Seddie Friendship is the friendship pairing of Sam and Freddie.
Sam and Freddie have most likely known each other since the sixth grade or elementary school, after Sam met Carly. They now go to high school together, along with Carly.
Throughout the series, Sam and Freddie's relationship has grown from pretending to be enemies (as a type of game played, as Dan has tweeted) to real friends. People also think that Sam and Freddie hate each other but deep down the two know they really care about each other. This has been shown numerous times when it's really important for one to receive help from the other. It is also known that people who think of the two as a couple also believe in their friendship.
Many Creddie shippers support this friendship, just like many Seddie shippers also support the Creddie Friendship.
Remember, this article is strictly for friendship, so no romantic pairings. (See Seddie for the Romantic Pairing.)

Freddie deletes a chain e-mail from Gibby and is tricked by Sam into believing that this is the source of his bad luck. When he sees her manipulating his bike, he doesn't say anything and later gets back at her.
When Freddie tells Carly and Sam that his mother likes Lewbert, Sam starts to make one of her usual cutting remarks, when Freddie shouts, "No jokes, Puckett, this is serious chiz!" Sam raises her eyebrows at this. She may have been surprised, and perhaps impressed, that Freddie was standing up to her for a change.
Sam reacts to Freddie's "serious chizz" comment.
Sam does back off of Freddie when she sees that he's really upset, and says, "Benson..." in a caring tone.
Just the fact that Sam did not retaliate for Freddie raising his voice to her could arguably be considered a moment of friendship for them.

Freddie says "Sam, even though you cause me physical and emotional pai
Freddie toasts Sam.
n -not joking-, I think of you and me as really close friends." This means despite Freddie and Sam's bickering, they're still really close and good friends and obviously care about each other.
Freddie also says that Sam's funny, cool and the only girl who can knock out a truck driver with only a carton of milk.

Freddie leaves after Carly says she's making Sam girlier. (Maybe because Freddie doesn't want any part in making Sam change.)
Freddie and Carly cheer at Sam for beating up Jocelyn.
Sam showed no real reaction to Freddie's rather harsh statement, "This THING is not my friend!" Sam has shown a tendency to hide her emotions, but in this case, it may simply be that she knew Freddie well enough to know that he didn't really mean what he was saying.

Freddie wins a six-month cruise around the world, which he really wanted to go on, but he gives it up, solely to help Sam. This is easily one of the greatest sacrifices that an iCarly character has made to help a friend.
In the end, when Carly is saying how he cares about Sam, which he denied in the beginning of the episode, he just says "Well, she was really upset." Avoiding the subject and basically saying that he does.
Freddie giving up the cruise not only shows how much he cares about Sam, but also how far their friendship has come. In the past, he would never have done something like this for her.
Sam chases Freddie in school and grabs his hand, choosing to tell him first, instead of Carly, about the Bikini Dog Food Fight idea.
Freddie knows Sam well enough to know what she was thinking when she gives him a devilish grin, and pulls out the bikini. Even though he tries to run at first, he then starts to fight back and grabs the bikini from her, showing how he has grown over the show.

Seddie laughs at Carly's bunny.
When Freddie thinks he is the only one who won the locker, he is cheering and Sam looks upset/hurt.
When Freddie says "In your face you blonde headed demon!", Sam stands there with a disappointed look.

This could be an indication that Sam isn't annoyed as much as before and that she takes the insults as part of their growing friendship.
Sam says she would have given Freddie the locker for free.
When Sam's mom's car breaks locker 239, Freddie jumps behind Sam and pushes her against the wall to protect her.

After Freddie gets his scissors and makes his way back home, Sam comes into the scene, and though she calls him "dishrag", she says it in a some-what nicer tone than usual.
Freddie says "I thought you had detention today," meaning he knows a lot about Sam's life, and is worried about her getting in trouble for ditching.

Sam and Freddie promise that from then on, they would all tell each other everything. That means that Sam and Freddie are close enough friends that even the two of them would tell each other everything.
Freddie asks Carly how Sam did at the dentist, which shows that he cares about Sam.
When Carly tells Freddie that Sam thought her thumb was missing, Freddie looks concerned when asking "Was it?"
When the prisoners escape, Freddie looks at Sam multiple amount of times like he is expecting her to beat them up for him.
Sam could've beaten up the prisoners, as Dan Schneider later blogged, but the reason she didn't was because she considered the safety of Carly and Freddie, showing that she cares about Freddie.

(Normally, one would expect Sam to be rolling her eyes at Freddie and making a snide remark, such as "Yeah, in your dreams, nub," or something of the sort.)
Freddie tells Sam before anyone else about the new iCarly record. It does not show him informing Carly. They also knuckle-touch when he tells her.
When Freddie runs up to Sam and excitedly asks, "Are you ready for this?", she smiles and says, "Sure, tell me." (In the past, she would have responded instead with a disparaging quip, like "Did some girl finally get desperate enough to give you the time of day?")
Sam says "I feel like a nub." and immediately apologizes to Freddie. Usually, Sam would not have apologized for calling Freddie a nub.

Freddie is concerned when Sam is late getting back from The Petographers.
Freddie does not get upset with Sam, either for broadcasting his argument with his mother over the webshow or for holding him back when his mother was showing his baby pictures to the Ridgeway students, even though both of these actions made his ordeal worse. As he has indicated before, Freddie is used to Sam making his life miserable.
When Freddie asks the girls if they like his new apartment, both Carly and Sam say yes, although it's clear that they don't. Later, Sam does tease Freddie a little about his apartment being "disgusting."
When Carly says "awesome technical producer", Sam says "Fredalupe" and dances, agreeing that Freddie is "awesome".
Sam says that Carly made her go to Gibby's to convince him not to fight Freddie and she actually goes but Gibby says, "To no avail," meaning she actually tried.
Freddie bursts into the Shay residence asking Carly if she heard that the billionaire picked up Sam in a helicopter. This implies that Freddie was the first one Sam called to inform on what was happening.

Apparently, Sam thinks people screaming at each other is fun, meaning she probably has fun fighting with Freddie.
