[MADtv] Episode S11E06 (Aired 2005-11-19)

[Knickers]

Oh...HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Caffeine King]

This episode has been so, how should I put it? Juvenille.

Fart & boob jokes don't equal comedy.

I only watched it for the Dot sketch and it wasn't that great, there have been better Dot sketches.

I laughed at it though (and it was the only thing I laughed at the whole episode, or what I saw of it, after the Dot sketch I shut it off)

It was only like 3 minutes whereas that NFL sketch was probably 6 or 7 minutes long.

[Devin]

NJR Character + XBox Character + Neighborhood Sketch + Vegas Sketches + Dot + Jillian + Ghost Whisperer = Best Episode of the Season


But On the Download has got to go...

[elscorcho]

Yeah the Dot sketch did seem really short. It was good though, I just wish it was longer.

I REALLY liked the camp sketch or whatever. Nicole Randall Johnson is really awesome so far, in my opinion. "Remember when you painted your barbie with a black sharpie and said it was me...and then you burned it?" LMFAO! Nicole P was good as the lesbian camp counselor too.

Hmm...no more NFL sketches please. And no more of the neighborhood watch ones either. Not a fan. I don't get why Mike gets SO MANY cheers in those sketches. It's irritating. His character reminds me of Fightin Ron with short hair. I half expected him to start screaming "TURKEY!" at the guest star.

Oh and On the Download needs to die too. EVERY episode? Come on.

Ahhh when Frank came out as William Shatner I thought he was supposed to be George Bush at first and I was like ""...his Shatner impression is great, but the "sketch" wasn't.

Lorenz was kind of dull. Jordan's facial expressions were funny though.

No Bae Sung, instead we get Tank! haha...it was ok. Probably the better of the...however many there have been. At least he was in a different setting. At first I thought we'd have an episode with BOTH of Bobby's bad characters. Thank goodness I was wrong, eh?

The Vegas things were just weird. They left me thinking "Whaaaaa??" Yeah I didn't like them too much.

Seems like I missed some stuff. There was a lot of sketches in this episode. So ends my half-assed review

EDIT: EEEE thanks for reminding me of Ghost Whisperer, Devin! It was kinda ok...but I still think Nicole P should have played Jennifer Love Hewitt. Arden was ok though.

[goodguy]

BEST EPISODE THUS FAR. The only thing i didn't like was On The Download (But then again, they have been bad eversince they came on.). My favorite sketch was Jordan's Xbox Kid(tounge hangs out when he plays Xbox). Dot was good as usual. But it was too short. FOX NFL wasn't very great (mostly because i don't care for these). The Camping sketch with Nicole Randall Johnson was F-U-N-N-Y. Jillian sketch was ok. The Vegas bits were ok (the first one was the second i didn't get.) Any others were so-so. I wish all these episodes were like this. FINALLY A GOOD EPISODE

Who will be Jennifer Love Hewitt? Any guesses? I'm thinking either Arden or Crista. The vegas thing could be funny.

I called it. All you naysayers owe me some cold hard cash.

Great episode, I'll review later.. But the gist is... Sweet episode, need more Nicoles and Frank Caeti.

PSH it doesn't count when you guess half of the white female cast FOOL!

[TheGooseGoblin]

Funny you should mention that because I was also gona guess Nicole P, Steph and Danielle.... secretly I had a hunch it could be Mike McDonald too.

[Vancomelady]

Good episode.

I want to know when Peggy Partane will return.

The Tank sketch was good and the camping sketch was good too. I think Nicole R. has a new character perhaps as does Jordan. Why is Ardan in almost every sketch? Christa didn't show much potential this ep and I want to see her improve. Dot was okay, especially when Dot talked about her father's problems.

I liked the ep. Looks like another 24 Parody sketch with John Cena will be on next week. Don't you think we got the joke already?

[MADfan2004]

And now, for my final thoughts:

• Why was Arden playing Gillian Barberie and Jennifer Love Hewitt? Nicole would have been better for both parts.
  
• Lorenz has the potential to be the next Stuart.
  
• I am seriously about to run to LA, go to the producers of MADtv, and bitchslap them for still doing "On the Download." STOP IT. NOW!! THEY'RE NOT THAT FUNNY AND YOU CAN FIND ALL THOSE CLIPS ON EBAUMS. STOP IT. NOW!!!

All right, that's about it. Okay episode. 3/5.

Haha. We all know that!

[cartman2002]

Somehow the Fox Football program is not a regular parody for the show now.

It's one of the better, if not best episode this season. The only thing I don't like is how action packed the first 30-40 minutes are, and then it slows down to sketch-commercial-sketch-commercial.

Ghost Whisperer: A big boob sketch. Not good in terms of a TV show parody, but good in the boob joke department. Nicole could have done better if it were solely parody, but Arden did it best in because of her boobs.

Open with Bobby and Meloni: Fart jokes are not funny anymore, either are Bobby openers, although at this rate we'll be seeing him open every week.

1st Only Vegas: I don't care to see Ike's tongue over food, but it was funny in a gross-out kind of way. That's not my humor, so I didn't think it was funny.

