[[{{Spinoff}} Led to (chronologically)]]: ''KaBlam'', ''KenanAndKel'', ''TheAmandaShow'', ''The Nick Cannon Show'', ''{{Zoey 101}}'', and ''JustJordan''. And further down the family tree came ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' and eventually ''Series/{{iCarly}}'', ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' and ''SamAndCat.''
The90sAreAllThat block on TeenNick is named for it, and the show itself serves as the headliner. The main network is now rerunning it as part of NickAtNite.
----
!!This show contains examples of:
* ActorAllusion: At the start of one episode, the cast takes questions from the audience. DanSchneider appears and is referred to as "the guy from that old show ''HeadOfTheClass''."
** When Mark Curry drops in for one episode, the cast give ''HanginWithMrCooper'' a ShoutOut.
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted in Good Burger, played straight in everything else on the show.
* AffectionateParody: "What Do You Do?" Parody of fellow-Nick show ''FigureItOut'', on which most of the ''All That'' cast appeared at least once... Bynes, Denberg, & Tamberelli were even regular panelists. The name itself sounds like an older Nickelodeon game show, "What Would You Do?"
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Baggin' Saggin' Barry experience this when meeting his rival and later-girlfriend Baggin' Saggin' Mary. Old man Clavis even pointed this out while giving Barry some encouragement.
* AxCrazy: Quite a few of the characters.
** Repairman...man...man... who doesn't really care about property damage and is actively a danger to pretty much everything.
** Mark Saul's most common character - an AxCrazy kid named Stuart who ties up people and [takes over their jobs with [[BunnyEarsLawyer insane gusto.]] It started with him as a nutso hall monitor and just grew more psychotic from there.
* BagOfHolding: Baggin' Saggin' Barry had a baggy pair of pants that functioned like this. He had ''everything'' in his pants which could possibly fit, and several that couldn't (e.g., an airplane when he kept tripping the airport metal detector until the plane left without him.) In the last sketch featuring him, he found a rival, Baggin' Saggin' Mary, who had the same gimmick, and became his LoveInterest. Surprisingly, there was rarely any RummageFail situation with either.
* BatDeduction / InsaneTrollLogic: Anything involving Detective Dan, if he even decides to go that far before arresting people.
* BerserkButton: Disrespecting, derogating, or deriding peas in front of Ms. Piddlin.
** Don't ask Ashley a stupid question, and DO NOT ask her why she is so mean to everyone.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: "Ask Ashley!"
** The lemonade stand girls (first Katrina, and then Amanda).
* BlessedWithSuck: Boring Man, Bucket Man, LAMOS
* BorrowedCatchphrase: As the show went on, more and more characters and cast members started borrowing Ask Ashley's "Thaaaaat's me!" including Coach Kreeton and Danny.
* BreakoutCharacter: Cast-wise, Kenan, Kel, and Amanda were the breakouts of the cast. They eventually got their [[KenanAndKel own]] [[TheAmandaShow spinoffs.]]
* BrickJoke: Several sketches had their own BrickJoke, but in a ColdOpen for Season 4, [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext Elvis and professional wrestlers ended up coming into the Green Roon and attacking the big ear of corn because the scarecrow that was keeping them away was blown up]]. One of the skits near the end of the episode had recurring teacher Ms. Fingerly unwittingly attract Elvis and professional wrestlers into her class room, leading her to be attacked as well.
* BurgerFool: Ed, of Good Burger. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in that he ''loves'' his job.
* ButtMonkey: Stage Manager Kevin, Danny Tamberelli (when playing himself), Coach Kreeton.
** Just about anyone can be this depending on their role, but the above three especially fall into this trope. A lot of Josh Server's characters do as well.
*** Christy Knowings acknowledged in an recent interview that Josh and Danny were the cast members whose characters were tortured on a regular basis.
** Don't forget Fuzz of Have a Nice Day with Leroy and Fuzz.
* TheCameo: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Chris Farley]] making a few cameos in one episode.
* TheCastShowoff
** ''Played straight:'' In seasons 1-5, Kel Mitchell, repeatedly. In the 10th-anniversary special, Chelsea Brummet, Lisa Foiles, & Kianna Underwood, all at once.
** ''Subverted:'' Every time Lori Beth Denberg or one of her characters sang.
*** Or really anybody ''except'' the straight examples listed.
* CatchPhrase: Like the number of stars in the sky.
** If there is only one thing originating in this show that will endure in our popular culture for decades to come, it is: "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, [[strike:may]] can I take your order?"
** If not that one then this one: "Five minutes! Five minutes! The show starts in five minutes!"
** "You're hurtin' me in ways I can't understand!"
** "'''''REPAIR MAN''' MAN Man man man....''"
*** "'''''REPAIR BOY''' BOY Boy boy boy....''"
** "Dear Ashley," That's '''''ME!'''''
** "Jupiter!"
** "I'm Detective Dan."
* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Ishboo's "foreign land" has some ''seriously'' bizarre traditions.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s: Half of the recurring characters as well as the cast itself
-->Why are you throwing sponges at a wall?
-->Because I ran out of pork chops.
* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: The90sAreAllThat airs this show without the musical guest performances. Since this necessitates the additional removal of sketches leading into the performances, and the cast saying goodbye after the song, several episodes end abruptly.
* CompanionCube: The Big Ear of Corn predates the Cube by at least a decade.
* CousinOliver: Kianna Underwood, Denzel Whitaker, & Lil' JJ, all new cast members for the final season of the show.
* CrazyCulturalComparison: The Ishboo sketches.
