"All That": Worst Recurring Skit of All-Time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 04-04-2005, 03:38 PM

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.

I agree with most of them. Though not only is Randy Quench is a ripoff of Repair Man because he breaks things. But the way he talks is a ripoff of Detective Dan.

It is hard for me to choice. But one other thing that makes Cooking With Randy And Mandy better than Suger And Coffee, is that a lot of the times they put chocolate on food that traditional does not mix well with it. And actully ate it. I don't know how that makes them better, but still Kenan and Angelique showed me a lot being able to do that.

I agree, I like the Cooking sketch with both Randy and Mandy better, than the later ones with just Kenan. Though the one sketch with Chris Farley was an all time classic.

Sugar & Coffee

It bored and irritated me at the same time.

Sugar and Coffee.

gilligan fanatic · 04-26-2005, 07:14 PM

I will leave it at all past 2000

EmoJoe · 04-26-2005, 07:44 PM

Sugar and Coffee

Ask Ashley shouldnt even be on the list, that was one of the best IMO

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 04-26-2005, 10:55 PM

Trashin' Fashion. None of them are really good anymore, but I can't ****ing stand hearing them talk. It's not funny.

tvje · 05-03-2005, 11:37 PM

Here is one you forgot to add to the list.

Bucket Man - A so called superhero that was suppose to be the new cast's answer to Superdude. This character played by Shane Lyons (who was suppose to be the new Kenan, now the new guy Denzel is suppose to be) is a superhero that superpowers exept he has a bucket on his head. He does not catch criminals, instead he accidently injuries incident people.

This character could not carry Superdude's cape. Now that is a real superhero even if he is lastoast intolerent.

WHAT show are these from???

Courtnee · 07-11-2005, 12:36 PM

It's all stupid and bad.

Superstar · 07-11-2005, 03:12 PM

The whole show is the worst recurring skit.I never liked the show, but it was tolerable when the likes of Amanda and Kenan and Kel were on it. But since Amanda left, the show has gotten unbearable to watch.

JT · 07-23-2005, 06:35 PM

Basically everything since around 2001.

But mostly "Sugar and Coffee" which serves no purpose whatsoever and makes absolutely no sense at all.

Joeylova87 · 08-19-2005, 02:55 AM

Ask Ashley - It got pretty annoying when Amanda Bynes kept saying "That's me!"

Sugar and Coffee is pretty bad too. It's like watching kids getting high on that stuff!
