MADtv - Fearlessly Funny

With this Tribute to MADtv, I assembled a compilation of clips focusing from the first few seasons of the show. The team at that time was clearly unafraid to take risks with controversial subjects, and the results were hilarious memories that will stand the test of time as they were clearly ahead of their time!

The last couple of seasons of Mad TV were horrible, their roster of greats was gone and ratings tanked. At the same time, SNL had Fey, Thompson, and a bunch of strong actors still, so they survived.

[@caseybell5442]

MADTV was a lot more raw and offensive. By the time the last season was made, Americans were protesting anyone and everything that offended them. They couldn't do the same kind of comedy without getting in trouble so they just closed up shop.

[@ittybitty6474]

The way comedy was, and the way it should be... open to all. It was meant to be in jest. That is why they call them jokes... Comedy keeps us all in check by "taking the piss" out, as the Brits say. Everyone takes things way to seriously now. So sad, as life is stressful and short, and laughter keeps us happy and healthy.

Bobby Lee explained on his podcast that the reason why they could get away with some much on the show was because Fox treated the show like a red-headed step-child. Meaning the higher ups rarely checked in on them.

Sometimes, MADtv writers realized they may have crossed-the-line but they went ahead anyway ; for example, The-Bill- Clinton-can't-tell-a-lie- during-Chelsea Clinton's-birthday skit. Clinton's last line to "Chelsea" was brutal. After the skit, there was a disclaimer about how "lovely" they ( MADtv ) thought Chelsea Clinton was ... South Park has a rep. for being "mean-spirited". I stopped watching after their mis-treatment of Butters, but started watching again after the addition of PC Principal. ( I've never seen any disclaimers from South Park. )

Part of me is glad that Alex found a career in voicing Lois, but I really miss her characters on this show

[@Joe_334]

Absolutely loved her as Ms. Swan! :)

[@GoddessK3ndra]

I did not realize family guy been on since 1999!

[@marvwatkins7029]

MADTV should come back.

[@marcespinoza6068]

Dude's Keanu Reeves impression was insane. He has the mannerisms on point.

[@ernesto5740]

Mad was.... and still brutally FUNNY !!!!

[@uqonsoul]

Exactly

[@cmw12]

Here’s the thing about Mad TV: you know you’re in good hands. You can relax and anticipate humor, rather than brace for cringe. The writing is better, the acting is better, the cast gels more, and it’s just... good. It’s very, very good. SNL is a marathon of “Please, please let this be mildly amusing and not a carbon copy of a skit they’ve done 20 times before. Let the political commentary be witty and apt, and let the narrator not just state SNL’s political opinions outright. If it’s another Gilly or What’s Up With That, let the remote be close at hand.”

[@trillfa9774]

Sniper accurate 💯

[@jonajager635]

YES!

[@razkable]

the old snl at least like mad t.v. at its peak had good writing/comedians..now they have hacks...bill murray eddie murphy billy crystal chris rock will ferrel adam sandler david spade dennis miller martin short darrell hammond chevy chase norm mcdonald mike meyers jon lovitz amy poehler phil hartman dan aykroyd phil hartman and john belushi...these people are talented

[@dumpsterpuppets]

At least when mad is bad it's still trying to be funny Snl is old and stale like its executive.

[@danielessex2162]

Funny how most of the time people complain about political humor is when they are upset thier party is being made fun of.

[@KathrineLozo]

This brings back hilarious memories! Thank you!

[@JERZEEHOTBOY]

Whooooa! This show was hilarious! Nobody was safe! Would totally get banned and start some protests if this was aired now! 😂 😂 😂

[@jayepickard967]

This cheers me up in my darkest hour...Truly so. I watch this in May 2021 when the world is a mess and I'm just regrouping. This is true comedy and superior talent. Soooooo funny. It makes me laugh like a kid again..

[@lespoole8527]

Im watching it now not knowing what's going threw putins mind oh the damn war .

[@Miracle122485]

Man, I love this show! I'd never miss an episode! I looked forward to Saturday night watching this with my parents when I was 10! Lol

[@beeboo2523]

MadTv was crazy funny. It had UNIVERSAL FUNNY. In Living Color and SHYTNL did "not have universal funny". Both served to specific audiences for whom, they were aiming towards.

[@petelarosa282]

Mad is always very funny.

[@sterlingdemons6875]

Even back then when I was young, I always thought that Alex Borstein is fine AF😍😍💯

[@codydillard8918]

Sheeee looka like a man...

[@dcgeorgia6307]

You must have been born in the wrong era too.

[@sterlingdemons6875]

@@dcgeorgia6307 yeah, unfortunately 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

[@joegriego3091]

Really?

[@masterofthewicked89]

Back when comedy was subjective and everyone could take a joke.

[@thedoomslayer4327]

I know right? now people get butthurt over one joke and demand an apology for it

[@danielzerich2179]

Thank the Universities and the sjw movement.

[@rashb3994]

That was because 90s and early 2000's is when race relations were at their best. When Obama became president the racism amped up as some people were uncomfortable with the idea. So it put everyone more on edge. And since America has never really closed it's wounds and people try not to let the past repeat there is a hyper sensitivity from both sides. That's actually how we got here.

[@MRios1128]

Thank liberals

[@GladysAlicea]

Yup, and it happened because of the media. Lies, disinformation designed to divide and conquer. Then, Trump finished the job.

[@vernaaustin9032]

What a treasure to find!!! Thank you for this I LOVED this show so much !!!!!!

[@MarliQueen721]

I see a lot of comments saying why did this show get cancelled and not SNL, It's because SNL was on the air since the 70's so it's considered a comedy classic show. In my opinion, MadTv is still to this day funnier than SNL! #Facts 💯💯

[@Rocky80943]

Why is MAD TV not there, and SNL is still here

[@violentwolf6891]

If mad still exist today its no longer funny because of censorship bullsht just take a look at snl

[@JamesASharp]

It's a doggone conspiracy. 😡😡

[@ohcharlie428]

Lorne michaels owns all of comedy now a days....its stupid that one boomer has creative control of a huge amount if mainstream comedy..its united states capitalism at its finest.

[@Lucky_Chase]

I had always loved this series, but Yvonne Criddle in Milian's People's Court was the sketch that got me hooked. I wish they had made more of these than just the two.

[@alanbone5512]

Brilliantly funny, i remember the mad magazines, when i was a boy, had me in stitches, thank you for the memories, very funny each sketch,

[@Casper50002]

The awkward staredown with The New Neighbor's 3:22 lasts forever 😂
