Tank

Tank is an Asian-American "Street Tuner" character in the style of the The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift movie, played by actor Bobby Lee. Tank drives a tricked-out Daewoo and has his cousin sit in the back of his car making it bounce, play music and turn on underglow lights when he shouts commands. Bouncers don't admit him into nightclubs, so he tries to pick up girls outside the clubs and impress them with his car. This article is about the comedian. ...

Stuart Douglas Larkin

Michael McDonald as Stuart, with Mo Collins as his mother.

Stuart Larkin, arguably the most recognized character from MADtv, is a hyperactive little boy played by Michael McDonald. He is almost always accompanied by his borderline alcoholic mother, Doreen (Mo Collins), who scolds him for his various acts of childhood mischief. For example, he is often seen eating different junk foods, and when his mother inquires about them, he simply replies that he found them on the floor. His face is pale, and he often stares vacantly at nothing, possibly because of constantly-hinted-at childhood traumas, such as his dad leaving them. He hates going to his dad's house. Once, he said to his mother, "Mommy, Daddy called," and his mother, quavering, replies, "What did he say?" and Stuart replies, "He said he's glad to be out of this hellhole." It was said that Stuart's father left them on a Tuesday for an Asian woman whom he had met on the Internet (no matter when the sketch takes place, Stuart's dad has always left that previous Tuesday). It was also reported that he didn't pay child support because she wanted a home in Studio City. Stuart is known for his catchphrases, specifically "Look what I can do" (and his subsequent break into an awkward, spasm-like flourish, once referred to as a dipsy-doodle), and "Let me do it!" when an adult attempts to assist him with something. (He often follows this up with "Dooooon't" when said adult tries again.) He occasionally refers to his genital area as his "danger zone", or referring to the genitals directly as his "googoo." When pushed too far, his boyish falsetto is replaced by a deep demonic voice. On that same note, in some skits, Stuart is seen entering his "dark place" a play off of the popular children's "happy place"; this is used to show Stuart's dark inner toils. Many times in the skits, it is often said that he should not have sugar, or otherwise he will become "crazy." Many skits focused on him annoying their neighbor Harvey Makenthaler (Paul Vogt) during the seasons he was on the show). His original name was "Scott". His middle name is Douglas.[citation needed] Image File history File links Stuartmother. ... Image File history File links Stuartmother. ...

Luann Lockhart

Crista Flanagan plays Luann Lockhart, a stand up comedienne. She is notorious for her poor delivery, lack of punch lines and frequent bouts of crying. Her material includes bits about her abusive ex-boyfriend and terribly unfunny observations about everyday life. Luann's jokeless routine is mostly made up of nervous laughter and long pauses.

Inside Looking Out

Pat-Beth Lamontruse (Nicole Parker) and Dontell Lamontruse (Jordan Peele) are an interracial couple who sing and preach against bigotry, despite the fact that Pat-Beth, unintentionally, is racist. They seem to love each other very deeply despite Pat-Beth's racist comments. In later skits, Dontell realizes what Pat-Beth is really saying and tries to correct her or, failing that, shut her up.

Coach Sandoval Hines

Coach Sandoval "Sandy" Hines, played by Keegan-Michael Key, is a short-tempered Catholic school gym teacher and basketball coach who threatens to kill the students, such as saying he's going stab them with a pencil for real or imagined misbehavior (His most frequent threat involves setting students on fire.) His character is hypocritical in that he easily becomes ill-tempered by disruptive behavior from students during various types of school events and threatens them with various violent punishments, however, he is far more disruptive than the students he threatens. For example, in one sketch he repeatedly interrupted his team's basketball game with violent tirades and the sketch ended with him getting beaten by a nun (as most do). Some have said that this character was inspired by Kel Mitchell's Coach Cretin from Nickelodeon's All That. Keegan-Michael Key (b. ...

Jorge

Jorge (Keegan-Michael Key) is a short-tempered Mexican man who works at a Mexican fast food restaurant, presumably modeled after Taco Bell. Disgusted by the meal choices and cooking procedures at the restaurant, Jorge often recites long, overly dramatic soliloquies about his Mexican heritage. Whenever the customers order an unauthentic meal choice from the menu, Jorge assaults them, either verbally or physically. For example, when a customer orders "cinnatwists" from the menu, Jorge brandishes a knife from his boot and angrily stabs the customer's hand while it rests on the counter. His supervisor is an overly-tired black woman with herpes (played by Daniele Gaither) who yells "Jorge!" whenever Jorge does something inhumane or wrong, which is often. Keegan-Michael Key (b. ...

