Rize

Ive decided to call the sketch "Clownin and Krumpin". Read all about Krumpin Clowns here. It was a pretty interesting read.

Can anyone help me out with The View parody and tell me all the roles?

No actually you're not. I personally enjoyed it... I actually liked eveything in this episode (besides Tank and the Wedding Crashers). Everything else I enjoyed... even the Silver Fox and the steroids parody. I'm not doing a full review today... imto sick and lazy at the moment.

[newt007]

Oops, I hope that wasn't steroids

In this sketch, Raphael Palmiero (Ike) explains he has never intentionally taken steroids. He explains that he accidentally takes them. His nephew (Frank Caeti) also accidentally takes them, for his Tee-ball game. Raphael's nephew becomes monstrous and hits home runs and carries kids around.
Opinion: This was eh, okay. I enjoyed Frank's part. I liked when he carried the kids around the bases and hit home runs off the little tee.

President Bush's Gilligan Comparison

President Bush (Frank Caliendo) comes out on stage and "addresses the nation" about the tragic death of the actor who played Gilligan on the show, "Gilligan's Island". He compares it to the deaths from Hurricane Katrina, that Gilligan was stuck for years. He declares a new holiday for Gilligan's death.
Opinion: I didn't like this. I guess you really had to watch the show, Gilligan's Island to enjoy it more, so I didn't. Although, I did chuckle when he said "Gilligan was on the island for years!" It was a funny comparison.

Wedding Crashers

Kim Jong Il (Bobby) and Fidel Castro (Ike) "crash" a wedding in this sketch. Kim somehow ends up in his underwear on a bed, and they have a dandy time dancing to music.
Opinion: This was so weird and so random. I didn't see the point to it. If I saw the movie, I'd probably understand it a bit more, but it was so weird. I'm glad it was short, because it didn't make much sense to me.

Silver Fox

Well it seems that the 7AM Condo Report isn't the only show in the apartment complex. Isador (Michael) has a show in his apartment called "Silver Fox". Isador lives with his drug-addicted nephew, Duncan (Ike). Isador's first guest is Muriel (Steph). They discuss pick-up lines. Muriel and Isador go on a pretend date at the Olive Garden at a table in the apartment. Isador and Duncan share many arguments. Isador forgets where he is at times, letting Muriel add humor to the show. The show ends with Isador regaining his memory and Duncan borrowing the TV.
Opinion: This wasn't bad. Isador wasn't funny to me at all. I enjoyed Ike's sudden outbursts of screaming. Muriel was hilarious, as always. I hope this isn't recurred.

The View

The girls of the View tape a special episode where they can talk about anything they please. They all suddenly randomly speak out, making noise. A farmer (Michael) throws out chicken seed for the girls to eat, implying that they're all chickens. They all peck on the seeds. When a solo opinion is stated, they all begin to chat like chickens. The farmer walks out to collect the eggs they layed. Barbara Walters ends up getting beheaded by the farmer and feathers fly everywhere.
Opinion: This was an awesome sketch. I loved how Star Jones layed a brown egg and when Barbara layed sand. For once, Crista didn't steal the sketch, but her part was small and not intended to be very funny. I really liked how Barbara got beheaded, that was hilarious.

Tank: Arcade

Tank (Bobby) visits the arcade looking for a woman. He is unsuccessful twice with a punk-rock girl and a jail bait girl. Instead of sliding off his car, Tank slides off the air hockey table. Another girl (Arden) walks in and Tank tries to get with her. Tank shows her the whack-a-mole game, where Tank's cousin Kenneth is inside it, pushing up the moles. Tank almost gets with Arden until she asks her brother, JaMarr (Jordan). JaMarr doesn't like Tank, but Tank challenges JaMarr in a game of Dance Dance Revolution to see if Tank can get with Arden in the photo booth. Tank is victorious, and is still rejected by Arden.
Opinion: This was average. There was nothing spectacular, really. I laugh when Bobby climbed on Jordan and grinded against him.

Emmy Awards:

Bobby and Nicole P are at the Emmy's interviewing stars. The nominee's rub Bobby's belly for good luck, and they hand over tiny trophies. Kathy Griffin approaches them and Kathy pokes fun at herself as Nicole does an impression. At the end, Nicole complains that she has to return her jewelry in time, so they have to wrap it up.
Opinion: I liked this. I loved how Nicole did an impression of Kathy Griffin right in front of her. Nicole was hilarious with her one-liners. Paula Albul is so frickin' corny though. Her Simon Cowell joke sucked. Besides the dumb Simon Cowell joke, I enjoyed the sketch.

Coldplay Parody

In this parody of a Coldplay song, the lead singer, Chris (Michael) sings about how he is the only important person in the band and he is smart and the only one that matters. He stands in front of the other members pretending to squish them in his hands. The set ends up on fire, but Chris keeps on singing about his importance.
Opinion: This was dumb. I understood the whole concept of it, and it was just stupid. Although the little parts I liked was when he ate the baby, which was an apple, and when he pretended to squish the other members in the background, with his hands. Other than that, dull.

