15 Things We Learned From The Amanda Show
Wikia

The Amanda Show is arguably the most underrated Nickelodeon show to ever exist. Before the big breakdown, before She's The Man, and even before Big Fat Liar, there was The Amanda Show. The glorious, glorious Amanda Show. Filled with ridiculous characters and generally cheesy humor, it was probably the stupidest and greatest show of all time. It was like Saturday Night Live or The Carol Burnett Show, but for the youth of America. Despite all of its randomness, like every other kids show in the early 2000s, it was highly educational.

1. How to properly tell a joke.

Humor is a valuable trait. If people don't get it, you might as well hit them across the face with it.

2. How to apply the right amount of teenage sadness on your face.


3. The dictionary definition of popularity:

4. In the same breath, how to be brutally honest with both yourself, and other people.

Being upfront and honest is always the best policy when weeding out all the weak and finding a friend that can actually handle you.

5. That Blockblister is much better than any old Blockbuster

Much, much better.

6. That you too can have a Popper Pants.

You can even add butter.

7. Debbie likes eggs.

*Pats Debbie on the head* Oh, Debbie.

8. The proper way to fangirl...

...and just how annoying the word "please' can be.

9. ...and the improper way of getting rid of a spider.

Totally Kyle always made sense simply because it was Drake Bell saying it all. #originalbae

10. That Moody always has a point.

Even when her dad is missing his big toe.

11. How to be sassy with authority.

12. Like Moody, Judge Trudy always has a point.

Just think: What would Judge Trudy do? (WWJTD)

13. How to face all the haters.

14. How to use the weak (and the gullible) to your advantage.

This might not be the most positive of lessons, but, when wielded with caution, it can be the most beneficial.

15. And last but certainly not least, that lobsters can dance.


Thank you, Amanda.

Thank you, Nickelodeon.

Thank you, dancing lobsters.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
