Notable sketches

  • Judge Trudy - This sketch is a parody of the real life courtroom show, Judge Judy, using many similarities from the actual show. For example, Judge Trudy wears a dainty lace collar like that of Judge Judy. Also, as with Petri Hawkins (aka Byrd), who is the bailiff on Judge Judy, Judge Trudy's bailiff is also African American. Judge Trudy was played by Amanda. In the "Judge Trudy" sketches, the defendant would complain that Trudy was too young to be a judge. The sketch would feature a child plaintiff 'suing' an adult defendant for petty incidents, such as an unfair grounding or an after-school detention. Trudy favoured the children by always finding the adults at fault. Not only did Judge Trudy always take the side of kids, but she gave out ridiculous sentences to adults (although Judge Judy handled small claims, Judge Trudy sentenced adults as if they were criminals). For example, one of Trudy's sentences was giving an elderly woman a piggy-back ride for her lifetime and another was trapping parents in a rocket, and the others reasons for being in the court is tipping the teachers car over for an experiment which he got to stay after school, and pouring oatmeal over the teachers head which that boy gets a detention, etc. At the end of each "Judge Trudy" sketch, the Judge calls for the Dancing Lobsters to come out. The lobsters then proceed to dance with Trudy.
  • Blockblister - A parody of video rental store chain Blockbuster. Blockblister was owned and operated by a family of foreigners with wacky accents. The family often greeted the angry customer by saying, "Yaga, how may we be helping you?" The customers were always unhappy as they found out the movies rented were just homemade spoofs of the actual movie made by the immigrant family. If the customers wanted Stuart Little, The Brady Bunch, X-Men, Star Trek, The Wizard of Oz, Austin Powers, The Nutty Professor, The Phantom Menace, Titanic, A Nightmare on Elm Street or George of the Jungle, the family would give them Stuart Lipple, The Brady Brunch, F-Men, Star Drek, The Wizard of Voz, Austin Powders, The Nubby Professor, The Vantom Menace, Tidanic, A Nightmare on Elf Street or George From The Jungle with the video featuring the family in badly made costumes, pretending to act out the movie in a course of 2 minutes, usually producing a poorly acted movie. Instead of DVDs they had DVPs (DVP players were similar to lawn mowers, and ran on gas, the DVP itself was a chunk of wood). The family often replied with "This movie better -- MUCH BETTER!" The unhappy customer commanded the family to play the video on their TV as it's not the video the customer wanted. The family often said the video was "Bravo" and "awesome", and offered the customer a hard-boiled egg. The customers would then become more angry and leave the store without paying. The results include spitting at the customer, crushing their hard boiled eggs, saying magical words in a vulgar way, on an episode the boy used mild language involving this sentence "I got an F on my report by watching your stupid movie, and now I´ll never get accepted into college". And after that the employees push the button that locks the door on him, and makes the officer (which is played by Jerry Mathers), look through the boy's allowance. Then the boy gave him $20. (normally two customers would come in during a sketch, three came on a couple of episodes in the first season). The family would then dance to polka music while holding eggs after the customer left the store. A memorable example is of one man so disgusted by the video given to him (Called F-Men, a parody of X-Men), he ripped his own arm off in response to the family's request for payment for the rental.
  • When... Attack - "When... Attack" was a parody of such dramas as "When Animals Attack",¨When hula girls attack¨, where the host, Amanda, with a different sub-name each time, such as "Cousin Oliver, from The Brady Bunch, "Bucky McBuckBuck, the World's most ticklish pony," or "Fish Daddy, The Hip-hop Halibut," would sternly explain how a group of people or things (such as "When Cheerleaders Attack", "When Old Ladies Attack", "When Bradys Attack", and "When Hula Girls Attack") attacked people. She would show the viewers two incidents of the attack. Then she shows them again in slow motion. The victims who got involved with the attack would be in interviews, and they would repeat exactly what the host said. At the end, the host will tell the viewers to call a number, usually something like "1-500-I-Just-Saw-The-Brady-Bunch-Attack-Some-Person-And-Now-I'm-Calling-This-Number-To-Report-What-I-Saw". Then the Bradys, or whatever group was featured in that episode, would arrive in the studio, forcing the host to run away. The Bradys (or whatever group was featured in that episode) would then go on to attack the cameraman. The sketch would then end with the screen going fuzzy. On the occasion with the Bradys, instead of the camera going fuzzy, the Bradys did a dance number. In the third sketch, the Brady Bunch kids (Marcia, Jan, Cindy Greg, Peter, and Bobby from The Brady Bunch) attacked and injured the Chinese delivery man and also attacked the mom and her two sons.