Bae Sung

Bae Sung is played by Bobby Lee and is a Korean, Japanese, Chinese man who has had a number of jobs mostly as a translator. His major problem is that no one can understand him since he speaks the language of "Dumbass." His recurring phrase that is used in every one of his skits is "Uh-oh, hot dog!" (on one occasion, he was tackled by a man in a hot dog suit). In later sketches (most of them involving Ike Barinholtz) Bae Sung would go through a series of questions which he answered in gibberish until the final instance where he was able to follow it with his catch phrase. This article is about the comedian. ... Isaac Ike Barinholtz (born February 18, 1977) is a comic actor. ...


The character appeared to be killed off in season 11 in a sketch involving the Taiwanese Triads and the cast of The Sopranos. He was then ground up into hamburger meat by Paulie Walnuts (Barinholtz) and Silvio Dante (Frank Caeti) and was consumed by Bobby Lee who promptly got sick and defecated Bae Sung into a toilet. The final scene shows Bae Sung swirling around and going down the drain. However, he reappeared in an episode in season 12, in a parody of Medium, acting as a translator for a future (Korean) murder victim. Allison DuBois, would be unable to save this victim, due to Bae Sung's bad translating. The coroner, also played by Bobby Lee and also named Bae Sung, spoke perfect English.

The Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man

Played By Michael McDonald. The skits would involve the depressed Persian truck driver towing someone who thinks they are having about a bad day, but when they ask him about his life he goes on about his difficult life, making them feel better about themselves. Topics he complains about usually involve his life in a one room apartment with 19 noisy family members, his nagging kids, his cruel and violent parents, his unfaithful wife and long job. Most complaints are horrible things and ends with "always" or "never, always." He refers to his mother-in-law as his "Osama Bin Law." He speaks poor English, often searching for words with his catch phrase "Uhh, how you sayyy?", and using his native words "hella, hella, hella" for "testicles," and "kraimenech" for "vulva".

She also teamed up with James Brown, Jr. (played by Aries Spears) and became a bank robber. The source of the comedy came from the other characters becoming increasingly frustrated by her, particularly when she would respond with an inane comment, "I have a cat named FiFi."

CLOPS

Title Sequence for CLOPS

CLOPS was a MADtv parody of the Fox show COPS done entirely in claymation. It typically featured police officers pursuing and arresting popular cartoon characters or toys for "bad" things. They have arrested characters such as Gumby for robbing a convenience store, GI Joe and Barbie for a domestic dispute and disturbing the peace, Santa Claus for driving drunk and smuggling cocaine, the Rock-Em, Sock-Em Robots for brawling, Wallace from "Wallace and Gromit" for animal abuse (of Gromit), Mr. Potato Head for drunkenness in public, and Paddington Bear for indecent exposure. A crazed Pillsbury Doughboy was shot at repeatedly but to no effect on his doughy body, so he was pushed into an oven and cooked. Mr. Peanut was holding other nuts hostage with a nut cracker and when the police confronted him, he cracked some hostages and then turned it on himself.

Dot

Penelope "Dot" Goddard is an attention-deprived and extremely hyperactive seven year old portrayed by Stephanie Weir who obsesses about chewing gum, wearing gloves, and wearing her hair in pigtails. Dot's sister Karen (played by Alex Borstein) is a child genius. The parents idolize and dote upon the genius sister, but barely tolerate the hyperactive Dot. The treatment of Dot by her parents goes beyond just favoring one child over the other, and indicates her parents feel outright resentment and utter hatred for Dot. When all four cast members (Alex Borstein as the genius sister, Stephanie Weir as Dot, Michael McDonald as her father, and Dot and Karen's mother) were still on the show, a typical skit consisted of Karen giving a nationally televised interview, accepting a prestigious award or otherwise involved in some sort of prestigious ceremony, with Dot along behaving in an exaggeratedly childish manner and disrupting the occasion; Dot's parents would attempt to ignore her, hush her, and typically progressed all too quickly into threats and outright physical violence. In several skits, her father became so angry he would just utter "I hate you" and "I'm going to murder you," (even when Karen was being interviewed on a nationally televised show and there were cameras and microphones present that could record his words and actions.) Despite her genius and ability to perform advanced scientific procedures, Karen appeared to genuinely care deeply for her twin sister and to enjoy spending time with her in childish activities, and never seemed to notice the hostility and utter cruelty her parents directed towards Dot. After Alex Borstein departed the show, some skits with Dot occurred, typically with one or the other of Dot's parents present wearing a shirt that said "My Other Child Is a Genius." Over Stephnie Weir's career on MADtv, Dot appeared in a number of skits including: Stephnie Weir (born November 28, 1967; sometimes credited as Stephanie Weir) is an American actress and comedian. ...

