A Crying Robot?!?

❌

A Crying Robot?!? is a screamer video that was initially uploaded to the popular American web television series iCarly website on October 26, 2007. The original website has since been taken down, but a reupload of the video is currently available on YouTube.

The video begins with the character Spencer Shay setting up his video camera in a room where a robot sculpture can be seen in the background. He then appears in front of the camera to address the viewer, talking about how if one stares into the robot's eyes for 15 seconds, it will appear to be crying. Spencer then moves out of the shot to zoom the camera in on the robot's face. Suddenly, at 1:01, the shot cuts to Spencer screaming at the camera while eerie music plays in the background. Spencer then laughs and admits that he intended to scare the viewer, asking them to share the video with their friends. The video ends with a stereotypical "scary" laugh and a screen reading "iGotcha courtesy of iCarly", with the show's logo stylized as "iCarly" and the preceding text in a white "bloody" font.