  • The Girls' Room - A TV show that took place in the girl's bathroom of a high school, but for one episode, took place in the boy's bathroom of the same school. During the boys' room skit, Debbie thought the urinal in the boys' room was a waterfall machine. Characters included Amber (Bynes), who was very popular and egotistical (and always made sure everyone knew she was popular), Sheila, a very aggressive tough girl who would give swirlies to girls entering the Girls' Room, Tammy, a "foreign exchange" student from Tennessee, and Debbie, a dumb girl who always made sure everyone knew that she liked eggs. 'I like eggs...'. Also, on another occasaion, she yelled 'Happy Hannukah!' while holding up a hammer which had the same thing printed on the side. In this episode, Amber had the nominees read that were: sloppy joes, noodle goo, pork loaf, and fish burgers. Debbie read "pork loaf" upside down and said "faol krop". Sheila turned the card over, and Debbie correctly answered "pork loaf". Ms. Shapein accepted the first award for the worst cafeteria food, pork loaf. Amber said that the winner was Tina Capone who won, and Sheila gave Tina a swirly. Amber accepted the final award Tina did not accept. In another, Caroline had not decided who she voted for, and Sheila gave her a swirly, and finally Caroline said that she voted for Amber. Amber and Danielle Spencer dropped out of the race and gave their support to Jamie Bradford. The episode was about Amber's birthday, and Debbie pronounced that her name was "Elizabeth". First, Debbie gave a dozen eggs to Amber. Next, Tammy brought the cake over. Out popped the young guy (Josh Peck) who danced. After Amber called for her, Sheila gave the young man a swirly. Sheila tried to give the last present to Amber, but Danielle Spencer walked in. Debbie told Danielle she liked her dress, and Danielle said the dress cost over $300. Sheila took the dress from Danielle and gave it as a gift to Amber. The episode was about prom night, and Debbie showed up after she got a sunburn after falling asleep at the tanning salon. Principal Hazzmat ordered the girls and the cameramen to leave the restroom, and Amber called for Sheila. Sheila gave Principal Hazzmat a swirly in the toilet. Sheila first dragged prom king Jeremy Pembers to the girls room. Then she dragged Danielle Spencer. After Danielle told Amber and the girls that the ugly store called and they wanted the dress back, Sheila took the crown off Danielle and gave her a swirly. She gave the crown to Amber. In the end, Amber danced with Jeremy.
  • Commercials - This little clip was usually played in the beginning of the show. Wacky TV commercials advertised strange products, like a machine that made ice cream out of trash, popcorn popping pants, a machine to multiply one's pocket money, exploding cereal, Spitballer 5000, radio controlled cars with underwear on top, red-hot candies that let people literally breathe fire, egg splat, a remote control car that carried pizza, Sick Popples, ham, pass the skunk, Mammal O's, a zapper phone, a parachute that saves you from hitting the tree and other things, and sugar veggies. Sometimes, an adult would show up and ask kids for help doing something, which would give the kids a chance to use the product being advertised (in the case of the fire-breathing candies, the father needed help to light the barbecue - the kids ate the candy and blew fire right at the grill). Also, when the kids shot the spitball from the spitballer 5000, the teacher would yell this sentence vulgarly, ¨YOU BLASTED TWEEDS¨. Others also included Meatloaf Crunch, a meatloaf cereal, and LunchBay.com, a parody of eBay.com where you could sell your horrible food to people, and a hotline that people do homework for them.
  • Moody's Point - An over-the-top parody of teen dramas/soap operas, mainly Dawson's Creek with Bynes playing the lead role of the exaggerated emotionally Moody, whose mother is lost in a hot air balloon and whose father was missing a toe. It featured her friends , such as Misty, a girl who is easily offended and would say "You're so hurtful!" and "What's that suppose to mean?" and Spalding, who has a huge crush on her but criticizes her in a ridiculous way and also gets hit by objects out of nowhere. Each episode had its own plot, and ended off with a cliffhanger. The show finished with Moody finding out that her real parents are circus trapeze artists named "The Flying Worthsbergs." It is revealed that there is another Moody, but she is never shown. The high school shown was that of Los Gatos High School in California, although they never filmed there. The Theme Song for Moody's Point is "For All I Am" by Lisa Smith. This was the only segment of the show that was taped outside of California. This segment was recorded on location in Atlanta.