* {{Crossover}}: Sometimes characters from certain sketches make appearances in sketches that otherwise have nothing to do with them (examples include Superdude saving Good Burger from a robber, Jack Campbell showing up on Cooking With Randy and eating all the chocolate and Stuart kidnapping Ask Ashley so he can take over her show).
** Taken to it's extreme during the 10th anniversary special in which Coach Kreeton, Abby Rhodes, Principal William '''[[InsistentTerminology Baines]]''' Pimpell, Jack Campbell, Detective Dan, Buzz, Caffy, and Randy Quench end up in the same skit. As Principal Pimpell puts it toward the end...
-->'''Pimpell:''' [[LampshadeHanging This sketch is clearly out of control!]]
** In the Season 7 episode where Amanda Bynes guest stars, Penelope Taynt, her number one fan please from TheAmandaShow breaks into the All That set to meet her.
*** Also, in another episode, Totally Kyle [[ActorAllusion introduces Drake Bell]] as the musical guest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ms. Fingerly is a teacher who makes too many [[PungeonMaster bad puns]] and sings songs clearly meant for preschoolers. She is also capable of matching Ishboo's father at Hookey-Doo (A type of duel from the Foreign Land), out-rocking a popular punk band, and teaching a class with an arrow in her gut.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "I'm Detective Dan." Often inserted randomly in sentences despite him having introduced himself already.
* DescendedCreator: In the first six seasons, writer/producer Kevin Kopelow played the show's abused stage manager in the openings. Writer/producer DanSchneider played the exasperated manager of Good Burger.
* DestinationDefenestration: A favorite gag across the entire run of the show. Be it hapless people being thrown out of windows, accident prone fools falling out of windows, or most often particularly off-kilter characters throwing themselves out of windows, the writers seemed to think that flying out of a window among the funniest ways you could write a character out of a scene. This occasionally carried over to KenanAndKel and TheAmandaShow as well.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Cheese Police skits are pretty much drug busts with the drugs replaced with cheese.
** The translations for the various ''French'' phrases of Pierre Escargot may come off this way. For example:
--->May I jump up and down on your sausages?
* DontExplainTheJoke: One Boring Man sketch used this trope:
-->Hypnopants: (After revealing his Hypnobot) Thats right, Boring Man. Stare into my bot. Get it? Because that's a robot and bot is short for "robot" and normally, I would say, "stare into..."
-->Boring Man: You know what, yes, I get it, I get it, I get it. Bot, butt, yes, yes. Who's the Boring Man around here?
* DoomItYourself: Repair Man-man-man-man-man's modus operandi.
** He certainly wasn't dispelling any comparisons to [[InLivingColor certain other sketch comedy shows]] of the time.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: One of the Baby Chat sketches did this so Chester could trick Lulu into expressing disapproval of public funding of private schools.
* EdutainmentShow: Completely subverted: "[[GratuitousFrench Everyday French]]," "Vital Information," "Don't Do This @ Home/School," "Peter & Flem," "Leroy & Fuzz," and '''''every''''' classroom sketch.
*** Although "Everyday French" was peppered with real french words.
** And to an extent, "Cooking with Randy & Mandy".
** To be fair, every kid knew what "lactose intolerant" meant after every Super Dude sketch... thanks to [[TheAmandaShow Amanda Bynes]] (and before her, Katrina Johnson).
** I bet a lot more kids knew who Ross Perot was after seeing the Earboy sketches.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The gist of the lyrics is "sit down and watch this show, because we are here to entertain you".
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Well, what do you expect when entering a game show called "You Can't Win"?
* TheFatGuy: Kenan played these type of people a fair amount of the time.
* FunnyForeigner: Ishboo; Pierre Escargot
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Although most of the translations for Pierre Escargot were pretty innocent sounding, quite a number of them could seem a bit dirtier.
** There was one USS Spaceship sketch where after Officer Ulcer failed to get the ship running, he says, "Piece o crap". So, they literally got crap past the radar.
** One Baggin', Saggin' Barry skit includes this piece of wisdom.
--->"You gotta reach down deep in your pants and pull out things you never knew you had."
** The background posters during Vital Information were actually quite dirty (I.e. "To Milk cow: Kiss cow, grab udder, yank.")
** One early sketch had Alisa having a sneezing fit. Kel asks what's wrong, and it turns out Alisa is allergic to wool. They think it might be Kel's socks, so he takes them off and tosses them off. Alisa's still sneezing though- so they think it might be Kel's shirt. No good- maybe Kel's ''pants''. At this point, Kel's in his boxers and Alisa's ''still'' sneezing. Turns out a Little Bo Peep-like lady brought her sheep to the taping.
** Amanda asks for a flashlight. Josh Server says "Oh, I have one in my pocket." Later in the same skit, Amanda Bynes stands over Danny Tamborelli in a suggestive manner, before ripping out his still beating heart. She is then nearly groped by one of the other guys, as she tries to pull out Danny's Tonsils.
** A customer asks Ed "Change for a dollar?" and he replies "Okay" and starts performing a striptease.
** In one sketch, Coach Kreeton calls his son a "misfired chromosome".
* GRatedDrug: '''''SUGAR AND COFFEE!!'''''. Naturally overlaps with KlatchianCoffee and MustHaveCaffeine.
* GrumpyOldMan: Bernie Kibbitz
* HairTriggerTemper: Ashley in "Ask Ashley." To be fair, everyone that writes in really are TooDumbToLive.
* HeroicWannabe: sort of, with Repairmanmanman and Randy Quench
** And Detective Dan, though he was a registered police officer.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Mavis & Clavis
** Kenan and Kel were more real life examples. Their chemistry in the show led to producers greenlighting a [[KenanAndKel spinoff]].
