Paul & Simon are the "husbands" and Frank is the father. There were other extras in the sketch, I just don't know who they are. Does anyone else remember? Like at the card game?

[Knickers]

I think I remember Aries as one of the queens at the card game table who said "Remember, queens are wild!"

anyway- I thought I'd do a review.. I don't do reviews, I just felt like doing one because alot of you did'nt like this episode, But I thought it was good!

Bomb Bomb Bomb Video- This was hilarious! I think you have to see the video and hear the song, and also know the singers and the band and stuff to understand it. I saw it and stuff and it was a good Idea. I liked the Puff Daddy part. Man that guy is so stupid! lol But it wasn't like my favorite music video or anything. it was ok and it had its funny moments.
4/5

CSI:- OMG THIS WAS HILARIOUS! I Watch CSI religiously with my mom, and my dad, and when I showed this to my dad me and him loved it! They did it perfectly! Even though they SO EXAGGERATED. Actually most of the time Madtv does exaggerate with parodies! But thats what makes it funny I just wish they did the rest of the cast from the real show a little.. but it was good enough with just those ppl. But I liked how I could really relate to it because I know CSI really well.
5/5

Angela: Babysitting- I thought this was funny especially the part about who girls her age kiss inanimite or howeveru spell it objects! That was funny! It was a little boring for about maybe 10 seconds, with her big speech and stuff, but the ending was funny how she ducked even though they saw her. I myself didn't even see that that boy in the backround (dancing) was even smoking- I had to watch that sketch a few times to realize that he was. This wasn't the best Angela sketch but it was still good!
3.5/5

Queen of Queens- This was ok, but it was kind of boring.. The part where they talked all gay and stuff was funny, but it got kind of old. But it was still watchable...
2.5/5

Jump Rope #5- This was ok- I like listening to the lyrics because they are funny. I liked that Terror alerts, got me down one they did. And the grand theft auto one was funny too! I played that game and it is just how they say. But I'd rather see another sketch with something else than this..
3/5

Commercials From around the world- I LOVED THE WHOLE THING! Every commercial was funny! Especially the Irish one and the Indian one.. I wonder if Ron was actually speaking SOME irish or he was just mumbling whatever.. The indian one was kind of boring at the beginning, but then when they did that fast closeup of the goat, It was hysterical! And then when That midget came out and it showed the commercial was for McDonalds, I was totally cracking up! This whole thing was funny and good performances from everyone, but especially Ron!
5/5

Sadaam's Party- I thought this dragged out too long, but It had funny moments. But I don't really know who all these people are that good, I just know they are from Korea, Germany, France. heh.. But everyone did a good performance here. I liked the dance that that German guy was doing. hehe I take German in school and seeing Josh play a german guy was funny!
4/5

Bush Family Fitness- I love any Bush sketches! Hehe I like them making fun of Bush! And frank and MO do good impressions too! And they do a good job of getting the point across that Bush is.. well nevermind. lol I dont wanna get all political.. And it was short, and to the point, and It was realy funny when he said he'd be grounded from Nintendo and Gameboy. lol!
4.5/5

Dating Your mom- This was so stupid I hated every second of it.. Josh and Ike should NOT BE writing! Let stephnie do the writing! And even Mike is ok! but NOT IKE AND JOSH! Josh and Ike are okay actors, but Ike is just not funny! SO JUST DONT DO IT! DONT WRITE! I hated this sketch! AHHH!
0/5

Tatu Performance: "All the things she said"- I Thought this was "interesting" My friend and me were joking about it and stuff saying how fake the performance was, and how they lip synched and stuff.. And at the end how one of them knocked down a mic, to be "tough" or something.. i guess. ?? It was kind of boring but That song is ok i guess... but its kind of strange! lol
2/5

Jump Rope #6- This is ok But I don't really remember it that well.. I suppose its just like the other Jump Rope Sketches...??
3/5

All in all, this was an okay episode! It had really funny sketches (CSI: Commercials, Angela, etc.) but it had really dumb ones.. actually there was only one really dumb one (Dating your mom) lol.. but the Queen of Queens one was OK.. but it wasnt that good.. and Plus I dont know who the hell Jerry Stiller is, but Franks impression was still good! hah. I don't know if I'm supposed to calculate and stuff but I think I'm going to give this episode A 7/10 maybe an 8/10. But Ike and Josh's Sketch really hurt it. It was just terrible! icky! lol yeah I think i'm going to give it a.. 7.5/10! yeah! HEH I dont' know if I did this review thing right.. but if I did it wrong, this is the Nik way of doing it! heh! Hope you enjoyed my review!

