Mad TV was way funnier than SNL. Aries Spears was hilarious

I loved madtv! SNL wasn't better than In Living Color or Madtv.

Debra Wilson was the heart and soul of that show her Whitney Houston impression is the greatest impression I’ve ever seen

So basically: *Greedy executives kill a good thing as usual.*

Mad TV really put up and coming comedians and voice actors like Phil LaMarr and Nicole Sullivan on the map. Great show and it’s way better than SNL👍🏾

Mad TV was a generational game changer. It was ripped off of “House of Buggin,” but it was (at one point) the funniest show on TV. I wish Debra Wilson got her more money though 🤷🏾‍♂️

MAD TV wasnt In Living Color but for a time it seemed ptetty close and the stars they created were impressive as hell which is why I never understood why they didnt go all in to keep it going

MADtv was light years funnier than SNL's funniest skits

I remember rushing to get home when I was a kid to watch Mad Tv Bobbie lee was and still is one of my favorite comics.

"Stewart" and "he Looka likea a Man" was my two favorite joints on Mad TV 😂😂😂

There was a time when Mad TV was on top, especially those first 5 seasons.

MadTv will ALWAYS be a CLASSIC!❤

I used to laugh hard at the Klops sketches, Aries Spears with another actress spin on The Wizard Of Oz, where he played a slave, and Debra Wilson potrayal of Oprah#BringThe90sBack!

Mad tv will always be better than Saturday night live

We also gotta pay more Homage to Phil Lamar And Orlando Jones. when talking about MAD TV.Those 2 brothas were also very early greats of the show but underated legends in todays conversations. Overall every cast member of MAD are legends..

I used to love MadTv. Ms. Swan was my girl😂

I say all the time that Will Sasso should've been a big star. He was to Mad TV what Will Ferrell was to SNL but Will Sasso was more talented.

This show was so superior to SNL. It never fails to amaze me that network executives would pay themselves before reinvestment in the product. Artist are always expected to do more with less.

Growing up in a very strict Christian household, I use to have to sneak and watch MadTV!! I loved this show so much, I think this is why I have my love for Comedy to this day!!!!

Stuart, Miss Swan, and the Vancome Lady were my favorite characters on MadTV. One of my favorite skits is when Hillary Clinton did a music video (take on Rihanna’s “Umbrella”) and she pretty much confessed she wanted to sleep with Obama. As soon as they started changing the cast I stopped watching.

Vintage Mad Is always the best

I never missed an episode when I was old enough to watch it, and the ones I did miss I recorded and cried laughing every time. SNL was nowhere near close to touching this. I wished a better network had them.

MadTv was a great show and i stayed up every saturday night to watch it. But I quit in like 2004 after all the changes

“I have a cat named cece!” “Look what I can do!” “He looka like a man!” “tchaa, you know what?!” So many quotes from MadTV.

Mad TV was hilarious!!!! Fox should’ve supported it better. I remember watching Mad and SNL and going “I can’t watch SNL anymore, if im gonna watch a whole episode and not laugh once, it’s a waste of my time.” I didn’t have that problem with MAD

"That's my white Momma" was the most insane skit ever! Artie Lang is a legend. The original cast was amazing. Will Sasso as Steven Seagal was Funny Asf!

The amount of talent from even the first season of MadTV is almost unbelievable. Will Sasso, Michael McDonald, Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Phil Lamar, Debra Wilson, Pat Kilbane, Key and Peele, so many legends. And they didn't get the appreciation they deserved and often still don't. Thank you for the YEARS of comedy you provided me and millions of others throughout our childhoods and beyond.

After the original cast was gone it was not funny anymore

They all have to get their flowers because this show was hilarious!! Debra Wilson, Aries Spears, Michael McDonald, Mo Collins, Phil Lamar, Nicole Sullivan, Orlando Jones, Will Sasso (Kenny Rogers 😂) and Alexandra Borstein ALL carried the show.💐💐💐💐💐

Let's be truthful, MADTV was on FOX, the same FOX that canned In Living Color, cause Keena Wayans was a strong, powerful black man who wasn't going to let them run his show. MADTV thought the same was as Keena, the right way, so FOX did what they always do, can a great sketch show. If MADTV was on Comedy Central Saturday Night Live would be off the air, and MADTV would be pumping out great sketches/talent.

