@@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.
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.
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
I have never come across MADtv here in the UK before but used to enjoy the MAD magazines we got many years ago. I really enjoyed this and thanks for posting.
Late 90s it was amazing to watch as it happened. At one point you had to choose to tune into SNL or Mad TV. No TiVo recording it, no rewinding anything, no RUclips. Either taped it with VHS or watch it once lost forever. It was amazing
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.
I used to sit up by myself and watch Mad Tv on Saturday nights at 11 or midnight, when I was about 10. That was back when kids didn't have on demand cartoons and RUclips.
I did the same thing, only decades before you. I used to sneak up & watch SNL. Idk why MAD TV didn't continue. SNL has been on forever & they stopped being funny.
I'm amazed. I didn't know such a show ever existed. It's no surprise that the straight-laced TV stations and cable systems of the time around here wouldn't carry it. The material seems far beyond its time and is very well done. Maybe what we need today, is for it to be revived.
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.

@@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.
Its ridiculous this comedy show is even being discussed as "offensive" when the comedians, black and white mind you, together, made a living at poking fun at stupidity....not at each other. GET OVER YOURSELVES....NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!
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
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 💯💯
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..
@@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. 🤣
MadTV was doing most things people are only STILL talking about doing now!! They were brilliantly genius and are still the funniest show even in reruns!! Now I remember why I was so happy back then!
Debra Wilson, Alex Borstein , Michael McDonald , Will Sasso Nicole Sullivan are of the G.O.A.T.S of MadTv and Sketch Comedy. Also love the short lived show “Hype”
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.
The North Korean Scientist one was hilarious and I can’t even say why. Plus Judge Marilyn Milian is my hero. I love her so much and her impression was SPOT ON. God I miss Mad TV.
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.”
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
Being raised during the "golden?" years of SNL (91-95) I always thought of MadTV as a pale imitation...until college when the MadTV reruns ran so much that I caught it by default. Needless to say, I was wrong and Mad was better by a mile. Case in point...Key and Peele, Debra Wilson, Michael McDonald, Will Sasso, Mo Collins, Aries Spears, Bobby Lee, Nicole Sullivan, and Ike Barinholtz.
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.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING COMEDY into my day!!!! After watching the "shite show" that is 08/19/2022 I have found a place that comforts me, and it is this!!! (NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR THIS "simple thing!!!!!!")
I'm 45 , and watching this at 4.30am stoned had me in tears. THIS IS REAL COMEDY!!! I used to love this show, but instead somehow lane ass SNL made it?
So fucking educational. No politics, just teaching life skills. Love these off the cusp Sundance shit. Whatever I’m tired and can’t 😴 to used to being active. ADHD is real for me Nate you do not understand!
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.
It's actually a real thing. Not kidding. My best friend's older brother was in drama classes all through school and then moved to Hollywood to try to make it as an actor. He lived there for about 8 years. He had a few minor TV appearances, but never got any real work. Anyway, he's the one that told us about the Keanu Reeves acting style classes. Freaking hilarious.
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.

I will never understand why this show was canceled but SNL is still on. MAD TV was sketch comedy at it's best.

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.
Mad TV needs to make a come back. Amazing talent.
It could never be as funny as it is here nowadays unfortunately.
Sadly nowadays it would get shut down so fast 😢
It would be so political and woke it would be unwatchable.
Maybe in a yr or 2

