The best ads fake it!

Its unfortunate that we don't get MADTV in most of Asia, simply because its one of the longest running sketch shows around (apart from Saturday Night Live). Though MADTV doesn't boast a long line of luminaries from its alumni, a lot of its sketches are ballsier, crude, grosser and just a heck of a lot more funny than the oft PG restricted feel of SNL. Though perhaps not as droll or intelligent as British Sketch shows, MADTV deserves its own little pedestal in the halls of throwaway TV comedy.

A few posts ago, I praised subversive commercials for their inherently anarchistic value. So I positively get a spirit boner when I approach the topic of Fake Ads! This is one of my favorite recurring sketches on MADTV. Watch em' and weep...with joy!







WTF don't we have MADtv on cable?!
