And if you don't believe us,
try making French fries out of a sports bra.
Okay, next on "iCarly," we're going to talk
about the doorman who works in the lobby of this building.
His name is Lewbert.
The meanest man alive. We hate his guts.
And so you can hate Lewbert's guts
just as much as us...
We asked our technical producer Freddie...
Say yo to the people, Freddie. Yo to the people.
How y'all doing out there?
That's enough, Freddie. Anyway, we've been secretly
videotaping Lewbert for almost a week.
So let's take a look at some of the highlights.
Freddie, roll the clip.
Playback.
Okay, and there's Lewbert sitting at his desk.
Just a nasty little man working in the lobby.
And if you look real close, you can see his wart.
Zoom in on it, Freddie.
Digital zoom.
There it is living happily right on Lewbert's face.
I call that wart Little Lewbert.
Zoom out. Ooh, okay, see that lady?
Watch what happens. Out!
I just need to check my mail.
No dogs in my lobby!
I will leave in a minute.
Now! Out!
You know what? I pay rent in this building.
This is not... I can't believe you are treating us like this.
He's arguing with a pomegranate.
Pomeranian.
Whatever. Okay. Okay.
Now watch Lewbert closely.
See that little kid with the balloon right next to him?
Mommy, that man ate my cookie.
You took my son's cookie?
No. No way. Oh!
You are so cruel. You've got crumbs
falling all over your face and all over my face.
Security, that man took my son's cookie.
What are you going to do about it?
Ahh!
You see what he did? Did you see that?
As you can see, Lewbert's a bad person.
Not a good dude.
Which is why we're introducing a new segment on "iCarly,"
which we call Messin' with Lewbert.
And there's Lewbert live.
I'll dial the lobby downstairs.
Main lobby.
Ahh!
And that concludes this segment of...
Messin' with Lewbert.
Who is this?
Ahh!

What up, my peeps? Wow.
That greeting was uncool in so many ways.
Yeah, well, uncool is the new cool.
Wow, that comeback was uncool in so many ways.
All right, you know what, Sam?
What Freddie? Why don't you tell me what.
I'm a human being. Oh, you're a human being.
I feel that I deserve respect.
You deserve a brain. At least I have a brain.
Oh, no, you don't have a brain.
You have nose hairs. Look.
What did you just do? What was that?
Oh, see, when you have a cat,
that's how you get him to stop misbehaving.
You just spritz him with some water.
Well you can't do that to us.
We're not cats. Yeah, just put your little
bottle down.
Spencer, dinnertime.
You guys staying for dinner?
Yeah. I got no place to go.
I'm here. Ooh, one sec.
So what's for dinner?
We're having my special spaghetti.
Yay. Yeah.
Nice-looking meatballs.
Hey, your guys' web show was pretty awesome tonight.
I loved how you zoomed in on Lewbert's big old wart.
I wonder what would happen if you squeezed that thing?
You think some kind of Lewberty goo would squirt out of it?
I just wish I could get more people watching the show.
The same number of people watched "iCarly" this week
as last week. That's the problem.
Our show is getting better and better.
So more people should be watching it.
Why do you guys care how many people are watching?
Why do we care?
You're an artist. When you create
a new sculpture, do you want 2 people
to see it or do you want 2 million people to see it?
2 million.
So... ideas?
Yeah, your spaghetti could use more garlic.
I think Carly's spaghetti is great.
Then why don't you put some down your pants?
Because maybe I don't want to put pasta down my pants.
Maybe if you tried...
All right, look.
We all know that making a good show is important.
And so is getting more people to watch.
So what if we each come up with a cool way
to get more people to watch...
Yeah. And then we show our ideas
to the "iCarly" audience?
And we let them vote on who came up with the best idea?
Right, like a contest.
That way we do a good show and get more viewers.
I'm on Carly's team. Whoa, teams? She said each.
And why do you get to be on Carly's team?
Because "each" sounds like a lot of work.
Relax, buddy. I'll be on your team.
Seriously? Yeah, I've got time.
You're not still dating that girl?
No, she only liked me for my socks.
That's weird. Is it?
Well, okay, then. We're partners.
Partners.
Perfect. So it's me and Sam versus Freddie and Spencer.
Team with the best idea to get more viewers wins.
Okay, but I think the team
that loses should have some penalty.
Hasn't life already penalized you enough?
That's for being mean. It was worth it.
All right, come on.
What should the losers have to do?
I'm going to say losing team
has to touch Lewbert's wart.
Yeah!
I mean, uh...

Hey, Freddie.
Ow. Man.
What are you doing?
Bleeding. Why are you here?
We are going to win the contest.
I came up with an insanely awesome way
to get more people watching your guys' webcasts.
Tell me.
We get a bunch of fireworks, right,
and not the lightweight consumer-grade stuff.
I'm talking Fourth of July razzle dazzle.
Razzle dazzle? Yes, both.
Then at night, we launch the fireworks
off the roof of our building, and they explode,
spelling out "iCarly.com" in the sky.
Can we really do that? No.
So I came up with something else, a sign.
A sign? A big sign,
one that lights up all different colors
and says, "Please go online to iCarly.com."
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
And we should hang it some place like...
like over a really busy highway.
Thousands of people will see it when they drive by.
You are a tiny genius.
Well, well,
look what the janitor swept up, Spencer Shay.
I thought I'd seen the last of you eight years ago
when you graduated, but sadly you're back.
Nice to see you, Ms. Briggs.
Or now that I'm older, may I call you Margaret?
You may not. Why?
My name is Francine.
Now, get out before I give you detention.
I'm 26; you can't give me detention.
Then I give you detention. One week.
What? You don't scare him.
Yes, she does. Get out.
No. Two weeks detention.
Dude, get out of here.
No, no, no, no, no. wait.
I'm not letting this lady...
Mr. Shay, you have 30 seconds to leave or else
Freddie gets expelled.

You thought of an idea for the contest?
No. You remember at lunch

No. Well, here it is.
And thank you for flicking your used corn onto my floor.
Now give me that. You've got to help me think of an idea.
All right. Right after we watch "Seattle Beat."
No Please?
No, we're not watching... Oh, come on.
We're watching "Seattle Beat." No, we're not watching.
I'm not gonna let you. We're not watching the show.
Come on. Let me watch... Okay, fine.
Yay.
Okay, you may like the old drummer better,
but I still say they're the best band
happening in Seattle today.
And to prove it, you're going to see them right here
on "Seattle Beat" live
coming up in less than a half hour.
Is that cool?
Whoo.
And how about you people
outside the "Seattle Beat" window?
I got it. I know we're going to get
a ton more people to watch our webcast.
Does it involve dental floss? No, why?
I think that piece of corn had a friend.
Listen, you see those people
outside the window on "Seattle Beat"?
Yeah. You and I are going
to make a big banner.
I enjoy big banners.
And we're going to take it down to "Seattle Beat"
and hold it up right in front of that window
for this whole city to see.
That's brilliant. Everybody watches "Seattle Beat."
Uh-huh. Well, say thank you.
Why? I thought of it.
Yeah, but I thought of watching TV.
Let's just go make the banner.
All right. Let's a banner it up.

to come up here and be our little tester.

Well, that...

Sorry about the web banner, but that was hilarious.

Tons. People are linking to us...
Telling their friends. Okay, so wait, wait, wait.

more viewers for "iCarly,"
and yet it is precisely those miserable failures
that are getting you guys more viewers for "iCarly."
