The Amanda Show was an All That Spin-Off starring Amanda Bynes that ran from 1999 to 2002. It was a sketch comedy created by Dan Schneider, starring Amanda and helped to build the careers of Drake Bell and Josh Peck. A Running Gag revolved around a super fan of the show Penelope Taynt constantly trying to break into the studio to meet Amanda. As Penelope was played by Amanda herself, you can guess how successful she was.The show's Amanda Please website—designed in-universe by Penelope—notably stayed on the web for nearly 15 years, even after the show was long since cancelled, but it was sadly taken off in 2015 as part of a rehaul of Nickelodeon's website. Thankfully, that's why we have the Wayback Machine.Recurring sketches include: Judge Trudy: A 13-year-old judge who often has to sort out settlements between children or teenagers against adults, and she always sides with the young. Her childish bailiff then carries out her humiliating punishments. Then she brings in the dancing lobsters. The Girls' Room: 3 aggressive girls and Debbie (who keeps saying she likes eggs) run events in the girls bathroom at their school. Debbie's popularity among viewers eclipsed that of The Girls Room sketch itself. Penelope Taynt: An obsessive fan who's always trying to meet Amanda and promotes the website Amanda Please! This sketch mostly serves as commercial promotion of www.amandaplease.com Blockblister: An (illegal) video store run by an Eastern European family parodying Blockbuster (the real-life store was referenced) and many people thinking the store is Blockbuster come in to buy a movie, only to realize that it's just a cheap invokedNo Budget rip-off with the video store workers replacing all the actors. Then cue the angry backlash they get from customers who proceed to scream at them to go to hell. A Hillbilly Moment: Two hillbillies share knock-knock jokes with each other, which always end with the boy hillbilly getting hit with an object related to said joke. Dooper: A bizarre line of restaurants that sell inedible foods (e.g. "mucus pukus" ice cream; "Try it. Snot bad!"). One sketch details that they're able to stay open because the town's local health inspector is a moron, who simply pulled a Do Wrong, Right on a spider infestation in the ice cream Dooper sketch. Moody's Point: A parody of teen dramas and soap operas by satirizing just how emotionally exaggerated they can be. Dan Schneider tried to launch this sketch as its own series (a spin-off of a spin-off?) Totally Kyle: A laid-back hippie surfer telling mundane stories often saying "One time", "uh" or "um", "it was all", "like" and "totally" that don't come off much as surprises. Melody and Thad: Two singers are booked to perform at a certain venue, only for them to sing rather insulting and gross songs (e.g. "One time I ate in the restaurant; the food was disgusting and bad. The spaghetti had fungus; the rats were humongous, and the waitress threw up on my Dad"...). Stranded: A parody of Survivor where a group of contestants (usually consisting of characters from other sketches) must remain in a certain location the longest in order to win the grand prize. Mr. Gullible: A funny-looking short man with weirdly protruding teeth and who often gets taken advantage of by people (usually high school students) for his conventional mind and gullibility. Mr. Oldman: Some old fat guy who gets prank called by the same girl. He's also very gullible. Almost every sketch opens with him screaming that he hates children. Tony Pajamas: A teen Italian mob boss (parodying The Sopranos) with his portly assistant Paulie. He has an overly sexualized girlfriend, Candy, who often gets into trouble at school such as cheating on an exam. When _____s Attack: A parody of "When Animals Attack" that shows people getting mauled by hula girls, cheerleaders, old ladies or The Brady Bunch. The Dare Show: Sharon and her brother Toby host a show out of their attic where they take any dare sent by their viewers. This usually results in them backing out before the darer calls them chicken, causing them to do the dare as intended. Crazy Courtney: A weird girl with goofy looking teeth who annoys people, talks unusual and usually yells "MA-HA!". So You Wanna Win $5: A game show parodying Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? that asks very easy questions to really, ''really'' stupid contestants where you can only win $5. Marcy Stimple: Some crazy, hyperactive woman dressed up like a little girl who appears to have ADHD and/or maybe even mental retardation. Commercials: Commercials that help kids get out of doing homework, going to school or listening to their parents and teachers, or getting to eat very bizarre and incredibly unhealthy foods. The Lucklesses: A whole family of Butt-Monkeys. The Klutzes: A clumsy family that cannot avoid breaking things.