* HypocriticalHumor: Ms. Hushbaum, the "[[NoIndoorVoice Loud]] Librarian".
** There was one sketch from Season 9 involving the Rougenecks that used this trope
--> Buford: One time, a tick bit me in my butt.
--> Betty Jo: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Quit! Bragging! Moron!]]
--> Buford: Oh, Pa, Betty Jo done called me a moron.
--> Clem: Betty Jo, don't call your brother a moron.
--> Buford: You tell her, Pa.
--> Clem: Shut up, moron.
* {{Infomercial}}: parodied in the Toby Braun products
* InherentlyFunnyWords: {{Lampshaded}} in a sketch celebrating the show's millionth use of "cheese" (& 30 seconds after that ceremony ended, the millionth use of "pants")
* InsistentTerminology: Lester Oaks, Construction Worker insists on being called by both his name and his occupation.
-->'''Ed:''' Goodbye, Lester Oaks.\\
'''Lester Oaks, Construction Worker:''' ''Construction Worker!''
* InteractiveNarrator: "Know Your Stars" (also an UnreliableNarrator), and one particular "Ask Ashley"
* {{Jerkass}}: Coach Kreeton.
* KarmaHoudini: Leroy of Have a Nice Day with Leroy and Fuzz.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Likely due to the musical acts. Even more frustrating is the fact that its SpinOff, TheAmandaShow has at least 3 DVD releases.
** It's even more apparent when the Nick & Nite reruns have cut out the musical acts from the opening title and the end of the show.
* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Parodied with Superdude. He's [[WeaksauceWeakness lactose-intolerant]], so ''of course'' every single villain he fights is based on a dairy product.
* LargeHam: So, so, many.
** REPAIRMAN-MAN-MAN-MAN-MAN-MAN-MAN!!!
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The final episode contains a lot of references to the show's eventual cancellation.
* MarshmallowHell: Ms. Piddlin (Kenan) had a tendency to do this to Julio (Josh) and the students.
* MeaningfulName: Principal Pimpell, Miss Hushbaum, Jerry Futile...
** To say nothing of Ear Boy, Pizza Face, and Four-Eyes.
* MiddleSchool: Dullmont Junior High
* TheMovie: ''Good Burger''
* MrFanservice: Kel.
** And Josh. Lampshaded [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epically]] when a fan asked if [[ShirtlessScene he could give her his shirt]]. ''He complied''. Cue massive {{Squee}} from the audience.
*** Not to mention nearly every Detective Dan sketch had him stripped down to his boxers.
* MsFanservice: Alisa.
* {{Muppet}}: Fuzz, Dead Spice, Oswald, Cheeseburger Doyle
* {{Nepotism}}: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] and [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] when Jamie Spears enters the cast: Shane accuses her of having no talent, but she is able to shrink him down to the size of an avocado just by thinking, as well as styling Lisa's hair by breathing on it. When her powers fail to impress the cast, however, she simply bribes them with $5000 each.
* NewsParody: "Vital Information," "Channel 6 1/2 News"
* NoIndoorVoice: Ms. Hushbaum, taken UpToEleven
-->''"CAN'T YOU READ! THIS IS A LIBRARY!"''
** In the later years, '''SUGAR AND COFFEE!!''' ''So much shouting.''
* NostalgiaFilter: While remembered fondly by people who grew up in the 90s...during rewatching...''you could see a lot of the jokes are either'' DudeNotFunny, UnfortunateImplications, or just...they don't work.
* NotSoDifferent: Ed and the Complaint Dept lady.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Somewhat implied with Ishboo in the early episodes. Whenever he gets someone to do some of the more ridiculous customs, he will look at the camera and give the audience a "JustAsPlanned" smile.
* OneOfUs: Lisa Foiles, believe it or not, recently started [[http://www.loadsavepoint.com/ her own game review site]] and was a guest columnist on Kotaku. She's also a part of the new ''[[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe Show]]''.
* TheOtherDarrin: A season 9 "Good Burger" sketch cast the new (& tiny) performer Ryan Coleman as Ed. The fans did not react well.
** Possibly lampshaded in the 10th anniversary reunion. Kel reprises Ed, who (among other things) inadvertently and horribly injures a co-worker. Said co-worker is played by Coleman.
** Also, in the Superdude sketches, Penny Lane was originally played by Angelique Bates. However, after she left the show, Alisa Reyes filled in the role. Also counts as a RaceLift, as Bates was black, and Reyes was latino. Later African-American cast member Christy Knowings played Penny Lane.
** Also in the Superdude sketches, Katrina Johnson played the little MsExposition and Amanda Bynes took this role after she left.
* PoliceAreUseless: Detective Dan, Jack Campbell, "Cheese Police"
* PottyEmergency: One Good Burger sketch did this joke.
* PsychoForHire: "Repairman-man-man-man-man-man!"
* ReunionShow: Two of them, both still during the show's run:
** During season 5, the "100th episode" was a live broadcast with Lori Beth Denberg reprising Vital Information one last time, plus interviews with ex-cast Angelique Bates, Alisa Reyes, & Katrina Johnson.
** Just before season 10. Server, Thompson, Mitchell, & Tamberelli performed with the current cast. Cannon made a videophone cameo, & several other ex-cast appeared in backstage party segments.
* RightWayWrongWayPair: The “Life With Peter & Flem” sketches.
* RuleOfCool: The Big Ear of Corn, as {{Lampshaded}} in an intro sketch.
* RuleOfFunny: The green room sketches have this a lot. An example from Season 4 is the scarecrow:
--> '''Kenan:''' Aw, man. That scarecrow wasn't supposed to protect the Big Ear of Corn from ''crows'', it was supposed to protect the Big Ear of Corn from ''Elvis and professional wrestlers''!
