Amanda has a cool demeanor, but tends to be rude and sarcastic at times, especially toward her family. This is evident in Take Elmyra Please, when Elmyra asks her father if he will be on the news the day of his new discovery of a clean-burning alternative fuel, and she insultingly and sarcastically tells her, "No, they're coming over to give you your own show, Elbow-head!" Elmyra, unable to understand sarcasm, really believes what she just said.
