SNL is inconsistently very funny (or boring), but Mad TV was consistently above average funny

SNL. But NOT SNL now. This is a tough transitional phase they're going through.

I grew up watching both in the early to mid 2000's. Loved both equally. SNL always seemed to be more of a purist, thinking man's sketch comedy show at times. Mad TV was always bombastic, wild, raw and cheap. And that's what made it great.

Mad TV was also much more unrelenting towards celebrities in their sketches, and I really feel like that rubbed the elite Hollywood egos the wrong way (Oprah, Ellen, etc.) and in turn most Mad TV actors and actresses were probably put on the blacklist. I've also heard that Lorne Michaels and Mad TV's producer were bitter rivals, and Lorne has considerable pulling power in Hollywood.

Think about it - do you know of any real powerhouse Hollywood stars from Mad T.V.? Absolutely not.

SNL has been very hit andmiss throughout its run. There are stretches of brilliance and then stretches of crap. For my money, the best SNL lineup ever was the early - mid 90.s lineup which featured dana carvey, mike myers, phil Hartman, chris rock, etc. Mad tv was a funny show which sadly didn't receive the attention it should have. I remember when both showswere on at same time, all the critics were slurping SNL nonstop, while Mad tv barely got mentioned. If it did, it was ususally in snide and condescending remarks.

I'm really surprised no one's posted clips yet...anyway, this MadTV skit alone is funnier than anything I've seen in SNL.

The only thing SNL has over Mad is celebrity appearances..and even then, they aren't actually funny.

@bamapecan: I've been playing you from the beginning. This isn't the first time I've said something about attitude.

I knew I made the mistake as soon as you pointed it out. For some reason you believed I was actually serious when I said forever. Who is stupid enough to say that? Who's even stupider to believe that person was serious?

Don't see how that's a checkmate in your favor, bud. ;D