--> '''Lori Beth:''' Elvis and professional wrestlers?
--> '''Everyone except Kenan:''' ''Huh?''
--> ''(An Elvis impersonator and two professional wrestlers storm into the room and steal the Big Ear of Corn)''
** And an example from Season 10, Truth or Bear?:
--> '''Christina:''' Kianna. Do you have... a hamster in your pocket?
--> '''Kianna:''' Hah, no.
--> '''Christina:''' You have to tell the truth.
--> '''Kianna:''' Ok... ''(fishes a hamster out of her pocket)''
--> ...
--> '''Kyle:''' I'll take dare.
--> '''Kianna:''' Sorry Kyle, we're not playing Truth or Dare.
--> '''Christina:''' Yeah, we're playing Truth or ''Bear''.
--> '''Kyle:''' Ok... then I guess I'll take bear!
--> ''(he gets mauled by a bear)''
* RuleOfThree: TONS of examples.
** The [[OprahWinfrey Okrah]] sketches usually had three guests per sketch.
** The Good Burger sketches had three customers per sketch.
** Repair Man (MAN MAN MAN) usually tried to repair three things.
** Lori Beth/Danny usually gave three pieces of Vital Information.
** Ashley would usually answer three questions.
** Pierre Escargot would give three French phrases.
** "Life with Peter and Flem" gave three contrasting examples of what Peter and Flem would do.
** In the "Complaint Department" sketches, three customers would complain about what they bought.
** "Know Your Stars" gave three "facts" about the star.
** "Vocabulary With Lisa and Oswald" from the later seasons had three vocabulary words.
* SadistShow: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTIn appropriately]] named game show "You Can't Win!" (which actually was the title of a game show parody done on ''Saturday Night Live'' during the 1979-1980 season [season five])
** Another game show had the loser ([[ButtMonkey Danny]]) punished in various ways, such as being covered in honey and "tickled" by a bear, or being ''strapped to a rocket and shot into space''.
** The Channel 6 1/2 News sketches tended to see Josh Server playing an on-location reporter being consistently abused by whatever surroundings he happened to be in. (For example, nearly freezing to death in the North Pole and being attacked by [[EverythingsWorseWithBears a polar bear]].)
* ScaryLibrarian: Well, not really scary. Just really loud enough to startle everyone.
* SeriousBusiness: Peas for Miss Piddlin.
* SeverelySpecializedStore: A variation appears in a skit with a retail store that sells only a single pair of pants.
* ShoutOut: In addition to the countless pop culture references: Amanda Bynes' father is a dentist; at least 2 green room sketches featured Amanda performing oral surgery, plus 1 "Ask Ashley" has her screaming at the audience to brush their teeth, & a one-off sketch features Josh Server as a crazy dentist called "Dr. Bynes."
** One sketch featured Ishboo going to the doctor's. When taking a look in his ears, the doctor briefly saw none other than RenAndStimpy.
*** A later sketch shows doctor checking Ishboo's nostrils and again seeing the cartoon duo.
** One Coach Kreeton sketch was filmed on [[RecycledSet a set for]] ''GullahGullahIsland''. Coach Kreeton acknowledges this after several failed attempts to rescue a cat from a tree.
--->"Crazy Gullah Gullah tree!"
* SpecialGuest: Only season 7 had them weekly (including return episodes with Bynes & Thompson). In the other 9 seasons, though, Chris Farley, Sinbad, Sherman Hemsley, Dr. Joyce Brothers, & post-Amanda Show Drake Bell all appeared, amongst numerous others. And every single episode had a musical guest.
* {{Spinoff}}: Though several shows (listed above) exist because of ''All That'', the only '''true''' spinoffs are ''Kablam!'' (via ActionLeagueNOW) & ''The Nick Cannon Show'' (via the [=LaTanya=] character).
** TheAmandaShow is also a spinoff of ''All That'', due to the combined facts that it was created by DanSchneider (who produced ''All That''), stared Amanda Bynes, and had frequent {{crossover}}s with ''All That'' when both shows were on the air.
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Series/SoRandom''
* SpotTheImposter: Stuart
** Parodied in one Superdude sketch, where a tiny white girl attempted to impersonate him and demonstrated her super-strength by ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome tearing a piece of paper]]'' in two.
* StuntCasting: Danny Tamberelli was already a Nickelodeon icon (mostly from TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete) before joining All That in its 4th season. Also, in season 8, Jamie Spears was added; solely due to sister's fame. Although Danny actually deserved to be on the show.
* {{Superman}}: Superdude, complete with ClarkKenting form "Mark Cant" (and even ParentalBonus girlfriend "Penny Lane")
** Speaking of ParentalBonus - Penny Lane, Abby Rhodes, "Heeeere's Johnny!" after Superdude chops a hole through a door,....Nickelodeon has always been chock full of this trope.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Island Girls" for the GilligansIsland theme.
** The sketch when Kel fell in love with a goat featured a rather cheap version of "Close to You".
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In every Stuart sketch when Stuart was confronted by law enforcement, he would deny kidnapping the real employee, tying them up and hiding them somewhere.
--->'''Police Officer:''' (after all the customers complain about the crazy things he did) Is all of this true?
---> '''Stuart:''' Of course not. I wouldn't dream of kidnapping the real checkout guy, tying him up, stealing his uniform, and hiding him underneath that counter.
* TakeThat; After a caller continuously tries to get the cast to fall for the "Is your refrigerator running?" prank, Kyle angrily tells him to "try your dumb prank on some DisneyChannel show 'cause we're too smart to fall for it!"
