MADtv - Fearlessly Funny 

That sh!t was SLICK!

@@Klaus293 trumper?

@@Klaus293 Nobody outlawed comedy you dummy.

Clearly

Same…this show was one of the happiest things of my childhood

It's sad, but it's not hard to understand...

I have always wondered what happened to MAD TV. I have also wondered why Dave Chappelle never returned to his hilarious television show.

@@thefutureofyesterday8136 i typed these questions into google and you would not BELIEVE what i found out!

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.

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.

Thanks for the extra info. 🌴

@Shin Shaman Oh, damn! I didn't know that, either.

@Shin Shaman Who did?

Same thing happened with Married with Children, and I say it again without Married with Children a lot of show will not exist now.

lmaooooo

It could never be as funny as it is here nowadays unfortunately.

Sadly nowadays it would get shut down so fast 😢

Yes you could, since mocking whites is the basis of comedy. Only whites.

Agreed

You could say that again and it's a shame it doesn't have another like it today.

Too True! Did you find it at all alarming through, the almost premanatory sketch of Brittany Spears ?

This and In Living Color

Except if it existed now, it would get ‘cancelled’

No, it's much more free than now. There isn't so much perceived freedom at the moment to make these jokes. But at the same time it's a lot of bull and it's fun to make good, funny, creative and meaningful sketches.

Brings me right back to 1999 man

Same thing I felt like a kid again

Same here…..nostalgia!

This was a time that comedy was allowed

Exactly!!!

@@AnneOhn123 mad t.v. was scripted rehearsed and acted which was better imo than the on the spot bs of snl...it made the moments where actors lost it on mad t.v. so much more funny and natural...like you could tell they thought it was funny cause they had already learned the lines and still were laughing at the skit

SNL was live, of course. Madtv wasn't

Now its pretty white superheroes kids with problems

every mid to late 90's and early to late 2000's show

Football guy witb brain damage smashing people lol

Yeah.. at the time, I had no idea the early 2000's were going to be the pinnacle of the post-racial society.

bobby lee was the best cause he wanted to laugh so many times and you could tell he was cool with the stereotypes of asians

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.

pre people hating themselves era

It's a shame that the path to hell is paved with good intentions They were just trying to make jokes, but they didn't realise they were accidentally normalising punching down for comedy

@Amni Ony Not until I got the internet. I was into toys and cartoons when that was on t.v.

@@kaoskewenvoyouma2712 And at 8 were you suddenly too old for toys and cartoons? Like wtf

@@MasterOfMagnet2099 Haha no. I just watched whatever I liked.

Considering it was on air about 40 years ago... You old af

@@onlydreaming1017 I'll take that as a compliment. You'll get old too and someone will say the same thing to you kid.

Lol

Canoe Reeves at the end.

Drunk Kenny Rogers was the ish. 💀😂

Wordddd lmaoooo

Got your point without the F bomb.

@@willgetbettereventually124 but the point was made better because of it.

The complete run is on HBO Max

29:00 Shout out to Christina Applegate!!

@@Dr.ZoidbergPhD You're the best thank you for that info I'm about to binge watch!!!

The North Korea skits never get old

"sometimes I do."

I always thought so too!

too racist

@@dorafrank4347 smh you’ll just never get it

The whites of the eyes and the teeth gleaming when they were at the door! So wrong but so damn funny

Right!!! I absolutely loved it!!!

Not racist, they made fun of racism. They made fun of everything especially..all the bullshit.love this show so much☮️☮️

Well said.

Gotta agree. Best argument I’ve seen, hands down.

Lol the canned show took so many risks. 🙄

Everything has to be politically racially sexually religiously SAFE... humor brings ppl together-- I can totally laugh at myself....

@thatparsleyguy And you’re point is what? Having a laugh track doesn’t mean anything.

Charcoal black sounds like a Unknown Rapper's Name

Cracked me up too at 3 in the morning in hospital 🏥

Bc lorne Michaels is cool with the media giants.

