencer's art and Spencer becomes depressed.  He gets a new job as a dental assistant.  This means that Mrs. Benson has to look after Carly at night, which she is NOT pleased with.  The iCarlys go to find Joiner and tell him to help Spencer out, and he admits he really DID like the art and was jealous of Spencer.  In the end the two of them create a giant set of teeth for the dentist.
Meanwhile Freddie bets Sam that she can't insult him for an entire week and craziness ensues.

Fun Facts:  
First mention of Galaxy Wars and Nug Nug.  Galaxy Wars is a take off on the movie Star Wars and I believe Nug Nug is a reference to the song sung by the Ewoks at the end of Return of the Jedi.  I refer to the song as the Nub Nub song...but that is close! The character Nug Nug is small and Freddie wears his outfit which is later on the real Nug nug in a future episode.
Freddie has to sign a contract promising that he shampoos twice.
Freddie asks Sam if she wants to kiss him which she does in iKiss.
Miss Briggs is mentioned as being called Bubble Butt by Sam.
Mrs. Benson appears multiple times in this episode.
To be a dental assistant you have to take a pretty intense course, but Spencer just becomes one with no training.
Mrs. Benson doesn't let kids use forks because they will stab their tongues.
Sam spends all her money on beef jerky.
The medical complex is named after Dan Schneider.

Spencer Side Count:  Makes Yipee-Yi Yo Yo, Elephant Cycle and Merry Sniffmas.  iCarly showing of Spencer's work:  Splatter Man, Yippee-Yi Yo yo, Merry Sniffmas, Video Squirrel, Bottlebot.  Creates the giant set of teeth.  Spencers type of art is known as "pop art".

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:  This episode is not my favourite.  I don't like depressed Spencer, or dentist Spencer.  The dentist scene grosses me out.  I also don't like the flute beatboxing guy who randomly appears.  I like when Spencer is crazy and nuts!  The redeeming feature of this show is the bet between Freddie and Sam and their insults!

Total Score: 2/5