Badly Battered Babysitter
 The Amanda Show / int_127a3b31
comment
Badly Battered Babysitter: Inverted in one skit with Amanda babysitting two children—and the babysitter is a massive woman child who terrorises the children with her babyish antics. The children try but fail to babysit her instead. They end up locking her in the closet and stealing their mom's car keys to go catch a movie likely by one handling the wheel and the other doing pedals. A Blockblister skit featured a babysitter bringing an Enfant Terrible to the store. The child is so furious with the movie that she fires the babysitter—who reacts by jumping for joy.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 The Amanda Show / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Tony Pajamas sketches often ended with the "Al Dente Brothers" pulling up to wherever Tony was and attacking him by hurling food into the building (in one case, jelly-filled doughnuts). It was clearly meant to be a kid-friendly version of drive-by shootings from Mafia movies and television, completely with overly dramatic music and everyone acting like getting hit with pastry was the equivalent of death.

Genre Savvy
 The Amanda Show / int_1777688d
comment
Genre Savvy: The producers of Stranded become this in the second iteration of the show. In the first instance, the contestants were forced to stay in a car in a parking lot in Oklahoma for a million-dollar prize, but the producers left the cash in the trunk of the vehicle and the keys in the ignition, allowing Judge Trudy and the Bailiff to steal both for a day in Las Vegas. In the second version, the contestants are instead stuck in a bathtub, with the prize money dangling from the ceiling a few feet away—meaning that anyone who tries to take the money would have to leave the tub to do it, thus immediately disqualifying them.

One "Girls' Room" sketch has Amber competing with hated rival Danielle Spencer for the position of class president. When they both learn that a new kid named Jamie is also running, they agree to team up to take "her" down...only for Sheila to reveal that Jamie is actually an extremely handsome teenage guy. Amber and Danielle quickly agree to drop out of the race and support Jamie instead.

Like Father, Like Son: Totally Kyle one time got an F on a book report because it was all about donuts. His teacher called in his parents, and she's repulsed that Kyle's parents act just like him, and that his dad wrote the report, not Kyle. Then, Kyle's grandparents arrive as well and they also follow this trope. There's also the kids' mom on "The Dare Show".

Strange Minds Think Alike: One "Girls' Room" sketch saw Amber, Sheila, Tammy, and Debbie hosting a talent competition. Kyle (of "Totally Kyle") shows up and displays his talent of long, meandering, pointless stories. Debbie, who's just as ditzy as Kyle, is immediately smitten, and the two bond over their shared love of eggs. When Sheila goes to give Kyle a swirlie, Debbie asks if she can do it herself...only to start vigorously making out with Kyle in the stall.

Logging onto the Fourth Wall: Penelope promotes her amandaplease.com website whenever she appears on the show, even showing off some of its features.

It remained intact for many years after the show's end before redirecting to the Nick website around the mid-2010s.

Animated Credits Opening: Each episode of the first season began with a cartoon in which Amanda grows dissatisfied with current TV programming (which differed with every episode), so she goes to Nickelodeon Studios to start her own show.

Kavorka Girl: Crazy Courtney. She's crude, gross, loud, uncouth, childish, homely, dresses Grandma-like, and tends to use terms like "Ma-Ha!" when she's not driving someone nuts. She's also very popular amongst her peers and in one sketch, has a handsome boyfriend.

Disproportionate Retribution: In one Cold Open, Amanda is napping before the show starts, and Drake convinces Josh that the two of them should do the opening bit themselves. When they go out, a few audience members immediately assume that they're trying to take over the show and lead everyone in the auditorium in beating the guys up.

Enemy Mine
 The Amanda Show / int_5989e3b6
comment
Enemy Mine: One episode-spanning Penelope sketch had Penelope teaming up with Josh: if he introduces her to Amanda, she'll make Drake "disappear" and allow Josh to take over all of his sketches (which leads to an Imagine Spot with Josh as characters like Kyle, Ennis the Hillbilly, and Tony Pajamas). Though Josh initially agrees, he ultimately can't bring himself to do it and saves Drake instead. One "Girls' Room" sketch has Amber competing with hated rival Danielle Spencer for the position of class president. When they both learn that a new kid named Jamie is also running, they agree to team up to take "her" down...only for Sheila to reveal that Jamie is actually an extremely handsome teenage guy. Amber and Danielle quickly agree to drop out of the race and support Jamie instead.

