BOTHERING PEOPLE AT THE BEACH!
Amanda Bynes’ “Amanda Please!” Website Is Still Up And Running
Amanda, please!
2. The original Amanda Please! website definitely still exists. It looks exactly the same as it did when “The Amanda Show” ended in 2002.
It still says you can “Catch Amanda” on Saturdays at 9:30/8:30c. MEMORIES.
3. Upon entering the site, you’ll hear the glorious “The Amanda Show” theme song.
♫ ‘MANDA, ‘MANDA, ‘MANDA, ‘MANDA, ‘MANDA SHOOOOOW ♫
4. You can still ask Penelope all of your extremely pressing questions.
After a series of polite directions.
5. And after you send in your questions, you’ll get a “personalized” message from Amanda’s #1 Fan herself.
How very considerate, please.
6. Don’t forget to flip through Penelope’s collection of “Almost Actual Photos.”
Which are really high-quality for never actually meeting Amanda.
7. And her Amanda Scrapbook.
There are pages and pages of archived photos from the show, and they are GEMS.
8. You can even play *most* of the games, like “Words That Rhyme With Amanda.”
Like “salamander.” Obviously.
9. And experience extreme nostalgia with the strange questions Penelope has answered on the site.
“What does your nose look like?”
10. Finally, find out more about the girl who was BORN into the Amanda fandom.
Or “Amandom,” please.
11. You can check out the site for yourself right here.
12. Penelope thanks you for your attention, please.

The Definitive Ranking Of The Most Annoying Characters On Kids Shows
Repeat after me: “One day my kid will grow out of these shows.”
19. Chilly from Doc Mcstuffins
Yeah, Chilly is cute and all, but the worrying is out of control. Your name is Chilly. Try being “chill” for once.
Obligatory parent rant:
18. The Map from Dora the Explorer
The only reason he isn’t ranked higher is because he gets much less screen time than the other characters on the list. Some day we will be in nursing homes babbling, “I’m the map, I’m the map, I’m the map…” and it’s all his fault.
Obligatory parent rant:
17. Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town
Easily the creepiest looking character ever to grace a children’s show (not even the Teletubbies can out-creep this guy). Having to stare at his plastic, fright show of a face for half an hour is the worst.
Obligatory parent rant:
16. Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba!
He’s referred to only as “the little green one” in the opening song because there’s not much more to say about him. When he’s not moping over something he’s waving those weirdly long arms in the air.
Obligatory parent rant:
15. Max from Max & Ruby
Max is always demanding something, and his tendency to only say one word at a time bugs.
Obligatory parent rant:
14. SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants
Even if you enjoy his show you have to admit that SpongeBob’s voice — and laugh — are grating. They’re also somehow pitched perfectly to wake a sleeping baby.
13. Ming-Ming Duckling from Wonder Pets!
Don’t let the cuteness fool you. Watch enough of this show and eventually Ming-Ming’s lisping catchphrase will wake you in the night.
Obligatory parent rant:
11. The long-haired guy from Imagination Movers
All of these overly enthusiastic guys will drive you up the wall with their matching blue suits and 70 IQs, but the long-haired guy takes the cake. (Note: Long-haired guy recently cut his hair into a mohawk, which is possibly even more annoying.)
10. Angelina from Angelina Ballerina
So much drama. She is constantly throwing tantrums or otherwise being a total brat.
Obligatory parent rant:
9. Special Agent Oso from Special Agent Oso
How can he be so stupid if he’s supposed to be a special agent? Every bumbling thing he does makes you yell at the screen, “How do you have this job?”
8. Twist from The Fresh Beat Band
This goofy white dude mugs at the camera in such a way that even Jim Carrey would say, “Bring it down a skosh.” Plus he raps and scratches turntables, so yeah.
Obligatory parent rant:
7. Clarabelle Cow from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
She has the most annoying voice of any character on a children’s show ever. It’s so bad she makes even Peppa Pig sound like Morgan Freeman.
6. Elmo from Sesame Street
Elmo is cute and your kid probably loves him, but eventually hearing that high-pitched voice coming out of the TV becomes maddening. And let’s not even mention that “La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Elmo’s World!” song.
5. Dora from Dora the Explorer
Not only does she yell everything, but she never knows where she is (despite holding the title “explorer”). Plus, she popularized that annoying “asking questions at the screen” thing that so many shows do nowadays.
Obligatory parent rant:
4. Barney from Barney & Friends
You might have expected to see Barney higher on this list, but at this point it is so universally accepted that he’s annoying that he just doesn’t irk as much as he used to. Now you’re like, “There’s Barney. Doing his annoying thing.” Shrug.
3. Katerina Kittycat from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood
She throws fits when she doesn’t get her way and also has an annoying mom. (Meow, meow.) Katerina doesn’t deserve to lose points because of her mom, but oh well.
Obligatory parent rant:
2. Ruby from Max & Ruby
Part of me wants to give Ruby a break because she seemingly has to raise Max on her own. (Seriously, where are their parents? Did they abandon these annoying kids?) In the end, though, she is so bossy yet oblivious that she earns her high ranking.
1. Caillou from Caillou
Caillou earns the top spot for being an amazingly spoiled, whiny little brat. Why exactly did anyone think this would be good for us to show our kids?
