Throwback to the days when we were younger and many of us were huge fans of the show, iCarly. There was always that one character in particular that everyone would question, but everyone loved. Even Michelle Obama is on #TeamGibby.
He has his own catchphrase
Whenever he walks into the room and realizes he has done something right, he always proceeds to say, “Gibbaay!” Apparently, the pronunciation is Gibbehhhh. But, this catchphrase is much more drawn out and very much said better by the man himself, The Gibster. It becomes a welcome to him later that everyone yells at him. GIBBAAY!
His little brother is exactly like him
His little brother, Guppy, is the spitting image of Gibby. He says the cutest things as well, such as, “I love cheese,” and “Happy Birthday!” To the average joe these phrases seem normal and everyday. But in the show, Guppy’s sayings are cuter than a large pack of puppy corgis. If that isn't a good enough comparison, I don't know what is.
He is in a long-term relationship
Of all people, Gibby has been in a relationship since 2009. As tweens we were all jealous of his relationship. If a way to a girl’s heart is a jacket with the zipper pulled down to show a little chest and a little leave-in conditioner, he’s doing it right. Even after she is caught falling on top of Freddie, he still gives her another chance. And he thinks he’s a player as well. Sam asks Gibby to the Girl’s Choice Dance, and he says, “Nah, I’m good.” Man Gibby, you have some serious game. He’s even as romantic enough to send Tasha a video message when he misses her and then walks Tasha to her car. Guys, start taking notes.
His singing voice is special
He’s so good he almost got Harry Styles kicked out of One Direction. Also, he set the mood when Sam and Freddie were kissing by singing, Loving You is My Favorite Thing To Do. Someone get this man a Grammy.
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service
No shirt doesn’t apply to Gibby. Apparently in Season 4, there is only one episode he takes his shirt off. Every other season though, does he really ever have a shirt on? But the real question is, why does he always take his shirt off? No one really knows. Gibby treats us a great lesson on self-confidence.
Strange things make Gibby sad.
Some of these things include macaroni without cheese, power tools and bread crumbs. Why?
A side of Gibby comes with a lot of nicknames
Some of these are Gibby, Giblets, The Gibster, Gibbles, and so many more. If only we could have that many nicknames, that we respond to.
Gibby doesn’t care about his haters
He doesn’t care about what people think. Whether he is rubbing up against fat cakes, taking videos of his cat, or rocking the tin foil pants, the only thing he cares about is that his mom thinks he is awesome.
In the end, puberty treated Gibby the best out of anyone
If only we all didn’t tease Gibby so much in the past. In the puberty awards, the most improved goes to Gibby.
So thank you, Gibby, for all the shirtless dancing and hours of laughter you have provided to us over the years.
