iStakeout Review


iStakeout  #20 on YTV
Originally Aired:  April 5, 2008 (20th), Filmed 21st (121)

Synopsis:  Two cops see a suspect on iCarly they have been trying to catch.  Apparently he sells pirated DVDs.  They cops hang out in the loft for weeks and catch nothing.  So the iCarlys go on their own stakeout wearing crazy outfits to get intel.  What they find out is that the guy is selling pirate movies he makes with his friends.
Side Story:  Sam and Freddie make a bet, Freddie loses and has to get a tattoo on his arm of Sam's face.

Fun Facts:  
Idiot adults alert!  The two cops are very inept.
TWO of the penny-tee phrases come from this episode - Parole Baby and Church Pants.
Sam's cousin Annie is a tattoo artist.
Peppi Cola makes an appearance.
Mrs. Benson appears again and we learn that she and Freddie take synchronized swimming classes.  Complete with tiny red speedo.
The cap cam seen in the last episode is back!  (iGot Detention).
The Blix machine in the background is the pop that was used a lot on Zoey 101.
Scarlet's Web is the same a Charlotte's Web.
The man who plays the store clerk is from the 80s show Moonlighting.
Freddie's mom calls him Fredward for the first time.

Spencer Side Count:  Making Socko a birthday cake that is shaped like a giant sock.

Penny Tee Count:  Finally!!! - Ointment 500, worn by Carly.

Review:  Crazy Fruit DUDE!  This one is NOT one of my favourites.  I am not into the stupid adult theme which you have seen previously.  This one has once again a pair of idiot adults.  The saving grace of the episode is the side story of Sam's face tattoo on Freddy.  That is funny.  Spencer makes the cop thing funny, but the cops really annoy me.

Total Score: 3/5