* ThatsAllFolks
* ThoseTwoGuys: The two old guys Mavis and Clavis.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate (Randy & Mandy), Peas (Miss Piddlin), Sugar & Coffee (Buzz & Caffy), Bacon (Thelma Stump), Everything (Fat Cop), Good Burger (Ed), Pork on a stick (Earboy), Pizza (Ross Perot)
* UselessSpleen: Averted in sketch where a character shows and tells about his friend's recently removed spleen. He ends his presentation with something along the lines of "Humans are incapable of surviving without their spleen," at which point his friend [[OhCrap gets worried]] and then collapses.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Superdude is lactose-intolerant. Naturally, his foes include Cow-Boy, Butter Boy, Yo-Girl, the Dairy Godfather, & ArchEnemy Milkman (the former 3 all played by Kel Mitchell & the latter 2 both being Josh Server).
* WordSaladHumor: In "Everyday French with Pierre Escargot," most of the "educational" French phrases are word salads, such as "Please remove your banjo from my belly button."
* YankTheDogsChain: Josh and Kenan tried to help Kevin pull a prank on the girls for once, only for it to backfire when the girls attack him while he was hiding in the giant object he was supposed pop out of.
* YouLookFamiliar: Superdude's equivalent of "It's a bird! It's a plane!" features variations like "It's Ishboo! It's Miss Piddlin! It's Pierre Escargot!" and once, even "It's Kenan!"

{{Nickelodeon}}'s third ensemble [[SketchComedy skitcom]] (following ''[[YouCantDoThatOnTelevision You Can't Do That On Television]]'' and ''{{Roundhouse}}''), bearing a strong resemblance to the format of ''SaturdayNightLive'' or ''MadTV'' (like its predecessors did to ''[[{{Rowan And Martins Laugh-In}} Laugh-In]]'' and ''InLivingColor'', respectively). Created by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin and produced by DanSchneider. Ran from April, 1994 to October, 2005. A little more than a decade, complete with a full cast exodus about halfway through, followed by four seasons, again like ''SNL''... but without an Eddie Murphy to keep things afloat until Lorne came back, which in this case "he" (Mike Tollin & Brian Robbins) never did.
Launched the careers of: Amanda Bynes, Kenan Thompson (who actually managed to make the cast of ''SaturdayNightLive'' in the mid-2000's), Kel Mitchell, Nick Cannon, & Jamie Lynn Spears. Also launched Dan Schneider into being a major behind-the-scenes headliner for Nickelodeon and arguably, the wave of [[DuelingShows dueling]] tween/teen [[{{KidCom}} KidComs]] on both Nickelodeon and DisneyChannel.
[[{{Spinoff}} Led to (chronologically)]]: ''KaBlam'', ''KenanAndKel'', ''TheAmandaShow'', ''The Nick Cannon Show'', ''{{Zoey 101}}'', and ''JustJordan''. And further down the family tree came ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' and eventually ''Series/{{iCarly}}'', ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' and ''SamAndCat.''
The90sAreAllThat block on TeenNick is named for it, and the show itself serves as the headliner. The main network is now rerunning it as part of NickAtNite.
----
!!This show contains examples of:
* ActorAllusion: At the start of one episode, the cast takes questions from the audience. DanSchneider appears and is referred to as "the guy from that old show ''HeadOfTheClass''."
** When Mark Curry drops in for one episode, the cast give ''HanginWithMrCooper'' a ShoutOut.
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted in Good Burger, played straight in everything else on the show.
* AffectionateParody: "What Do You Do?" Parody of fellow-Nick show ''FigureItOut'', on which most of the ''All That'' cast appeared at least once... Bynes, Denberg, & Tamberelli were even regular panelists. The name itself sounds like an older Nickelodeon game show, "What Would You Do?"
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Baggin' Saggin' Barry experience this when meeting his rival and later-girlfriend Baggin' Saggin' Mary. Old man Clavis even pointed this out while giving Barry some encouragement.
* AxCrazy: Quite a few of the characters.
** Repairman...man...man... who doesn't really care about property damage and is actively a danger to pretty much everything.
** Mark Saul's most common character - an AxCrazy kid named Stuart who ties up people and [takes over their jobs with [[BunnyEarsLawyer insane gusto.]] It started with him as a nutso hall monitor and just grew more psychotic from there.
* BagOfHolding: Baggin' Saggin' Barry had a baggy pair of pants that functioned like this. He had ''everything'' in his pants which could possibly fit, and several that couldn't (e.g., an airplane when he kept tripping the airport metal detector until the plane left without him.) In the last sketch featuring him, he found a rival, Baggin' Saggin' Mary, who had the same gimmick, and became his LoveInterest. Surprisingly, there was rarely any RummageFail situation with either.
* BatDeduction / InsaneTrollLogic: Anything involving Detective Dan, if he even decides to go that far before arresting people.
* BerserkButton: Disrespecting, derogating, or deriding peas in front of Ms. Piddlin.
** Don't ask Ashley a stupid question, and DO NOT ask her why she is so mean to everyone.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: "Ask Ashley!"
** The lemonade stand girls (first Katrina, and then Amanda).
* BlessedWithSuck: Boring Man, Bucket Man, LAMOS
* BorrowedCatchphrase: As the show went on, more and more characters and cast members started borrowing Ask Ashley's "Thaaaaat's me!" including Coach Kreeton and Danny.
* BreakoutCharacter: Cast-wise, Kenan, Kel, and Amanda were the breakouts of the cast. They eventually got their [[KenanAndKel own]] [[TheAmandaShow spinoffs.]]
