First off, this episode includes Nevel, a reoccurring antagonist of this show. He has he some good performances, and this proves to be his best. This time, nevel's inner meanness is caught on video as he screams at a innocent little girl. Carly and the gang celebrate by a cheesy karma party. After the party, Nevel comes to THEM for help. They finally succed with a heart-felt apology to the little girl. Meanwhile, Freddie stars as a vampire in an ICarly skit, making him popular with girls.
Overall, I give this 9.5 outta 10, and I highly recommend it. Especially to people who have previosly liked this show. The comedy rate was higher than normal, and the interesting, funny Nevel storyline was revisited.
"iPity the Nevel" is a really lame attempt at poking fun at the meltdowns of celebrities in recent years. Think Christian Bale, Alec Baldwin, that sort of thing. A couple problems with that. They already did this on an episode of Dan Schneider's other teen comedy Zoey 101, and there has not been an incident like this in awhile.
Now, I can excuse those two things if it was actually funny, but this really was not. Too much cheap humor from all of the characters. Spencer buttering his face, really?
Sorry iCarly, but it has seemed lately like this season should be the last.
Spencer: That fact that he was doing "nothing", was funny in itself :P . This has got to be his most random plotand he did nothing. NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!
Nevel: It was sweet during the scene when hr apologized to Molly. It showed a more serious side of iCarly, that only bursts out in rare moments on the show. I didn't like how they ruined it at the end. For ONCE Dan, you should have not left the episode open ended.
Twiblood: Funny parody of Twilight. Freddie and Gibby being vampire/werewolf was extremely funny. The stupid cowgirl, this had to be her funniest appearence. Overall, a fantastic episode, that shows iCarly can be at its best at any time and come back with a banger after a few lousy episodes (As "fans" think).
Good installment of iCarly, by the end, this episode just seemed like a huge filler though. We got some substantial development with the Nevel character only to be thrown away in the very last scene. This episode did have it's emotions, but the comedy was just really weak here.
Granted, I'm a little out of range of this show's target audience, but the whole Vampire thing annoyed me, and the Nevel plot line was contrived. We did get some takeaway scenes here though, like the line about the video's comments being monitored, or just Spencer in general (hilarious as usual).
An episode that could have had a lot of potential but just fell short in some ways. It was a fine installment, but it's far from the "best episode of the season."
A video of Nevel being mean and yelling at a little girl goes viral and soon everyone hates Nevel. Now, Nevel needs Carly's and friends help to make people like him again and show that he is sorry about what happened. Will their plan work?
Funny episode! That's pretty much all I need to say. The main plot had so many funny moments, and practically every line/scene with Spencer was funny (you'd have to see why he was so funny). This is definitely one of the funniest episodes of this show in a long time, so my final grade is an A+
Last month's new iCarly episode "iHire an Idiot" was great BUT "iPity the Nevel" beat that episode. "iPity the Nevel" was a perfect episode of "iCarly". I didn't like how Nevel was yelling at that little girl and then makes her cry by breaking her lollipop... that was just mean. Everyone in the world hates Nevel because he yelled at that little girl and calls him a jerk. It was funny when Spencer's egg fell off his water gun thing at the beginning of this episode. It was funny when Nevel is walking around the streets and then that one person threw food at him and yelled "jerk" and it was funny when the guy was using the water hose on Nevel to make it seem it rained. It was funny when Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Gibby are having a party in honor of everyone hating Nevel. It was funny when Freddie was a vampire for the horrible short film bit for "iCarly" and he keeps on using the voice. It was hilarious when Nevel is tied up. It was also hilarious when Nevel had to drink punch out of Sam's shoe and then he finds a dead cricket... kind of gross but hilarious. It was nice that Nevel apologized to that little girl at the end of the episode. I didn't like how Nevel yelled at that man in a wheelchair at the end of the episode but it was funny that everyone was there and then Nevel says "Oh chez". Overall, a hilarious episode of "iCarly". 10/10
This was by far the funniest episode of the season. I actually did like the iCarly short movie and most of the webshow, I love when the show isn't just silly and pointless and when they actually do parodies of something (kind of) relevant to popular culture. Obviously I liked Nevel's role in the episode, it humanized him, gave him another dimension that made him an interesting character. The fact that he threw away his prepared statement was a big step for him, and the apology was sweet. I just wish that last scene just didn't happen, it took away everything that made Nevel interesting and put him right back to a one-dimensional villain. Either way it was a great last appearance for him.
I loved Spencer's role in the episode, because it truly was hilarious how he could just make his presence felt without having a plot, he was just there in the background doing random things and being goofy, not being noticed and it was brilliant. Even in the Nevel apology scene, he didn't have to say a word and it added just a bit of humor to that otherwise dramatic scene.
Overall best episode of the season by far, I actually laughed out loud many times, and it might have my favorite iCarly joke of all time in it. Freddie's line about Just Desserts, I had the exact same reaction Freddie did when I heard it, at the exact same time. It was great. Also I liked that they moved to more mature plot lines, good work realizing they are not 13 anymore. Plus a blatant adult/inappropriate joke! It was all there. 9.5/10
