Paul F Tompkins does a couple voices on the new episode of Adventure Time. One that is more or less Cake Boss and one that is more or less Dame Sir ALW. Pretty fun to hear.

Hahaha, listening to this now, had no idea that Key and Peele were going to be playing their Vandaveon and Mike characters. I love those videos they did with these characters on YouTube. Great episode so far.

omfg Scott rambling for 3 minutes trying to craft the worst spoken analogy about politics and clowns absolutely killed me.

Now I have to wonder, did he think of that bit or stumble into it and simply use his genius to recognize how funny it was?

I think he tries to get a bumbling conservative comment in every episode now.

Between the TV show and their few podcast appearances, Key and Peele are incredibly funny. They were absolutely wasted on MAD TV.

MADTV didn't just waste Key and Peele, it seems like they wasted everyone's talent. Patton Oswalt has a good anecdote about his friendship with Artie Lang coming from shared hatred of the show while they were still working on it.

The best things that have ever come out of MadTV are all the stories of misery happening around it (Artie Lange's drug use, Bobby Lee's drug use, etc etc). I had friends who thought I wasn't cool because I still liked to watch Saturday Night Live, but I always found MadTV detestable. Did anyone honestly find that Stuart character funny, for example?

I'm a huge sketch show fan, and I watch pretty much any sketch show there is. Even I couldn't stomach Mad TV. It was the worst. How it ran so long is one of those riddles I'll never find the answer to. It ran 14 loving years and I'll be damned if I can remember even ONE classic sketch from it. If you go back and look at the cast lists, the talent wasted on that show is downright phenomenal.

Now mind you, most of these people I only know for awesome things they did after Mad TV.

Phil Lamarr
Orlando Jones
Artie Lange
Nicole Sullivan
Bryan Callen
Alex Borstein
Andy Daly
Taran Killam
Ike Barinholtz
Nicole Parker
Jordan Peele
Keegan Michael Key

There's several others that were wasted as well, but that list right there is filled with wasted comedic talent. How you can have someone like Andy Daly or Taran Killam, who've demonstrated now they can play tons of memorable characters, and not do anything meaningful with them on a sketch show is beyond belief. Daly kills on every podcast he's on and in every bit part you see him in on TV. And Taran, though still early in tenure there, is turning into a big time player on SNL. As a sketch show fanatic nothing frustrates me more than the 14 completely wasted seasons of Mad TV.

I thought Stuart was funny when I was 12 :( Not so funny after being run into the ground for 10+ years. Christ did they have a low standard for catchphrases and recurring characters.

The early seasons have a few skits that are ok, mostly animated stuff and fake commercials, but yea none of it was funnier than Artie Lange going on a coke binge while wearing prosthetic pig makeup.

So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.



Getting on a show like MADtv has got to be depressing, you spend so much effort living off of other gigs like standup and suddenly you get the opportunity to have a steady paying job doing what you love, oh but the catch is all the sketches you're in are terrible and you'll do the same characters over and over and make everyone in the world who isn't a complete jackass hate you. At the end you don't even get the acclaim that someone on SNL would either, and you don't either attract attention from it being an under the radar operation (like Mr. Show), you're on the most prominently hated sketch show that will never end but could bring you years of misery.

and you're a taped show so all your topical skits are going to air 2 months after the event, or else you're way late to the punch with a very bad impersonation(James Lipton)

As I've heard multiple Mad TV cast members (Key, Peele, Daly) say, unless you were a black or Hispanic teenage boy in middle school, you probably didn't watch Mad TV.

If you're talented enough, you didn't let Mad TV hold you down. Case in point Key & Peele, Artie Lange, Andy Daly, Phil Lamarr, Taran Killam, Matt Braunger, etc.

I always hoped Will Sasso would become a big star like Will Ferrell. But at least he's always had consistent TV & movie work.

Mo Collins has had a pretty ok career post Mad Tv. I would feel bad for Aries Spears if he wasn't playing theaters all the time.

If you've never dipped your toe into the pond that is UK sketch comedy, I can probably give you some pointers to good stuff. I'm pretty negative about the state of televised UK comedy as a whole, but the 80s/90s had some amazing sketch stuff you might not be aware of.

(ie 'Smack The Pony' which is just unreal good, and it's all by ladies too and is therefore my 'go to' answer whenever anyone moans about unfunny ladies.)
