Season 1[edit]

Episode 1[edit]

Amanda: "We've gotta fly towards Nickelodeon! Please hurry, I've got a show to do."
Helicopter Pilot: "Nickelodeon? are you one of them Rugrats?" (He begins chuckling.)
Amanda: "No, I'm Amanda- Amanda Bynes."
Helicopter Pilot: "Oh, I wish you were one of them Rugrats."

Amanda: I am so excited to be doing the show because I am working with some really cool people. [loud thud] Um, it's like a dream come true, because, on a regular show, you'd never...[loud thud]...what's that noise?
[The noise was Penelope trying to break into a room.]

Amanda: And everyone here on the show really makes me feel at home. The only thing missing is my room.

Audience member 1: Hey, Amanda. Since you're the star of the show, do you think you can get pizza and flowers delivered to you in under 30 seconds by two of your favorite TV stars?
Audience member 2: And get me a banana nut muffin?
Amanda: Okay, come on; there is no way that I can get a pizza delivered in under...
[She gets interrupted by cheers and applause, and turns around to see that two All That cast members, Josh Server and Kenan Thompson, have delivered her flowers and a pizza.]

Audience member 2: <after Kenan throws him a banana nut muffin> I LOVE YOU, MAN!

Season 2[edit]

Episode 15[edit]

Audience member's great-grandmother: DON'T TRUST THE GERMANS!
Amanda: Uh, okay.

Amanda: <after the great-grandmother laughs> Uh, ma'am, that wasn't the funny part.
Audience member's great-grandmother: CREAMED CORN!

Episode 18[edit]

Amanda: Hey! What's with all the hair dryers? You blew a fuse!
Nancy: We're having a wiener roast.
Amanda: Over 30 hair dryers?
Nancy: Yeah. We're not allowed to start a fire in here. Wiener?
Amanda: Sure, okay. [to audience] We're going to roast some wieners, so stick around! We'll be back in a second to do stuff!

Season 3[edit]

Episode 33[edit]

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.>

Penelope Bribes Josh[edit]

[Josh is playing rock, paper, scissors against himself in the mirror when Penelope shows up.]
Penelope: Where's Amanda?! [Josh screams.] I said, "Where's Amanda, please?"
Josh: I...I don't know.
Penelope: How very sad for you.
[She holds up a tuning fork with electricity inside it.]
Josh: No! Oh, please don't damage me! I'm just starting puberty! It's going to be a whole new world!
Penelope: Wait!
Josh: What?!
Penelope: You're an actor on The Amanda Show!
Josh: Yeah.
Penelope: Perhaps you can be useful to me.
Josh: How?
Penelope: Introduce me to Amanda!
Josh: You're crazy! I'll get fired!
Penelope: I'll make it worth your while.
Josh: Huh?
Penelope: You know, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Josh: Uh, okay. [He turns around.] Right between the shoulders.
Penelope: No, brainless! [Slaps him on the butt.] I'm offering you a deal!
Josh: What kind of a deal?
[Penelope grabs Josh's hair to make him stand up, and he reacts to it.]
Penelope: You introduce me to Amanda, and I will make your co-actor, Blake, disappear.
Josh: Drake? Why would I want Drake to disappear?
Penelope: Think about it, simple boy. With Blake gone, you'll get to play all of his parts on the show.
Josh: Wow.
[Josh imagines himself in a Hillbilly Moment sketch, Tony Pajamas sketch, and Totally Kyle sketch, in the roles where Drake normally appears; the first two sketches air later in the episode.]
Penelope: Well?
Josh: How do we get rid of Blake?

Barney: Am I in...China?
