[Miss Information]

Britney Spears: "Make Some Changes"
Keegan begins to introduce everyone to the thirteenth season of MADtv, when all of a sudden someone rams into his brand new convertible...which incidentally happens to be Britney Spears (Nicole Parker) in her Land Rover. After discovering this, Keegan introduces the rest of the cast to Miss Spears, with Britney initially complementing Crista Flanagan about her breasts - then smacking her. Britney then decides to perform for the MADtv audience, similar to her comeback performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, in a song about all the changes that occurred during the summer break.

Opening: Welcome to Season 13!
Michael and Bobby open Season 13 talking about the new home of MADtv, the Music Box Theater. They explain the new bar, this week's guest star Carlos Mencia, and the fact that Bobby has literally moved into the Music Box Theater.

Credits: Bobby Lee (himself), Michael McDonald (himself)

Meeting Carlos Mencia: Crista & Arden
Crista and Arden meet Carlos Mencia at the bar and throw him a stereotypical mexican fiesta, including the Mexican Hat Dance, mariachi music, and dancers. At first, Carlos is appalled, but once they bring out the young Mexican dancer, he doesn't seem to mind - that is, until a random costumed man from the street arrives and strangles him.

Meeting Carlos Mencia: Bobby
Bobby meets Carlos at the bar and talk about the events of the upcoming 24 with Bobby Lee sketch. After Carlos gets angry and swears, Bobby asks him not to swear because the bar used to be a church, and before that, a mental asylum.

24 with Bobby Lee: Carlos Mencia
Carlos Mencia wants to meet Bobby Lee at the airport, but since Bobby Lee continues to sleep, he sends Jose to wake him up. Afterwards, they struggle to get comfortable in the airplane, since they have to sit next to a really fat guy, which mananges to continue on for hours until Bobby Lee thinks he finds a Middle Eastern terrorist in one of the bathrooms, who isn't what he seems - he's just a gay man who proposes to his boyfriend. Too bad there WAS another terrorist on board, who had a bomb shaped like a baby. Bobby gets his ass kicked, but Carlos managed to subdue her, with only one problem - nobody can diffuse the bomb. However, the fat guy whom Bobby and Carlos were sitting next to comes out to save the day, but shielding everyone from the blast, with his ass. Naturally, celebration ensues. [Outro provided by Crista Flanagan.]

Fifty Cent: "Sad Fitty Cent"
Fifty Cent (Jordan Peele) talks to Chris Brown (Keegan-Michael Key) about how his new album is doing, and he tells Fifty it's number two - to Kanye West's new album. This causes to Fifty Cent to sing a melodramatic song about he's torn up inside about this sudden sales outcome, as he said he would quit the music business if it were to happen. [Intro provided by Keegan Michael-Key.]

Jen's New Boyfriend
Jen's parents (Crista Flanagan, Michael McDonald) are eager to meet Jen's (Arden Myrin) new boyfriend, who incidentally is Halo 3's Master Chief (Jordan Peele). Jen's little brother (Bobby Lee) is extremely excited to see him, because he is an avid Halo 3 player, and knows all about him. After being invited to dinner, Master Chief talks about his struggle with the Covenant forces to Jen's family. Unfortunately, Jen's family is Roman Catholic - and Master Chief is Jewish, thus creating a rift between Chief and Jen's family after he leaves to fight the Covenant.

To Catch a Predator: Melvin Dufrane
Chris Hansen (Michael McDonald) lures an internet predator (Jordan Peele) who agreed with Dateline's underage decoy (Arden Myrin) that they would have sex together.

[Rurry]

Sounds like a crappy premiere thus far. Yay!

[Knickers]

Why the fuck are they doing another 24 Parody? I hate that shit.

[potroastpig]

I would love a new Disney Girl or Wendy Walker as a nice opening surprise for us.........that would be sweet.

[cartman2002]

By the way, this might be the most interesting Season premiere for MADtv since maybe Season 3.

[Rurry]

No...there's been plenty of great season premieres since then, unless you mean it'll be interesting to see the change in the show. Then...I actually agree!

[cartman2002]

That's what I meant Rurry.

[Rurry]

I actually agree with you then, Cartman!

[JustG]

The commercials have been hyping it up the past couple of weeks so yeah I agree with Rurry and cartman; I'm actually interested to see how they changed the show.

[mizzimad]

I agree with both Rurry and cartman; and I agree that they're in agreement; and I agree that I agree that they're in agreement, but only if they agree that I agree that I agree that they're in agreement. Agreed?

Well, even though I'm sure that few of you are gushing over the season premiere as it stands thus far, I'm feeling better about this season by the day. I suppose I have to give it up to "MADtv" for not being content to rest on its laurels. If the writing and inspiration are still there, then S13 might just work after all. Make me proud, folks! (Yes, I mean that comment for even Crista and Arden...or should I say especially for Crista and Arden? )

[Rurry]

I'm just interested to see how much it's changed. I hope it still feels like MADtv!

[mizzimad]

I'm sure that it will. These guys and gals love improv so much that they probably can't wait to get started with the new, looser format; however, I have to believe that the actual sketches themselves will still feel like sketches. I mean, would "MADtv" really go out of its way to alienate its fan base altogether? Um, never mind -- don't answer that.

[Dartanian]

The only other new sketch previewed on MADtv.com is Britney performing her new single on the new MADtv stage.

[wonder8484]

I'm really worried about this.

[wonder8484]

I hate 24, I'm really getting tired of Nicole Parker as Britney....

Oh well. Maybe there will be some more pleasant surprises in store.

[Rurry]

Nicole's Britney is old, but I still think they could pull a great, hilarious parody of Gimme More out of their asses if they really try.

As for the rest of the show - if there's as many sketches this year per show as there were last year, the premiere could still be good/decent if the rest of the sketches are good.

[Dartanian]

The clip on the official site made me giggle when she punched Crista for having pretty boobies. *hihi*

[blackwind]

Nicole, have you been reading my journal again?
