I saw Hoppy Potty at the Berlinkastute Festival in '95. They passed out syrup packets to the audience after the 13 minute concert. I got to see Elka 2 years later eating walnuts next to a Stoopwaffle truck, very nice person.
I had no idea it was a real band. I thought that they were just poking fun at Norwegian pop culture in general. Norwegians and Swedes, Finns all remind me of Mormons. They are weird and kinda goofy, but the friendliest people you could possibly meet.
Aanonlie Marius America seems to have melded the regions of Scandinavia and Germany into one thing. This is also obvious in Golden Girls, where Rose's nonsensical Scandinavian words sound German in origin.
I think this is less mocking Europeans in general, and more making fun of the specific type of Euro-pop/dance thing that hit the USA in the late 1990's. Europeans getting angry at this would be like Americans getting angry at a Justin Bieber parody.
I just watched that interview and had to have fun Hoppy Potty! Those poor girls. And you'd never know in a million years, the ordeal they went through here.
@oaklandj You have clearly been in Europe and understand every little facet of the musical taste that is predominant in the area. Never mind the booming industry of music that never reaches USA but sells just fine in the rest of the world, not to mention the vast underground of alternative music that is far more different and innovative than anything your "Brooklyn Scene" could ever produce. Nope, all that means nothing. Aqua is the shit!
No, they don't. Even before "Ace of Base" and "Modern Talking", they liked music of this genre... (Even before ABBA - "Eurovision" showcased music like this dreck.)
I see a mix of ABBA, Aqua and Ace of base. :) I'm Norwegian, and this is one of my favourite MAD-TV sketches. :D
Very funny that an American sketch show parodied europop 😂
Don’t forget Toy-Box😂😂😂
"Inga make the move-lips..."
I don't know why I find that line so funny.
Pat Kilbanes eyebrow is the star 😂
I love how they speak german.. Close to the scandinavian language, yes, but pronounciation is from another world! And this is SO typically swedish!!
Omg I'm a huge Mad fan but I've never seen this skit.
Excellent rendition of a Scandinavian pop group
ikr, known them for like 10 years yet just saw this for the 1st time. And it's wholesome, love it
I had never seen this before either. Loved it!
I remember this one! But I didn’t know they had done prior Hoppy Potty skits before this
I loved music like this when I was a kid, and this sketch was such a stingingly accurate representation of these groups.
i thought it was an ace of base parody
I still hum this song on occasion or sing "everybody want fun potty." It just pops in my head at random moments.
Alex face when she was walking out of the dressing room was priceless! 🤣
2024 and this song has been stuck in my head probably more than two decades.

Oh snap they're a real band? Lol I didn't realize that!!
@@taitjones6310 they aren't real lol
I love the story. They passed out syrup packets lol
lmao love this folklore 😂😂😂
Searching for this sketch had TH-cam drag me across so many potty training videos.
I mean, two birds one stone. I can almost do it on my own now.
ROFL!
This is one of the funniest things that cast did and it seems like it went right over most of the audience's head.
Yeah. I always expected them to do more Hoppy Potty but it is possible they didn't because Pat Kilbane left the show soon after
I was wondering that too.
I think they were inspired by Aqua and Vengaboys (The group with the sailor and the cowboy, plus the two sexy girls) mostly.
They were all America knew of that genre of music, really.
EVERYBODY WANT FUN PARTY
Hoppy Potty reunion tour!!
I never knew there was another video of Hoppy Potty. Interesting to see.
That's the Halloween version
LMAO "PUT YOUR CLAP TOGETHER!"
Well, I used to listen to stuff like this back in the 90s, but only when I was drunk. I think I was drunk very often.
Should've done a guest appearance on LazyTown. It would've rocked.
finally i have been looking for this everywhere
These band they rock so hard I loves them so much!
When they said everybody want fun potty, I felt that.
i enjoyed it
You're lying if you say that this song isn't catchy and gets stuck in your head for days! 😂
"Put your clap together" lol
I was thinking Aqua really! XD
Recorded On KOKH-TV FOX 25 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
WOOT! Hoppy Potty!
That was actually a good song!
Right? With a somewhat better production this could pass as a late 90s/early 00s euro hit
Somebody needs to put this video on youtube but only the song
Whoah the comments for intense ...
It really is just a Madtv skit folks. No need to troll each other ...
Potty on!!!
eurovision in a nutshell
Didnt see anyone comment on Mo'sf fuckup
@oaklandj
I never knew I do, but thanks for telling me...
MINE YYYAAAAAAARRRRLLLL!!! XD
@madoldies Don't forget about Aqua - I definitely think the band is based a lot on Aqua because they're Scandinavian.
EVERY BODY WANT FUN POTTY
Jello Shots Potty? Heh, that takes me back.
This is like that episode of Arthur.
So why is a scandinavian group speaking cod-german? :D
Aanonlie Marius America seems to have melded the regions of Scandinavia and Germany into one thing. This is also obvious in Golden Girls, where Rose's nonsensical Scandinavian words sound German in origin.
Or bcos the German accent is more convenient and recognizable thus more vulnerable to ridicule.
Alex when she leaves the interview lol ...
She's like "WTF??!!" 🤣

@oaklandj So are you, lol. Generalising both music and any person who lives in Europe.
Give it up for Mo and Nicole, they had bloody feet from doing take after take dancing in those shoes on those platforms. They were in incredible pain.
I just watched that interview and had to have fun Hoppy Potty! Those poor girls. And you'd never know in a million years, the ordeal they went through here.
@@phillipford2216 Where can I find the interview?
@@Catenfur It's from 2020, "MadTV Reunion | Mo Collins and Nicole Sullivan Interview at Mainframe Comic Con", at 17:35.
@@phillipford2216 Thank you!
Had to come here after listening to ABBA
Yum yum chocostick
They were making fun of the European pop bands that were big in the 90's like Aqua and Vegaboys.
Honestly, though it's supposed to be comedic, this is quite the bop.

I always thought that Mo Collins is a twin sister of Frida from Abba. Now I I'm sure.
Frida passed away. Don't speak ill of her.
@@davidgarris2513wtf are you talking about? She didn't
@@draggindrugin sorry I was thinking about Laura branigan. Frida is 74
@@davidgarris2513 damn! You scared the sh out of me...
Abba and Ace of Base had babehs together this would be Hoppy Potty lmfaooooooooooo 🤣
It is indeed only making fun of "Euro-Disco", but Jason Bieber is from CANADA, not the US.
I don't know about you, but i'm finnish, and were total metalheads!
This show was never as good after Will Sasso left.
Fox 25 pffff live outa Roxbury
Is this ABBA😂😂😂
Damn, Pit Kilbane looks a lot liek Pete Steele
No, they don't. Even before "Ace of Base" and "Modern Talking", they liked music of this genre... (Even before ABBA - "Eurovision" showcased music like this dreck.)
Pat kikbine is creepy af! In this one hahaha
@oaklandj Even this is better than Justin Bieber and other shit on radios
They're like ABBA,only...better!
If they're Scandinavian, why the fuck would they speak German?
better than todays shit music
lmao mo collins messed up her line
Soooo American´s don´t listen to crappy music? ...=)
Was.. Lol
Negative stereotypes of white people are so funny. ( sarcasm)