Rusty Miller

Rusty Miller, played by Michael McDonald, is a college student at Cal State-Fullerton with a public access show. Originally, the skits involving the character focused on his college life and his attempts to fit with his fellow peers at college, in spite of his often nerdy behavior (most notably his love for Zima over other forms of alcoholic beverages) and annoying tendencies. But this was dropped and instead the character was revamped as a host of a public access television show, with Rusty interviewing numerous celebrities such as Drew Barrymore and Mandy Moore. The show is called "This and That with Rusty". His show is broadcast on the Cal State-Fullerton campus and parts of Yorba Linda. A couple of sketches mention the fact he has extremely large genitals. The lyrics to "This And That With Rusty" theme are: Look at this! Look at that! Now it's time to sit and chat! About this! About that! It's this and that with Rusty!

Lorraine Swanson

Lorraine Swanson is a confused, middle-aged woman from Fridley, Minnesota who fails to comply with many people's instructions and is played by Mo Collins (also from Minnesota). Lorraine wears high, elastic-waist jeans (which could be described as "Mom Jeans") into which she tucks her shirt. Lorraine also wears an unbuttoned knit sweater (usually red) and huge, thick glasses. In one scene she displays she has a huge family with many dogs, children and her overweight husband, Carl (played by Paul Vogt in later seasons), and her equally overweight son, Carl Jr., who both videotape her crazy exploits into the real world. She, as well as other MADtv recurring characters, has certain catchphrases such as; "Heh?!" (usually before someone is done talking), "Gaaaaawd, thats/you're cute," "Uh-huh-huh-huh!" Every sketch has a certain word she cannot pronounce; she repeatedly interrupts the other character's correct pronunciation several times before going "Uh-huh-huh-huh!" She was last seen taking a camping trip with her family who all seem to have the same traits that she has like her cough and glasses. She said "I'm going to get retired in Florida to get pickled on pina coladas!" Like many other characters on MADtv, Lorraine became increasingly antagonistic toward others as her character developed, at one point requiring three days to answer the $100 question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? despite having the answer given to her by the host. Her kids are Carl Jr., A.J., Dick, Li'l Dick, Bobbi, and Muhammad. Her grandson's name (Muhammad's child) is Li'l Moe. She is also one of four characters that performed in "Lady Mad Tv" a parody of the world hit Lady Marmalade, she apparently took the role of Lil Kim with a rap segment, she performed along with Melina, Dot, and Ms Swan.

Ms. Bunny Swan

Bunny Swan, more commonly known as "Ms. Swan," is one of the most well known and most prominent characters on MADtv. She is portrayed by actress Alex Borstein and appeared on the show until Borstein's departure (and one last time when Borstein made a guest star appearance). She was born on November 25, 1966 (as revealed on her driver's license when she goes to the DMV) making her 41 years old. It was also revealed that she has brown eyes, is 5'2", and weighs 145 pounds. She began as little more than a character based on stereotype. She is portrayed as an Asian woman who works as a manicurist at the Gorgeous Pretty Beauty Nail Salon (which she mispronounces as "Goja Pitty Booty Nay Salon" every time she says it). In one sketch it is revealed that Miss Swan is from the fictional country of Kuvaria, near the North Pole, and home of Santa Claus. (One sketch with an automated teller machine shows her being fluent in the Spanish language.) Eventually the other character in the scene would become fed up with her and storm off in a rage. Early on, her catch phrase "Okee, I tell you eh-we-ting: he look-a like a man!" would catch on, stemming from a sketch in which she was unable to identify a thief because of her inability to describe him. In all but a few episodes, Miss Swan would purse her lips precociously which has, henceforth, been known as another symbol for the famous character. As the sketches progressed, Miss Swan would be put into more absurd situations and locations (such as a drag queen club) and it became increasingly established that she was intentionally agitating those with whom she interacted. It was revealed that she spoke perfect English and simply found it entertaining to pretend to be a cultural illiterate, which was a new source of comedy for the bits. Miss Swan would also make a cameo appearance on an episode of Family Guy, on which Alex Borstein is also a cast member.

