I always laughed so hard watching this. What’s your favorite?

The GAP "How Do You Wear It?" parody from September 2004.

"She's the Head of the Khaki Committee!"

Anything involving Debra Wilson.

Her parodies of Oprah, Whitney, Mariah, Beyoncé, along with her Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson character... the show wasn't the same after she left.

I knew R1 's post would be popular. I like this one with Keegan-Michael Key as a cop making a traffic stop.

Lowered Expectations with Keanu

Andrew Bowen had a great smile!

Porn star registration 😂😂😂

Talented cast, and was actually a pretty good spoof of the show down to little things like Sam's leg kick when kissing Darrin.

The parody of Whitney's December 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer:

Making fun of Madonna's 2003 GAP commercial:

Debra Wilson was out of this world funny. Where has she been recently?

My God, can you imagine what spoofs they'd be doing of Madonna NOW? That one was vicious. I'm actually really amazed by how well they matched her singing voice.

The OP’s skit is just BRUTAL 😲

I don't understand why this show went off the air. Although I know it wasn't live, why couldn't it survive like SNL by bringing in new cast members/writers to keep it going?

I stopped watching the show a while ago... probably around the Jordan Peele/Keegan Michael Key era, but it apparently kept airing until at least two years ago. I checked out some of the sketches and they're a slog.

To cleanse the palette, here's their parody of The Ashlee Simpson show. I loved their MTV parodies.

There were a few skits concerning 2003's 'Boy Meets Boy' -

I loves me some Miz Jenkins.

Fire Marshall Bill

And don't forget the original JLo as a Fly Girl, before she became a thespian.

Someone please post the Gilmore girls parody that was fucking hilarious

R17 Stuart was a classic. On that note Barron Trump always makes me think of Stuart. There's definitely a resemblance.

Here's the Gilmore Girls sketch.

I literally identify this show with Michael MacDonald as Andra.

He also has a podcast somewhere where he tells this story about the time he got hired as Faye Dunaway's comedy coach for an audition. Its HYSTERICAL.

Mad TV could be too coarse at times. However, at its best it was much funnier, subversive and "true to life "than snl ever was. Even it's original characters were way funnier. Snl is for people obsessed with politics while mad TV captured the humor and absurdity in every day life and pop culture. One thing that always irritated me was the relative lack of success the mad TV actors had after the show ended. I can't understand why gifted comedic actors like Michael McDonald and Stephanie Weir and mo Collins went off the radar while less talented comedic performers like Tina Fey and Amy poehler keep getting cast.

R23 " Now is this funny or is this just fast? " Gilmore girls in a nutshell. They really captured the unnatural, manic speech patterns of the characters.

My favorite Mo Collins sketch.

Does anyone have a link to "Reality Check" Writers on Mad TV weren't afraid to write stupid shit which wasn't always funny. SNL suffers from too many "safe" rewrites and lackluster characters . Stuart ??? No one compares with him

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this one yet.

The Wizard of Oz sketch had me hollering!

What the world needs now, is rugs, Persian rugs ...

Before Dave Chappelle did Rick James, Phil LaMarr did it.

R25 Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will continue to get work because SNL is like an Ivy League school for comedians. Because it has been on the air for over 40 years, it has produced numerous comedians, writers, producers and other behind-the-scenes people. SNL graduates can rely on this network to keep getting jobs.

I hadn't heard of Julia Sweeney for quite some time but she is going to play Aidy Bryant's mom in a new show produced by Lorne Michaels.

Also, the way that each SNL show is put together every week is unique. From what I've read, SNLers have the opportunity to produce their own sketches from scratch and they same this is an invaluable learning opportunity. This gives them the skills and confidence to write and produce their own stuff after they leave the show.

The Madonna/Britney duet is legendary.

Amazon huntresses was absolutely hilarious

The Fesserlippinchip-Chalkwitheringlicktacklefeff Foundation.

Debra Wilson should have become a huge star.

Not sure why the comment box chose to hyphenate, but: Chalkwitheringlicktacklefeff.

Who here has had Michael McDonald? Is he a butch bottom or femme top?