* BrickJoke: Several sketches had their own BrickJoke, but in a ColdOpen for Season 4, [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext Elvis and professional wrestlers ended up coming into the Green Roon and attacking the big ear of corn because the scarecrow that was keeping them away was blown up]]. One of the skits near the end of the episode had recurring teacher Ms. Fingerly unwittingly attract Elvis and professional wrestlers into her class room, leading her to be attacked as well.
* BurgerFool: Ed, of Good Burger. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in that he ''loves'' his job.
* ButtMonkey: Stage Manager Kevin, Danny Tamberelli (when playing himself), Coach Kreeton.
** Just about anyone can be this depending on their role, but the above three especially fall into this trope. A lot of Josh Server's characters do as well.
*** Christy Knowings acknowledged in an recent interview that Josh and Danny were the cast members whose characters were tortured on a regular basis.
** Don't forget Fuzz of Have a Nice Day with Leroy and Fuzz.
* TheCameo: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Chris Farley]] making a few cameos in one episode.
* TheCastShowoff
** ''Played straight:'' In seasons 1-5, Kel Mitchell, repeatedly. In the 10th-anniversary special, Chelsea Brummet, Lisa Foiles, & Kianna Underwood, all at once.
** ''Subverted:'' Every time Lori Beth Denberg or one of her characters sang.
*** Or really anybody ''except'' the straight examples listed.
* CatchPhrase: Like the number of stars in the sky.
** If there is only one thing originating in this show that will endure in our popular culture for decades to come, it is: "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, [[strike:may]] can I take your order?"
** If not that one then this one: "Five minutes! Five minutes! The show starts in five minutes!"
** "You're hurtin' me in ways I can't understand!"
** "'''''REPAIR MAN''' MAN Man man man....''"
*** "'''''REPAIR BOY''' BOY Boy boy boy....''"
** "Dear Ashley," That's '''''ME!'''''
** "Jupiter!"
** "I'm Detective Dan."
* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Ishboo's "foreign land" has some ''seriously'' bizarre traditions.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s: Half of the recurring characters as well as the cast itself
-->Why are you throwing sponges at a wall?
-->Because I ran out of pork chops.
* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: The90sAreAllThat airs this show without the musical guest performances. Since this necessitates the additional removal of sketches leading into the performances, and the cast saying goodbye after the song, several episodes end abruptly.
* CompanionCube: The Big Ear of Corn predates the Cube by at least a decade.
* CousinOliver: Kianna Underwood, Denzel Whitaker, & Lil' JJ, all new cast members for the final season of the show.
* CrazyCulturalComparison: The Ishboo sketches.
* {{Crossover}}: Sometimes characters from certain sketches make appearances in sketches that otherwise have nothing to do with them (examples include Superdude saving Good Burger from a robber, Jack Campbell showing up on Cooking With Randy and eating all the chocolate and Stuart kidnapping Ask Ashley so he can take over her show).
** Taken to it's extreme during the 10th anniversary special in which Coach Kreeton, Abby Rhodes, Principal William '''[[InsistentTerminology Baines]]''' Pimpell, Jack Campbell, Detective Dan, Buzz, Caffy, and Randy Quench end up in the same skit. As Principal Pimpell puts it toward the end...
-->'''Pimpell:''' [[LampshadeHanging This sketch is clearly out of control!]]
** In the Season 7 episode where Amanda Bynes guest stars, Penelope Taynt, her number one fan please from TheAmandaShow breaks into the All That set to meet her.
*** Also, in another episode, Totally Kyle [[ActorAllusion introduces Drake Bell]] as the musical guest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ms. Fingerly is a teacher who makes too many [[PungeonMaster bad puns]] and sings songs clearly meant for preschoolers. She is also capable of matching Ishboo's father at Hookey-Doo (A type of duel from the Foreign Land), out-rocking a popular punk band, and teaching a class with an arrow in her gut.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "I'm Detective Dan." Often inserted randomly in sentences despite him having introduced himself already.
* DescendedCreator: In the first six seasons, writer/producer Kevin Kopelow played the show's abused stage manager in the openings. Writer/producer DanSchneider played the exasperated manager of Good Burger.
* DestinationDefenestration: A favorite gag across the entire run of the show. Be it hapless people being thrown out of windows, accident prone fools falling out of windows, or most often particularly off-kilter characters throwing themselves out of windows, the writers seemed to think that flying out of a window among the funniest ways you could write a character out of a scene. This occasionally carried over to KenanAndKel and TheAmandaShow as well.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Cheese Police skits are pretty much drug busts with the drugs replaced with cheese.
** The translations for the various ''French'' phrases of Pierre Escargot may come off this way. For example:
--->May I jump up and down on your sausages?
* DontExplainTheJoke: One Boring Man sketch used this trope:
-->Hypnopants: (After revealing his Hypnobot) Thats right, Boring Man. Stare into my bot. Get it? Because that's a robot and bot is short for "robot" and normally, I would say, "stare into..."
-->Boring Man: You know what, yes, I get it, I get it, I get it. Bot, butt, yes, yes. Who's the Boring Man around here?
* DoomItYourself: Repair Man-man-man-man-man's modus operandi.
** He certainly wasn't dispelling any comparisons to [[InLivingColor certain other sketch comedy shows]] of the time.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: One of the Baby Chat sketches did this so Chester could trick Lulu into expressing disapproval of public funding of private schools.
* EdutainmentShow: Completely subverted: "[[GratuitousFrench Everyday French]]," "Vital Information," "Don't Do This @ Home/School," "Peter & Flem," "Leroy & Fuzz," and '''''every''''' classroom sketch.