Thank you. Snl is overrated

Hell yea SNL is trash compared to this

SNL is only on because it’s a propaganda machine. Mad Tv is legitimate comedy. Wouldn’t survive cancel culture like all the rest of the real comedy.

Political correctness ruined comedy

True...Mo Collins kills me!

Vancome lady 🙃

Funny is funny. And I grew up watching MadTV. Good old days. Thanks for replying and I hope you are all doing well and have a blessed day.

Yeah even when a woman played a man because it was funny.

😶 👩👸🏼👧🏼👵🕵💥👂🏻👭🙋 pardon u there sonny-boy colin smith What was that again? Heels r in this valentines 👠💥 in ur shin. LOLOLOLLLL LADY GAGA WOULD TWIST U INTO SO MUCH POWDER whipper snapper.

This is a universal truth

😩🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Oh Beverli you are the living end

I'm 42. I was also there my friend.... (Taped a few episodes on VHS 📼)

I love the good old days of MadTv! When you get older, you really start to understand why your parents always say "I miss the good old days" 😅 So much stuff in the world sucks right now.

HANDS DOWN!!!!! Why did they take it off the air?

@@miekam9675 Probably because everything was getting all "politically correct" and people started acting like a bunch of snowflakes lol.

In Living Color and Chappelle Show both contest respectively.

@@trealsteve As a black person, I have to disagree. MadTV was absolutely ahead of their time, and a lot of their sketches were brilliant. The cast, the sketches, everything! Chappelle was a classic, but it didn't have the ensemble this has.

@@VenVile Well… Also as a fellow Black person (like that matters LMFAO), In Living Color did it first and better. 🤣

Unfortunately those people from the box are no longer in existence :(

@@jpman2173 Right. And literally No Black People were offended, but some SJW/Karen had to be offended for us. That’s why we can’t have nice things like MAD TV and In Living Color. 🤣

trealsteve One black person was offended by it and posted something online. After that it gained traction and now, no more imagines.

It would not have last today

You racist

I can't believe that we sat here and looked at that grown ass man and believed that for a second he was an asain baby that this white lady picked up somehow

The other baby is Bobby's brother

Absolutely loved her as Ms. Swan! :)

I did not realize family guy been on since 1999!

They do laugh, but only at the expense of someone else's life. The ones heavily obsessed with politics, and narratives.

A lot of these skits are very innocent and not offensive but people find damn near everything offensive these days

As a 40 year old who watched as a kid, this is comedy gold! No doubt that people get offended, you can't say anything or laugh without being accused of something foolish.

The Regime needs to go

​@@hardyjoe4278 You mean Leftist causes, not "politics." C'mon.

Nigga this show is almost 30 years old.

Nothing funny about this... first time ever knowing it existed. It's what we see wrong today with this woke bs

ya'll should check out a show called FRIDAYS that was played on Fridays

​@@TheeRockerthe lesbo scene is so true for today. Forcing ppl to be gay

Your folks must be very, very open-minded !

I was 15 when they premiered. I only liked certain casts on SNL (they're terrible now). But they never compared to MADTV. In 15 seasons they never disappointed. Unapologetic in their skits and always pushing the limits. Like trey parker and Matt stone

@@TheBuri00 :: I agree w / you about MADtv vs SNL. 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. )

@@cliffgaither IKR. 🤣 I watched this, Married With Children, The Simpson’s, Martin, SNL and In Living Color with my Dad when I was a kid. The rule was not to repeat the adult stuff, but I got to see anything cool on network tv before 9pm on a school night and by 12/1 am on the weekends until I was 12. Monty Python was also on the tube whenever my Dad found it on TV. Good times.

@@trealsteve :: What's your opinion about MADtv ?

The show's producers must have spent quite some time figuring out how to make that skit work without the censors shutting it all down.

too racist

@@dorafrank4347 nah too good loved it 🇯🇲

@@dorafrank4347 Racist jokes are kinda funny when done with some creativity. And that joke is golden, specially the delivery

18:27 - 18:40 * why i love this show its just dumb funny 🤣

Well with all the sensitivity these days this kinda shit is long gone. Im surprised every single one of these actors havent been accused of racism.