I always thought mad tv was funnier than snl

Hell I'll Take Reruns Of MadTV Over Robot Chicken and With the departure of Squidbillies that's going to be Adult Swim's longest series

i will FOREVER hold a grudge for not allowing jordan peele to leave BECAUSE OF A STUPID CONTRACT!

I used to live for In living color and Mad tv.

I remember living color and mad tv I still follow Bobby Lee in his podcast and what mo collins does, I mean all of them are great talents, and its a shame that they didn't continue supporting the show and yes it was raunchier and sarcastic and smart compared to SNL, even some sketches wouldn't run by today's standards but they had soo much more to offer, I hope they can come back or so a special or something I miss seeing variety in a sketch show and not just the same jokes every week.

98-2001 mad tv had it.

I used to freaking love mad tv! I used to sneak and watch it every Saturday night

I'm glad I grew up watching MADtv. It was a lot more better than SNL. Too bad it wouldn't survived in today's PC world. :(

How in dafuq y’all leave Arie Spears out of this conversation?!! Comedy Hype is on some bullshit!!!!

The 80's 90's and 00's were the best years for comedy. It was fun while it lasted. Dave Chappelle and South Park are our only Hope's, May God be with them.🙏

Mad is The only show that ages great

It also stared stand up comedian AIRES SPEARS, geez how ya’ll miss that one he was on the original cast. Smh

What does Debra say? Looking at old interviews says alot. ☺️ It was alledged that as negotiations for salaries heated up , racial slurs being said to cast members was a common topic until it became unbearable. Debra, Orlando and Aries were appalled at what they would hear from cast members🥺

Mad TV will always be a thousand times better than SNL Everytime, it was the highlight of my Saturday night in the 90s

The good shows are always canceled, and the shows like SNL and friends stay on air forever lol

One of the funniest skits show period. The entire cast brought something different and they were extremely diverse. Snl is not even close to this.

I always gravitate more to MadTv

Mo Collins' "Lorraine" was also an unforgettable character. "Hah?"

MadTV was the expression of the working class society where SNL was bourgeois. MadTV was raw.

I miss comedians like Mo Collins, Michael McDonald and Debra Wilson. I love seeing Nicole in shows. Such timeless sketches Omg.

The first two seasons were comedic gold. Insane amount of talent on those two seasons.

mad tv from 1995-2003 was UNTOUCHABLE!

MADTV was definitely the new “In Living Color”! I remember watching it at times as a kid 🤣!

I wish y'all or someone would do something about the show Friday's I know it only last two seasons but those two seasons it was really rocking

SNL's ratings aren't that great neither. SNL is only still around because the producer's are basically paying NBC to keep on the air.

Thank you so much for this. I was sad when MadTV got cancelled. I still reference one liners and reminisce about Mo Collins with Michael McDonald. "No.....I don't wanna say it."

Mad Tv was funnier than SNL. PLZ bring it back, Orlando jones, Aries Spear, bobby lee, Deborah Wilson, keegan, Jordan peele, were some of the funniest cast

Whitney Screws Up The Classics is my all time favorite MadTv skit

that particular cast in the thumbnail was arguably the best crew perfect balance everyone did amazing..acting impersonations..etc... and the writing was on point too

the 1999-2002 seasons of MADtv were untouchable. i wish i could go back just to relive the sketches thank you for this video

Will Sasso's take on Kenny Rogers is without question one of the greatest things to ever occur in the history of the world!

This was my favorite show as a kid. It developed my humor. I couldn't get enough of it

Madtv was the best, and way edgier sketch than SNL. I will always love SNL it's great, but Madtv you go back and you're like, "Whoa they actually said that, or did that?" Like they really made some social statements as well as went out of the box with comedy. They did not play it safe and it's great to see when you revisit the sketches.