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.
MAD was way better than SNL
I always thought so too!
Agreed
It’s 7am and I’m laughing out loud 😂😂😂😂
Genuinely forgot how funny and out of box they were; genius!
Waw, Will Sasso has the cutest smile I ever see.
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
“I’M A SCIENTIST! YOU’RE A SCIENTIST! SCIENCE! TOGETHER!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The North Korea skits never get old
"sometimes I do."
The North Korean Scientist one was hilarious and I can’t even say why. Plus Judge Marilyn Milian is my hero. I love her so much and her impression was SPOT ON. God I miss Mad TV.
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” 😅
I love this show! Along with In Living Color. SNL was great when it first started up until the late 80's, possibly.
The nostalgia with this one is just like with X Files. Too funny and I miss my childhood
Couldn't agree more
Lmaoooo The People's Court skit 😂 she was spot on with Judge Marilyn
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.”
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.
I love Keanu Reeves; he obviously is not taken with himself. Remaining humble is an admirable quality.
Then why take roles he is obviously not qualified for???
First of all the edits were awesome. Second MadTV was so ahead of its time it's crazy. The actors were amazing their characters are really believable.
So nostalgic!! When i was a little girl i watched this with my mama, i love MADTV
Being raised during the "golden?" years of SNL (91-95) I always thought of MadTV as a pale imitation...until college when the MadTV reruns ran so much that I caught it by default. Needless to say, I was wrong and Mad was better by a mile. Case in point...Key and Peele, Debra Wilson, Michael McDonald, Will Sasso, Mo Collins, Aries Spears, Bobby Lee, Nicole Sullivan, and Ike Barinholtz.
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.
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.
That bridal shower is mad hilarious
Wow, I never heard of this show until now! I must have been out of the country when it aired --- many thanks for this!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING COMEDY into my day!!!! After watching the "shite show" that is 08/19/2022 I have found a place that comforts me, and it is this!!! (NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR THIS "simple thing!!!!!!")
"Mom, Dad's playing with himself again"
You know it's gonna be a good episode when the kids say that 🤣
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.
That brittany spears skit had me on the floor
Wow😮😅😂
I so miss this show. When not much was taboo to comedy. Funny as hell.
I'm 45 , and watching this at 4.30am stoned had me in tears. THIS IS REAL COMEDY!!! I used to love this show, but instead somehow lane ass SNL made it?
I'm 42. I was also there my friend.... (Taped a few episodes on VHS 📼)
So fucking educational. No politics, just teaching life skills. Love these off the cusp Sundance shit. Whatever I’m tired and can’t 😴 to used to being active. ADHD is real for me Nate you do not understand!
Yes, "MAD TV" was really great tv show
Back when comedy was subjective and everyone could take a joke.
I know right? now people get butthurt over one joke and demand an apology for it
Thank the Universities and the sjw movement.
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.
Thank liberals
Yup, and it happened because of the media. Lies, disinformation designed to divide and conquer. Then, Trump finished the job.
Part of me is glad that Alex found a career in voicing Lois, but I really miss her characters on this show
Absolutely loved her as Ms. Swan! :)
I did not realize family guy been on since 1999!
MadTV was the BEST sketch comedy show ever. It was true Mad Magazine and still pretty fresh today.!
When Sasso would imitate Tony Soprano it was Scketch comedy GOLD !!!
Yvoone Criddle has me in TEARS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@ThaFashionAssassin so are all the shades of white...or yellow or pink....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
The Keanu Reeves acting class was gold.
That was hilarious!
It's actually a real thing. Not kidding. My best friend's older brother was in drama classes all through school and then moved to Hollywood to try to make it as an actor. He lived there for about 8 years. He had a few minor TV appearances, but never got any real work. Anyway, he's the one that told us about the Keanu Reeves acting style classes. Freaking hilarious.
Funny thing is that Andrew Bowen's Keanu impression ended up going full circle after he voiced Neo in The Matrix: Path of Neo.
the guy playing with himself?
MADTV should come back.
Stephanie Weir is pretty underrated.
I have not laughed this hard in years....miss REAL comedy
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
Couldn't wait for Saturday night's. Thanks for the upload. Prefect for going to sleep and waking up with refreshment use to go sleep with scary stuff on and dream about crazy stuff....thanks again for the upload.
"Stay-away-from-my-daughter-charcoal-black." Fearlessly funny.
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
OMG! Thank you for this video. I missed this show. "i-run" & "i-rack" skit was my favorite though : )
The korean baby sketch , Man.. funny as hell
😅😂😅😂
