Penelope Taynt (played by Amanda Bynes), is a character on The Amanda Show, was portrayed as Amanda's number-one fan in the world. She normally wore a vest, a plaid shirt and a black skirt, as well as large framed black glasses. On the show she ran a fansite, AmandaPlease.com, which is actually an official site created for the series, portrayed as Penelope's creation. Penelope also had the odd habit of interjecting the word "please" into most of her declarative sentences (though in her website she puts this down to the fact that she has always been told to say "please" when she wants something, and she wants to meet Amanda. But the word "please" is normally used with requests, never with statements.) Between segments in every show, she used some harebrained scheme to try and meet Amanda, but never succeeded (although in certain episodes, she managed to temporarily get Drake or Josh to help her). In other episodes, Penelope is with her younger brother, Preston, who looks like her. Preston usually annoys Penelope by asking her to make a sandwich. Preston usually unexpectedly meets Amanda while Penelope is on one of her "schemes" to meet Amanda. Various security guards, including one particularly overweight one called Barney, attempted to stop her attempts. Ironically, in later episodes, Penelope falls in love with Barney's son. They kissed each other at the end of the show, falling on the ground together. When Amanda's show was over, she had noticed Penelope and Barney's son, kissing. Amanda just shrugged, and walked by.
