MADtv (1995)	comment	MADtv is a Sketch Comedy show that aired on FOX on Saturday nights at 11:00 p.m. ETnote A full 30 minutes before Saturday Night Live, a fact that was lampshaded on a "MADtv" cold opening sketch where George W. Bush [played by Will Sasso] calls out SNL's Chris Kattan for his movie "Corky Romano" from 1995 to 2009. The show was based on MAD magazine despite having next to nothing to do with it after the third season. The show was produced for Fox by Warner Bros. Television, a sister company to MAD as Time Warner owns both.The show, after serving 14 years as Saturday Night Live's rival, was canceled by FOX in 2009, due to low ratings, budget constraints, and the surge in popularity SNL experienced from the 2008 Presidential election.There were claims that the show would seek a new life on cable TV. This first manifested itself as the 2010-2014 Cartoon Network animated sketch show MAD (which, unlike MADtv, is more in line with the magazine's humor and art style) and is a kids' show. The CW delivered an actual revival of the series in 2016. Sadly, the CW revival was met with low ratings and a lukewarm to downright cold reception and was canceled after eight episodes that same year.MADtv aired in reruns on Comedy Central (as a replacement for the Saturday Night Live reruns that once aired on the channel) and the Canadian sister channel Comedy Network until 2010.The show's first season was available on DVD under Warner Bros. label. Despite a preview for a season two DVD set, Warner Bros. stopped releasing the show due to poor sales. In 2012, Shout! Factory swooped in and agreed to release MADtv's second, third, and fourth season (and the iTunes Store has seasons 13 and 14 available for anyone who wants them).As of 2020, MADtv is on the streaming service HBO Max (though only the fourteen seasons from FOX are available and of the 321 episodes that aired on FOX, only 216 are included).Not to be confused with the video game of the same name.Has the makings of a character page that Needs Wiki Magic Love.

MADtv (1995) / int_16ddefda	type	Alcohol-Induced Idiocy
MADtv (1995) / int_16ddefda	comment	Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: There are quite a number of sketches making fun of inebriated people. A sketch portraying a drunk man (Michael McDonald) where his perception of his own actions and dialogue is very different from what everyone else is seeing. From his perception, he sounded civil, but everyone else including his girlfriend/date (Nicole Parker) find him rude and offensive. Finally, when he encounters a policeman (Jordan Peele), he attempted to reach out for his gun and got knocked out by the policeman instead. Arden Myrin act as a "wingwoman" for Bobby Lee in his attempt to get to talk to Kat Von D. The problem was: 1) In a previous sketch, Bobby Lee tried that with other girls and Arden drove them away, and 2) Arden Myrin had been drinking heavily. Bobby eventually succeeded with Kat Von D, but not without some ridiculous antics from Arden. Cast member Nicole Parker had played various roles where she was seen drinking or was drunk, and got herself into ridiculous/comedic antics as a result. For instance, she played Rachael Ray who started flirting with the waiter (Jordan Peele) when she got drunk. The idiocy became obvious when one realizes that Rachael Ray is a married woman. Another instance was her playing someone who was left in a hungover state after her late night drinking, as a result screwing up her powerpoint slides and humiliating both herself and her boss (Frank Caeti). Played straight and inverted when a lowly bagel maker (David Herman) goes on a bender that ends with him running for president, winning, and getting a second term. Played straight by the fact that he engages in typical drunken antics, but inverted in that he also becomes one of the greatest U.S. presidents in history (except for the fact that, naturally, alcoholism has become a huge national problem).

MADtv (1995) / int_1e584efa	comment	Cruel and Unusual Death: In the Sesame Street parody sketch featuring the bird flu, Big Bird was doused in gasoline and was about to be set on fire with a lighter. His victims are contrast are killed rather quickly and painlessly, judging from the huge amount of bodies that are in the wheelbarrow soon after he gets the bird flu. Maybe "death" isn't the right word, but the Aussie Hunter claymation skits feature an Australian conservationist couple getting brutally dismembered, skinned, crushed, gored, and eaten in various gory and disturbing ways. It would be outright horrifying if not for the fact they seem to keep a chipper attitude even as they're torn apart by sharks or peeled like a banana by gorillas.

MADtv (1995) / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy / Gallows Humor: Had it sparingly in the first couple seasons, but was packed with it from season 3 to the end. While Saturday Night Live does have its moments of morbid and politically incorrect humor, MADtv was more in-your-face with it and often went to places that not even SNL would (which is why some fans do prefer this show over SNL). The below are just a few dark examples among the many: A commercial where a other (Nicole Parker) promotes the use of RU-486 (An abortion pill) and making wistful statements about how great it would be if her daughter didn't exist. Will Sasso and Bobby Lee portraying a couple of guys pretending to be gay to score with girls. Over the years, it turned out that Will Sasso's character is actually gay and is just manipulating Bobby Lee's character to continue a homosexual lifestyle with him. Tony Soprano (Frank Caliendo) lost his patience with the appointed translator Bae Sung (Bobby Lee) and murdered him with the Chinese Mafia's support. Bae Sung's corpse was then grounded up into meat which became part of a hamburger served to Bobby Lee himself. The many "Demonstration goes awry" sketches which feature either Wendy Walker, Paul Timberman or John Madden.

