AMANDA PLEASE!
Once upon a time there was a beautiful young girl named Amanda. She first stole our hearts with her recurring role on All That in her “Ask Ashley” sketch before cementing herself as the funniest kid in America (take that Christina Kirkman) with her skit show, “The Amanda Show.” She entertained and delighted us with her excursions to Blockblister, frequent run ins with Penelope Taynt and trips to Moody’s Point. And let’s not get it twisted- she showed us the inner workings of the girl world with her “Girl’s Room” sketch before Mean Girls ever did. So what happened to our comedy queen? Unfortunately, it seems she has decided to take her life in a different direction.
To Amanda, it appears that “What A Girl Wants” is to have her lady parts murdered by the rapper Drake. In fact, the star of hit movies like “Big Fat Liar” and “Hairspray”, likes to spend her time dyeing her hair a hideous lavender color and tweeting to Barack Obama in attempt to have her DUIs repealed. To put it bluntly, Amanda has completely lost her mind. So while we mourn the person she once was and start betting on whether she will outlive Lindsay Lohan, let’s take a second to remember all the joy Amanda brought us:
1. Ask Ashley
That’s Me! As Ashley in the the aforementioned skit, Amanda taught us that it is perfectly acceptable to mock our friends mercilessly when they come to us with stupid questions. Thanks to her, we all learned how to be better people, through the faults of others.

2. The Amanda Show
Arguably the best sketch on the Amanda Show, “The Girl’s Room” introduced us to one of the most complex and fascinating characters on all of television: Debby. The show also taught me that assault is funny, but only if it involves hillbillies.

3. She’s the Man
Amanda Bynes’s breakthrough movie role was in the hit film, “She’s the Man”, in which she played a girl who switches places with her brother so that she can play soccer. This movie has everything you could ever want: crossdressing, homoeroticism, a shirtless Channing Tatum and Eunice, the best lab partner you’ve ever had.

4. Easy A
In what could possibly have been her last role, Amanda Bynes played Marianne, a crazy Christian hell-bent on destroying the proclaimed harlot, Olive (played by Emma Stone). While Amanda’s face may look like it was stung by one thousand jellyfish, she tried her best to bring the crazy in this role. Perhaps she tried too hard…