Krumpin'

This is a parody loosey based on the documentary, Rize. Noodles (Jordan) and Nippy (Crista) go into a classroom to explain that violence is not the answer. Instead, you should Krump dance. Nippy and Noodles do a dancing demonstration and Noodles ends up hurting Nippy. Nippy is distrought and she ends up storming away.
Opinion: This was the best sketch of the night. Words can not describe. Crista looked totally awesome in her Krumpin' uniform and her dancing was flawless. She was so into the dancing, and her anger towards Noodles. She was so serious, and it was so hilarious. Easily the best performance by Jordan, though. You just have to see this.

Comedy Central Roast of Rosa Parks

It's Rosa Park's (Daniele) time to sit back down and get roasted by comedians. The comedians don't get the last laugh when Rosa Parks gets a turn at the podium. Rosa is appauled, and begins insulting the comedians. The comedians take well to Rosa's insults and laugh in their seats.
Opinion: This wasn't bad, too. Some of the jokes were really corny, though. Rosa's time at the podium was the best though.

Closing: Krumpin'

Noodles and Nippy come on stage and tell the audience not to stress about their job or high gas prices, but instead to Krump Dance. They go into the audience and Krump dance for the audience members.
Opinion: These Krump sketches are awesome and those audience members who got a Crista lap dance are so incredibly lucky.

Wow 11 sketches in one episode. Crista wasn't in enough sketches

[TheGooseGoblin]

I laughed during the tank sketch. I admit it. I totally burst out howling when he smoked kenneth in the face with the hammer. As soon as he did it he pulled a face that was like "oh damn i wasn't supposed to hurt the cast extra" then he started laughing. I love it when they break character and he was soo obvious about it. I was surprised that they actually aired that.

[MJB12]

In the highly likely event that the Silver Fox is recurred, my guess is that Muriel's "not today lord" calls will be ignored and she won't make it past her final stroke since it's Stephnie's final season.

[MysterE]

The extra is Bobby Lee's brother.

[madcrazy56]

Although Arden didn't say anything in the Wedding Crashers sketch, I'm pretty sure she was Gloria Cleary, played by Isla Fisher.

And I want to say Keegan was Dennis Rodman. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[ef_7]

Keegan played Dennis Rodman, Nicole RJ played Chris Rock, and Jordan was MIA

[MysterE]

Thanks guys.

[blackwind]

Don't forget to rate these episodes as they air.

Oh, and you don't have Daniele as Rosa Parks

[elscorcho]

Oops, I Hope That Wasn't Steroids: I wasn't too fascinated by this...it wasn't awful though. Frank chasing the kid with a bat was sorta funny

Presidential Address: No laughs here, really.

Wedding Crashers: This was pretty boring...I don't like Bobby's Kim Jong Il impression. It annoys me for some reason. Ike's Castro was kinda funny though.

The Silver Fox: Steph provided all the laughs here...gotta love that Muriel. I REALLY don't like Mike's character though. I see them recurring this a lot too, unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong

The View: This was ok overall. Steph and the two Nicoles had pretty good impressions. Crista's Meredith was awful...Arden's Elizabeth wasn't great either.

Tank: Arcade: Oh boy, Tank returns. I don't like this character. The whack-a-mole thing was ok, but my favorite part was Arden saying "PASS" at the end. Other than that it was pretty bad.

57th Annual Emmy Awards: I enjoyed this for the most part. Nicole was great. That Kathy Griffin thing was awesome. They should definitely send her on these red carpet events from now on. Bobby was pretty good too.

Music Video: Coldplay: This was just terrible. Mike can't sing! lol and they've already done this joke before. It wasn't funny then, either.

Clownin and Krumpin: This just dragged and dragged. I disliked every minute of it. I guess I'm in the minority on this one.

Comedy Central Roast of Rosa Parks: I didn't get to see all of this, but it looked really funny from what I saw. After all of these bad sketches in this episode, I wish I could have seen it. Nicole J's Chris Rock impression was pretty funny....good lord she is TALL! lol

Close: Clownin and Krumpin: Didn't see it

Overall: This episode had more downs than ups. I definitely wasn't too impressed this time around. Hopefully 1103 is good

Alright, I’m a little late but here’s my review...

