Context
Fans shared as much context from the "interesting" moment as they dared without risking spoilers or a copyright strike. Some admitted that this might be the final straw to draw them into watching the show for themselves.
Fan Theories
This Easter egg threw fresh fuel on the fire of fan theories that Megan from Drake & Josh and Carly from iCarly are somehow the same person. Jokingly or otherwise, fans proposed how the connection might be strengthened by the reboot.
More
Since iCarly is already borrowing from Drake & Josh, fans proposed that it take more elements and incorporate them into the reboot.
New Generation
The revival also had a scene where Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett) recreated the "interesting" meme, which fans took for a serious hint about her character. Many appreciated this kind of continuity between fictional generations.
Sticklers
While the image of Cosgrove holding a soda can up smugly in front of a computer screen got the point across, some fans made a point of putting the closed captions on to get the full effect.
Natural Fit
Fans praised iCarly for fitting this meme reference in seamlessly. Many were concerned that it would feel forced.
Aging
Finally, no matter how much they enjoyed the revival, for some fans it simply made them feel old to see their childhood rebooted and self-referential. You can watch the iCarly reboot now on Paramount+ here, with a free trial for new users.