  • Cynthia Worthington - Cynthia Worthington A.K.A Miss Eligance (a girl played by Amanda) is a recurring girl in a sketch who was brought up by a very wealthy and civilized family. She appears to look nice, but inside she does disgusting things to herself such as burping loudly without excusing herself, eating with just her mouth, farting, displaying that she has neglected to shave her underarms, picking her nose then wiping the mucus over her face, and publicly shaving her legs. At the end of the sketch when she does something even more disgusting, the people watching her get away from her and she responds with "How rude!", and she continues doing the disgusting thing.

  • Penelope Taynt - Penelope Taynt, also played by Amanda Bynes, was Amanda's obsessed number-one fan in the world. The name Taynt was seem by some to be a vulgar reference to a portion of the human anatomy known as the "taint." She normally wore a vest, a plaid shirt and gray shorts, as well as large framed black glasses. In the first episode that she appears in, she has a tattoo of Amanda's face on her belly, which is never seen again on the show. The tattoo has been made into a coloring game called "Color my Belly". On the show she ran a fansite, AmandaPlease.com, which is actually an official site created for the series. Penelope also had the odd habit of interjecting the word "please" into almost all of her sentences (though in her website she puts this down to the fact that she has always been told to say "please" when she wants something, and she wants to meet Amanda). Between segments in every show, she used some harebrained scheme to try and meet Amanda, but never succeeded (although in certain episodes, she managed to temporarily get Drake or Josh to help her) though she at times just missed her, or was even in the same room. These schemes include cloning Amanda from her toenail (but it turned out to be Drake's), having a blood-hound lead her to Amanda by following her scent, and often breaking into Amanda's dressing room. And in rare instances, Penelope invades skits already in progress. In one episode Penelope disguised herself as Amanda only to unmask herself to a cast member. Although the character is played by Amanda, she is not acknowledged as being so (or that she even is one of the show's characters) by other cast members. Some speculate that the character represents a parody of obsessive stalkers.
  • The Extremes - This sketch is about The Extreme Family. They are a family of three who always take every emotion to an "extreme". Whatever they feel, they seem to always overreact to it. For example, when eating pizza, the daughter begins crying hysterically, claiming she is sad that when they finish eating it, it will be gone.
  • A Hillbilly Moment - Amanda and Drake dressed as offensive stereotypical hillbillies named Lula Mae and Eenis (respectively). Lula Mae would start a knock-knock joke. The knock-knock punch line would always result in Eenis being hit on the head with whatever was mentioned in the knock-knock joke (such as the Liberty Bell or a cucumber). "Lula Mae: Knock Knock. Eenis: Who's there? Lula Mae: Liberty Bell Eenis: Liberty Bell who? Lula Mae: I'mon hitcha in da head wit a liberty bell! [Hits him over the head] Eenis: Haha... that was a good one!"
  • So You Wanna Win Five Dollars? - A game show parody of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The contestant, who wasn't very bright, was asked three questions, with the final question being worth five U.S. dollars. The questions were fairly easy, with four choices as answers. Half of the answers usually did not have anything to do with the question (i.e. Q: "How many inches are in a foot? Choices: A. - 12, B. - 97, C. - pink, D. - meat; Q: "How many stars are on the American flag?" Choices: A. - 6, B. - 50, C. - None, D. - Leather) but most contestants are so dumb that they do not win. Whenever the player needed help he wanted to call his parents, but instead the host called Mr. Oldman. Like " Stranded" (see below), it is a "crossover sketch".
  • Stranded - A parody of the hit reality TV series Survivor, this time contestants were stranded in a strange location in a certain state (such as a bathtub in North Dakota or a parked car in a parking lot in Oklahoma). The contestants were forced to stay in the place. Whoever stayed the longest would win $1,000,000. Whoever left the wacky location would summon two guards to take them out of the location, and ultimately out of the game. Among the contestants were various characters from other sketches in The Amanda Show, such as Judge Trudy, Debbie (from The Girls' Room), Kyle (from Totally Kyle), Lula Mae (from A Hillbilly Moment), Courtney (from Courtney), Biscotti (from Blockblister), Mr. Oldman (from Mr. Oldman), Tony Pajamas (from Tony Pajamas), Thad (from Melody & Thad) A Dancing Lobster, Moody (from Moody's Point), and many more. In each "Stranded" sketch on the show, Mr. Gullible was the first to be eliminated, because of his vulnerable nature. Many characters often annoyed each other into leaving the game. Judge Trudy and the Bailiff win, by realizing that they could escape the car, since the money was just laying in the truck. Plus, they had the keys.
  • The Klutzes - A family who was constantly tripping and falling down shouting "HUPDEEDOO!", sometimes destroying things. All sketches of this would always contain the words "Not a problem!" The sketch starts with the Klutzes tripping up or falling over. At the end of the sketch, the family normally end up doing something to destroy the building, or they fall out of a window. When this happens a person will shout "not a problem!".