El Asso Wipo

El Asso Wipo is a Mexican wrestler who was looking for wrestling work in the United States. He appeared in the show's early seasons, and was played by David Herman, Chris Hogan, and in one special guest appearance, by David Arquette. The humor of the skit lies in the fact that the talent agent is trying to tell El Asso Wipo that his name was not suitable for American viewers. Soon after, other wrestlers with bad names were introduced such as El Diablo Negro (The Black Devil), and Señor Bag of Crap (Mr. Bag of Crap). An often quoted line from El Asso Wipo is "I will break your back, like so, with my knee!" accompanied by a breaking-a-back-over-the-knee motion.

Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson

Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson is a character played by Debra Wilson. She is a meter maid who makes extensive use of Black English Vernacular (Ebonics) when speaking, and quickly accuses other characters' most basic assertions as motivated by racism. Her character often rapidly shifts her mood at mild stimuli (Emotional Dysregulation) for comedic effect: aggressively arguing with other characters one moment, then talking amicably and acting buddy-buddy with them seconds afterwards. She is also frequently seen gabbing on her cellphone with her unseen best friend Sonya (who was once voiced offscreen by Aries Spears). Her catchphrases include "I saaaaaaaaaaaid..." and "What'd I do?" (Where instead of saying "What'd I do she says "wharrrido" with rolled "r"s). A typical sketch would involve her being involved in some situation, where she wilfully exploited circumstances. For example, if she were standing in line at a restaurant counter, she would be loudly talking on her cell phone, making other people in line behind her wait; if someone attempted to politely ask her to order, she would loudly snap at them that she was on the phone, then loudly tell Sonya about the rude people surrounding her. She tended to be loud and demanding; whenever someone got in the way of what she wanted, no matter how rude she was being and how polite the other person was, she loudly questioned, "Why? Why do I have to [do such and such]? Because I'm BLACK?!!" An early form of this character appeared in season one, but she was more articulate and a doctor.

Cabana Chat

Mary Scheer portrays Dixie Wetsworth in Cabana Chat

"Cabana Chat" was a recurring feature of the second and third seasons of the show. The hostess was madly enthusiastic Dixie Wetsworth (Mary Scheer), apparently hopped up on diet pills, with a deep tan and wrinkled skin, and a Southern US accent spoken in country club lockjaw. She was prone to broad double-entendres, and flirtatiousness with males, especially her musical director, Dexter St. Croix (played by Orlando Jones), and Pool Boy (played by Bryan Callen). Of Pool Boy, she has said, "He's like a New York hotel: nothing much upstairs, but the lobby's fantastic." or "He's like a pair of children's scissors; colorful but not very sharp." The similarity of her persona to comedienne Phyllis Diller was underscored in one episode when Diller herself appeared in the skit with Wetsworth. Upon entering the cast in the third season, Aries Spears would join the segment as "James Brown, Jr." Image File history File links Dixiewet. ... Image File history File links Dixiewet. ...

The Eracists are a group of motivational speakers who would tour community centers and schools to preach against bigotry, while unknowingly exhibiting aspects of that very behavior. The Eracists are made up of Alex Borstein (whose character was in a wheelchair), Nicole Sullivan, Phil Lamarr (later Aries Spears) and Will Sasso (whose character was unaware of his heavy weight and rather thought his telling feature was his red hair). The way they spoke was by music, dancing and singing. Phil LaMarr was later replaced by Aries Spears, a visibly gay character, but one who asserted that his feature was that he was "the black one."

Kappa Kappa Kappa Sorority

Stephnie Weir, Kathryn Fiore, Debra Wilson and Mo Collins as the sisters of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

The Kappa Kappa Kappa (KKK) sorority is a sorority house at USC filled with popular and slutty girls. Although the girls genuinely seem to mean well, their behavior tends to be unconsciously cruel or destructive. In several sketches, they attempt to "help" less popular girls, but their help is often destructive (for example, when giving a makeover to an unattractive girl, they will probably throw away her "geek stuff", such as schoolbooks, musical instruments, or even cherished family heirlooms; if they make an unpopular girl a "Kappa for a Day," they will play what they interpret as typical sorority tricks to try to make her feel welcome but which are horribly cruel, such as sneaking the girl out into public while she is asleep and leaving her outside naked.) Despite being aware of the similarity between their initials and that of the Klan (they always introduce themselves as the "Kappa Kappa Kappa, or KKK--but the GOOD kind!"), they typically wear white hooded sweatshirts with KKK written on them when going about in public to try to do good, clearly not realizing the implication. In many skits, their do-gooding often involve them using fire for some reason while dressed this way. For example, they once tried to "pass the torch of brotherhood" while dressed this way, attempting to give $100 to a married couple with a baby, but, unsurprisingly, the couple ran away from them. As community outreach the girls, again dressed in their white hooded sweatshirts, cluelessly surprise an elderly black couple with a flaming cherries jubilee left on the front lawn. Their competitors are the Zeta Iota Tau or ZIT for short.

