It was the question of the week.

Each week The MADtv Informer will ask a question about the upcoming
episode..... The final photo on MADtv's new segment "On The Download" was a picture of
what?

...and it has something to do with the new page on madtv.com.



Also, I don't think A&E is on this ep. I asked for a transcript to this "Exclusive Access" clip here, but nobody replied.

It's not really worth it, Mystere. It's literally just rehersal footage of the new Abercrombie sketch.

[MysterE]

So, there IS a new Abercrombie sketch? Is it for this episode?

Yes there's a new Abercrombie sketch, and I'd assume it's for this episode, seeing it was in the most recent informer, but you never know.

Just relax........

I know but it was usually just one girl replaced, and the last time Daniele replacing Debra.

*In Andrea voice*

This is bullsh*t, This is bullsh*t,This is bullsh*t,THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSH*T!!!

[Caffeine King]

Wow. What an awful episode...

I didn't watch the whole thing, I went through enough torture with the first 40 minutes

All of the sketches sucked. Even the Ellen DeGeneres one...Nicole's voice of Ellen sounded a bit southern in this and the sketch was a lame excuse to use John Madden for the millioneth and one time...

Dorothy Lanier was alright, the only thing I laughed at the entire episode...

[Scorpiogrrl4405]

Man was this a sucky episode or what.


one of the only things I really laughed at was the baby sketch (which btw was Directed by Michael McDonald)

Lets see: Drama Queen, Blind Master, On the Download all sucked and on the download almost reminded me of that jared's bedroom sketch on snl.........


The Neighborhood watch ep was funny especially when arden was all like talking about getting molested and then the couple played by daniele and jordan just watched........hilarious especially at the end. Did anyone notice Keegan break character for a sec after mike threw that thing in his mouth???


Uh........The ellen show wasn't that great........it was kinda dull actually. Nicole's ellen impression wasn't as good as it normally is.



its a sad day indeed when the fred willard placement ad thingies are funnier than the sketches themselves..........although daniele and arden are HAWT!!!!!!!!

I prolly forgot some stuff........but 3/5..................

[Pizzotty]

I didn't think this episode was that funny. Definatly the worst so far. Eh, I cant remember the order of the sketches.

Ipads: This was one of the funniest of the night. I couldn't stop laughing when she was dancing around and she's got the ipad between her legs. Hahaha. 4/5

Ellen Degernes Show: Ugh this was so gay! I don't remember laughing at all with this sketch. Lame! OMG did you see Jordan's shiney lips?! DAMN! 0/5

Duke Flickman 1, Tomato Juice: Eh, this was...something. Gah, what the heck was wrong with this episode. 1/5

Neighborhood Crime Watch: This started off slow but it got kind of funny when they broke character. It seemed like the part where Michael spitted food in Keegan's mouth was improvised. lol the crowd went wild when they saw Michael turn around. Lol, that was pretty funny though. And the girl getting molested thing was funny too. OMG is that really molestion?! Just touching?! OMG I thought molestation was like rape, with sex and all. OMG IMMA MOLESTER CAUSE I TOUCH GIRLS LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME!!! 3.5/5

Blind Master: I thought it was funnier than Tank and Bae Sung, but cmon, is that really saying anything? LOL when he turns around and SMACK! right into that pillar. Hehe. And when he started beating Nicole with the stick. And when he jumped through the wall. Yeah. EEEEEEEEE! 3/5

Duke Flickman 2, Durolog: This was um, I cant remember it that much. But it was sub par. ;| Better than the first one though. 2/5

Dorthy Lanier: Hurrican Relief Fund: Hehe, I though this was pretty funny from the beginning to the end. LMAO at the end when she gets closer and closer to the camera. HEHEZ! Still not he best Drama Queen sketch I've seen. 4.8/5

Baby: This was pretty funny. Hehe Frank Caeti is one of my favorites out of the whole cast, no joke. I've liked him in everything I've seen so far. I liked this. 4/5.

Duke Flickman 3, Um, randoms stuff: This was the funniest one of these. Hehe, Steph rox in anything she does. Thiz wuz funneh. 3/5

On The Download: IDK whut this wuz. Just leave it at that. 1/5

Closing: ;|

OMG like wtf happened in this episode?!!! X_X

[MADfan2004]

Anyone else think it was ironic that Fred Willard said, "Here's something you might enjoy," RIGHT BEFORE the commercial? Seriously, I'm enjoying the commercials more than the actual episode right now.




(Yeah, I know he was doing product placements. Shut up.)

EDIT: The idea of showing funny clips from the internet actually fits with the whole "MAD" theme, but what the hell? These are like, three-year-old clips. (Well, I'm exaggerating, but damn, they're pretty old.)