*** Although "Everyday French" was peppered with real french words.
** And to an extent, "Cooking with Randy & Mandy".
** To be fair, every kid knew what "lactose intolerant" meant after every Super Dude sketch... thanks to [[TheAmandaShow Amanda Bynes]] (and before her, Katrina Johnson).
** I bet a lot more kids knew who Ross Perot was after seeing the Earboy sketches.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The gist of the lyrics is "sit down and watch this show, because we are here to entertain you".
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Well, what do you expect when entering a game show called "You Can't Win"?
* TheFatGuy: Kenan played these type of people a fair amount of the time.
* FunnyForeigner: Ishboo; Pierre Escargot
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Although most of the translations for Pierre Escargot were pretty innocent sounding, quite a number of them could seem a bit dirtier.
** There was one USS Spaceship sketch where after Officer Ulcer failed to get the ship running, he says, "Piece o crap". So, they literally got crap past the radar.
** One Baggin', Saggin' Barry skit includes this piece of wisdom.
--->"You gotta reach down deep in your pants and pull out things you never knew you had."
** The background posters during Vital Information were actually quite dirty (I.e. "To Milk cow: Kiss cow, grab udder, yank.")
** One early sketch had Alisa having a sneezing fit. Kel asks what's wrong, and it turns out Alisa is allergic to wool. They think it might be Kel's socks, so he takes them off and tosses them off. Alisa's still sneezing though- so they think it might be Kel's shirt. No good- maybe Kel's ''pants''. At this point, Kel's in his boxers and Alisa's ''still'' sneezing. Turns out a Little Bo Peep-like lady brought her sheep to the taping.
** Amanda asks for a flashlight. Josh Server says "Oh, I have one in my pocket." Later in the same skit, Amanda Bynes stands over Danny Tamborelli in a suggestive manner, before ripping out his still beating heart. She is then nearly groped by one of the other guys, as she tries to pull out Danny's Tonsils.
** A customer asks Ed "Change for a dollar?" and he replies "Okay" and starts performing a striptease.
** In one sketch, Coach Kreeton calls his son a "misfired chromosome".
* GRatedDrug: '''''SUGAR AND COFFEE!!'''''. Naturally overlaps with KlatchianCoffee and MustHaveCaffeine.
* GrumpyOldMan: Bernie Kibbitz
* HairTriggerTemper: Ashley in "Ask Ashley." To be fair, everyone that writes in really are TooDumbToLive.
* HeroicWannabe: sort of, with Repairmanmanman and Randy Quench
** And Detective Dan, though he was a registered police officer.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Mavis & Clavis
** Kenan and Kel were more real life examples. Their chemistry in the show led to producers greenlighting a [[KenanAndKel spinoff]].
* HypocriticalHumor: Ms. Hushbaum, the "[[NoIndoorVoice Loud]] Librarian".
** There was one sketch from Season 9 involving the Rougenecks that used this trope
--> Buford: One time, a tick bit me in my butt.
--> Betty Jo: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Quit! Bragging! Moron!]]
--> Buford: Oh, Pa, Betty Jo done called me a moron.
--> Clem: Betty Jo, don't call your brother a moron.
--> Buford: You tell her, Pa.
--> Clem: Shut up, moron.

* MsFanservice: Alisa.
* {{Muppet}}: Fuzz, Dead Spice, Oswald, Cheeseburger Doyle
* {{Nepotism}}: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] and [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] when Jamie Spears enters the cast: Shane accuses her of having no talent, but she is able to shrink him down to the size of an avocado just by thinking, as well as styling Lisa's hair by breathing on it. When her powers fail to impress the cast, however, she simply bribes them with $5000 each.

** Just before season 10. Server, Thompson, Mitchell, & Tamberelli performed with the current cast. Cannon made a videophone cameo, & several other ex-cast appeared in backstage party segments.
* RightWayWrongWayPair: The “Life With Peter & Flem” sketches.
* RuleOfCool: The Big Ear of Corn, as {{Lampshaded}} in an intro sketch.
* RuleOfFunny: The green room sketches have this a lot. An example from Season 4 is the scarecrow:
--> '''Kenan:''' Aw, man. That scarecrow wasn't supposed to protect the Big Ear of Corn from ''crows'', it was supposed to protect the Big Ear of Corn from ''Elvis and professional wrestlers''!
--> '''Lori Beth:''' Elvis and professional wrestlers?
--> '''Everyone except Kenan:''' ''Huh?''
--> ''(An Elvis impersonator and two professional wrestlers storm into the room and steal the Big Ear of Corn)''
** And an example from Season 10, Truth or Bear?:
--> '''Christina:''' Kianna. Do you have... a hamster in your pocket?
--> '''Kianna:''' Hah, no.
--> '''Christina:''' You have to tell the truth.
--> '''Kianna:''' Ok... ''(fishes a hamster out of her pocket)''
--> ...
--> '''Kyle:''' I'll take dare.
--> '''Kianna:''' Sorry Kyle, we're not playing Truth or Dare.
--> '''Christina:''' Yeah, we're playing Truth or ''Bear''.
--> '''Kyle:''' Ok... then I guess I'll take bear!
--> ''(he gets mauled by a bear)''
* RuleOfThree: TONS of examples.
** The [[OprahWinfrey Okrah]] sketches usually had three guests per sketch.
** The Good Burger sketches had three customers per sketch.
** Repair Man (MAN MAN MAN) usually tried to repair three things.
** Lori Beth/Danny usually gave three pieces of Vital Information.
** Ashley would usually answer three questions.
** Pierre Escargot would give three French phrases.
** "Life with Peter and Flem" gave three contrasting examples of what Peter and Flem would do.
** In the "Complaint Department" sketches, three customers would complain about what they bought.
** "Know Your Stars" gave three "facts" about the star.
** "Vocabulary With Lisa and Oswald" from the later seasons had three vocabulary words.
* SadistShow: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTIn appropriately]] named game show "You Can't Win!" (which actually was the title of a game show parody done on ''Saturday Night Live'' during the 1979-1980 season [season five])
** Another game show had the loser ([[ButtMonkey Danny]]) punished in various ways, such as being covered in honey and "tickled" by a bear, or being ''strapped to a rocket and shot into space''.