She is, of course, fired, but as a parting shot reveals a bit of the mall Santa's indiscretions with her and then tears off his fake beard.

The fake movies and TV series shown in the Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress A.D., Son of Dolemite and Funkenstein segments. While they parody different genres, they usually all involve awful acting, terrible editing, invoked ridiculous action scenes, inexplicable plot developments and terrible special effects that have to be seen to be believed. Funkenstein parodies black remakes of monster movies like Blacula and stars Funkenstein and his maker, Dr. Funkenstein, who encounter black parodies of the Universal Horror monsters, like the Invisible Man and werewolf hookers. Son of Dolemite parodies blaxploitation movies such as, well, Dolemite. Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress A.D. parodies female-led action-fantasy series like Sheena (2000) and Xena: Warrior Princess and is about two Cro-Magnon sisters, a present-day fashion model, and Zamula, a scientist from the future who can't pronounce words properly, who are transported into the past and transformed into "Glamazon Huntresses".

When a fourth guy walks in, they ask him why he hates being a postman, but he turns out to be a robber. They use their guns to arrest him and are hailed as heroes, and the government makes firearms mandatory for all postal workers.

At the end it's revealed that both of them are gay. The first gangster was just concerned that the other was still involved with another guy. In another, a trio of mafia men are introduced to a new capo, who has a reputation for being scary and ruthless. He repeatedly berates the three of them for certain transgressions, but each time he gradually starts speaking like an effeminate gay man, and when he's finished, leaves the room for a little while. This eventually causes the gangsters to notice that their new boss is certainly scary, but gets a little "elegant" in his tirades. Finally, when the boss threatens to kill one of them they are suddenly interrupted by two policemen, but these also turn out to be camp gay.

Exaggerated crying and shouting matches are the norm in many sketches, and the below are just a few examples. Most prominently seen in the sketches featuring the bickering married couple (Ike Barinholtz and Mo Collins), where the two almost always scream their lines at each other in an over-the-top manner. The camcorder sketch had two quarreling neighbors (Michael McDonald and Mo Collins vs Will Sasso and Stephnie Weir) shouting their lines at each other while holding their camcorders. Cast member Nicole Parker had a few sketches where the comedy was focused on her over-the-top emotional outbursts, examples being her reactions when being told that she should see a doctor for her bad breath, describing Bobby Lee's nudity, or when she was told that her date is two-timing another girl. Inverted in the sketch spoofing Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where the actors/actresses deliberately underact as a way of satirizing how fake both the family and show is.

Apart from all the makeup it requires, he does enjoy the role. The whole "typecasting" thing was lovingly mocked on MADtv early in that show's run, when Englund did a guest spot for a Halloween Episode. During his appearance, everyone kept describing Englund, as his big claim to fame, his other famous genre role of "Willie", the comic relief alien from V (1983). Englund responds quite angrily, pointing out to each cast member who calls him "Willie", that he played Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street films. But everyone keeps referring to him as "The guy who played Willie on V" instead of "the Nightmare On Elm Street guy", much to his dismay and anger. Cast member Bobby Lee is often the butt of jokes involving Asian stereotypes. Recurring characters Bae Sung and Blind Kungfu Master comes to mind, along with many other one-time characters.

MADtv (1995) / int_78270847	comment	Curse Cut Short: In the PAX TV syndicated version of The Sopranos, all the profanity and other risque material are rather conspicuously edited out. At one point there's 20 seconds of uninterrupted profanity between the mobsters, all cut out. The closing lines by the faux PAX TV point out that such censorship of The Sopranos will only result in a 3-minute episode which was pretty much how long the sketch lasted.

MADtv (1995) / int_78c895c8	comment	Amusing Injuries: One sketch featuring Inside The Actor's Studio has James Lipton (Will Sasso) getting beaned by a stage light just before he was to interview Tara Reid. In spite of being left a bloody mess and obviously suffering from brain damage, he insists that The Show Must Go On. Some of his non-sequitors and other hijinks include dancing a jig with the stage director, imagining that Tara was the late George Peppard (who had been dead for nearly a decade by that time), believing that her film, National Lampoon's Van Wilder, was named National Lampoon's Vacation with a Vampire, and watching the nonexistent "clip" from the film while moving it around to various places. The do-it-yourself project skits involve the host trying to make something only to get injured in one way or another with loads of Gorn thrown in them mix.

