@@Falcone45 you mean he didn't sound British? It was the one time i thought an American did a good British accent, probably because it was just a few words and he probably practiced it a lot. The other time he talked however i think he butchered it a little
Every impressionist wishes for that one signature impression that people never tire of seeing. Rich Little had Nixon, Gorshin had Kirk Douglas....and Calienda has Madden! Original.....and spot on accurate!
"I don't get this show. I mean, first you're dancing over there, and then you're dancing over here, and then you give it to Ahmad Rashad over here, and he plays a record, and people are laughing at things that I don't find particularly funny at all, it's kind of a wordplay kind of a thing. And then you got "What's a fish thinking?", I didn't get that bit at all. I'm here and I just want to talk about football. Are you high on drugs?" Brilliant summary! Spot-on!
LMAO, she does the best impression of Ellen The ending cracked me up. When we come back, I'm going to try to raise one eyebrow. LOL. It's so stupid it's funny.
But Nicole dances wayyyy better than Ellen while mimicking Ellen's dance stylings to a T. It's clear she has excellent rhythm, is very fluid, wouldn't be surprised to learn she has pro training.
MAD TV has been off the air forever now and the older seasons, up until 2010, are still years better than SNL could ever be. Especially in in its' current state.
@@pantarei8382 Wait a minute!! SNL hired some of the writers from Mad TV, and SNL of the 21st century still can't compete with Mad TV from seasons 3-11!?! Well, that says everything about SNL.
wow no lesbian jokes, they took the high road on this one... madtv was something special, I mean they did have alot of crappy sketches in between the good ones and towards the end of it's run was almost completely unwatchable but still by todays standards it's a dam good show, the good sketches had smart and funny writing
Remember that time when late night comedy sketch shows were actually funny without feeling the need to constantly ram their political views down our throats?
This isn't even really a parody, it is so on point to what her show is. I don't really like Ellen or think she is funny but I do appreciate her humanitarian stuff. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same, I'm surprised she is on TV, most comedy is far more advanced than hers. She is clearly very intelligent business wise, and gas very good marketing skills. I don't like her but I watch her show. so that says something. I just wish she was funnier and didn't get laughs at others' expense( not even talking about the scares)and that she didn't belittle and talk down children. It's just the society she grew up in tho.
humanitarian stuff is just used as a tax write off a lot of rich people hate paying tax so we donate money then use it as a tax write off so the government does not steal our money.
I never really found her funny, but then reading the stories that came out about how she treated/treats her employees and just people in general (including continually berating her boss's 10 year old son when he would visit when she was younger - who does that?), I really dislike her as a person. She sounds like she's very unpleasant away from the camera/in company she considers "beneath" her.
The writers couldn't resist it. I remember a sketch from another show where I started thinking about the pun without the sketch referencing it. It was a great sketch but can't recall the name.
Let's be honest, Nicole Parker did a better Ellen than Kate Mckinnon.
It is because Kate Mckinnon is always PC. She's funny, but the PC shit cuts a lot of fun.
Because you have to be a real “gay” in show business.
facts!
No shit!! No skit or actor on SNL can hold a candle to MadTv or any of their actors.
@@betoen personal computer so not a mac then
Props to Nicole here.She worked hard in this skit, keeping up the impression, dialogue and a lot of physical comedy.
"I'M A BRITISH BLACK MAN. Thats what sets me apart" LOL.
Thomas Harding 😂🤣
My reply to him would been "Shut up!" Lol I don't hate the guy, I just thought the impression was not done that well.
@@Falcone45 you mean he didn't sound British? It was the one time i thought an American did a good British accent, probably because it was just a few words and he probably practiced it a lot. The other time he talked however i think he butchered it a little
When she did the limbo under John Maddens handshake attempt I lost it lol!
Hahahahahahahahahha!
This was a brilliant impression. For most of the time, her voice was almost identical to Ellen's
I personally prefer Nicole's Ellen to Kate McKinnon from SNL.
it’s a little nasally but well done.
Nicole Parker is so fucking talented
She's got all the talent that Ellen's lacking.
Exactly
She should have her own show
MAD TV WAS SO SO MUCH BETTER THAN SNL CAN EVER BE
It's rare to get a good laugh from SNL. Madtv was good for several per episode
You are both right
It took 7 months but I am your 100 like!!! :)
SNL pushes their democratic agenda. Shameful actors on that show
@@jerrycant2261 After the 90s it just quit being funny.
The only time I find Ellen funny .... a funny impersonation of her on MADtv.
Everyone is praising the Ellen impersonation, but the Madden one was nothing to scoff at either. He got the voice and mannerisms down perfectly.
I love mad TV Madden skits
+Zanian19 Absolutely... BTW everybody that's Frank Caliendo, look up his G.W. Bush impressions too.
+Zanian19 Look at Frank Caliendo's other impersonations here on RUclips. Frank Caliendo is the best impersonator ever.
