SNL can be funny, it depends on the topic. MADtv was great when it had people like Mo Collins, Stephanie Weir, Debrah Wilson; after several years and all their better actors moving on, and replacements that weren't much better (Although Nicole Parker and Jordan Peele were pretty decent), it just turned into a show that had stupid skits that weren't even remotely funny.
SNL may not always be funny, but it's combination of popular actors, musicians, and it live airing really brings a level of merit to it that MadTV, or FOX for that matter, never really had. MadTV was very funny, and it lasted so long because it was a SPOOF machine. Everything from music videos, movies, to shows. The level of mimicry really made it relatable to young people. But it was never able to go beyond that. It had a hysterical, talented cast but it was conceived and executed differently.
SNL has also spawed movies and lauched plenty of actors careers. No one from MadTV, as FUNNY as they were, managed to have very lucrative or groudbreaking careers. Also, one key ingredient is SNL has become ALL about promotion, promotion, promotion. Who cares if Justin Beiber can't act or sing - we're gonna have him on SNL because he's popular. So Paris Hilton is awful, she's still going to host because, gosh darn it, she's popular for some reason. CONTINED
It's funny how NO ONE remembers those final two AWFUL seasons of MadTV. SNL is still on because it still makes money. MadTV stopped being profitable. Also, SNL still manages to capture the eye of pop culture. MadTV was never able to do that. Also, Mad and SNL have very different sensabilities when it comes to humor. SNL hasn't been very good in a long time, but because it's live it is able to comment on things sooner also (the death of Gadafi and Bin Laden for one). CONTINUED.
It takes an incredible amount of talent not just to write these skits, but also for the actors to impersonate the voices, tones, accents, facial expressions, mannerisms, body language and habits of the real-life celebrities. Major props to Mad TV. This show really should be still on the air.
@stonebridge999 aaa come on, SNL is and will always be tha bomb, dont understand why Mad Tv Fans Hate Snl, i love Mad Tv and SNL. Still pissed Mad Tv got canceled.
@stonebridge999 yeah, i loved it back when the women were really big. molly shannon, cheri oteri, maya rudolph, ana gasteyer and racher dratch where all really amazing. after around 02-03 tho, it just really went downhill. madtv however, got better each and every year. i'll never understand how it wasn't more popluar than it was. however it appears that there's a huge online fan community for it like us tho, and i'm happy whoever owns the rights to it lets these vids stay up.
@stonebridge999 Mad Tv got really bad the last 2 seasons... I wish they brought it back though... with the season 12 cast. oh well. still better then snl for sure
@Thedigg13 Okay.. We're glad that you shared your opinion with us......... And btw, I don't really think they're jelous of her, it's more like that they think Ellen's jokes and dancing in her show are bad, but still ridiculously fun to watch, so they just had to make a parody out of it.. :)
@snoozer998 Or they could've had Michael McDonald do his Stuart voice with a brown bowl wig. I mean it's uncanny how much Stuart and Biebs sound alike and from I've seen they dress the same too. Weird...
@LANPENNER007 I cant pinpoint the 1st song but I think its a version of 'Im Every Woman', the second is a version of 'The Hustle', and the third is a version of 'Everybody dance now'. All just tgarbage throw togethers to avoid copyright laws and still keep it catchy and recognizable.
The comments made by greatamerican2010 were 100% UNCALLED FOR. I don't like Ellen DeGeneres, either, but not because she's gay. I find her to be rather unfunny. This parody captures her lack of comedic skills PERFECTLY! It also helps that John Madden is in the skit, because that drives it home even more.

@Mahaney82 You're right about the second and probably the third song, but the first one is "We are family".
About the third one - it's either "Everybody Dance Now" or "Here We Go".

Van McCoy - The Hustle
C&C Music Factory - Everybody Dance Now ( or Here We Go )