Oops, I hope that wasn't steroids: This was ok... The best part was Frank as the steroid poppin' nephew. I loved when he chased the other kids with the baseball bat. 3/5

President Bush's Gilligan Comparison: NO MORE! Retire the Presidential sketches! Frank is such a great impressionist, he can do LOADS of other celebrities, so why squander his talent? Madden and Bush are old, MORE ROBIN WILLIAMS! 0/5

Wedding Crashers: Nothing special, but for some reason Bobby's Kim Jong Il always makes me laugh. 3/5

Silver Fox: At first I was kind of pissed off that they were replacing the 7 A.M. Condo Report with only Isador... But when they brought in Muriel, my mind changed pretty quickly... Although it will never be the same without Ron... 4/5

The View: Nicole Randall Johnson was great here! "IM STARVIN'!" 5/5

Tank: Arcade: Please stop with Tank! I’m begging you MADtv, no more Tank! The only part that made me laugh was when Kenneth popped out of the "Whack a Mole" machine. 1/5

Emmy Awards: YES! Nicole on the red carpet! This was great! I loved the ongoing joke about Nicole's $6 dollar earrings, and I must say Kathy Griffin is such a great sport, first the "Billboard Music Awards" and now this! 5/5

Coldplay Parody: Weak! Almost as bad as the Bush sketch. 0/5

Krumpin': Crista is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and Nicole Randall Johnson is proving herself too. "Oh my god, he just hit that little white girl!" 5/5

Comedy Central Roast of Rosa Parks: Funny, but nothing too awesome. It got its point across though, Comedy Central is going OVERBOARD with the roasts... 3/5

Closing: Krumpin': More Krumpin'! Short but sweet. 4/5

OVERALL: I guess it was just the surgery last week, because now it seems to me that everyone is fitting in quite well! I can't wait for more season 11!

[NemesisDesign]

Alright heres another review, why not.

Oops, I hope that wasn't steroids: I liked this sketch. Though I wasn't rolling around laughing at it, I like the tongue-in-cheek sketches like this and I think Ike is very well suited for them.

President Bush's Gilligan Comparison: Everbody knows how I have very little Caliendo tolerance and this was no exception to that rule. I have never enjoyed a President Bush sketch on MadTV. I admit that Caliendo does a near perfect impression of the president, but that doesn't make it entertaining.

Wedding Crashers: Pretty awful. I sorta wish they actually parodied the real movie instead of throwing in the communists thing, although I guess it would be pretty hard to do a decent Owen Wilson without Josh Meyers on the cast.

Silver Fox: Good lord was this bad. I think its pretty sad that Stephnie doing her stroke bit for the 1000th time was the funniest part of this sketch. I'm not anti-7am condo report per se, but Isadore was probably the worst character from that sketch with which to do a spinoff sketch.

The View: I liked this one. I think it was pretty funny all the comments the writers made on the actual cast of The View. I thought it was pretty clever that they likened them to hens. Good stuff. NRJ seems like shes pretty darn talented so far.

Tank: Arcade: I'm not as anti-tank as a lot of the people on this board. I think that every Tank sketch has about 2 or 3 funny moments. I know that I was laughing when Bobby said 'tonsil hockey' and made that weird noise with his mouth. Oh and it seems like Bobby is getting Jimmy Falon syndrome where you crack up when you are in the middle of a sketch. So far its still in the cute and funny stage, but I'm sure I'll get irritated with it eventually as the season progresses.

Emmy Awards: I really am not a huge fan of red carpet sketches, because it sort of just ends up showing a bunch of celebrities being uncomfortable while they are interviewed. HOWEVER, Nicole P did a fantastic job in this one. She of course looked gorgeous and I thought her Kathy Griffin impression was awesome. Bobby was okay, but I really wish hed stop being such a 1-trick pony and lay off the aZn jokes for a while. Oh well, I suppose thats too much to ask of him.

Coldplay Parody: Absolute garbage. I know I am a bit biased because I simply abhor coldplay, but I have to say that Michael's coldplay parodies are actually WORSE than coldplay itself, if thats possible

Krumpin': THIS WAS THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE. I loved this sketch. The premise was kind of strange, but I loved how Jordan's character was kind of fake street ("If I didn't have Krumpin, pshh..psh...PSHHH"), but Crista really shined here. I don't know what it is but Crista plays a really hilarious abuse victim (i.e. her standup bit that she did last season). When Jordan took her bear and clocked her, I absolutely lost it

Comedy Central Roast of Rosa Parks: I thought this sketch was okay. I think it was funnier to me because I actually watched the roast of pam anderson so I kind of related. Nothing special, but it was pretty good.

Closing: Krumpin': HELL YEAH! This was cool. Crista is really solidifying her position, in my mind at least, as the second best cast member, next of course to Nicole Parker. Well done.

OVERALL: This episode has many bad sketches in it, but luckily these sketches weren't bad enough to detract from the truely awesome ones like Krumpin and soforth. Fairly good. However, I felt that there was a huge Nicole Parker deficiency in this episode that bothered me. Hopefully she will be in more sketches next week.

ONE writer actually, this sketch was written by Michael McDonald.

[madcrazy56]

no one got The View sketch for me to die laughing again too? oh well.
I dont see how all of you liked the Krumpin sketch. I thought it was terrible. just like last seasons one where keegan michael key and that other dude (sorry I dont remember his name) would just jump around saying random crap dancing to it. waste of air time in my opinion . it seems as though the new people are trying too hard to be funny, and it isn't working. at all.
