Celebrating 'MADtv'

Great edit Eric , super smooth

[@chadwicksr07]

Yeah…. Smooth.

[@scottclem614]

And ask

[@C-Span222]

Thank you!

[@ericsteadman6687]

So true

[@DJ-uy8qp]

MadTV had such a talented cast. There was no “sub” cast. They could all hold their own.

[@cynthiaarthur2967]

Indeed, Well said !!

[@GarrettLoganGriffin]

Straight up. Smaller cast due to a smaller show I assume but that’s what makes it better than SNL to me. Their entire cast has to be on point, always. No room for dead weight. My favorite comedians and comediennes come from this show. Will Sasso, to me, is hands down the funniest fuckin’ guy on the planet.

[@markuse3472]

@@GarrettLoganGriffin Nah, SNL is better. Their acting is about acting and being as versatile as much as possible and they both show. I can't say that about MadTv. Some acts and scripts/skits surely were very good, but not all. SNL is jam-packed with much talent. Usually.

[@NevaUndaPressure]

Especially Ms. Debra Wilson 👑

[@samsoum9356]

Unbelievable talent ...

Debra Wilson is one of my favorites from MAD

[@dalekdx]

She always manages to crack me up. On Mad TV's website they once had a Ask Debra Anything section and I messaged her saying I loved her skits (especially Bunifa) and I thought she was the funniest skit performer since Gilda Radner. Shortly after that I received an autograph photo of her and a cassette tape of her telling me how much she appreciated my comments.

Man, I loved this show growing up. I'd take MadTV over SNL any day. It's crazy and sad to think that a majority of this show and its characters wouldn't be allowed to exist in today's ultra PC culture.

[@SA-87]

@@hunterjayfilm Yeah I guess. But it was also a time in comedy when everyone could get made fun of without the Twitter mobs deciding what we can and can't laugh at.

i also loved this when i was a kid it was my favorite show

[@colleendito2046]

This is why I dont watch SNL. This was funny, snl tries waay to hard, and they rarely deliver a good laugh. Except when, Bill, Gilda, Garret, Lorraine etc were on.

[@davidshogren5028]

What’s funny is I’ve seen these comments and of course people get offended at the idea that they would be offended And wonder why we miss this show lol

[@laurenchatman714]

I'm still amazed at how gifted every member of this cast is. They can all play a wide range of characters. I turn this show on when I need to unwind.

[@toma.4808]

I always thought mad tv was superior to SNL. Theyre comedic raunchyness was something i truley appreciated about this show. I wish it was still on tv

[@kenzielynn1047]

I think madTV ended well when it did, before political correctness was all that mattered. They knew when to walk away. In this decade it would definitely either be bogged down and muddled by new producers and comedians or just tasteless comedy, their ratings started to plummet so they decided to quit while it was still hot instead of wring every last drop they had until it sucked. I think the last season was the worst, it just wasn’t funny to me. I’m glad they went out with dignity and now they’re hailed as legends. If they went on we wouldn’t even be appreciative of the original work because we’d probably hate the new work, kind of like SNL.

[@redblueyellow2552]

@@kenzielynn1047 Couldn't agree more.

[@ag238677]

It seems like snl actors break character on purpose to make it funnier but madtv never had to do that. It happened naturally every once in a while which made it more genuine and made me love the characters more because they played their roles to perfection

[@lmc2664]

Most of them are real talented actors.

[@lmc2664]

Jan Kenny thanks, I’ll check out the show. I didn’t watch it because I didn’t like Leah Remini.

[@barbarat5729]

ALL OF THEM were talented. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

and the rest are just as funny

[@Blazs120gl]

Mad TV, please come back. Saturday night needs you!!!

[@crisscrossappsauce105]

They temporarily did, but with a new cast and of guest stars from the original cast to come join in some acts. Unfortunately, their comeback didn't result in positive reviews since the new cast were not yet accostumed to it and the attempt of a revival soon unfortunately ended.

[@cynthiaarthur2967]

Agreed 💯% !!!

[@PorscheTurner870]

This is why I knew before I seen one episode of Key&Peele I would love it and was right because they were both part of this legendary show that is better than a lot of the current comedy shows especially SNL

[@dwoollery]

[@ryansgirl2002]

Mad TV will forever be a favorite of mine and hold a place in my heart. IDC what anyone says: MadTv puts SNL to shame any day! Yes SNL has had it's funny characters/sketches but in my opinion MadTv showcased funnier, more talented people far more consistently. Plus, there is a certain "brand" of wildly inappropriate and bizarrely hilarious humor that MadTv NAILED and that is my sense of humor 100%! These characters remain with me still and always will and are still- all these years later-a huge part of my life...the references, quotes, quips, re-enactments and goofy inside jokes that me and my sister make constantly are never ending! Lol TO THIS DAY there's not a winter that goes by where I don't say "Look how little my gloves are" every. time. I. wear. gloves. 😂 We are also prone to busting out with an impromptu "look what I can do!" often. So here's to MadTv for the memories that last forever. I miss this show so much. They never got the recognition they deserved, dammit! And here's to Mad Magazine, too. I'm proud to be able to have passed my love of the show and magazine collection onto my own teen daughter.

[@vadik2007]

Totally agree! SNL paled and still pales in comparison to MadTV - I thought SNL would be cancelled in MadTV's shadow. Alas, I was wrong.

[@resaboutb.9566]

I don't know how I got here, but I'm sure glad I did! These comedians are so talented, funny, and irreverent - to be able to stuff down any self-consciousness and just put it all out there ... I laughed so much! I can't believe I missed MADtv during its prime run, but I'll be looking for more of these videos. I'd love to see some outtakes! Thanks for this, Eric!

[@joshnosher3536]

It's true that America is way too sensitive. You can't tell a joke without hurting someone's feelings now.
