Sugar & Coffee - Only because it's a very poor reworking of the "Randy & Mandy" chocolate skit. The "Randy & Mandy" sketch itself became kind of irrelevant after Angelique Bates left the show.
Ask Ashley - It only started to wear thin when it seemed like it was done every week and the audience started to really get in on the jokes. Apparently, I'm told that the reason "Ask Ashley" started getting bad was when they started using it as a "Vital Information"-style filler sketch, forcing Amanda to speed through the lines, and thus killing the timing required for the comedy.
Good Burger - I'm talking about the the shameless attempt by the producers at bringing the sketch back with Ryan Coleman trying to mimick Kel Mitchell. Bringing back one of the most famous skits in "All That" history, but thinking that they can get away with it (since most of AT's current fanbase were either too young or weren't yet born when the original skits were being produced) without expecting any backlash just proves how desperate they are for ideas right now.
American Idiot - At this point it became obvious that the writers were running out of ideas (hence, them making fun of something in vogue at the time like "American Idol").
TR-Yell- A parody of a show (MTV's "Total Request Live") that itself, seems way too obvious of a target (especially considering how "SNL" & "Mad TV" already made fun of it dozens of times).
Randy Quench - A poor man's version of Jim Carrey's "Fire Marshal Bill" sketch from "In Living Color." Although from an "All That" point of view, Randy Quench to me, is the new cast's equivalent to Kel Mitchell's funnier Repairman character.
Trashin' Fashion - A poor man's version of the old "Whatever" sketch.
The Tilt-O-Hurl - I'm willing to bet that the early years of "All That" would've never come close to resorting to cheap gross-out humor. A lot of the humor of AT originally was a lot more absurd and inspired (including stuff that most of the kids probably wouldn't get like Katrina Johnson as Ross Perot).
The Rougenecks - Amanda Bynes already did a similar recurring skit (i.e. stereotypical inbred rednecks) on her sketch show for Nickelodeon.
Chit Chat - The idea of the main character senselessly inflicting cruelty on those around them was better executed on the old "Leon & Fuzz" sketch.
