Gabe and I were saddened to learn today that MadTV, the show that taught us all the lesson that it’s actually better to just watch the news in that awkward Saturday night 11-11:30 time slot after prime time but before SNL, has been, apparently, cancelled. So we put together a little montage of MadTV‘s ten best moments:

Aww. But seriously, I’m really going to miss my favorite thing to say when a friend brags on Twitter about getting into the SNL after-after party, which was “Just left the MadTV after-after party. Keegan-Michael Key is even taller than I thought!” I’ll also miss MadTV whenever a good show is canceled or a superior movie goes straight to DVD, because I won’t be able to say “And yet MadTV remains on the air…”

So long, MadTV. I know you probably did have some good moments, and that a lot of teenagers still liked you. But the rest of us won’t have you to kick around anymore.

    All-Time Greatest MadTV sketches:
    1. Sopranos on PAX [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFYN8loUboA]
    2. … yep, that just about does it. Good riddance, MadTV.

    • That IS funny. I thought it was going to be a straight ripoff of Mr. Show’s Pallies (Goodfellas edited for cable), but it went another way. You found the One!

    Will Sasso as Kenny Rogers = high-larity in my opinion.

  3. SNL has gotten much better recently, but there was a time period in which snl was no better than mad tv. and i mean that as an insult to snl, not as any sort of complement to mad tv.

  4. Lindsay, why do you like so many things that suck? Paul Rudd is the exception.

  5. i was actually expecting a montage… i guess i should have known.

    i did like “The Land That I Love” though…. it was pretty hilarious.

  6. the coach hines steroid bust sketch was the funniest