If they keep airing on schedule (no interuptions) it'll air it again on August 23rd.

edit: ...make that 8/30, I dont't know when the new season starts though.

[Knickers]

ep 811 isnt the christmas ep.. But yeah,good to know that they skipped the xmas ep..I was wondering why I didn't see it...
Yeah 822 I taped on another tape, and I kinda lost that tape... so yeah thats not good..lol I liked the Honey mooners thing and the thinning camera.
How many times did they use oprah this season?? At least like 5 times! But shes funny.. I liked the Oprah's Jackass one:
"MY VAGINAS ON FIRE!" lol and ep 811:
"MY BUTTHOLE IS AN ATM!" hah i know that is stupid kind of humor but i like it

...I had to update that list w/2 more w/help from my new EPISODE GUIDE: WHO/WHAT SEASON 8 thread. Check it out!

[Dartanian]

Music Video: P.Diddy & Kim Jong Il "Bomb, Bomb Bomb": While Bobby's impression was good, I don't really like Music Video spoofs when they use an artists song with a different person singing it. I would prefer they did a flatout parody like they do with Britney/ Christina/ Madonna videos etc. But this was marginally funny. Aries' inclusion wasn't spectacular.
.5/5

CSI: This was funny in parts, but I felt in some places that it fell flat. It was funny when Michael's character climbed up ontop of Simon's character and was being freaky.
/5

Angela: Hidden Video: Angela is my absolute favourite character and this was a great sketch! It was better than the one in the previous episode w/ the cheerleaders, but that might just be because I had seen that one before. I loved this one. It was very sharp and Angela really is the driving force in these sketches. It didn't even need Billy and Natalie. The bit with the Dog was really funny, so was when she found the video camera and the little kid came downstairs with the cigarette and started dancing around.
/5

Queen Of Queens: This was good, I thought Simon and Frank both did a great job, but Paul was somewhat annoying in this. I hate when he uses that queeny voice, even if the sketch calls for it. Frank's impression was hilarious. Overall an okay sketch.
/5

Commercials From Around The World: I agree that this one had good and bad aspects, but in my opinion, the phenomenal acting from Mo, Ron and Bobby outweighs they bad acting by Aries and the weirdness of the Indian one (which was still slightly funny). It's weird though, because this would have been a good chance for Bobby not to be in drag, but there he was again... in drag. But I have to admit that Bobby's at his best when he is a woman. Absolutely hilarious sketch.
/5

Jump Rope #5: Grand Theft Auto: Boring. No rating.

Saddam's Party: This was... weird. Slightly funny, partly pathetic. MADtv rocks because it doesn't focus so heavily on political aspects, rather they bash pop culture, which is what they excel at. I would rather have had something else instead of this.
/5

Bush Family Fitness: Again, marginally funny. It didn't really hold my attention all that much, although Mo hanging from the bars and trying to jump was funny. I love both the impressions, but the material was weak.
/5

Encore: Birdsitter: This was okay. God, Andrew Daly was annoying. What horrible acting. Josh is DEFINITELY a much better "straight man" than him. Stephnie reminded me of Mrs Campbell in this, and I noticed that Robert Dassie was the mailman (although I'm sure Angie has already mentioned this somewhere). It was funny when Michael's character compared murder to "masturbation and potato chips".
.5/5

Dating Your Mom: Josh was good in this, Ike was bland, the material was blah, which isn't surpising since they wrote this. Honestly, they are not a good duo. I don't know why they keep doing sketches around the 2 of them. I honestly think that Bobby and Ron make a way better duo, and as 2 of the most underused castmembers, they should do sketches about them. Josh is good, sometimes great when the material doesn't include Ike, who is just absolutely awful at pretty much everything he does.
/5

Musical Performance: t.A.T.u. "All The Things She Said": I admit to enjoying this "song" for the novelty aspect when it first came out. it was still entertaining to watch them perform, even though their lip sync abilities were horrendous. I don't rate musical perfomances.

Close: Jump Rope #6: Cellular Phone: Boring. No rating.

Overall: Alot of material was weak this week, and in my opinion a good encore would have helped this episode a bit. But it was merely mediocre, not "the worst sketch of season 7" like Rob said it was. I loved Angela and the Commericals parody, and I liked the CSI and KoQ's parody. The rest was sub-par, and the inclusion of the mundane Jump-ropers instead of a real sketch detracted from the episode IMO.
/10

Does anyone here have a transcript of the CSI sketch they did? I've never seen it but I've heard about it, and I love CSI so I wanted to see how wonderfully they exaggerated everything Thanks, in advance!
