History Series / AllThat

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* MoodSwinger: Happens repeatedly during ''Ask Ashley''. Ashley is nice and gentle, but after reading a letter, she would [[EnragedByIdiocy scream an annoyed and vicious tirade]] against the author. After this, she’s back to her nice self.

--->'''Ashley:''' Ellis writes, "Dear Ashley"...thaaaaat's me! "Dear Ashley, I left the door to my house wide open this morning and went to school. When I got home, ''all'' my stuff was ''gone''. My TV, my stereo, my couch, my other TV...everything. Did all of my stuff turn invisible? Maybe it all just got up and ran away from home. Ashley, what do you think?"

** Repair Man (MAN MAN MAN) usually "repaired" three things.

** "Know Your Stars" usually gave three "facts" about the star. In one sketch, however, the announcer gave five "facts" about Christina Kirkman. This was the fourth one:

'''Announcer:''' Christina Kirkman...loves to pick her brother's nose.

'''Christina:''' GROSS! I don't even ''have'' a brother...and, if I did, he could pick his ''own'' nose, without ''my'' assistance!

** Repair Man (MAN MAN MAN) usually tried to repair three things.

** "Know Your Stars" gave three "facts" about the star.

** The Channel 6½ 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 [[BearsAreBadNews a polar bear]].)

* BatDeduction / InsaneTrollLogic:

* Franchise/{{Superman}}: Superdude, complete with ClarkKenting form "Mark Cant" (and even ParentalBonus girlfriend "Penny Lane")

In 2019, Nickelodeon premiered the second revival of ''All That'', spear-headed by Brian Robbins (newly-installed as President of Nickelodeon) with a brand new cast and with Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell serving as executive producers. This was derailed by the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, and the revival is on hiatus, future unknown.

* KarmaHoudini: Leroy (Leon Frierson) from Have a Nice Day with Leroy and Fuzz.

->''"Fresh out the box,
->Stop, look, & watch,
->Ready yet? Get set,
->It's Allllll That!"''

* MsFanservice: Alisa. She was usually the go-to girl whenever a sketch required someone attractive. More than a few sketches also had her [[BareYourMidriff bare stomach visible]], most notably Kiki from "The Island Girls".

** Creator/Sinbad as Ishboo's dad, Sinboo.

** We never find out where Ishboo comes from. Though on a T-shirt his dad, Sinboo (played by Creator/Sinbad), brought him, it's actually called Foreign Land and the country resembles Antarctica.

** Chris Farley made a few in one episode (for instance, as Chef Farley on Randy & Mandy, after Mandy has left):

** Sinbad as Ishboo's dad, Sinboo.

* SpecialGuest: Every episode has a musical guest. Season 7 was the only season that had non-musical guests weekly (including return episodes for Bynes & Thompson). In the other 9 seasons, though, Chris Farley, Sinbad, Sherman Hemsley, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Tia and Tamera Mowry, and Tyra Banks appeared, amongst numerous others. Drake Bell and Josh Peck made multiple appearances each, including together with Miranda Cosgrove in the 10th anniversary, where Zoey 101’s Paul Butcher and Christopher Massey appeared with Alexa Nikolas. Peck had also first appeared with his ''Film/SnowDay'' castmates.

** We never find out where Ishboo comes from. Though on a T-shirt his dad, Sinboo (played by Sinbad), brought him, it's actually called Foreign Land and the country resembles Antarctica.

** In a "Cooking with Randy" sketch, Chef Farley (Chris Farley) warns Randy about the dangers of his chocolate addiction in a manner similar to Farley's SNL character Matt Foley.

* BalloonBelly: Twice. First time was during an original era Okra sketch in which a girl demonstrated a "talent" of being able to drink a huge amount of tomato juice, which first shows her becoming visibly bloated, then lead to {{squick}}y results of her stomach apparently exploding, which thankfully wasn't shown on screen[[note]]okay save for a scene of the audience getting splashed with "tomato juice,"[[/note]]. Then once during a Randy Quench skit during the relaunch era, where Randy mistakenly thinks a girl is having trouble breathing and puts an oxygen mask on her, causing her mid section to become humorously gigantic (this too leads to a "boom!", but thankfully in this case we see the girl a few seconds later being perfectly fine aside from her clothes being both tattered and strangely intact all at once).

* BlessedWithSuck: Boring Man, Bucket Man, LAMOS

* BreastExpansion: See the Randy Quench entry under BalloonBelly. The sketch LAMOS (about [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway terrible superheroes]]) also featured a heroine called Megabutt who, as her name suggests, inflated her butt like a balloon.

** "Dear Ashley," That's '''''ME!'''''

** In the Season 7 episode where Amanda Bynes guest stars, Penelope Taynt, her number one fan please from ''Series/TheAmandaShow'' breaks into the All That set to meet her.

* EdutainmentShow: Completely subverted in "[[GratuitousFrench Everyday French]]," "Vital Information," "Don't Do This @ Home/School," "Peter & Flem," "Leroy & Fuzz," and '''''every''''' classroom sketch.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Well, what do you expect when entering a game show called "You Can't Win"? Even when one of the contestants happens to guess correctly the host just [[BlatantLies claims he didn't hear him]]

--> 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.

** "Stuart" is a variant of "Steward," someone who fills in for another in their duties, which is ''exactly'' what Stuart forcibly does.

** The sketch, "Have a Nice Day With Leroy and Fuzz", which parodies kids shows along the vein of Series/SesameStreet. And which always ends with the sarcastic Leroy (played by Leon Frierson) using some kind of "creative" way of beating up the annoying blue puppet named Fuzz, as a RunningGag.

** The intro originally contained a shout out to SNL and the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" with Soup saying "Not quite live, but ready for prime time."
** Jimmy Bond sketches are rather obviously James Bond for kids.

** Series/TheAmandaShow was created by Creator/DanSchneider (who produced ''All That'') as a vehicle for Amanda Bynes.

* ThrowTheDogABone: It took over twenty years, but in the 2019 revival,the Island Girls Fran and Kiki ''finally'' escape their imprisonment on the titular islet. Unfortunately, they do so by stealing the jet skis from two people who dropped by, and thus the sketch takes on new life as the Island Boys.

* WordSaladHumor: In "Everyday French with Pierre Escargot," most of the "semi-educational" French phrases are word salads, such as "Kiss me! Squeeze me! Call me Mrs. Beasley!", "Who are you, and why are you wearing my Daddy's panties?", "Pardon me, but this tissue has already been used", and "Excuse me! I am not a drinking fountain!".

--> '''Mr. Whipple:''' No, look, I'm not confessing! I didn't do anything!

--> '''Mr. Whipple (''Tim Goodwin''):''' No, look, I'm not confessing! I didn't do anything!

-->'''Lost & Found woman:''' Not much of a glow, if you ask me, but...I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