NFL Sunday: Wasn't as good as the first one, but entertaining nonetheless. Arden continues to amuse me as Jillian, but sometimes it gets annoying. As much as I like these, I don't want to see them for a while.

2nd Only Vegas: So much for the "hilarious parody."

Dot Thanksgiving: Stephnie's corn jokes were great. The sketch was a little short, but who cares? It's Stephnie doing Dot.

Nicole RJ Camping: I've been waiting to see what Nicole RJ can do, and it impressed me. Nicole Parker did a great job as the lesbian counselor. She does lesbians well, I must say.

Juvinele Hall Break: The first Tank that I've ever liked. It was short and not overly stupid.

William Shatner: I don't rememebr anything about this sketch, but I remember it was alright. What Frank impression will we see next week?

Hollywood... Meeting: Michael's super appaluase is weird. His character really is a tame Fighting Ron. The improv bit over Keegan's walk was hilarious. Breaking character always gets tons of laughs. Every did a great job, and Jordan and Daniele's characters are great. Meloni didn't do much for me.

Lorent: He could be the next Stuart, I agree. Not a good sketch, but Jordan has potential with him. Did anyone else have a real Tony Hawk's American Wasteland commercial right after this sketch? Good ol' product placement. After seeing Arden, I'd like to see more of "normal Arden." Her voice sounds nice, and "character Arden" gets hard to listen to sometimes. like "normal Arden"

On the Download: Let's start a "Stop on the download" website and send it in. I hate hate hate this sketch.

Close: I'd prefer outtakes.

I want to see more Nicole Parker, Daniele, and Keegan. Daniele really needs to be shown more. I want to see more from her.

Since the Hollywood... Meeting has appeared in two episodes, do they get a page in the Repository - Characters section?

[MADtv Watcher]

Hi. Anyone noticed in the Hollywood Meadow Estates sketch that Nicole switched colors? It was the other Nicole this time, but it was the same couple. WHOA!!!

[Cagnazzo]

Yea, when I saw that NRJ played Keegan's wife in the Neighborhood Watch sketch I was like "WTFUX?!"

Overall, another pretty lame episode . There were a few sketches I liked, however, and this was surely better than the past few episodes.

The Boob Whisperer: I only caught the last half of this, but what I saw just plain sucked. 1/5

Open: Christopher Meloni: This was even worse! As glad I am that they're pulling a page from seasons 3-5 with these openings, maybe the writers should check to see if they're actually funny. 0.5/5

Only Vegas #1: Buffet: This was a decent, short parody, nothing too special though. 2.5/5

FOX NFL Sunday: Ok, Arden has a nice body. WE GET IT. 1/5

Only Vegas #2: This simply wasnt very funny. 1.5/5

Dot's School Play "America's First Thanksgiving": I'm glad that they're using one last Dot. It was pretty good (Definitely not the best but given this season's quality I'll take what I can get), if rather short overall. 3/5

Camp Winnetonka: This too was funny, NRJ is shaping up to be really good. 3/5

Juvenile Hall Break: Tank still sucks, but he's getting (slightly) better. 1.5/5

Voyage of the Sailship Mayflower: As usual, Frank's impression is excellent, too bad there didn't seem to be an actual joke (if there was, I sure as hell didn't notice it). 2/5

Holly Meadow Estates Crime Watch Meeting: Holiday Edition: It was only semi-funny the first time, now its just meh. 2/5

Lorenz: Kid-Aid: Call me crazy, but I loved this, mainly because he reminds me of myself when I was 12. I loved the facial expressions because of how stupid they were (I know firsthand that you tend to be a mindless drone when playing video games). I definitely agree that Lorenz may become the next Stuart, and good thing too. 4/5

MADtv's on/tHe/DoWnLoaD 3.0: I understand the point of this (showing viewers funny internet clips to those who would't normally find them), but I agree that 3 times in a row per ep is a little ridiculous. The main reason I don't like these segments is because of Ike, though (sorry Ike ). 2/5

Close: FOX NFL Sunday: This was definitely funnier than the actual sketch but that isn't saying much, isn't it? 2/5

Like I said before, this was better than 1103-05, but still not great by any stretch of the imagination. There were some good sketches, and some bad ones, basically a token mediocre episode. However, I do have to admit how much better Jordan Peele has gotten between season 10 and the first few season 11 eps. Yea, 1105's Inside Looking Out was long and boring, but otherwise he's been the only one (other than Steph Weir and NRJ's sketch) who I really laughed at this season. Overall I give this episode a 5/10.

[MJB12]

Why did the end credits say "On The Download 4" when this was only #3? I hope this is only for the 4 episodes in November, no more after that.

Alright episode...the sketch with Nicole RJ and the campers was hilarious.

[TheGooseGoblin]

Maybe the switch of Nicoles was poking fun at the "Hopefully the audience will be able to tell you apart" thing from the first episode... Probobly not but I still think that's funny.

I noticed that too. Something else I noticed... what might be referred to as a real product placement in this epidsode: Lorenz is playing "Tony Hawk's Underground Wasteland" on X-Box. There was a T.H.U.W. commercial right after this sketch.