  • Courtney - Crazy Courtney was a wacky girl played by Bynes with large teeth and a hat. Though she only appeared four times, she was a memorable character. She spoke in incomplete sentences. When mad, she would shout "MAH-HA!". She drove people insane by putting on ridiculous schemes such as spraying shaving cream into people's faces, or cutting people's hair. In all of her sketches, though, Courtney had a very good reason for annoying people, making them leave. In her first appearance, she irritated theater patron Josh so her cute boyfriend could sit next to her. When a piano teacher came over, Courtney made her leave so she could have a party. Courtney even used her wacky schemes to become Student Council President and win an episode of "Stranded".
  • Tony Pajamas- An Italian mobster played by Drake. He was known for always hitting his lackey (Josh). When his lackey asks, "What was that for?", Tony would reply, "For being an idiot!", to which the lackey responded, as if it were fair, "Okay." When anyone mispronounced Tony's last name (mostly : puh-JAM-us), he corrects him as puh-JAH-mus. Later on in the scene, Tony's lackey would look out the window and see their enemies, the "Al Dente Brothers" and they would throw food at Tony and his lackey like jelly doughnuts, shrimp, eggs, or meatballs. Two episodes starred his girlfriend Candy: one revealing their relationship and the other about Tony thinking she was cheating on him.
  • Crime Fighting Cheerleaders - The Crime Fighting Cheerleaders were a band of three high school cheerleaders (Katie, the head of which was played by Amanda, Stephanie and Megan) who arrested various criminals (e.g. bullies). Often, before assaulting and arresting the criminal, this peppy squad would recite a "Give me a [letter]" cheer, ultimately spelling something completely irrelevant to the situation (such as milk, in one episode), apparently to distract and confuse the criminal into vulnerability. After the criminal's arrest, one of the victims would gratefully ask, "How can we ever thank you?" to which the head cheerleader would, with the wacky Amanda grin, energetically respond, "By keeping up your school spirit!" Usually, a boy played by Josh would ask Katie out on a date. She would say no and knock him to the ground. At the end of the sketch, the crew would announce their exit with a last "Gimme a [letter]" cheer, spelling something like bye or c-ya.
  • ... Dooper - A restaurant that served different items every sketch. Whatever was offered, (i.e.: ice cream, soup, sushi, cookie), was usually gross. Examples included spider crunch ice cream (with actual spiders), and underwear chowder soup. On occasion, a customer would ask "Hey, didn't this used to be a (sushi, cookie, soup, etc) restaurant?" The employees would respond that it "wasn't their thing." In later episodes, they would say things like "I'll thank you never to mention that again." At the end of the skit, the customer tries a special sample that actually tastes good -- but had a surprise. After hearing the name of the sample, they will ask why it was named that. Then they have effects from the sample. Like getting crushed by a refrigerator,being invaded by aliens,being tackled by lobsters,Being blown up by Dynamite,being blown away by a hurricane, being attacked by a samurai, and being punched by Abraham Lincoln, depending on the type of sample they ate. A recurring gag is that the family's grandfather comes in from the back and the father tells him to leave. Grandpa usually responds with "FAILURE", which goes with their usually unsuccessful business.
  • Mother Caboose - An elderly woman with large framed glasses and a large butt, played by Amanda. She only appeared on the first episode of the show, and sat in a rocking chair telling a children's story. The story suddenly became inappropriate at the end such as talking about a woman's breasts and armpits. Then, all of a sudden, she developed a heavy cough, and fell off the chair.
  • Mr. Oldman - An elderly widower (played by Dan Schneider) who was a victim of constant prank phone calls from Sally Poofenduff (a character played by Amanda Bynes). The character often told Mr. Oldman to do unusual tasks, like spraying whipped cream in his mouth or confirming his order of zebras or putting a shoe down his pants or to press his nose and say "Beep!". Mr. Oldman would then scream "YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER!!!" and talk nonsense while the girl made silly faces mocking him. Mr. Oldman always appeared saying he hates children in a funny way such as "All children should be sent to Australia!", or "Children Equals Bad!"
