With her recent comeback on Twitter, Amanda Bynes has made her way into the headlines again. Bynes has always been a bit crazy, but back in the day the crazy was in the form of a 13-year-old who occasionally attempted to shove 275 marshmallows in her mouth (impressive). I’ve decided to revisit some of Amanda’s best characters, something I think all “90s kids” will appreciate.
5. Amber in The Girls Room
A.K.A. Ms. Popular and the girl we loved to hate. Although, we're still a little unsure if Amber was actually popular or just liked to believe so in her head. Either way, props for the confidence!
4. Moody in Moody’s Point
There was just something about Moody and that teen angst that we could all relate to so well. I mean, her mom floated away in a hot air balloon and her dad lost his toe... who wouldn't be emotional? Ugh, life.
3. Judge Trudy
A sassy little lady with no patience for adults, especially those who note her young age. Who wouldn't love a judge that let kids get away with anything and sent parents away in rocket ships after giving out detention? And you can't forget the dancing lobsters!
2. Crazy Courtney
With all her crazy pranks, this character was definitely a personal favorite. I'm sure my mom grew annoyed with my attempts to impersonate the signature Crazy Courtney noise (sorry, Mom).
1. Penelope Taynt
As Amanda's self-proclaimed number one fan, there was no doubt that Penelope would come in at the top of this list. While she was sometimes rude and definitely mischievous, there's no doubt that this character was dedicated. After many failed attempts, she still kept pushing on in hopes of meeting Amanda. It's safe to say Penelope taught us a thing or two about persistence. Thank you, please!
And as for present-day Amanda: stick in there, girl!
