Mad TV or SNL

[Gothgar]

Which currently running sketch show is the best?


SNL has definitely lost its luster from back in the day, lately I have been watching Mad TV and it is pretty funny, but not as good as it has been.

Some off the best sketches I have seen have been on Extras, but I have only seen those on Youtube and the like. Anything else out there worth watching?

A lot of people say that SNL has gone downhill in the past few years but I still think it's funny. SNL is definitely funnier than MadTV though IMO.

they all suck

SNL is terrible.

MadTV is even worse.

the only good part of either of them are political sketches on SNL and music video parodies on MadTV.

added in a none option, which is sad, because I used to use these shows for so much great amusement, why can't there be easily had sketches on TV that are funny

The Kids in the Hall was great sketch comedy.

SNL and MadTV both have there good and bad times.

MadTV doesn't even qualify as comedy any more. They needed to pull the plug on that show for a long time now.

MadTV has the best music video spoofs

Mr. Show and Upright Citizens Brigade. I wish they were still on the air.

The only funny sketch on MADTV is coach hines. I only watch SNL when somebody I like is hosting or as musical guest.

These are my two favorite

In Living color was pretty good back in the day.

I find it ironic that Tina Fey is held in high regards as a comedy writer. But when she was in charge of writing for SNL, it rarely produced anything funny.

Was the Michael Phelps SNL funny last night?

 

[PingSpike]

Not really. The fake news is the only part of SNL that even passes as watchable these days. And what happened to the fake commercial that always used to follow the opening?

 

[A Casual Fitz]

Easily Mr. Show with Bob and David.

I also miss The State, there were some classics on that show.

I'm not sure if its gone down hill in the past few years...but in the past decade it has definately gone to shit.

Even the worst SNL skit is better than the funniest Mad TV skit.

This is interesting to me as well. No argument that SNL sucked with her as head writer, not that it's gotten any better recently, but I find 30 Rock HILARIOUS.

I was so hesitant to watch it because of Fey, Baldwin and Morgan, but they all hit their parts every time and turn out, what I think anyways, is the FUNNIEST show on network television.
