How can anyone prefer Mad TV to SNL?

I just don't understand it, Mad TV humor is crude and annoying. SNL's humor is usually well thought out and they actually have a talented cast. But it seems like a lot of people prefer Mad TV, now I'm just curious as to, WHY?

SNL sucks now. Jimmy Fallon is the most unfunny person on the planet. But yeah, MADTV is worse.

Chappelle's Show = best sketch comedy now.

I do admit Jimmy isn't funny, but Will Ferrell is hilarious, I wish he was still on.

SNL is definitely not as funny as it used to be, but i would watch it over Mad TV just because the content appeals to me more.

And SNL isn't crude? For that matter I've seen some extremely annoying SNL things too.

Although the best thing I've ever seen was on Mad. It was making fun of these t.v. commericals, and it ended up being about ectasy (the drug)

if you haven't seen it I'm not going to bother explaining it to you, it loses its humor when you try

I perfer to watch neither of them. There is usually something better on the tube. Or, I can just sit on my back porch and watch the grass grow. Better than those two tv shows.

Mia Rudolph, however, is rather funny.

glad to see the majority agree with me and have good taste. Madtv is over the top crude, idiotic shit. ONly a few times have enjoyed a part of their show, pretty sad stuff. SNl is much better I also enjoy the musical performances. I loved the show during the early ninties

I agree with some of you. SNL isn't as good as it was before. But I still watch it at times. And I still think it's better than MADTv.

And yes, Chapelle's Show is the best right now.

SNL is not nearly as good as it once was (though recent episodes have been better), but it's still better than MadTV in my book.

Neither... but if I had to chose, Mad. Just because I've never watched SNL.

Well, at least SNL used to be good. Mad TV sucked from the very beginning.
