Sure, SNL has given us 40+ years of hilariously iconic moments. But The Amanda Show has been off the air since 2002 and we're still quoting it. That must mean it's the pinnacle of sketch comedy. Right?!
1. That time everyone wore the same dress:
2. And the time Tony Pajamas competed on a trivia show:
3. When Totally Kyle came face to face with a spider:
4. Literally anytime Courtney said, "MAH-HAH:"
5. ...anytime Courtney did anything really:
Amanda Bynes walked so Kristen Wiig could run!
6. Amanda's relatable video commentary:
7. The entire plot of Moody's Point:
what skit from the amanda show lives rent free in your head? mine is “moodys point”, a spoof of a soap opera where the main girl’s dad loses his big toe and the mom is stuck in a hot air balloon
8. Seriously, Moody's Point was comedic genius:
9. All those times Penelope Taynt took being an Amanda fan too far:
10. Like, WAY too far:
11. We can't forget about Judge Trudy:
12. ...and her very unorthodox bailiff:
13. Or the classic "Hillbilly Moment" boink:
14. Whenever Debbie said those three special words:
15. When this iconic crossover happened:

16. When Popper Pants managed to be both silly and practical:
17. Finally, anytime these dancing lobsters graced our screens:
In conclusion:
Amanda Bynes could do SNL but Lorne Michaels could never do the Amanda show
