Amanda Bynes used to be a name that inspired delight in all the fans who heard it. She was best known as an immense comedic talent, with a handle on physical comedy and an impeccable sense of timing. If there was every any kid that could hold her own among the giants on Saturday Night Live, it would've been Bynes. She was that good. She was that funny.
Nowadays, however, Bynes reputation has tanked. Plagued by alleged mental illness, the 27-year-old actress has become a tabloid staple. Sad to say, she's become the laughing stock rather than the source of laughter.
But we're confident she can get her groove back. If you take a look at her filmography, you'll see she's got it in her to make a comeback. All she needs to do is tap into the mentality that produced her best work. And which one was it? You'll see. Here's a ranking of all of Amanda Bynes' on-screen performances.

10. Holly Tyler in What I Like About You (2002-2006)
What I Like About You was a vehicle for Bynes to break away from her kid persona and enter the coveted "teen" stage of her career. The sitcom itself is pretty painful, complete with contrived plots and situations that viewers can dismantle in a minute, making the main characters look like they'd have trouble finding their way out if your threw a blanket over their heads. That said, Bynes really found her comedic voice on the show. Seriously, if you catch this in syndication her voice moves from one octave to the next as each frantic line gets higher and higher. Bynes also perfected her pratfall and camera mugging, all in the name of sisterly love and laugh tracks.