Randy Newman doing a Christmas album

MadTV ALWAYS had that grifting Anne Heche's number!

Somebody please post the lost parody and the Dr Phil Britney Spears episode.

Just one more toe knuckle for Jesus!

This is always fucking hilarious!

The Darlene McBride skits are perfection! And very timely for this MAGA dump we live in.

Darlene McBride's Greatest Hits:

Darlene McBride's Thanksgiving Special:

"Hilary The Red-Horned Clinton" by Darlene McBride could be played at MAGA rallies today!

Darlene & Marlene McBride:

Sorry! Here are Darlene & Marlene McBride!

Thank you r49 r50 r51 r53 . These are fucking classics and I don't think snl has ever made me laugh as hard (though I don't hate snl )

That’s My White Momma was funny.

'Trading Spaces' spoof with a perfect take on Paige Davis:

This skit was so hilarious to me.

Kenny Rogers’ Punk’d. Clay Aiken kicked in the balls, hiliarious.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

They even went after John and Patsy.

Yvonne Criddle. Found this on youtube. I stopped watching after Debra Wilson left.

I almost pissed in my pants from laughing so hard watching these clips

Chaaaaa ... ya know what?

I was RAISED on the dairy, BITCH!

Lorraine and Stuart are my faves

Debra Wilson’s Catwoman skits were hilarious.

This was one of my favorites of Stefanie.

r20 -- PLEASE tell me you're not being serious.

[quote]To cleanse the palette

Oh, dear.

WHET Aries Spears? He was GORGEOUS.

Great writing but, Anna Nicole aside, I always found the celebrity impersonations lazy. Britney Spears with a hick accent? Hardly. She had an early case of vocal fry, actually.

Jesus! I'd forgotten how vicious and mean some of these skits could be. You just know that had some good gay writers on staff. They're funnier than anything I've seen on SNL on 20 years and they'd NEVER get away with most of these skits today. Hell, some people would probably think the Darlene McBride skits were serious and rake the writers and actors through the coals on Twitter.

R4 the bleakest and most accurate skit Debra ever did was the Whitney/Bobby MTV Cribs. Her Whit is flaw-free.

The Lillian Verner Game Show

My son lives Barbra Streisand

I pray he isn't gay!

But me, I only love one thing

And that's the NRA!

😂😂😂😂😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣

MadTV, In Living Color and Second City TV were FUNNY! unlike SNL

Anything with the Vancome Lady (probably mentioned before)

Perhaps the first Vancome Lady segment?

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Pretty perfect but there's another one that's even better.

Phil LaMarr as the UBS guy.

The surrealism of the Brightlings and their souped-up wheelchairs

It's The Big-Ass Pumpkin, Chuckie Brown, featuring the Chocolate-Covered Peanuts: 'I'm going to stick a firecracker up that dog's ASS!'

The skit at r89 was one of the best anti-PC segments ever.

Kenny Rogers' Testicle Exam: 'Maybe it's just that they DON'T KNOW HOW!'

7 AM Condo Report, Hurricane special: 'I'm in the eye of the storm, but I've got the eye of the tiger!'

More of this gal. I loved her on this "Whose sunglasses are those."

Damn R99 you beat me to that one. The "Black Jesus" part cracks me up.

The old lady pharmacist. "Who has the vaginal dryness? VAGINAL DRYNESS?"

Girlicious, the parody of the revolutionary group of sluts, The Pussycat Dolls. "I began dancing the day I saw my mom and dad get shot!". This left me convinced that Keegan-Michael Key could do drag professionally. I also deeply wish that "Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress A.D." was an actual series ("Hun-Tress-Es!")

Dr Phil

Couldn’t get any more funny than this

Sexual harassment- 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hour 22 of the Eggsclusive Eggs Week!

I think this was the first Britney parody and I think it’s still the best.

I Like both Oz skits but the first one is unbelievable!

Could they even attempt a skit like that today? They’d probably just get driven off TV.

Wedding video. Women are weird

MadTV was awesome. I laughed at all the videos posted here.

Alex Borstein's Björk at R3 is brilliant.