[Scorpiogrrl4405]

Hey y'all, check this out: The Duralog Twins




Funniest line from Blind Master: "........I have to protect your virtue"..... ".....but I'm a prostitute"


Next week's Pam Anderson thing looks like its gonna be stupid.. same old "lets talk about Pam's boobs" jokes.

Hah! Sweet! I tried to get to that site last night and it didn't work. Hehe, I am so printing out that calendar.

[nick]

I didn't think the episode was awful. For what I saw, it was alright.

Ipad: Hilarious. Arden and Daniele were great. I didn't think it would be good at first, but it turned out okay.

Ellen Degernes Show: Not good. Nicole's Ellen was okay. But why with the John Madden? I swear, MAD has to incororate an overused Frank Calieno impression in every episode.

Duke Flickman 1, Tomato Juice: I liked it when the commerical came to the end, with the dancing tomatoes. It was alright.

Neighborhood Crime Watch: An okay sketch. I didn't like Arden's character, though. She was hard to listen to. Jordan and Daniele had me laughing when she talked about being molested. The audience likes Michael too much. That was way too much applause. And I hope Arden was being touched by someone she knew. That would have been a little awkward afterwards.

Blind Master: I didn't see this sketch, I went to the bathroom. But from what I saw, props to hair and makeup.

Duke Flickman 2, Durolog: Just an excuse to get Daniele and Arden in their underwear. And I'm not complaining . I really don't remember the sketch though. Just Daniele and Arden. That website is hilarious.

Dorthy Lanier: Um, it was okay. Nothing really else to say. Crista was in it. Uh, yeah. I think we're trying to use all of Stephnie's characters.

Baby: Caeti is great. The idea wasn't exactly originial, but it was hilarious. I need more Caeti baby sketches.

I fell asleep for the final Duke, On the Download, and the Closing.

Overall, I don't think it was a bad episode. Next week's might dissapoint, with all the Pam boob jokes, but who knows?

[Princess PeachC]

haha...nice calendar.

This episode wasn't the greatest, but ok.

[elscorcho]

I was going to wait for the who/what to be completed but I'm bored so here goes nuffin.

IPads - Good creative sketch. Good stuff. 4/5

The Ellen Degeneres Show - Not bad. I noticed she had a southern accent going on too. Weird. Anyway, I loved the "John Gladden" and "Ellen Deselfish" part...that was hilarious. I wish the guest were someone other than John Madden though. Her dancing was funny as hell. 3.5/5

Duke Flickman: Tomato Juice - This was ok...I didn't like these segments too much though. Kinda took away from valuable sketch time. 2/5

Neighborhood Crime Watch - Pretty good...not great though. Arden was good, as were Daniele and Jordan. Everyone else...blah. 3/5

Blind Master - This turned out better than I thought it was going to. Bobby looked hilarious. I didn't like that high pitched voice he used though. He should have gone lower. Anyway it was fine, but NOT something I would want to see again. 3/5

Duke Flickman: Duralog - ehh, not terrible, but still not liking these too much. 2/5

Drama Queen: Hurrican Relief Fund - This was great. I was worried because I only like half of the Drama Queen sketches but this was the best sketch of the night. Steph was awesome, and Daniele was good too. Steph's reaction to Daniele saying she's a bad acting coach was awesome. I loved that. 4.5/5

Baby's First Steps - Frank was making some funny faces...but overall this fell kind of flat for me. 2/5

Duke Flickman & Michael McDonald - Steph was ok, but again, not a fan of these. 2/5

On The Download - This was really boring. 1/5

Close: Duke Flickman - Blah 1/5

Overall - Not the greatest episode, but not terrible...to me at least. I got some laughs, so I guess it was worth it

[TheGooseGoblin]

IPads - Very Very good sketch. I was suprised they said "Hook the apple up to the peach"

The Ellen Degeneres Show -I liked this a lot. Not many people did apparently but I was laughing out loud at the stuff Nicole said abou...everything.

Duke Flickman: This was the worst Duke Flickman of the night but I still thought it was funny. Fred Willard is hella cool.

Neighborhood Crime Watch -I wasn't paying 100% attention to this one but it was ok. I didn't get why the audience freaked out when Mike turned around for he first time so I was kinda focusing on that.

Blind Master - Bobby has a good character. This was very funny. I love how they made him look like Pai Mei from Kill Bill. This was a sketch that didn't overdo the slapstick humour and was very funny.

Duke Flickman: Duralog - Changeroom. This was much better than the tomato one. Arden and Danielle sounded so pissed. It was great.

