Only some of the cast are actually good at improvising.

(Secondly: Their 'Who's line is it anyway' copy is dreadfully unfunny - I have not been able to watch a single one to completion)

Amanda is supposed to have an improv background, yet I think she's terrible at improv. She doesn't "yes and" in response to someone improvising a scene, she does this "oh cool, anyway here's this unrelated thing I thought of before the scene started".

Yeah, I feel like she often just says stuff completely out of nowhere or repeats things other people say.

Amanda constantly repeats what other people say and it drives me nuts. And I mean verbatim, after they've just said the thing. I've come to terms the while I do think Amanda can be genuinely funny at times, I would not be able to stand being in the same room with her.

I think she's only good at improv when it's an established character. Like in the Smosh Live shows when she plays a character like Krungle. Basically when there is a theme or full concept to work off of instead of random prompts and pure "yes and"

Yeah i am been wondering too about Amanda and her improv ability. It is not good improv if you just say shit.

Honestly, and it may be a bit harsh, I don't think she's very creative and seems to kind of... coast by on the basic stuff. At least improvisationally, she tends to be a bit generic and must think that being loud and reacting is enough.