Agreed

Agreed. Wish culture clashes weren't deemed as so harsh. I love how they make the racism sketches as humorous as racism ought to be seen: as a joke.

He was overweight when he first did the show but he lost a lot of weight as the show went on. He was very handsome!

He does a show on hulu with that actress from Tiana

Couldn't agree more

Exactly

i can't thank you enough. Thanks

All seasons?

@@darkoniflames2051 yes all seasons :)

@@Rositotheosito Thank you, you made me a happy man

@@darkoniflames2051 you’re welcome! Enjoy! I’m on season 2 already

In my free time between tours, I would write parodies something in the WAY you would see on MM, EXAMPLE, my way of the real GUNSMOKE, CHESTER RUNS INTO THE MARSHALL OFFICE SCREAMING, MR.DILLION, MR.DILLION, MARSHALL DILLION, WHAT THE HELL YOU SCREAMING ABOUT YOU ONE- LEG CRAZY BASTARD, HURRY MR.

DILLION HELL NO YOU CAN'T COME CAUSE LAST TIME YOU AND THAT CRAZY QUINT GOT FUCKED-UP ON THAT SHIT AND HUNG OLE FESTUS AND THEN TRIED TO HAVE SEX WITH HIS MULE, CHESTER O.K. BE THAT WAY I WILL GO AND GET WILL MANNING AND LET HIM SHOOT YOUR ASS, WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH THAT SHOTGUN? MR. DILLION I AM GOING TO BLOW YOUR OTHER LEG-OFF, THEY REJECTED IT CAUSE IT WAS TOO STRONG FOR TV. I NEVER DID GET MY SCRIPT BACK AND NOW THE MAIN STARS OF GUNSMOKE HAVE PASSED AWAY EXCEPT FOR BUCK TAYLOR WHO I CANT STAND,I WAS FOR HIS DAD DUB TAYLOR TO TAKE THE PLACE OF DENNIS WEAVER LEFT THE SHOW BUT KEN CURTIS OFFERED TO WORK FOR ONE SEASON FOR FREE, ALL THE CAST WANTED DUB TAYLOR SOME WANTED SLIM PICKENS SOME SAID GEORGE LINSLEY [ GOOBER ] AND OTHERS WANTED Anthony James WHO WAS MYs second CHOICE.

don't forget mo collins frank caliendo bobby lee aries spears and stephanie weir

And Artie Lange!

You forgot Mo Collins.

@@ChinookBear No one forgets Mo Collins 🙂

Oooh u guys are so right. How could I forget Mo Collins & Stephanie Weir…. I sort of fell off Mad tv by time Bobbi Lee got in for a season or two. Aries Spears was definitely a stand out for his seasons.

Yes, but them leaves and grass were on my lawn...

It’s because we know he’s not lying when he says “sometimes I do” 😅

Ragin'Rudolph

To be honest all five colors of black are in the stay-away-from-my-daughter category 😂

ThaFashionAssassin ha ha.

@@ThaFashionAssassin all colors are stay-away-from-my-daughter lol

@@ThaFashionAssassin so are all the shades of white...or yellow or pink....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

Then why take roles he is obviously not qualified for???

😅😂😅😂

Sheeee looka like a man...

You must have been born in the wrong era too.

@@dcgeorgia6307 yeah, unfortunately 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

Really?

Wow😮😅😂

He's one of the funniest/weirdest comics

Truth or left in i didn't know!!! McDonald knows😄😂🤣😅😆😂😉

SuperROTFL Me!

Made me think of Joker

I’m taking a flight in the morning. It’s all I’ll think about.

YESSSSSSS. sad that only key and peele got to make it big BIG.

Meh Key and Peele were the weakest link aren't really that funny more a try hard edgy vibe imo.

Sniper accurate 💯

YES!

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

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

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

Haven't laughed in years...truth...

I have been in a sever depression. This had me actually laughing out loud while alone....still smilling. Thanks for posting. You lifted an old mans spirits today. Laughter is good medicin.

Thanks to all the butt hurt cry babies of America. We will never be able to have comedy like this again

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