Drama Queen: Hurrican Relief Fund - Way better than the airplane one. I liked this sketch a lot. Too bad Crista didn't have any real funny lines. Danielle and Stephnie were great together.

Baby's First Steps - My favourite of the night. I cannot beleive that he can do a handstand for so long. I was howling through this whole thing. The angry parents were funny too.

Duke Flickman & Michael McDonald - This one was good because it was actually in sketch form. I love how it was Steph who sold out and had Mike getting pissed.

On The Download - I liked this too. I had seen the russian video 100 times but I still laughed when I saw it. I think this would be a cool new segment every few episodes.

Close: Duke Flickman - I liked it because it's better than just watching the cast and crew names scroll up.


I loved this episode. I'm very excited about this season. Not to much has gone wrong IMO. I want to see more Crista and Frank Caeti though.

[MysterE]

[DCFCfan]

Chris's MADtv Review...

iPad: This was very funny, a little surprising considering how short it was. It was a funny takeoff. 3.5/5

The Ellen DeGeneres Show: Gosh, I love Nicole's Ellen. I think I'm one of the few who liked this, even with the dumb John Madden impersonation in it for no good reason. What can I say? I'm a sucker for Ellen. 3.5/5

Duke Flickman Product Integration #1: Eh, boring. At first when I saw this I thought it might be another episode of LEEtv like #1103. Fred Willard was okay. It was like his work in Christopher Guest's films, but not as...how do I put it...funny. 2/5

Hollywood Meadow Estates Crime Watch Meeting: I thought this was pretty good. I liked Michael spitting into Keegan's mouth. Arden's get-up was pretty funny too. I'm starting to like her. 3.5/5

Cluskers Tomato Juice: Nothing special. Sort of funny with the cut-ins of Bobby. 2.5/5

Duke Flickman Product Integration #2: Better than the first. Still not great. 2.5/5

Blind Kung Fu Master: I have to say, it was better than I thought it would be. Bobby is pretty good with physical comedy. I'm not too sure whether it would be very funny if recurred. 3.5/5

Duralog: Um, ok I guess. 2.5/5

Drama Queen: Hurricane Relief Telethon: Wow, it sucks that the last Dorothy Lanier sketch had to be this. Pretty much the only funny thing she did was at the end where she keeps getting closer to the camera. This might sound weird, but I think Crista stole the sketch. When Dorothy is talking and she's just looking around totally confused made me crack up. 3/5

Baby's First Steps: This was kind of funny, but not anything special. Frank was pretty good with the physical comedy. 2.5/5

Ugg Boots: Another very boring sketch. I would have liked to actually see a sketch than another Duke Flickman. It was kind of a waste of a Stephnie sketch, considering she's only in four episodes. This is when I started getting tired of the Flickman stuff. 1.5/5

MADtv's on/tHe/DoWnLoaD: I actually thought this was a very funny sketch. Well, not a sketch, but...you get the idea. I love the Russian guy spinning around and the ninja guy. Pretty funny stuff right there. It seems to me that they put this in because pretty much everything else this season has sucked. 4/5

Close: Duke Flickman Product Integration #3: BORING! 1.5/5

Wow, has this season sucked or what? I was hoping they'd have SOMETHING funny for sweeps. Next week's episode doesn't look very funny either--Look, it's Pam Anderson! And her boobs!--that's just so original. the Duke Flickman just seemed like a filler. They have so many commercials, and they put in fake ones that aren't even funny?! Why they gotta be like that?!?! They BETTER improve soon or I think they're gonna loose a lot of viewers.

High Point: MADtv's On The Download

Low Point: CLose: Duke Flickman Product Integration #3

Final Score: 36/65 or 55.5%

[Cat_Named_CeCe]

The Ellen parody was the standout sketch for me tonight. I loved it. Nicole Parker's impression was flawless and I loved how she poked fun at Ellen dancing all of the time on her show because it's so true. The whole sketch was awesome. I think they could have picked a better celebrity guest than that overused John Madden impression, but even with that it was still a great sketch.

The Drama Queen sketch and the one about the baby were kinda so-so. It wasn't one of my favorite Drama Queen sketches, but it's always great to see the character again because I like her.

The rest of it was pretty bad. This season there has been too many segments that are cheap shots, they are cheap to film because there is no set or costumes and they have virtually no writing involved. All of those fake commercial things got annoying as hell. The "On The Download" segment would fall under the same category, but this was actually kinda funny. It's a pretty good idea, but I know it's gonna be overdone. They already have a new one next week.

I dunno...so far this season I feel like 85% of the sketches are pretty mediocre or bad and there's a few gems here and there. If I hadn't watched it live, I probably would have ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it.
