on a magazine yeah that’ll work
look what I can do
oh but it did bearing virtually no
resemblance to its magazine source madtv
banked heavily on TV parodies as well as
topical and pop cultural items of the
day I will help the process along by
throwing the rest of our money at the
Iraq airing on Fox on Saturday night it
was one of the few shows ever to give
SNL a solid run for its money and at one
point the two shows even featured rival
Myers brothers in Josh and Seth are you
doing just standing around ridiculous I

black people that you’re all rolling
around and it’s jakka

owner way white is on the team that’s
right with Jews on first the man on
second mr. Chaddha shot stopping it’s a
conspiracy at third number four The
Carol Burnett Show 15 years of drudgery
and misery working my fingers to the
bone and for what a strong contender on
its own this classic show was part of a
CBS lineup that included on the family
mash The Mary Tyler Moore Show and the
Bob Newhart show talk about good billing
known for its gone with the wind parody
the gown is gorgeous
Thank You salt and windin I just
couldn’t resist it ad libbed QA segments
and semi-improvised Tim Conway sketches
I’ll be right with you
the series also had a spin-off in the
form of Mama’s family based on the
popular family sketches there comes a
time mama there comes a time when I’m
gonna stop trying to get into your good
graces and this is that I am sick and
tired of trying to show you good time
every time you come over here to visit

Show I’m Rick James bitch although the
show was cut short when the star Dave
Chappelle abruptly quit and left for
South Africa during the third season he
went to Africa and he bought yellow cake
are you sure yes I’m sure a bitch
it left the legacy of pure comedic gold
after carefully examining the region me
and my cabinet agree that that area is
definitely right for regime change
alright but if I can be real about it be
real son real real real that chop kill
my father man what we played it say
where’d he try to kill your father son
tried to kill my father lovely cover to
see on rife with depictions of thug life
and drug references from Mary Jane to
the biggies cocaine is a hell of a drug
the series may be best known for the
Charlie Murphy sketches that gave
Chappelle his unwanted catchphrase I’m

show

Brotherhood number two Saturday Night
Live mmm
you have stimulated me let us return to
the sick chamber immediately first
hitting airwaves in 1975 SNL is unique
to our list for both being a live
program and for gradually recasting
every few years this is the sound a
doggie makes mr. Connery move no well
that’s the sound your mother made last
night filmed by Lorne Michaels for all

show is known for high-profile guest
hosts no one can resist my Schweddy
Balls and musical acts enjoy the light

prescription is more cowbell for sharp
political parodies and for launching
countless film careers for better or for
worse welcome to ways world all mighty

ultimate comedy game-changer Python
going where nothing had ever gone before
this iconic series broke every rule it
could avoiding punchlines and even
endings now to meet now to meet nudge
nudge I don’t mean that’s nuts
that’s not say no more low stoop instead
the program offered us dead parrots this
parrot is no more cross-dressing
Lumberjacks eagerly
just like and crime-solving bishops
although many sketches were based on
British life and social classes the
rampant silliness and surreal nature of
the program meant it translated
surprisingly well for global audiences
