MadTV and In Living Color were my after-school go to shows. Then it was Whose Line Is It Anyway with Drew Carey after supper. The nostalgia is hitting me hard.
Me either! Got rid of my TV and provider years ago once the lying, phony, corrupt left-wing lamestream so-called, ‘media,’ bahahahaha (can’t even use that term without laughing anymore 😂) began getting exposed like they deserve! Now I primarily just watch mostly old reruns of the classics and alternative political media for any political information to stay informed.
Thank you so much for uploading all these. I really miss this show. I use to watch this every Saturday night as a teenager. I will never understand how snl continues and Mad TV is gone. Mad tv is so much better.
The Michael Moore skit with George Bush's mother had me dying it was so hilarious how she jump-started her kick I just fell out dying oh my God I miss this show
The best comedy show ever. Sorry SCTV. Sorry In Living Color. Everyone got blown out. Everyone. Great compilation! Thank you so much whoever you are that put these together.
Over time I sort of convinced myself that MadTV wasn't as great as I remembered. That it was all just nostalgia. I was wrong. It's even better than I remembered.
😂 The first 3 skits & the taco skit Her/Loretta to Jorge: "Jorghey! Get back to the pipeline! Jorge I see you, now don't you fake push buttons on the microwave." * he keeps pushing them * 🤣
I love LOVE the AMWAY reference by Mo Collins!!!’ My brother and sis and law got into that crap and it was evil af… this couple were sadly not just a skit… how many parents do we know were the same way or just a combo of other parents? It’s so real it’s scary.
Like Mo Collins, I also grew up in Minnesota and Amway (and other multi level marketing) was present at one point in the family growing up. Felt like that joke was a wink and a nod to being from there.
I'm sitting here on my 31st day in the hospital and glad to remember that I haven't seen most of these old MadTV sketches. I was enjoying them up until the 20:00 minute mark, and then suddenly realized that the arguing between the woman and her husband was triggering me. I know it's comedy, but it is SERIOUSLY exactly like the kind of childhood I had, where my parents would scream at each other and yell stuff like this for hours and hours -- often deep into the night. Even in my bedroom with my pillow over my head and headphones in my ears, I couldn't drown it out. How sad is that? I have to skip scenes like this in movies and shows because, even though it's comedy and should be funny, it's actually like real life was for me growing up. Crazy. Other than that, I find these sketches hilarious.
It may be hard, but we can use the absurdity of comedy to face our childhood trauma and confront it, to finally come to terms with it and fully integrate the lessons of our life experiences to be a better person. The writers of that skit and even Mo Collins clearly have been though that as well, so it comes off as real and authentic. What upsets me about the skit as well is how it portrays the grandpa and neighbors as being totally oblivious or afraid to call the parents out, that is a very common thing in toxic relationships. If others would have the courage to stand and do what is right by others, we could stop this behavior in its tracks. The daughter and grandpa dealing with dimmenta are both victims here. It strongly reminds me of the abusive family dynamic in the Sidney Poitier film, “A Patch of Blue”.
❤ So very true....I feel the same way, although I am grateful to have stopped recreating these toxic relationships in my own adult life. The acting in these Mad Tv sketches was so good & realistic that it triggered me as well...I had to fast forward over these scenes, SO GRATEFUL that I can do this & not have to endure this childhood pain & trauma again. I don't know how I survived it in real life 😮
Sometimes comedy holds up a dark mirror… these comedic actors are so good in this sketch they made me laugh! But the daughter trying her best to bring peace and make everyone happy, did bring a tear to my eyes. Wow.
I don't share the experience, but the sketch still gets uncomfortable. I've seen couples like that though who clearly hate each other but think it's better for the kids if they stay together and you can't convince me that getting divorced wouldn't be better for everyone.
Absolute classic always loved watching it back then and now to be honest the only good years of SNL were the 90s but mad TV always was my favorite true ogs know
Was the James gandalfini sketch actually based on anything that actually happened? Or were they just having fun with Will Sasso's impression? I don't remember hearing about James acting out like Russell Crowe back in the day
Hello from Salt Lake City. Had never seen the Elizabeth Smart skit before and at first I was “oh c’mon”….but then I was dying laughing at how accurate at what sell outs her parents are. They sure as hell capitalized on her horrific experience.
59:07 I love how Ike, already slightly breaking from Mo's delivery, just dies laughing. He plays it so well as sad crying, but you can tell those are happy tears 😂
