The BEST episodes of MADtv

Every episode of MADtv ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of MADtv!

A similar show to Saturday Night Live and In Living Color, sketch comedy series MADtv mines the world of popular culture for subjects ripe for parody. Based on the comic stylings of MAD magazine, the series satirizes celebrities, music videos, television shows, and more through outrageous sketches, a unique assembly of recurring characters, and the uninhibited zaniness of cast members.