Can’t get any better than this. A dig at white privilege. Madtv did it 1st

No love for Ms. Bunny Swan?

I feel so bad for the fat woman in the OP’s post 😂

For all the attention and critical acclaim snl has received over the years, when was the last time any of their sketches had you in tears like these mad TV sketches? Yes, snl makes me laugh but not in the deep, laugh till it hurts way .

I keep trying to find the video of Trina in Collecting Collectables. I'm recalling the reveal that she can't get pregnant due to a flushing mishap in an airplane bathroom. If anyone can find it, that'd be great. In the meantime:

Cottage Life still gets a few laughs out of me. The frau doesn’t get that her housemate is a lesbian, and is attracted to her.

Debra Wilson is a freaking genius, love her Oprah. This Jackass parody is so funny!

Kappa Kappa Kappa and their makeover.

The Hilary -Obama music video remains a go to when I need a laugh.

It was great the first 6-7 seasons.

Something seemed to go down backstage when Mo Collins left suddenly, then a whole host of the original cast followed.

But Debra Wilson was the best. I wonder if she had a breakdown or something, because she has literally disappeared into the ether.

Debra Wilson appeared in the recent MadTV revival on the CW. She has done a ton of voice work and also made lots of indie movies I've never heard of. So she's been around, she hasn't quit the biz or anything like that. But it's sad that she hasn't appeared in much of anything that elevated her to the level she deserves. It's been that way with most of the amazing female cast members of the show, unfortunately. I think Alex Borstein has been the most successful.

R131 lol! I had forgotten about that. The song is bizarrely catchy, almost as much as the original Rihanna song.

Ms. Swan's disco fantasy never fails me.

Hamburger Helper commercial

Big John's Shirt and Tie Barn

This is Highlerious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Sound of Music DVD extras, with Michael McDonald's uncanny interpretation of Christopher Plummer.

"Brigitte... teleport..."

3 Minute Meals - Tuna Melts.

I almost passed my pants from laughing so hard

Madonna "Movies" with Mo Collins

Passed them to whom R147?

Evander Holyfield KO collection on QVC

I found the madtv casts are very talented. SNL sucks compared to MadTv.

Angela, Natalie and Billy attempt to get on AFHV

R15 MADtv ended in 2009 after 14 years on the air. The CW revived it in 2016 with a new cast (although some original cast members returned as hosts), but it was quickly canceled. I guess you can't capture magic twice, especially in this day and age where comedy is stifled.

Thanks, OP, for posting this thread. I've been laughing so hard! I was a regular viewer but forgot how wild and crazy it was. The Darlene MacBride clips are priceless.

The MAD TV cast was brilliant. SNL can't hold a candle to it. Yes, it has its moments but I always preferred MAD TV.

Debra Wilson was amazing, a true comic genius. I met her once after she left the show. She was a judge at the World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma. The contest was over (they judged real dogs) and she was just hanging around in the crowd. I went over to her and told her how much I loved her on MAD TV and how sorry I was she left the show. She was so tiny, totally wired, and very talkative. She told me how after all those years on the show she asked for more money and they refused to give it to her so she left. It was so poignant. I'm glad she's been steadily working (checked her bio on IMDB) but she deserved to do a lot better. Such a huge talent.

I also loved Aries Spears, Michael McDonald, Mo Sullivan (especially Stuart and his mom). Really, all of them. I haven't had tome to watch all the clips but I'll certainly be returning again and again.

The only thing funnier than Debra Wilson's Whitney impression is Debra Wilson's Mariah impression:

Re Stuart: You can tell satire is dead when you read in the comments people saying it's bad/awful to make fun of autistic people or men-children who still live with their mother because of mental issues. These idiots don't realize that Stuart is supposed to be a small child. He's just being played by grown man. And he acts like that because he's spoiled rotten. His mother is trying to overcompensate for the father walking out on them.

R159 I was talking to someone the other day about how movies like Airplane and Blazing Saddles would never be made now because our society is too sissified and PC. Can you imagine the frauen shrieking over a little white girl saying she likes her coffee black like her men?
