After fourteen seasons, MadTV is finally being taken off the air. Most of the time, MadTv was more than a tadbit painful and unfunny to me. However, over the years they have had a few sketches that were pretty stinking funny. Michael McDonald, Stephanie Weir, Mo Collins, Will Sasso and Alex Borstein were among my favorite cast members in the amazing sketches. At least with the goodness of youtube, these gems will never be forgotten. So because I have a feeling you’ve missed them… Here are a few of my favorite MadTV sketches. (Each is just one in a sketch arc, so please please please checkout all of the others.)

Zac bought a new watch at Wal-Mart.  Yeah, that IS a calculator watch, and we had to scour Flagstaff to find it.  He’s pretty excited that he can tell time and ‘calculate’ on it.  Also, he can spell three things… hello, boobs, and hello boobs.  Awesome.”

This TayTay video ranks up there with the classic J-Lo/Ja Rule BSM Video scavenger hunt masterpieces. (Like when we reenacted the Titanic, made fun of Anna’s CZ ring, and danced in front of the mall.  Oh, the memories and night vision.)  If you don’t get the doll/phone references toward the end of the video, be glad you have enough of a life to not understand but ask me because it’s brilliant.  No wonder I have a girl crush on Miss Taylor in the non-creepy way of course.

IMHO, the best thing to come out of this political season (entertainment-wise, that is) has to be this sketch from Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update Thursday.  It’s a pretty big deal to get Will Ferrell back on the show, and this was brilliant!  Enjoy…

Doncha hate when this happens?!?! Found this on the board today.

I have never wanted anything more than to get to use a bullhorn.  This is my life’s dream.  A dream that almost became a realization last week when we thought a student info session might draw enough of a crowd that we would move outside.  I was promised ‘bullhorn’ duty.  I spent a good part of my morning on a quest for the great mega-horn.  I asked everyone on campus that I could think with no luck.  Then randomly I ran into the track and field head coach (a friend) who made a quick phone call and sent me to the dome to retrieve my prize.  I had never before stood on the floor of the empty dome and almost wanted to practice my Heisman pose but had more important priorities…  my bullhorn.  After a quick stop for batteries, I was ready to rock and roll.  I might have even turned it on in ’siren mode’ in the car and temporary deafened Cory. ( Sorry:( ) But, despite all of my excitement… all of my hard work… all my lifelong… I did not get to use the bullhorn and had to return it.  I wonder if my mom and dad will buy me one for Christmas, or if the end to that story will be much like the time we let Zac have an airhorn.  Nevermind.
