So really, although the humor is often lowbrow, and the acting is very wink-in-the-camera, I really need to appreciate the brilliance of Mad TV. The one thing they’re really good at is not letting a sketch last too long (like SNL). And really, they have way better ideas than SNL. They just don’t have as good of actors.
Right now I’m watching their commercial for a fake CD, “Gangsta’ Shop Quartet.” It’s rap songs sung by a barber shop quartet. It’s really brilliant.