Police Are Useless
 The Amanda Show / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: Varies per sketch, but the show depicts a number of police officers to be incompetent. Barney, Amanda's fat, slovenly lazy security guard, was the most frequent example. His love for food sometimes gets exploited by Penelope who Barney refuses to allow to break into Amanda's private room. One time when Drake ordered a pizza but it came with thick crust instead of thin, Amanda asked Barney to flatten out the crust. Barney sits on the crust (making it perfectly thin-crust) but proceeds to lock himself with the pizza in his booth and eat it all up as Drake angrily screams for his pizza back. Also in a sketch that involves 2 teens eating up a family's food supply after fooling the family 3 times consecutively using disguises of firefighters, repairmen and astronauts, a pair of cops come up to the family warning them about the teens. The family mistakes for the cops to be the teens again, and when the dad starts roughly handling the cops, the cops decide to just arrest the family - allowing the teens to infiltrate the now empty house and eat up the food. In one Lucklesses sketch, after the daughter gets her money stolen by a burglar, a police officer apprehends that burglar quickly but the burglar gets away from his grasp. The officer does try returning the money, but the burglar re-stole it and ran off. The officer continues to sugarcoat it some more that nobody got hurt, but the burglar returns just to smack the dad. Speechless, the officer leaves in defeat or to go catch the burglar again.

Disrupting the Theater: In a Courtney sketch, Courtney sits next to a boy at the movie theater and annoys him to no end. She blows her nose and puts the tissue in his hand, cuts his hair, tries to feed him yogurt, tries to pick his nose, paints his face, and gives him a wedgie that pulls his underwear right out of his pants. The boy leaves, and Courtney's date takes his seat so they can watch the movie together.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Well, extremely biased judge more than evil, but her Bailiff is the only adult Judge Trudy treats with any respect, probably because he's as immature as her. Best demonstrated in the "Stranded" sketch, where instead of betraying each other they take the keys of the car and go to Vegas after realizing the prize money was in the trunk.

Meaningful Name: The protagonist of Moody's Point is named "Moody". Her emotions frequently shift and she's usually melancholy. There is also Mr. Oldman who is well, a cranky old man! And there's the recurring families with last names that match their personalities—The Simians (who are half-ape), The Lucklesses (who have terrible luck), The Extremes (who overreact to everything), The Klutzes (who are inhumanly clumsy) and The Literals (who take everything literally). And don't forget Mr. Gullible, the gullible substitute teacher.

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Actually more of a Spotlight Stealing Skit. When Moody's Point was added, the episodes basically consisted of one sketch...then the rest of the episode dedicated to Moody's Point, with maybe a short sketch like Mr. Oldman put in if the episode didn't run long enough. Granted, it was pretty funny and very well written; but it seemed almost like the episodes were centered around "Moody's Point".

Do Wrong, Right: In Judge Trudy sketches. One sketch has kids throw potatoes at the defendant and she complains. Trudy then orders the kids to switch from potatoes to squashes. And in another sketch, kids were pelting the plaintiff's aunt with garbage because that plaintiff was ordered by her mother to kiss her aunt goodnight. Trudy objects to this, and states they instead direct their garbage at her mother for carrying out the order, not the aunt. In the cold open for the Season 2 finale, Drake and Josh are getting beaten up by the audience for not putting out Amanda on the set and trying to open the show themselves. Amanda wakes up just in time and tells the audience members that they can't beat Drake and Josh up onstage..."If you wanna beat them up, take it outside." Guess what the outcome is.

 The Amanda Show / int_a536f3a3
comment
Gender-Blender Name: A "Girl's Room" skit uses this as its punchline. Amber is running for class president and she's trying to scare off all the girls who are running against her. When she learns that a new kid named "Jamie" is running, she demands to meet her. However, when it turns out that Jamie is a handsome boy, Amber and her Girl Posse all decide to vote for him.

Rule of Funny
 The Amanda Show / int_a60e3252
comment
Rule of Funny: Amanda fell asleep in a cold open after eating too much, and then Drake and Josh were supposed to wake her up but instead they tried introducing the show themselves. The audience (who did not expect nor want them to take over) charges at them with baseball bats, shovels and pitchforks. Yup, they just had those with them even before they knew Drake and Josh were going to do the show.

A Blockblister skit featured a babysitter bringing an Enfant Terrible to the store. The child is so furious with the movie that she fires the babysitter—who reacts by jumping for joy.

comment
One episode-spanning Penelope sketch had Penelope teaming up with Josh: if he introduces her to Amanda, she'll make Drake "disappear" and allow Josh to take over all of his sketches (which leads to an Imagine Spot with Josh as characters like Kyle, Ennis the Hillbilly, and Tony Pajamas). Though Josh initially agrees, he ultimately can't bring himself to do it and saves Drake instead.