Lida Rosario and Melina Hacinto

Lida Rosario (Nicole Sullivan) and Melina Hacinto (Debra Wilson) are two loose and bitchy Hispanic girls from Los Angeles. Their ethnicity is never stated but judging by their accents they could be Puerto Rican or Dominican. One sketch had them running a beauty salon, "Melina and Lida's Parlor Of Beauty and Stuff". But future sketches had them clerking at a convenience store, partaking as guests on the Jerry Springer Show, and competing in a beauty pageant and on MTV's Spring Break. Most sketches either revolve around or mention Rosa (previously unseen, but played in a later sketch by Mo Collins), whom they blame for being a "skanky slut" and stealing their boyfriends. Their adventures usually involve trying to pick-up boys, usually stating "I'd do you" to any guy they like.

The Vancome Lady

Nicole Sullivan as the Vancome Lady.

Arguably MADtv's first huge hit of a character, the Vancome Lady, or Kathy Wajonowski (the character's real name), is a self-absorbed, cynical, bigoted woman with heavy eyeshadow played by Nicole Sullivan (though her original appearance did not include the eyeshadow or gaudy hair or clothes). The Vancome Lady is also the very first MADtv recurring character, appearing in the second sketch of the very first episode, as well as the fourth sketch of the same episode.

Lancôme Paris is a leading international manufacturer and marketer of perfume, cosmetic, and skin care products. ...


She crushingly insults every character she comes into contact with, her insults often resembling the jokes of insult comics in the tradition of Don Rickles or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. She has a different job in each skit because she always alienates those around her in her previous job, and when being fired, she thanks her male employer for "letting her sleep with him" (usually with a funny metaphor, "Well, thanks for giving me the job, aaand thanks for letting me sit on your lap" in the Christmas episode) and exit leaving her ashamed boss behind. Her catchphrase, delivered when she disagrees with someone, is "Tcha... you know what? Uh-uh!", and another trademark is plugging her ears and saying "La La La..." repeatedly when person begins screaming at her as she pretends not to hear them. She often completes this sequence with a hand gesture and the phrase "...aaaand scene! Thank you very much. Goodbye now! Buh-bye! Shoo! Shoo!" She also tends to move from town to town as seen in a Halloween Episode, when her insulting resulted with an angry mob making their way to her house. In one skit, Vancome Lady meets up with the fellow MADtv recurring character Marvin Tikvah, whom she gets into an insult fight with until they find out they have a lot in common in hurting other people's feelings with the sketch having Tikvah offer her an ideal place for her to work: Fox.

Noodles & Nippy

Noodles (Jordan Peele) & Nippy (Crista Flanagan) are two clowns (The Hype Jingleberries) who try to teach people the art of krumping. The two often preface their demonstrations by describing, somewhat menacingly, how krumping helps them control their urges towards criminal and violent behavior. Ironically, then, most of their demonstrations involve Nippy taking some sort of physical abuse from Noodles, such as getting shoved over or hit in the face, then allaying the audience's concerns for her safety by stating repeatedly, "that's just the krump," but still appearing to hold back tears.

Dr. Kylie

Dr. Kylie Johnson, played by Stephnie Weir, is a doctor specializing in a variety of fields. Anyone who meets her for the first time outright refuse to believe she is a doctor, because she acts like a ditzy, alcoholic sorority girl. She constantly plays innocent practical jokes on her patients, wears belly-shirts, decorates her pencils and stethoscopes in pink fuzz, and generally never seems to take her job seriously. But despite all her joking, she is a genius in the medical profession, and her colleagues regard her as one of the best in her field. Some of her antics include having a squirt gun fight in the ER, pretending that one of her pregnant patients gave birth to a teddy bear, and recording a dating service video on a proctological camera where she ad libs "Are we watching Becker cause it sure is crappy."

