Goofs

Quotes
Jennette: Do you wanna interview me?
Christopher: About what?
Jennette: iCarly.
Christopher: I'm on Victorious.
Christopher: (talking to Noah Munck) You know, in the history of this show, I have only been nervous to meet three guests: Paul McCartney, Gary Busey, and now, Gibby.
Noah: Who would be excited to meet Gary Busey?
Christopher: Have you seen Gary Busey? He's like a wild lion with a rump full of hot sauce.
Christopher: My next guest is both well-known and unappealing. He plays the role of Spencer Shay with all the subtlety of a wild monkey. Before he played Spencer, you may have seen him in the men's room at the burbank airport where he cleaned the urinals.
(after Christopher continuously calls Noah Munck "Gibby" instead of Noah)
Noah: Actually my real name is Noah.
Christopher: I like calling you Gibby.
Miranda: It looks like a crap, doesn't it?
Jennette: A crap? A crap! She calls a crepe a crap!
Miranda: [laughing]
Jennette: It looks like—she goes, "it looks like a crap, right?"
Miranda: [laughing] And I [laughing] And I took French for three years.
Jerry: Son of a--
Nathan: [yawwwwwn] (repeated)
Miranda: Actually my last name's Cosgrove.
Christopher Cane: Look Sweetheart, We've only three minutes to do this, you really want to waste time debating your last name?
Christopher: Do you hate Jerry Trainor?
Christopher: You know, you were so adorable on Drake and Josh.
Miranda: Oh, thanks.
Christopher: What happened?
Miranda: [Gets mad] Just show my bloopers!
Christopher: [to Miranda] My what a temper you have. I see why Johnny Depp dumped you.