The veteran suggests aiming for him instead of the thug and just ends up getting shot in the nut-sack. He declares that he'd rather take his chances with the blade, which is kind of dull, but the rookie cop insists he's not letting the thug get away. The thug eventually decides to leave the scene and he walks way. The rookie "pursues," but no matter how close he gets, he can't achieve the shot and the ricochet bounces to hit the veteran. The thug picks up a penny off the ground and leaves. The rookie cop calls for medical aid for the veteran, but reaches Domino's Pizza instead.

MADtv (1995) / int_a1d48853	comment	Melvin Dufrane (Jordan Peele) debuted in late seasons of MADtv. The character is a stupid crook whose shtick is a combination of this trope with Accidental Public Confession. He would approach the police (Keegan-Michael Key, Dan Oster, or Johnny Sanchez) to report a crime committed by another person, and during the process of describing it he will openly confess to crimes he himself committed, seemingly without understanding his own actions are breaking the law. These sketches ended with Melvin getting arrested and lamenting that he must be the biggest idiot ever. Another sketch featured him in a parody of Chris Hansen's To Catch a Predator, where Chris Hansen (Michael McDonald) confronts him but fails to intimidate him because unlike other sexual predators, Melvin Dufrane freely and shamelessly admitted to his crimes, encouraged Chris to join him for a threesome, and even welcomed the camera crew filming him. This sketch too, ended with Melvin getting arrested but this time seemingly unaware of it.

MADtv (1995) / int_af8a9084	comment	Black Is Bigger in Bed: Parodied in the "Flashlight" sketch, where two white guys whose car break down try to get a flashlight to work that requires shaking it for a while in a very masturbatory fashion. When they're interrupted by two cops (one black, one asian) who think they just ran into a bunch of gays trying to get their groove on, the black cop whips out an enormous flashlight that impresses the two white guys. In what can be considered the inverse ethnic stereotype, the Asian cop then presents a rechargeable penlight.

MADtv (1995) / int_b0bce7aa	comment	Selective Obliviousness: Melvin Dufrane (Jordan Peele) debuted in late seasons of MADtv. The character is a stupid crook whose shtick is a combination of this trope with Accidental Public Confession. He would approach the police (Keegan-Michael Key, Dan Oster, or Johnny Sanchez) to report a crime committed by another person, and during the process of describing it he will openly confess to crimes he himself committed, seemingly without understanding his own actions are breaking the law. These sketches ended with Melvin getting arrested and lamenting that he must be the biggest idiot ever. Another sketch featured him in a parody of Chris Hansen's To Catch a Predator, where Chris Hansen (Michael McDonald) confronts him but fails to intimidate him because unlike other sexual predators, Melvin Dufrane freely and shamelessly admitted to his crimes, encouraged Chris to join him for a threesome, and even welcomed the camera crew filming him. This sketch too, ended with Melvin getting arrested but this time seemingly unaware of it.

MADtv (1995) / int_b3a49cdb	comment	Satire: While the majority of sketches never really try to go any further than provoking cheap laughs, there are some sketches which makes social or political references, although ultimately the comedy takes precedence first and foremost. Examples as listed: Michael McDonald playing the role of a coach awarding participation trophies to the team even though they had a dismal showing, calling them "snowflakes". Stephnie Weir as awkward teen Angela who conducted social experiments to prove that society is racist/fat-shaming but failed to yield any result besides gradually exposing her own prejudices. Steve Jobs presenting a malfunctioning product cleverly named "iRack". Fox News' coverage of the Iraq War, police killing innocent black civilians in Los Angeles, and the U.S Presidential Election back in 2008. The Bible Dude sketches (Title role portrayed by Michael McDonald) appears to be a parody of Bibleman and more accurately a satire of Christian Fundamentalism. A fat woman (Portrayed by Crista Flanagan) refused to believe that dieting and exercising can help her lose weight. Bobby Lee's Average Asian sketches, which can be potentially misunderstood as making fun of asians but is in fact making fun of American ignorance in perpetuating Asian stereotypes. Not mentioned are the many, many other sketches that attack pop culture figures or celebrities. Cast member Nicole Sullivan claimed that the show did managed to offend other celebrities, which didn't put the MadTV cast members in a good light.

Her rather open-minded parents (apparently suffering a mid-life crisis) tell her that they did the same thing when they were young, but have regretted it ever since. They advise her to do the polar opposite instead: have sex with as many partners as possible, preferably at the same time and while doing cocaine, and never use a condom.

