Cast members featured	Amanda Bynes, Taran Killam, Lauren Petty, Molly Orr, and Matthew Botuchis
Performed in	Seasons 2-3

Moody's Point was a sketch on the Nickelodeon series The Amanda Show. It was performed in seasons two and three. The sketch parodied the WB's Dawson's Creek and all other teen dramas or soap operas.

The sketch focuses on Moody, an emotionally exaggerated teenager whose mother is lost in a hot-air balloon and whose father is missing a toe. She joins her friends with Brie, the easily offended Misty, Spalding, a boy who has a huge crush on Moody but is criticized by her in a ridiculous way and constantly has objects flung at him from beyond the screen; and Sternum (played by Mathew Botuchis), a pondering "bad boy" who responds to every question by asking the opposite question. Each episode had its own storyline, and ends with a cliffhanger. An episode ends with Moody finding out that her birth parents are circus trapeze artists named "The Flying Worthsbergs". The episode was left on a cliffhanger, but the show was canceled shortly thereafter. Schneider had pitched an full-fledged series based on the skit to Nickelodeon, but the show was not green-lit.