** The Channel 6 1/2 News sketches tended to see Josh Server playing an on-location reporter being consistently abused by whatever surroundings he happened to be in. (For example, nearly freezing to death in the North Pole and being attacked by [[EverythingsWorseWithBears a polar bear]].)
* ScaryLibrarian: Well, not really scary. Just really loud enough to startle everyone.
* SeriousBusiness: Peas for Miss Piddlin.
* SeverelySpecializedStore: A variation appears in a skit with a retail store that sells only a single pair of pants.
* ShoutOut: In addition to the countless pop culture references: Amanda Bynes' father is a dentist; at least 2 green room sketches featured Amanda performing oral surgery, plus 1 "Ask Ashley" has her screaming at the audience to brush their teeth, & a one-off sketch features Josh Server as a crazy dentist called "Dr. Bynes."
** One sketch featured Ishboo going to the doctor's. When taking a look in his ears, the doctor briefly saw none other than RenAndStimpy.
*** A later sketch shows doctor checking Ishboo's nostrils and again seeing the cartoon duo.
** One Coach Kreeton sketch was filmed on [[RecycledSet a set for]] ''GullahGullahIsland''. Coach Kreeton acknowledges this after several failed attempts to rescue a cat from a tree.
--->"Crazy Gullah Gullah tree!"
* SpecialGuest: Only season 7 had them weekly (including return episodes with Bynes & Thompson). In the other 9 seasons, though, Chris Farley, Sinbad, Sherman Hemsley, Dr. Joyce Brothers, & post-Amanda Show Drake Bell all appeared, amongst numerous others. And every single episode had a musical guest.
* {{Spinoff}}: Though several shows (listed above) exist because of ''All That'', the only '''true''' spinoffs are ''Kablam!'' (via ActionLeagueNOW) & ''The Nick Cannon Show'' (via the [=LaTanya=] character).
** TheAmandaShow is also a spinoff of ''All That'', due to the combined facts that it was created by DanSchneider (who produced ''All That''), stared Amanda Bynes, and had frequent {{crossover}}s with ''All That'' when both shows were on the air.
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Series/SoRandom''
* SpotTheImposter: Stuart
** Parodied in one Superdude sketch, where a tiny white girl attempted to impersonate him and demonstrated her super-strength by ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome tearing a piece of paper]]'' in two.
* StuntCasting: Danny Tamberelli was already a Nickelodeon icon (mostly from TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete) before joining All That in its 4th season. Also, in season 8, Jamie Spears was added; solely due to sister's fame. Although Danny actually deserved to be on the show.
* {{Superman}}: Superdude, complete with ClarkKenting form "Mark Cant" (and even ParentalBonus girlfriend "Penny Lane")
** Speaking of ParentalBonus - Penny Lane, Abby Rhodes, "Heeeere's Johnny!" after Superdude chops a hole through a door,....Nickelodeon has always been chock full of this trope.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Island Girls" for the GilligansIsland theme.
** The sketch when Kel fell in love with a goat featured a rather cheap version of "Close to You".
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In every Stuart sketch when Stuart was confronted by law enforcement, he would deny kidnapping the real employee, tying them up and hiding them somewhere.
--->'''Police Officer:''' (after all the customers complain about the crazy things he did) Is all of this true?
---> '''Stuart:''' Of course not. I wouldn't dream of kidnapping the real checkout guy, tying him up, stealing his uniform, and hiding him underneath that counter.
* TakeThat; After a caller continuously tries to get the cast to fall for the "Is your refrigerator running?" prank, Kyle angrily tells him to "try your dumb prank on some DisneyChannel show 'cause we're too smart to fall for it!"
* ThatsAllFolks
* ThoseTwoGuys: The two old guys Mavis and Clavis.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate (Randy & Mandy), Peas (Miss Piddlin), Sugar & Coffee (Buzz & Caffy), Bacon (Thelma Stump), Everything (Fat Cop), Good Burger (Ed), Pork on a stick (Earboy), Pizza (Ross Perot)
* UselessSpleen: Averted in sketch where a character shows and tells about his friend's recently removed spleen. He ends his presentation with something along the lines of "Humans are incapable of surviving without their spleen," at which point his friend [[OhCrap gets worried]] and then collapses.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Superdude is lactose-intolerant. Naturally, his foes include Cow-Boy, Butter Boy, Yo-Girl, the Dairy Godfather, & ArchEnemy Milkman (the former 3 all played by Kel Mitchell & the latter 2 both being Josh Server).
* WordSaladHumor: In "Everyday French with Pierre Escargot," most of the "educational" French phrases are word salads, such as "Please remove your banjo from my belly button."
* YankTheDogsChain: Josh and Kenan tried to help Kevin pull a prank on the girls for once, only for it to backfire when the girls attack him while he was hiding in the giant object he was supposed pop out of.
* YouLookFamiliar: Superdude's equivalent of "It's a bird! It's a plane!" features variations like "It's Ishboo! It's Miss Piddlin! It's Pierre Escargot!" and once, even "It's Kenan!"

--> '''Mavis:''' Hey Clavis! Wake up, the wiki page is over.
--> '''Clavis:''' Oh yeah, kick it!
