Possibly airing this episode is a Red Carpet Special with Ike and Debra at the Daredevil Premier and they interview Ben Affleck.

Ike and Debra? That's a strange pairing.

[MADMADMAD]

They've already done Michael and Debra because of the abscence of Will and Alex. The previous skit with Michael and Debra was pretty good, so I have high hopes for Ike and Debra.

[koolboee cdmo87]

I just think Ike and Debra is an odd pairing. I would've thought if they were going to use Debra, it would be with one of the show's regulars, especially the pre-season 7 vets; but Ike's really new in the game, and Debra's been there since the beginning.. plus if they were gonna do someone really new like that, they should've used someone who blends with the cast better, like Josh.

[Mad Dog]

It has to be someone really flamboyant and outgoing like Alex and Will were. Ike has tried to be good in these cases like the Puddle of Mudd thing and that interview with those girls but he's simply not funny but thinks it anyway. He thinks he's all that and a bag of chips but in this case, we can't even eat just one. Sorry Ike, take a hike!

I kinda have to agree... And another thing, you have to create humor yourself without scripts or writers. Alex and Will are normally funny people, so I see why they did the interviews at movie and award show premieres.

Well, this is the TRUE salute-to-music episode!

Confirmed: Daphne Aguleira performs "Filthy", The Top 3 Season 7-8 Videos Countdown

Damn, that's reairing 3 sketches, and they'll probably include an Encore and musical performance too Expect about 10 minutes of new material. Damn, can't they put effort into a sweeps episode at least? We better get some episodes filling to the brim with new sketches soon

Yes. Last week's episode was enjoyable, but I was still pissed about the amount of recurring characters. ALL of them were good, IMO, but we seriously need more sketch material.

[Cat_Named_CeCe]

This week's sketches include:

YOUR TOP THREE MUSIC VIDEOS!

Special Guests: Andy Dick, Ryan Seacrest and Supergrass!

Daphne Aguilera performs
Filthy

An all-new Stuart!

Supergrass performs Rush Hour Soul

Blech, more Stuart. And Ryan Seacrest? Does that mean another American Idol parody? Add him to the list of celebrities that have appeared more than once.

Actually, I'm pretty excited about the salute to music. I think that it will be great to see which parodies win. I'm more hyped than for many episodes that were completely new material.

[koolboee cdmo87]

*throws up instantly*

Ewwwww!!!! Ryan Seacrest, he was terrible! Absolutely horrible guest star!! Oh well, at least it isn't Bryan Dunkleman, who managed to be even worse.

I'm assuming that Supergrass will be a musical guest, blah. They shouldn't have a musical guest when they're reairing 3 sketches, hopefully there won't be an Encore too.

To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to the Stuart sketch. This season, Michael's done new things with him that's made him funny again, and they're not overusing him like they were in the last three seasons, he hasn't appeared since #807 (and it's #816 now). Plus, I was a little worried, because it seemed all of Michael's characters were coming to an end, meaning him leaving next season.. the last Stuart sketch, he floated away and Doreen passed out, Marvin and Ron were sentenced to death, and Depressed went into a coma. I certainly wouldn't mind not having Ron and Depressed, but I like the other two characters well enough this season.

I'm more than excited for the brand spankin new Stuart sketch!!! HURRAY FOR STUART!!!!!!!!

[madislove]

Who the f*** is supergrass? Sounds like a pothead band. :p

You're probably pretty close. I'm sure it'll be another one of those bands where the lead singer plays his guitar with his head stuck in one position, with his mouth barely moving and droning on.. like that godawful Strokes performance we had to endure a few months back.

[Cat_Named_CeCe]

Actually, Supergrass has been around quite awhile. I know that they have done a lot of soundtracks, such as Clueless. I didn't know that they had done anything recently. This could be the best performance on MADtv this season, but I don't know if they are any good anymore though. My top 3 performances ever on MADtv are No Doubt, Bush, and Green Day. They were all great. Most of the stuff they have now sucks, but that's okay.

I really do think that musical performances boost the shows ratings, so we shouldn't really complain. Especially considering that this is the tribute to music episode, I think it's fitting to have a musical performance.

The past few Stuart skits in season 8 were pretty good, so I have high hopes for this one.

[Mad Dog]

I didn't care for the Stuart In the Park sketch because there was no foil and no plot to the sketch. Stuart didn't annoy anyone so it didn't work like the Kindergarten or Birthday sketch.

I bet Ryan Seacrest is on the show to do an American Idol parody where they air the show's worst performances. That would be a great sketch!

There was a foil, the balloon guy. Well, he wasn't a full-out foil, but he was still one.

I'm not sure what you're saying here - that it didn't work just like those two sketches didn't work, or it didn't work just like the two did work. But the Kindergarten one indeed had a foil - the teacher. I actually liked that Stuart sketch, surprisingly; the plot was pretty weak but it was more enjoyable than most of the rest of the Stuart crap from the two seasons before. The birthday one, I actually thought it was okay, but that one definitely had no foil.

If they're gonna have to have musical performances, then they should have the musicians actually do something on the show (like Xzibit did). I absolutely hate it when they just have them come on and do nothing, and especially when there's two musical performances, which is just hella lazy.

[MikeMcDonaldGrl]

I never saw the sketch with Stuart at kindergarten

A lot of them are poor actors, unfortunately, either that or they're not funny. For example, the only thing Blink 182 did back then was cussing incoherently during that "Leave it to Blink 182" sketch. I thought that Ja Rule was funny in the "Miss Cleo and Leo" sketch of season seven, but I generally don't like it whenever musicians act on stage.