Hanging Judge: Parodied with Judge Trudy, who inevitably finds the adult figures in her courtroom guilty of "crimes" like asking their children to take baths or kiss a relative. Her punishments ranged from exorbitant damages paid to being locked in a confined space with sick people for two weeks.

Trademark Favorite Food: Pizza is the most frequently depicted food on the show. Debbie likes her eggs. Kyle's (and his parents') is donuts. While there were several phony commercials on the show, the most commonly parodied food was breakfast cereal: Meatloaf Crunch (exactly what it sounds like), Mammal-Os (which came with the free prize of adorable baby animals), and Snap-Crackle-KABOOM! (no points for guessing what that did).

Parody
 The Amanda Show / int_ae853f28
comment
Parody: Many of the sketches, such as Judge Trudy, So You Want To Win Five Dollars, etc. There's one Survivor parody called Stranded, which is a good example. The last one to leave the set location (a bathtub in North Dakota, a parked car in Oklahoma, etc.) wins the prize. The latter ultimately goes Off the Rails when the two remaining contestants (Judge Trudy and the Bailiff) realize that the keys are in the ignition and they've got a million dollars in the trunk.

Hypocritical Humor: A crucial component of Judge Trudy sketches, where kids complain about punishments their parents inflicted on them even though they did something bad to their parents first. In a Blockblister sketch, one overweight woman complained about the exercise video she rented. The video showed the 2 kids simply sitting on chairs repeating over and over "Sit up! and "Lie down!" while eating a pepperoni pizza. After the video ends, the kids fat shame her.

True Companions: Judge Trudy and the Bailiff—it's also a case of Only Friend for the former, as Judge Trudy doesn't seem to like (or even tolerate) anyone else. It's exemplified in the first "Stranded" sketch: the last remaining contestant in a car in a parking lot in Oklahoma will win a million dollar prize. When Judge Trudy and the Bailiff end up as the final two, the Bailiff realizes that the cash is in the trunk of the car...and the keys are in the ignition. Rather than betray each other, they immediately team up to swipe the vehicle and zoom off to Vegas to split the prize together.

Hope Spot: Most of the Dooper sketches would have the last recipe offered actually taste good and seemingly not contain disgusting ingredients...only for the food in question to end up being the most dangerous of all. Examples include "cookies and dynamite" in Ice Cream Dooper (which makes the person who eat it explode), a "refrigerator crunch" snack from Cookie Dooper (which somehow triggers an actual fridge to fall from the ceiling and crush whoever eats it), and "Lincoln Punch" in Souper Dooper (which summons Abraham Lincoln himself to punch the customer in the face).

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: One Penelope sketch has her sending Barney all the way to Beijing through a trap door. Upon landing in a random family's house, he brushes himself off, confirms that he's in China, and immediately asks what they're eating—despite the fact that he just fell through the center of the Earth. The family themselves also get in on this trope: they're only momentarily shocked at a strange American man falling through their ceiling and happily share their lunch with him.

Then, after a brief pause, she tells the crowd that they may now throw garbage at the defendant.

Exact Words
 The Amanda Show / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: In one Cold Open, Amanda is asleep, and Drake convinces Josh that they should try to do the intro themselves for the day. Unfortunately, the audience members assume that they're trying to take over the show and rush the stage to kick the stuffing out of them. After a few minutes, Amanda wakes up and tells everyone that they can't just brutally beat Drake and Josh up onstage...by which she means they need to beat them up outside. The mob drags the boys away while Amanda does a proper introduction.

Super Gullible: Whenever someone tells Mr. Gullible the substitute teacher an obvious lie, he would ask them "Really?" and then he will believe the lie as long as everyone who's in on the lie agrees it's true.

Complexity Addiction: An audience member asks Amanda to open his soda by using her voice to shatter the glass. Amanda tries - and shatters several other things - but doesn't get the bottle open. The boy is shocked when she suggests simply taking the lid off.

Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!: Sharon and Toby of "The Dare Show" refuse disguisting, painful, or humiliating dares until the darer starts calling them chicken, coward, yellow belly, etc., then they do it just to prove they aren't, and immediately regret it. Their mom is the same.

comment
Pet the Dog: One Judge Trudy skit involves a girl suing her mother for sending her to her room for refusing to kiss her aunt. When the aunt stands up, the audience starts throwing trash at her like normal. In perhaps the only moment of kindness she shows to an adult who isn't her baliff, Judge Trudy tells them to stop, since the aunt wasn't the one who punished the girl, her mother was. And indeed, the aunt is left alone for the remainder of the show.
