Saw this (http://www.flicklife.com/ac4c03ba046120f0802e/Mad_TV_iRack_Apple_Iraq_war_parody.html)last night and could not stop laughing. I thought it a perfect and a hillarious parody of current strategy.

Thought?

Kind of clever but it didn't really make me laugh.

In a word, Brilliant.

I'd do it in more, but the rest would all be expletives.

It would be a hell of a lot better without all the fake canned laughter. And even then it's not all that funny.

Like most MadTV sketches it was a little clubfisted, but had its moments.

don't get it.

seriously? I'm not sure if it could be more obvious.

This is old news. Funny, though.

Ah, you know. You're home for the day, watching the rebroadcast of Stewart/Colbert, you can't find the remote and you're too stoned to bother, MadTV comes on and you manage to sit through it until that Stewart character or one of their 'ghetto' stereotype sketches comes on and you decide to turn on your Playstation instead...

I believe that may have been the most convincing argument against decriminalization I've ever heard.

It was amusing, but not enough to get even a chuckle out of me.

Eh, slightly amusing, but not that great.

Good concept, but failed execution.

Of course it's better, nothing can compare to Monty Python. To compare MadTV to Monty Python, is like comparing rap to classical music.

I thought I was going to see a silly drawing when I clicked the thread, such as this one:

Back to the topic at hand, it was an alright sketch, but poking fun at Bush is really overdone these days, it has lost a lot of its humour. And on the topic of sketches, one of my favourite Python sketches is the mollusk sketch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDIeM2giy60

All right, I'm only five foot ten. All right my posture is bad, all right I slump in my chair. But I've had more women than either of you two! I've had half of bloody Norway, that's what I've had!

Poor analogy.

And a fairly poor sketch.
