The Amanda Show, Season 3

The Amanda Show is a sketch comedy/variety show airing on Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2002 and starring Amanda Bynes in multiple roles.

Amanda:
Okay, look. I have to be totally honest with you guys. I'm really not in the best mood. <audience groans> Well, see, look; here's the problem. I usually get really nice letters from fans of the show, but yesterday, I got this. <She pulls out a letter.> Listen to what this kid wrote: "Dear Amanda, I hate The Amanda Show! <audience gasps> Sincerely, Michael. P.S. I hate your show!" Can you believe what this kid, Michael, wrote?

Audience member 1:
<stands up> LET'S GET HIM!

<The crowd starts to cheer and rally. Amanda finally gets their attention.>

Amanda:
Okay, calm down! Easy! Easy! Look, I really appreciate your mob mentality, but everybody has a right to say what they think.

Audience member 2:
I think the Russians ate the moon!

Amanda:
Except for that guy. Okay, look; since this Michael kid hates the show, I think I should go talk to him about it. Yeah?

Audience:
Yeah.

<Amanda opens the letter again.>

Amanda:
Okay, let's see. His address is right here, so you guys sit tight, and I'll go see what this kid's problem is.

<Amanda waves goodbye and walks off the set. The camera cuts to Michael's house, where she knocks on the door, and Michael's mother answers.>

Michael's mother:
Yes? Can I help you?

Amanda:
Hi. Is Michael here?

Michael's mother:
Yes. He's inside, booing at the TV. Come on in.

<The two walk inside to the living room, where Michael is booing at the television set.>

Michael:
BOO! BOO! I HATE THIS SHOW! BOO!

<He throws a shoe at the TV as Amanda walks in.>

Michael's mother:
There he is.

Amanda:
Uh, hi?

Michael:
Who are you?

Amanda:
I'm Amanda. You wrote me a letter. You said you hated The Amanda Show.

Michael:
Yeah. I'm watching it now!

<Amanda looks at the TV screen with a very confused look on her face. Eventually it dawns on her that Michael is tuning in to the wrong program thinking it was "The Amanda Show.">

Clam World Narrator:
The male clams ask the female clams to dance.

Amanda:
That's not "The Amanda Show!" That's "Clam World!" Here!

<She takes the remote and changes the channel to "The Amanda Show," which currently shows the "Crazy Courtney" sketch where Courtney runs for class president, and wins by cheating in the form of humiliating her opponent.>

Amanda:
That's "The Amanda Show."

Michael:
<laughs after watching> This IS pretty funny! <laughs some more> Oh, you rock! <laughs even more> This is a great show!

<Amanda looks into the camera which zooms out to reveal the studio monitors showing her at the house.>

Amanda:
So stick around! We'll be back in a second to do stuff! Whoo-hoo!

<Cheers and applause from the studio audience.>

<In her dream, Penelope is nominated for an award for her website, www.AmandaPlease.com, on an awards program presented by Whoopi Goldberg. This is one of the Stop Motion Amanda segments.>

Whoopi Goldberg:
All right, people! And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: the award for the best website in the world! And the winner for the best website is... <opens envelope and waits for drum roll to end> ...www.AmandaPlease.com by Penelope Taynt! Penelope Taynt, come on up, girlfriend!

<Penelope walks on stage during the resulting applause.>

Penelope:

I'm Amanda's number one fan, please, and I would like to thank the academy for giving me this award for the best website of the year, please! <bows during applause> In fact, I can think of no better way to say "thank you" than to show you all my website right now! <opens laptop> www.AmandaPlease.com.

Penelope:

Whoopi:

<Penelope faints and subsequently knocks Whoopi's head off her body.>

Penelope:
I can't believe I finally get to meet Amanda, please!

Whoopi:
Could you put my head back on my body, please?

Penelope:
Sorry, please. <She reattaches Whoopi's head to her body.> There. Now where's Amanda?

Whoopi:
She's right over there! Amanda, come on up!

Penelope:
Amanda! Amanda! Amanda, please! Amanda!

<The scene switches back to live action, which shows Penelope is dreaming.>

Penelope:
...Amanda, Amanda, Amanda! Where are you? Amanda! <wakes up> Please? It was a dream?! Why must I always awaken before I meet Amanda? I must continue sleeping immediately! Good night, please! <She hits herself in the face with her laptop and knocks herself out.>