Zanian19 that was the funniest part to me 😂😂😂
Madden is gold
LMAO! this is better than SNL's impression by a million
+bigweeniegenie14 For many years MadTV blew SNL out of the water, IMO. They were *great*.
+bigweeniegenie14 Damn right. Give these guys from MADTv a 100 year grant so they can kill that SNL limping dog of an unfunny show.
yes! please! i miss mad tv!
brianmichael sexy pic pa
Gamer punk yes and?
over ten years later and Im still laughing at this sketch, great scripting and acting
Oh god I'm dying!!!
This is on point! Nailed it!
THIS IS THE BEST ELLEN IMPRESSION I'VE EVER SEEN...
sciteart Is this an impression? I thought it was a documentary!
s
Absolutely brilliant satire. Catches Ellen's narcissism, and Madden's fatuous worship of football players.
And his no nonsense take on daytime talk shows! Lol
Frank Caliendo's John Madden and George W. Bush impressions always cracks me up!
MadTV women are Goddesses lmao
Very funny goddesses more specifically.
bunifa (latifah halifah sharifa jackson), lorraine, dot and vancome lady are national treasures!
Every impressionist wishes for that one signature impression that people never tire of seeing. Rich Little had Nixon, Gorshin had Kirk Douglas....and Calienda has Madden! Original.....and spot on accurate!
I love Kate McKinnon & she does some truly amazing impressions, but Nicole Parker has her beat when it comes to Ellen.
Her "dance party" music sounded like the background music for tennis on Wii sports..
they both absolutely crush their impressions LOL
Caliendo’s Madden is the greatest impression of a celebrity I’ve ever heard.
"im a british black man, that was sets me apart" my fave part. and when they danced at the end. loved it!
I can't believe how well she does Ellen. Her voice, eyes, actions, are spot on. I wonder if she ever did this character on Ellen's show.
If she did, Ellen would probably murder her, right then and there
Probably not because Ellen doesn't seem the type who can laugh at herself or take a joke aimed at her
Frank Caliendo is one of my MadTV's favourite actors
"I don't get this show.

Diogo Pereira u r so cute.
Proxima Centauri damn man that's your edit?! The original must have been pig latin?
jltaco85 fuck you you piece of shit human.
I think they offer alcohol to the audience.
To this day, that's still a spot on accurate description of her show.
She obviously watched it many times since she imperson ellen so good.
LMAO, she does the best impression of Ellen The ending cracked me up. When we come back, I'm going to try to raise one eyebrow. LOL. It's so stupid it's funny.
i think Nicole Parker (madtv) does a better Ellen then Kate McKinnon (SNL)
she's cute too
And has a nice booty and hips.
StevennDaCostaa definitely
She really does. She had the voice down perfectly. As well as everything else really.
But Nicole dances wayyyy better than Ellen while mimicking Ellen's dance stylings to a T. It's clear she has excellent rhythm, is very fluid, wouldn't be surprised to learn she has pro training.
impression was perfect
Lmfao I fucking almost pissed myself laughing when she started dancing under his hand
this episode was November 5, 2005
She's such a talented actress lol
"IM A BRITISH BLACK MAN" haha :D
L
That's what sets me apart
MAD TV has been off the air forever now and the older seasons, up until 2010, are still years better than SNL could ever be. Especially in in its' current state.
What sets mad tv apart(lol) is every cast member was a genius by themselves
"the best torso in football"..."Hey Ahmad, kick it with something fresh. Show us what sets you apart!" ROTFLMFBO
Being a huge fan of Madden, I think this guy nails it! He's funny as hell.
his madden is just off the charts sounds like hes drunk AF every time and its hilarious
Sooo why does SNL have the same sketches as MadTV.... this is like plagiarism... ??? 😟
SNL hired a couple of their writers after Seth and john left.
Some of the same writers...
@@pantarei8382 Wait a minute!! SNL hired some of the writers from Mad TV, and SNL of the 21st century still can't compete with Mad TV from seasons 3-11!?! Well, that says everything about SNL.

Mad was almost ALWAYS good. And so often GREAT. They didn't have "a lot of crappy sketches."
Fish
organboi totally agree!
I think snl has had more bad sketches than madtv in ratio to how long as it lasted.
I absolutely agree
Her impression of Ellen is spot on!
Damn she sounds just like ellen.
Remember that time when late night comedy sketch shows were actually funny without feeling the need to constantly ram their political views down our throats?
Absolutely perfect impressions ✌ this is why madtv was always my favorite
There's no actor on the planet that can pull off the complete lack of humor and general awkwardness of real Ellen.
Nicole did a good job. It's time Ellen was spoofed.
+Barbe Nicole?
Ebenezer Kalarama Yes. The actress pictured in this skit, her real name is Nicole.
+Barbe Oh...Nicole Parker...right you are...thinking Sullivan.
+derbigpr500 That is because she's a lesbian.
she actually looks like her.
A pretty version
Don't insult Nicole Parker like that, Nicole is actually pretty.
I love watching the Ellen show but this is just too accurate omfg. Nicole Parker is the best Ellen impersonator ever.