Reality Check

Reality Check was a talk show on BET hosted by Belma Buttons (Aries Spears) and Tovah McQueen (Debra Wilson), two obese black women. The sketches feature a white guest, who gets routinely insulted by Belma and Tovah until the guest makes a witty comeback, such as Tom Ridge (Will Sasso) telling "the two of them to get four chairs and sit down." Belma and Tovah would retaliate by taking turns lashing out at the guest, then ending the show by telling the guest to "think about what we said." The only person they took a liking to was Bill Clinton, played by Will Sasso, after he insulted himself in the same way Belma and Tovah insults people. On one occasion, one episode was done entirely on a Southwest Airlines plane, evidenced when Belma said "Damn, this flight makes more stops than R. Kelly's limo in a preschool parking lot" to Tovah's response of "God bless Southwest Airlines, ghetto bus of the skies". Bet may refer to: Look up bet in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Yvoone Criddle

Played by Daniele Gaither. Known for acknowledging her evil doing but defending herself at the same time. Some of her most famous appearances include when she sued her neighbour for $10000 in a MADtv parody of The People's Court for throwing grass and leaves on her lawn. Ms. Criddle lied to police about the defendant abusing her children, and social services took away the defendant's children. This story got the judge really enraged, resulting in the defendant receiving $10000. Another episode that features her is when she tried to run a man and his children off a cliff, because the man had taken her parking spot. Ms. Criddle is arrested at the end of that skit.

Clyde and Judith (A.K.A. the Literally Duo)

Played by Michael McDonald and Nicole Sullivan, respectively. The two are a married couple without children who often attend events for the youth (Such as a little league baseball game). They would provide sarcastic and bitter commentary, and would often end their sentences with "literally" (When at a school play, Judith comments on the costume designs, claiming she "has not seen so many overly-made up fat kids since The Facts of Life went to Paris"--literally"). Clyde will make nasty comments such as "That parking lot was so busy it was seeing more traffic than Mariah Carey's vagina, literally. These comments usually lead to parents providing comments of their own. One of the sketches was so long, it was "abandoned" and aired without an ending. The Facts of Life was an American sitcom which ran on the NBC network from August 24, 1979 to May 7, 1988. ...

Prehistoric Glamazon Huntresses A.D.

Prehistoric Glamazon Huntresses A.D. was a skit on MADtv that parodied low-budget sci-fi and fantasy shows with attractive but little-known actresses in the style of Xena: Warrior Princess, such as Cleopatra 2525. It featured four fictional females (a fashion model from today, a nuclear scientist from the future, and two cave women from the past), all beamed into the same period--at which point, a strange mist improbably transforms all of them into "Glamazon Huntresses," wearing very revealing tight clothing. When the opening credits identify the actresses, they always note "And Introducing Rebecca Finkleberg," who wears glasses and plays the scientist from the future, then noting that "Mr. and Mrs. Finkleberg," obviously her parents, are the creators and executive producers of the show. (Despite her presence on the show clearly stemming from nepotism, given the overall poor level of writing and acting, Rebecca Finkleberg is arguably not significantly worse or better as an actress than any of her co-stars.) The show is a jab at low-budget films and shows. Like "Spishak" commercials, the writing and acting are typically poor, and production values are so poor that filming appears to go on even when obvious errors occur; for example, when a "monster" is coming out of a cave, you can usually see some guys pushing it, and in one episode, the nuclear scientist makes a ray gun of some sort, but one part keeps falling off it, so it was changed to a telephone duct-taped to a steering wheel. In one episode, a "high-tech device" was quite obviously a vacuum cleaner; to make matters worse, the name of the hotel it had been taken from was clearly visible on it. One episode had sides of the fashion model's bra falling off, with each time, the revealed breast was covered up with "Oops!" in a starburst symbol. After three times, they replaced her bra with a long section of duct tape, and her pants fell down with "Oh Mama!" censoring, so they had her wear a robe. In all the episodes, one of the cave women was played by three different actors, and died frequently, but was alive in the next episode, only to be killed again in the next episode. The show also has a cheesy plot for each episode. All episodes end the same: the Prehistoric Glamazon Huntresses were being chased by or battled the Giant Red Space Ant. Xena. ...

MADtv - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (1050 words)
The format of MADtv is a mixture of scenes shot live for a studio audience, and pre-taped short films—both place a heavy emphasis on pop culture parody.
MADtv spoofs other shows, such as the long-running game show The Price is Right, with actors playing Bob Barker and the late Rod Roddy, and it also takes on other celebrities, like Wayne Brady, Kenny Rogers and John Madden.
One recurring skit is the show-within-a-show called Real **********ing Talk with Dollar Bill Montgomery, which is a spoof of other forum-style shows such as Hardball with Chris Matthews and Real Time with Bill Maher.
