I found Mad TV more consistently funny than SNL.

Also I feel like too many SNL skits go on too long. Mad TV knows how to end their skits on a high note most of the time.

Idk, not really a fair comparison. Mad TV is dead now, if it wasn't it might be just as bad.

Even though mad tv had some good bits it also had a lot of dumb shit that nobody should ever have had the displeasure of watching.

Personally, I put Chappelle's Show on top but nothing for Portlandia, Fridays, Little Britain, The State, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Richard Pryor Show, and The Chris Rock Show?

This, and it's not even close.

In Living Color was great, too. I was a bigger fan of SNL when I was younger and they didn't try to make a political point in every sketch.

Mad TV had its moments but they relied too much on popular characters and it got a bit repetitive. The Bret Hart appearance was great though.

Portlandia, Fridays, Little Britain,


I don't like any of those all that much.

The State,


Oh shit I forgot that one! Maybe it should go above In Living Color.

Upright Citizens Brigade,


I was on the fence this one but in the end I feel that the show was good but didn't live up to the standard set by the theater and its live performances.

The Richard Pryor Show,


Never saw this one. Maybe I should check it out.

and The Chris Rock Show


I forgot this one, but if I had remembered it probably would have gone in the "honorable mentions."

That was Mr. Show, and that Titanica skit is one of the best.

Fair enough, would you also count Robot Chicken as well as sketch comedy or you did but not a fan of the show?

I never thought of it as a sketch show but I guess it should count now that I think about it. Probably would go in the honorable mentions I guess.

Man you're thorough. Do you have a top 10?

MadTV had a few good seasons. Then Fox was like "I know, let's make it the Stuart and Miss Swan Show!" and then it sucked ass unless you had a head injury or something that facilitated the ability to enjoy stupid things.

For me In Living Color, MadTV, and Kids in the Hall were all inconsistent. The highs are some of the funniest things Ive seen but the ones that dont hit can be really bad. But in general, all three are better than 90% of comedy out there. SNL has been bad for 20 years pretty much.

Cant believe Chapelle Show hasnt been mentioned. Best shit youre ever gonna get. Literally every sketch is fucking gold.

This is valid. I think the reason it wasn't mentioned though is because the show was centered around Chappelle. All those other shows had a collection of cast members, though some obviously got more screen time than others.

But yeah, Chappelle Show was a singularity. I don't think we'll see anything as golden as it for a long time, if ever again.