LOL, it's playing The Hustle when John Madden came out!!
I never thought I'd see a parody where John Madden is the smart one.
"are you high on drugs?" 😂😂😂
This.is.SPOT ON!
AGHH-BABAGH-AHHHHHH.
I don't get it. 😆 LOL
Hey John.. Cave Ellen's head in for us.
Even an impression of Ellen is too much annoyance to tolerate.
I really love SNL but watching MadTV skits is like entering a parallel universe where everything is much better and done the right way
I tell that to kids nowadays and they don't know what I'm talking about. I'm glad one of you came round
I agree. Madtv was really sophisticated and put alot more work in their sketches and characters
Screw SNL. Deep state propaganda machine.
This isn't even really a parody, it is so on point to what her show is. I don't really like Ellen or think she is funny but I do appreciate her humanitarian stuff.

+Tiffany Joy You don't like her but you watch her show? Why?
Metathronxyz I said so, I don't really know why and I like her humanitarian stuff.
+Metathronxyz I don't really know why so she must be good at something and I Ike her humanitarian stuff.
Have you ever seen her 2 stand up specials?? She's actually really funny in those.
humanitarian stuff is just used as a tax write off a lot of rich people hate paying tax so we donate money then use it as a tax write off so the government does not steal our money.
I like the way she keeps saying "boy, oh boy".
The funniest bit of the sketch is Joe Madden speaking gibberish. Gibberish madden.
IKR 😅😂🤣
She sound just like Ellen. 😂😂😂
The only time I laugh at Ellen is when somebody else is spoofing her
This skit is top shelf!
She is dead on !!!!!! I cant😂😂😂
Damn she did so great playing Ellen lmao
I have to keep rewatching the dancing, it's too good
She does Ellen better than Ellen
She is better than the Ellen from SNL. She looks and acts exactly like the real Ellen. Love it😍 😄
I saw both of Ellen's HBO comedy specials. I chuckled at best. That says a lot when a Mad TV legend impersonating you is funnier than you.
I never really found her funny, but then reading the stories that came out about how she treated/treats her employees and just people in general (including continually berating her boss's 10 year old son when he would visit when she was younger - who does that?), I really dislike her as a person. She sounds like she's very unpleasant away from the camera/in company she considers "beneath" her.
I want mad tv back!! :( i remember getting up late to watch it!! Great memories
This was such timeless commentary, just as relevant about Ellen today as it was 15 years ago
Her Ellen impression is so cute! 💕
Dude, she destroys her
My gawd...this is very spot on.
I miss madtv they need to bring back the good ones from 2000
Wait Ellen played Dory the snorkel and mask I can't with Mad🤣🙌
didnt realize her show has been on this long
Very good impressions
Wonderful cast and writer’s………… Miss them all……..
This is better than the average show of Ellen.
And Comedy Central had the audacity to name Ellen Degeneres in the top 20 greatest stand-up comedians of all time. WHAT!?! Seriously!?!
"When we come back, I'm gonna try and raise one eyebrow" LOL!
Madtv didn't get enough comedy credit
All these years still make me laugh out loud!
I've been watch it for over ten times, its still hilarious.
God I miss this show.
This generations doesn’t know who John Madden is
LMAO
Very funny ! One of the best you ever made !
I lost it at the goofy dances haahahh
She kind of favor Ellen 😂😂😂😂 She really nailed it playing Ellen 😂😂😂
Way better then the SNL ellen!
Yes
😂 I can NOT get enough of these John Madden skits..
😅
I mean IMEHIMEHIMEH you know?
Omg her impersonation is spot on. The. Best I ever seen.👌🏾👌🏾
John maden (frank conteldo) hilarious
Who would of thought that all that fish curiosity would of got Ellen a role in a movie playing a fish!!! Lol🤣
This is amazing! I LOVE IT!
OMG this is so good, best acting i've seen.
She really is better than Kate McKinnon. I bet Kate just watched this the night before her first Ellen impression
I like Ellen DeGeneres as a person, but this parody highlights the fact that her humor is subpar.
Thank you captain obvious
+PetroFor3 No problem, Sergeant Oblivious. (This is a joke.)
Ellen's the one Laughing. when she cashes those 8 figure cheques
Awesome impression!!!
This whole skit is great! Ellen's the best!!
Ellen DeSelfish lol!
The writers couldn't resist it. I remember a sketch from another show where I started thinking about the pun without the sketch referencing it. It was a great sketch but can't recall the name.
Fern Gully and John Gladden instead of Madden. 😂
Should have been shellfish with all that fish talk.
Ellen Degenerate
"dont you ever wish your name was John Gladden, like im really happy my name isnt Ellen De Selfish" best part LOL
LMAO... HER DANCES ARE SO AWESOME AND HILARIOUS!
This is so great!!!
That was spot on, lawls!
This is funnier than her latest stand up special.
Well done Mad TV, you really hit the nail on the head with this one!
so such a nice actors.... we missed them..