This show was fresh and funny. Fox should have promoted Mad TV better-the whole cast was funny and talented. SNL is a long running show but they have a lot of hits and misses.

MAD TV was very funny

Mad TV was better than SNL. SNL is so dry

I love that you guys deep dive into shows, people and movies we love! There's a million videos on Saturday Night Live already, it's so dope that you guys show love to the other sketch shows, and shows in general that most people don't take the time to really analyze. Even your character break downs from girlfriends, so dope, because how much more do I need to know about Ross and Rachel 🤣

SNL had NOTHING on this show!!

Madtv was our snl, simple as that.

I loved Madtv on fox and always wondered why it ended. Snl always came off as being so dry and lacked diversity..

Mo and Stephanie always made Michael Mcdonald break character and laugh I loved it

Spy vs Spy, Ms Swan and Lowered Expectations were the best ones

SNL was and is boring I thought it was over after MADtv came out and it still is amazing that there still on air

MadTV was consistently funnier than SNL because Mad wasn't afraid to take off the gloves and dig for whatever would make us laugh. In Living Color did the same thing. There were years that I didn't watch SNL because let's face it, some seasons really sucked, but I never missed Mad and ILC.

"MAD..your so..CRAZY...MAD"! Who can forget the funniest character on MadTV, Stuart Larkin(Michael McDonald). 🤣

Ms swan and Stuart were my favorite sketches

THIS is the Comedy Hype we love!!!! Not the gossip, opinion discussion shit.. true comedy stories!!!! Thank you!!!! We need these

Mad tv was awesome

This is incredibly well done! Always came home from school and watched MadTV on Comedy Central ASAP! And would laugh so hard about it with my friends at school the next day. Nicole Sullivan,Debra Wilson, Alex Borstein, and Michael McDonalds were golden. Then along came Key and Peele. Trapped in the Cupboard was just so funny.

I loved MadTV. Fell apart when a majority of the Sr. cast departed from the show.

MADtv is way better then SNL

Uuuugh...it was a sad time knowing the show was ending for good. It seems like there will NEVER be a DVD release of the show. 😫

literally every single person on that cast was hilarious and i miss the show so much! some i loved will sasso's "steven sagal" mo collins- doing almost anything alex bornstein- "mrs swan"! 🤣🤣🤣😭

That pic on the beginning season 5 was the golden cast. No one could do no wrong.

I never met a person quite like you Someone that makes me feel loved I wanna be the one that you are thinking of The one that brightens your day Because there's nobody else That can do the things you do forever I'll be there for you So when you feel the need to love Let me be the one you're thinking of Because I will make it so right Forever (forever) and ever (and ever) I will always be there for you Forever (forever) and ever (and ever) I will always be there for you Baby I promise I've got to tell you, what I feel in my heart I wrote this song just to say No one's ever gonna love me, nobody but you I'm yours from this very day 'Cause there's nobody else That can make me feel the way you do I promise I'll always be true So when you feel the need to love Let me be the one you're thinking of Because I will make it so right Forever (forever) and ever (and ever) I will always be there for you (I will always be there for you) Forever (forever) and ever (and ever) I will always be there for you (I will always be there for you) Forever (forever) and ever (and ever) I will always be there for you baby To be with you is all I ever hoped for You can teach me so very much (I will always be there for you) And I can show you a few things too (I will always be there for you) Yeah, I guess it's true what you said about the other night You know about me growing into a man But it's not just me (I will always be there for you) We're growing (girl just call out my name) But I wanna let you know (listen girl) No matter how far away you go Rain or shine (I will always be there for you) I'm yours and you're mine and I will always be there for you Girl just run to me 'cause there uh, uh There'll never be another no, uh, uh, uh There'll never be another for me (I will always be there for you) 👫🏽❤🎶🎵🌙🌉🌃🌌

I see Aries Spears wasn't mentioned, but hey . . . they really did put a lot of funny ass mofos on. And it's fucking sad, cause SNL's only comedic value is their hilarious females (McKinnon, Bryant, Strong, the features are coming with it too) and Weekend Update and whenever a "funny" machine-washed vet returns (sometimes).

