Show generally

Continuity mistake: Whenever they are doing the show, Freddy is almost always holding the large camera with blue light. When it shows him holding it, it's shaking. When it shows Carly and Sam from the angle of Freddy's cam, it is perfectly still. Always.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Freddie holds his camera to film the web-show, he holds it at chest height pointing the camera upward to film the faces of Carly and Sam, but when you see footage from Freddie's camera it is completely straight.

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: In episode 3 of Season 1 we see Sam smashing the locker next to Carly's as she thinks it is hers. Gibby comes up to her and says that it's his locker and hers is the one on the right - which she promptly unlocks. However, in the next episode (ILike Jake) the start of the episode features a gag where Sam has traded lockers with Arthur Gradstein, to be next to Carly's locker as her locker is in between two sweaty aggressive football players, however in the previous episode she was seen unlocking the same locker that she apparently just traded with Arthur, after smashing Gibby's locker that is in the middle to pieces.

IPilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During Sam and Freddie's first interaction, Sam can be seen holding a coffee cup when she enters the room. For the first half of the conversation the cup is plain white, but as the camera returns to Sam, and she says, "You mean I can't play with the white balance on your super-dee duper-ee camcorder?" A green logo on the cup is plainly visible.

ILike Jake - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Sam walks in on Spencer wearing the plaster head, just after he points out the breathing and feeding tubes, there is plaster smeared all over the left tube that vanishes, reappears, then vanishes again in following shots.

Suggested correction: That's because the episodes were aired out of order, which isn't a mistake of the show. Episode 4, "ILike Jake", was the 2nd episode produced and episode 3, "IDream of Dance", was the 13th episode produced.

INevel - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Nevel gets some tapenade on his face, but the amount isn't consistent. When he looks at Spencer you can see there is more on his face.

IScream on Halloween - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Sam pushes Freddie into the "haunted" apartment. In the very next shot, from inside the apartment, Freddie is standing up. In the next shot, outside the apartment, Sam is pushing the cart with Freddie's equipment on it and Freddie's voice says something like, "Ow! Quit it, Sam!" as if he is still lying on the floor. In the next shot, back inside the apartment, Freddie is standing up again.

IWant a World Record - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Carly and Sam stick their heads in buckets of water to stay awake. Their heads and clothes are wet during the whole scene, but when the show comes back from commercial, their hair and clothes are completely dry.

IPromote Techfoots - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Sam hires a personal chef, Sonia. When Carly, Sam and Freddie are sitting at the table and Spencer is talking to them, Sonia takes the blueberry muffins out of the oven and puts her oven mitts down. Next, Spencer starts walking away. Then Sonia is putting down her oven mitts again. There is no way she could pick up and put down her oven mitts that fast. (00:13:15)

IPromote Techfoots - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When they have the first meeting with the techfoot people, Sam is eating a sandwich. Every time the shot goes back to her and Carly, the amount of the sandwich she has eaten changes. Sometimes there is a bite taken, and then the next time there isn't a bite taken out of it.

IFence - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Carly's cousins come over, Sam goes upstairs to read a book. When her cousins are gone and Carly goes upstairs, she sees a boy rubbing Sam's feet. In between shots, Sam's right foot goes from facing inwards to being flat.

IFight Shelby Marx - S2-E20

Other mistake: At the beginning, when everyone is watching Shelby fighting on TV, the timer is going too slow. According to the timer, the fight ends at 2:53, which is only 7 seconds of fighting, yet the fight was way longer than that.

More trivia for iCarly

Show generally

Question: I need someone from across the pond to help settle an argument between me and my wife. In the episode "i Rock the Vote", Wade Collins repeatedly uses the term "hob knocker." My kids asked, "What's a 'hob knocker'?" I said that it was something they made up that sounds somewhat British, probably insulting, and possibly vulgar. My wife insists that she has heard it somewhere else. So, for the record, what, if anything, does "hob knocker" mean?

Answer: In direction translation it means 'Mischievous Spirit'. 'Hob' as in HobGoblin means clown or prankster, and 'Knocker' was an old age term for Poltergeists in mines. Miners would often complain of hearing knocking sounds down mines when there was no-one else down there, hence 'Knocker'. It's not a regular English expression though.
