SNL isn't very good these days, but i still don't get all the hoopla over MAD Tv. I never found it very funny, the recurring characters (the chinese lady, the "kid" in the striped shirt,) always annoyed the piss out of me.

I like MADtv better. However, I was watching SNL tonight also, and those American Idol and Paris Hilton sketches were hilarious.

MadTV used to be real funny when they had Orlando Jones, Will Sasso (when he was fat), Debra Wilson, Phil LaMarr, Pat Kilbane, etc..
Right now most of the skits are either really lame or involve overused and tired out gimmicks.

SNL is funny sometimes, though a lot of the times there skits make me go WTF?

MadTV at best is chuckle-worthy, and at worst eye-rollingly lame. SNL is at best sublimely hilarious, and at worst just plain cringe-inducing. Dave Chappelle sucks on all cylinders.

Kids in the Hall win.

My MadTV Dream team is Debra Wilson, Nicole Sullivan(who cameoed tonight for a Celebrity Survivor skit, reprising her role as Meg Ryan),Will Sasso, Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Phil Lamar, Aries Spears(sometimes), and I guess Pat(Spishack salesman...his hyped up Java man character was lame).

While SNL may not be funny sometimes, Mad TV is just plain annoying.

I can't believe Comedy Central is playing it instead of SNL. >.<

The Victoria Secret's skit during tonight's SNL was so painful to watch. That has to be one of the worst skits ever made.

I did like the rapping for nuts skit though. That was some funny fucking shit.

I think Mad TV relies too much on gross-out humor and being politically incorrect, although I do hate things about SNL.

That's kinda true, yet so sad when you compare it to like all the hosts before Colin Quinn. Especially Norm McDonald.

I think SNL is still pretty good, at least watchable. But MADtv has sucked ever since they got money, that first season was gold though. The only good thing I've seen recently was their Jenny Jones thing, it was so hilariously accurate, especially the lady who played Jenny.

I think Trigger Happy TV had some great stuff, but I guess thats a different kind of comedy show.

MAD TV with Dave Herman and Phil LaMarr rules all. Those were the days.

I haven't seen MAD TV in years but good god it's horrible now.

What I said in the other Mad TV thread:

"I think SNL even at its worst is still tolerable compared to MadTV. Every time I've ever changed the channel and MadTV is on, it seems like they have the same exact characters in different situations like Asian lady, that old woman that's always clearing her throat, or that tall guy that acts like a kid. They're the only characters that whole show seems to be comprised of.

People complain about SNL reusing characters but MadTV is easily 10x worse."

They both suck at the mo. While SNL has sucked for about a decade, MAD TV has been in decline for about a year - year and ahalf right now.

For me MadTV is just so much more on the ball with their parodies than any other sketch comedy show, although SNL makes way better use of guest stars than MadTV though. Some skits on Madtv can be just plain horrible, where as other ones will just have you rolling on the floor. I love that show way more than SNL, but my only gripe with it is how frequent they change cast members. Before you even really get a chance to know them they are gone and replaced with unfunny people, some of them are great, but alot of the new people are just awful. That new guy that look a little bit like Mark Wahlberg is great though, he does pretty good impersonations. I just wish they would learn to hold on to the funnier ones a little longer, it seems like they change the cast every month now.

Recent SNL tends to suck really badly. MADTV with few exceptions is actually anti-funny. It is less entertaining than staring at a blank television set or reading the instruction manual for your toaster.

One measure of this is that nobody of any appreciable talent has come out of Mad TV except for the original cast members (I will concede it could be watchable or even quite funny when they were on it.) Of course as sketch comedy shows go modern SNL and MadTV are pretty low on the all-time list. At least SNL can fall back on the days when it had talents like Murphy, Belushi, Chase, Radner, Martin, etc... and guest stars of the calibur of Andy Kaufman.