Thank you for that toad or frog. Had me smiling the whole video. 😂

Funny enough I’ve been binge watching old episodes on KZfaq the past 2 weeks

Ooohhh-ohh Is this the end? Are you my friend? It seems to me, you ought to be free You used to be mine when the chips were down You used to be mine when I weren't around Girl, can't you see how I feel? All these feelings that I feel are real Oh, girl, can't you see I need you? Is this the end? Are you my friend?

All these feelings that I feel are real Oh, girl, can't you see I need you? Aw, baby, ooh, is this the end? Aw, baby, is this the end? Mama told me one day it was gonna happen But she never told me when She told me it would happen when I was much older Wish it would've happened then (Is this the end?) Mama told me one day it was gonna happen But she never told me when (Aw, baby) She told me it would happen when I was much older Wish it would've happened then Is this the end? I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know Is this the end, girl? (Ooh) Is this the end? I gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta know Is this the end? (Ooh) 🎶🕺🏾🕺🏿🕺🏾🕺🏽🕺🏿

I always watched Madtv SNL was not funny to me and tight assed.

I was in my 20s during Mad TV's original run and I never missed it. SNL was crap back then so it wasn't even a competition for me.

One thing about madtv was I liked literally everybody on the whole cast. My favorites were Nicole Sullivan, Debra Wilson, Michael McDonald, Aries Spears, Nicole Parker, Alex Bornstein, Mary Scheer, and Stephanie Weir

All the best cast members left. Towards the end I couldn't get into the series. Love Phil and will sasso

I dressed up as Ms Swan for Halloween this year 🎃 wish I could share some pics in the comments 😅

I still sing the “ Lowered Expectations” theme song.

Those first few seasons of mad tv were something special. I can remember discovering mad tv in the TV guide being put on at something like 2 in the morning when I became curious about it noticing it has the word mad in it. I was reading mad magazine around that time so the term mad had become synonymous with comedy, prompting me to set the vcr to record it so I could see that mystery show that was put on a time slot that very few people would bother to watch. I can remember the feeling when discovering what a comedy gem I had unearthed. It was truly amazing to seemingly the only person in my country who knew about what mad tv is and how funny it was. Also I have to mention that Nicole Sullivan was such a honey back in the nineties

If you watch the top clips of MadTv now you will feel like you used to live in a parrallel universe or alternate timeline, You realize all the race jokes, gay jokes, gender jokes, fat jokes that were simple and slid in between moments have been taken out of everything. They literally had a white guy say the racist jokes to the black actors, Today they would never, AND EVERYONE was ok with it because they WERE AIMING for americans of all races to join in on the fun and the middle class younger adults. I didn't realize how badly wokeness affected even me because watching it made ME shocked when I thought that part of me was still in tact.. Some of it obviously got damaged if it made surprised re watching it, It was so normal and FUN, It made life feel raw and real, and everyoen in society being exposed to that daily actually seemed to have MORE appreciation for eachother because there was NO ELEPHANT in the room. People could BREATH! Laugh and actually Love being around others especially at comedy shows where they pulled NO punches, It's why comedians who even dip there toe just a little get the audience back so fast, People can feel the void and are sick of the virtue signalling. People back then instinctivly knew racism was wrong and that was why it was being joked about, You didn't need to really talk about it because when someone WAS being actually racist they looked as absurd as the characters on tv shows. They were laughed at!

7 minutes in, you bring up three examples of memorable characters from in living color lol why not talk about ms. swan, stuart, or the maniacal coffee addict guy??

Debra and Mo carried that show.

Wish they would have a reunion special. I don’t mean an episode where they do a walk down memory’s lane. I mean just produce an actual original episode with the cast!! Bring everyone back!
