The first several seasons and the first few cast changes of Mad TV, yes, most definitely. Then it went to shit. SNL still does decent skits here or there. Mostly it's who happens to be the guest star and how well the writers can do for them. Plus unlike MadTV, SNL still has to mind it's manners so to speak.
It's the difference between live and pre-recorded shows. You can always reshoot stuff it doesn't land with your test audiences over and over again. Then when it's good enough, you release it for air.

the only reason people feel that way is because society pressures them to marry then they end up marrying the wrong person. Some people actually marry the right person but it’s rare
I was almost as mad as Rick after I tried zoosk for one month then canceled my membership. I wasn't mad cuz nobody on there wanted to go out with me, because I wasn't impressed with any guys on there either. But I still wanted my money back. That was ten years ago. As bad as things were then, the dating pool looked like a dream come true compared to what it is now. *SIGH* Oh well. Just enjoy this parody for how realistic it actually is. Lol😂
@@aprilandpedro9823 10 years ago I stood a chance in the dating pool, the bar was gradually raised so high I couldn’t see it anymore. Being at peace with myself for letting that go was a liberating decision.
Soooo many Ricks on dating apps. One guy wanted to meet in an hour. I said we should plan something another time. He said “you sound high maintenance” and went away. 😂
Fun Fact: Mad TV had a 3D glasses competition for the "Son of the Mask" movie premier, which is why those graphics appeared on Ginger Snap's face. You had to call the number that came with your 3D glasses once you saw the three images to win the prize. I believe the prize was a walk through role in the movie.
Thank you for mentioning this! Kinda interesting, the sfx they used would be similar to something you could expect from The Mask or Som of the Mask; eyeballs popping out and a green monster-like face.
"That song about the guy from Who's The Boss: Hold me closer Tony Danza.." (I used to think there was a song about how to find the restroom in a dark, crowded bar: There's a Bathroom On the Right..)
Willow is now a married cosplayer with 4 kids. She hooked up with Chanin. They do family cosplays at New York and San Diego Comic Cons, and kill. it. every. time. And we ain't even gonna talk about what they do for ren-faires.
This brought back so many awesome memories. The Ginger Snaps goofy CGI thing was a marketing ploy for The Mask coming out on home video if I remember right. Several shows on Fox had it injected into an episode. I remember the commercials advertising it.
Oh sweet summer child; trans people have existed for ages; it's not a recent phenomena. There was even a movie about it back in the '50s titled Glen or Glenda.
@@ConservativeGrouch What made MAD TV so funny is that the actors did not care about so called "Sensitivities" they poked fun into everyone and everything... it was about the art not about the " Sensitivities".

SHE knows a loser when she sees one.
I don't think Mad TV got enough love. This is a prime example of how good their skits are.
I mean, it ran from 1995 to 2016. I'd say that's a decent amount of love.
I liked the original cast best. it started going downhill when they started getting new cast members.
Every three episodes there was one quality skit
Same as In Living Color
I think the lack of love is because MadTV aired on Fox
No it didn't ❤ but I think why some of us still really love it
You know what's depressing, these are supposed to be ridiculous but compared to what's out there in 2024 these are marriage material.
These were supposed to be caracitures of the extremely weird people you'd never meet. Now most of these people would fit right in