The targets are Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek, Friends, ER, The King of Queens, The Drew Carey Show, Becker, Just Shoot Me!, Touched by an Angel, Charmed, ED, Yes, Dear, Judging Amy, The Practice, The View, 7th Heaven, JAG, Big Brother, According to Jim, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Crossing Jordan, and the channels that show them. It's capped off with "Em" declaring that MADtv is the best show on TV. Wow. A recurring character, Darlene McBride, was a caricature of hyperconservative Country Music singers, including one Christmas album in which she gifts her sons - John and Wayne - an AK-47 each, and each of her songs is more offensive than the last (including "White Power Christmas" and "Jesus Was Never a Jew"). One Ms. Swan sketch has her looking for a movie with a specific actor who "look-a like a man." The clerk responds that rules out Leonardo DiCaprio.

Son of Dolemite parodies blaxploitation movies such as, well, Dolemite. Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress A.D. parodies female-led action-fantasy series like Sheena (2000) and Xena: Warrior Princess and is about two Cro-Magnon sisters, a present-day fashion model, and Zamula, a scientist from the future who can't pronounce words properly, who are transported into the past and transformed into "Glamazon Huntresses".

It's introduced by one of the actors, "Slave Girl #8" (she's the only one who's still alive),note Only she actually wasn't, as Olivia de Havilland would still live a good many years after this sketch aired who has to re-enact the racial stereotype of her previous role, which she eventually notes is kind of degrading. In the first ending, Rhett goes on a profanity-laden tirade after Scarlett begs him not to leave, and punches her in the stomach before walking off in disgust ("Audiences didn't like that ending at all"). In the second one, Rhett, Scarlett, and some of the soldiers and slaves suddenly break into a dance number. In the third one, Rhett just gets on a broom and flies off, and Scarlett follows him on a jetpack on the advice of Abraham Lincoln and a talking penguin ("It's a mystery to me why they filmed this last ending at all"). There was a similar one done with The Sound of Music. In the first ending the von Trapp family were shot and killed by the Nazis (which the audience was appalled by, especially the children's deaths). In the second the Von Trapps join the Nazis (this ending was popular only in Germany, Argentina, and parts of the Midwestern United States). In the last one the kids fight back with X-Men-style superpowers. There's also a sketch depicting a single alternate ending for The Wizard of Oz; in it Dorothy reacts with increasing levels of anger to Glinda's confessions that she always had the power to get back home and that she wanted to teach her a lesson, culminating in a violent altercation.

MADtv (1995) / int_d9cf40fa	comment	Screw This, I'm Outta Here: There's a sketch where an escaped convict invades a home party, only for the residents to creatively interpret his 'demands' (he hadn't even made any yet) as forcing them all to have sex with each other. The confused home invader vehemently protests this, but eventually becomes so disgusted by their antics that he runs off. They decide to keep going anyway just in case he comes back.

MADtv (1995) / int_dbfd6b8	comment	Lyrical Dissonance: If you like gangsta rap and barbershop quartet music, you probably wish you could listen to them both at the same time. Spishak Records can do that for you with the "Gangsta Shop Quartet", gangsta songs about carjacking, murder, and prostitution, all arranged as barbershop quartet medleys. Timeless classics to enjoy with that special someone, or for when the whole gang is over.

Timbaland discovers he got an STD from having had unprotected sex with Furtado, and they end up concluding it's their own fault. It actually has a good point to make about the likely consequences of holding promiscuity up as a virtue.

MADtv (1995) / int_e18a3c59	comment	Hilarious Outtakes: Unsurprisingly. The "iRack" sketch had an outtake where the rack in question literally fell apart after Steve Jobs (Michael McDonald) tried forcing things onto it. This clearly ruined the whole sketch that would make improvisation hard if not impossible. One of the show's worst instances of corpsing goes to an outtake for the Sesame Street parody sketches, where Gordon, Sally and Billy (Played by Keegan Michael Key, Crista Flanagan and Bobby Lee respectively) did a dance number about internet pedophiles and prison rape. They completely failed to hold back their own laughter while attempting to sing and dance, as a result flubbing their lines. At the end of the outtake Bobby Lee fell down when he couldn't take it any longer and the Big Bird actor at the back was seen shaking, presumably in laughter too.

This was basically the whole point of the Average Asian sketches featuring Bobby Lee. His character constantly had to endure other Non-Asian Americans' innocent or even at times well-meaning perception of Asians. It got to a point where he got so offended by his birthday party guests that he embraced his stereotypes by calling the Ninjas in to chase them away.

Coincidentally, there was a real life board game based on Monopoly that was sort of like this: "Ghettopoly", set in an inner-city criminal neighborhood. For obvious reasons, there was a public backlash and the game was discontinued. There was also a Monopoly parody they had called Welfare, in which rich people can experience what it's like to be lower-middle class.
