iHatch Chicks Review

iHatch Chicks #15 on YTV
Originally Aired:  February 23,  2008 (16th), Filmed 11th (111)

Synopsis:  Carly and Sam have to do a science project and so they Hatch Chicks.  However, during their hatching the ninja chicks escape.  They must be found before they DIE!  So the entire crew goes looking for them, including Duke the sweaty wrestler.  All 6 chicks are found in time and the world is saved!

Fun Facts:  
Duke is played by one of Nathan Kress' best friends, Doug.  He was seen in iPilot as one of the wrestlers that Freddie's locker is near.  Nathan and Doug play Rock Band together in a video on You Tube.
The same photo of Jerry Trainor riding a pony as a child is on the fridge and in Carly's locker.
Hobos are mentioned again, last time was when they don't have cable.
Carly threatens to bite Sam's hand in iHate Sam's Boyfriend and actually does in this episode.
Carly is always shown in a bikini but Sam is always in a one piece, also seen in iSaw him First when Carly wears another bikini but Sam is in pants and a top and an afro.  This also happens when Freddie and Sam are in a kiddy pool in a podcast and in the giant coffee cup that Spencer builds.
Nathan's voice is always a different octave throughout season 1 because they never show the episodes in the filmed order.  When Freddie says he hasn't been sticky in weeks it's more obvious.
How the stealth chicks escaped is always a mystery.
The chicks were named:  Shelly, Huevo, Omelet, Benedict, Yoko and Poachy.  As they are found they are randomly given one name.
There is apparently a website called chickapedia which is an obvious reference to wikipedia.
Sam's trombone lessons are mentioned in this and iSaw him First.
The scene where they find Poachy was redone in iApril Fools with some crazy character named Minko added.
Shelly is found in Spencer's Shower by Spencer.
Huevo is found in the sink drain by Sam and Carly.
Omelet is found behind the fridge by Freddie and Duke.
Benedict is found in the wall by Freddie and Duke
Yoko is found on a beam in the studio by Sam and Carly.
Duke says "I hear peeping!" Several times.
Poachy is first seen in the elevator window by Sam and Carly but then is found by Spencer in the heat duct and crawls into his mouth.
Poachy rides the elevator UP 3 floors with Sam and Carly but when Freddie calls the car back Poachy disappears and doesn't ride it down.

Spencer Side Count:  Helps them find chicks

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:  Cute chicks + Jerry Trainor singing + Duke's love for animals = a great episode.  Although it's a simple plot line and the ninja chicks shouldn't have been able to escape, I find this episode quite funny!  I love Spencer trying to suck the chick back to him, his roly polies and his singing!  Freddie's sad reaction to thinking he killed a chick is also a good moment.  MOVE I LOVE ANIMALS!!!  ROLY POLY!!!

Total Score: 5/5