  • Mr. Gullible - A substitute teacher, with bucked teeth, who often did what the students claimed their normal teacher did: "Our normal teacher usually... (insert wacky task here)." The wacky tasks included eating chalk, drinking out of a fish tank, giving $100 to each student at the end of class, banging his head into a locker during a fire alarm, Dancing like a bafoon during history class. He usually questions these ridiculous tasks by asking "..Really?" and the children confirm, leading to Mr. Gullible saying, "Well if that's what your regular teacher does, then I guess I should too." His personality is derived from Jerry Lewis' character Julius Kelp from The Nutty Professor
  • The Dare Show - A show hosted by a sister, Sharon, and her younger brother, Toby, played by Amanda and Drake, respectively. They claimed they would accept any dare, but whenever a caller suggested a dare, they would refuse. The caller would call them "Chicken", "Coward", "Liar", or something of that sort, and the hosts would give in. Dares included for Sharon were - 'brushing her teeth with her brother's foot' and 'making an ice cream out of herself.' They would also have to do dares together, like 'dress up as chickens.' After they would do it, they would say, "Man, I cannot believe I just did that." The caller's names would be two completely different places. For example, some of the callers' names were Los Angeles North Dakota, El Segundo Texas, New York City, Ohio, or even Barcelona Alabama. At the end of the show, their mother would find them doing the Dare Show after she told them not to. Then the caller would dare the mother to do something and the mother would refuse until being called a chicken. She then would perform the act.
  • Melody & Thad - A duo parody of Chad and Jeremy who usually performed songs that were offensive to the occasion. For example, in a restaurant, they sang a song about an unpleasant experience in a restaurant that included vomiting and snot and telling bald men that they were bald. At a wedding reception, they sang a song making fun of the groom and singing that he and his newly wed wife would divorce quickly, they also sang a song that made fun of the elderly & ended with a bizarre square dance number. All the time, the hostess would interrupt their song and tell them that it wasn't the right song.
  • Totally Kyle - A stereotypical 'Laid Back' hippie surfer played by Drake Bell who told nonsense stories, such as describing the time he lost a cordless phone, or about how finding a dead bird made him change his normal route to school. He used the word "like" a lot, and always had an electric guitar hanging from his neck. His stories usually started with the line 'One time...'. This was the only recurring sketch without Amanda. (He also made an Appearance in an All That on the Know your Star.)
  • Amanda's Jacuzzi - A talk-show where Amanda Bynes is in a Jacuzzi with a guest, who is either fictional (such as Santa Claus), famous, a deceased historical character (Amelia Earhart for example), or a random character such as the "Swiss Guy". A superstar, Elvis Presley, was there when Amanda asked him if he can puff smoke out his ears. He said "No". She asked them two normal questions about themselves, but the third question is ridiculous (such as "Is it true that your best friend is a nugget?"). The puzzled guest would reply, "No", and then Amanda asks, "How about a plate of spaghetti?" Dwarf waiters then served Amanda and the guest spaghetti, and the guest usually say something silly and appropriate, like, "Long live the me", when the guest is King Henry VIII for example, or "Good day!" when Benjamin Franklin was there. The sketch is opened with the phrase "Yo. Yo. Yo. It's Amanda's Jacuzzi." and closed with "That was Amanda's Jacuzzi. Yo. Yo. Yo."
  • The Literals - A family which takes things quite literally. On one episode, the daughter Leslie was told to chill, so she put ice down her top. Likewise, her parents were asked to "hold a glass for a second", so they drop it after one second. On the same episode, when the Literals were with the family, the father of the other family says, "You Literals kill me!" after which the Literals slowly approach him to kill him, but the cameras fade out before anything happens. Also, one of Leslie's friends asks for fruit punch and Leslie punches her. And when his friend tells her to get out of here, she tries to make her way out.
  • The Procrastinator - A superhero spoof where Amanda played a heroine called The Procrastinator, who would respond to people's cries for help by saying she will save them or solve the problem "eventually!" and stand up with her hands on her hips when she said "Eventually", then sit right back down and not do anything.
  • The Wrestleburgs - A family that is obsessed with wrestling. They all talk in deep, loud voices, have their own personal referee that turns up whenever they begin wrestling one another and always wrestle with their food (such as a cheeseburger or pizza) before eating it.
  • The Simians - A family that acts like apes due to the father of the family being an ape. The daughter is played by Amanda and the son is played by Drake. The mother is also played by Nancy.
  • Stop Motion Amanda- A stop motion animated short of Bynes that had funny skits. These sketches are also referred to as Amanda-Mation.
  • The Lucklesses - this was a one-off sketch where a family of four went to a baseball game and had nothing but bad luck. Examples included the father losing all his money to a hotdog vendor, the sister being hit with a hockey puck, and an accidental nuclear missile landing right on them and exploding, said to be a five million to one shot. Many situations would revert to the family saying 'What terrible luck' or 'What are the odds of that?'
