I was coughed on very well as a child, but it seems that these younger people don't understand, or were never educated, in how to cough in people's faces correctly because I've never had the same expectorie sensation in a long, long, time. Our forefathers truly knew how to cough in the face of others. It seems these younger folk just don't appreciate what our forefathers had to fight and cough for. SMH.
Holy shit what a reasonable take. I fear it will be consumed and umm-actually'ed out of existence soon, so gaze all who encounter this upon its concise wisdom while ye still can.
Mad TV had some of the best comedic actors ever. Will Sasso was a Comedic Genius. Comedy is just something you can't teach. You are born with the Comedy Gene.
I mean, "talent" goes a long way, as does having a severely depressed parental figure who you're always trying to cheer up in your youth, clinging to humor as a method to liven up even the most dismal and bleak outlook on life, to be sure they remember to make you both dinner before collapsing into their bed to waste away the evening, numb to the world and everything in it, yourself included. A developed intellect and educational breadth of knowledge encompassing a broad range of topics to reference, as well as a quick wit, because you can't "yes and" effectively - or play characters of any depth or nuance - if you don't have a library of resources and knowledge upon which to draw. But sure. Can't teach it. Not influenced by environmental factors at all.
@@tobiasisrael3758 Ah yes, SNL is lame because popular and Mad TV is lesser-known and underappreciated therefore better. TOTALLY not predictable and tired hipster logic that was cool before it was cool to be cool. Can't go making reasonable and unbiased comparisons in a comment section, can we? No, that would just be ridiculous.
It used to be a historical joke. Because chinese rail workers were needed for some of the most inhumane and dangerous jobs that helped push America west from the east. I mean, crazy levels of danger. Like, going into mines with dynamite. Yaknow... to blow it up clear a path for construction. I will leave out the context of that. So yeah, there were just these random jokes about how they gave them these lavish gifts, promises and 'whores' to keep them motivated. Not much different than S-Bombers in the middle east...
Actually, fun fact: a lot of the women preferred the Chinese rail workers because of 3 reasons. 1. The Chinese always had opium. 2. They have tiny peni. 3 the most absolutely main reason for this was to aquire Chinese food.
Mo collins, Debra Wilson,Alex borstein, etc . They were all incredible. But noone even came close to Will Sassos perfomances. really an underrated comedian.
The irish railworkers are notoriously abusive to opium whores. They were incapable of achieving climax without knocking out a tooth. The angry inch....
There has not been a comedy show since MadTV on television that can top MadTV and there hasn't been a cast on any comedy show since MadTV that can top the cast of MadTV! I don't watch television anymore so when I want to watch comedy I just click on a MadTV video on TH-cam and it always gets me laughing my ass off! Thank You to those who put these videos up.
There has not been a show or cast better since..... but.... you don't watch TV anymore.... so how can you know that? You invalidated your own opinion in the very next sentence. Lol. You should write for SNL!
There hasn't been a show on Television, which I don't watch, that has been as good as MadTV, which I can declare without hesitation despite the fact that I have not watched any comedy shows since MadTV.
It’s great to see Madtv start getting the love it deserves. Fox should never have cancelled it. Time for a reunion and maybe a reboot with as much of the original cast as possible.
Thank you for posting this in its original TV format. Others upload these clips and let it stretch out to fill the widescreen format, making it look really bad.
I luv luv luv Will Sasso! Omg he was my all time favorite cast member on MAD TV! I’ve had a major crush on him ever since! Man I wish MAD TV was available on DVD!
Im willing to bet that Will Sasso is top 5 skit comedy performers of all time. All the cast members had their own flare to the show but Id watch mad T.V. because of Will Sasso.
Both Harry Enfield & Chums and The Fast Show pre-dates it. It's more akin to one of their skits : particularly Country Matters with Bob Fleming. (Which is likely where the cough comes from).
Mad tv was great because the skit ended when it needed to. SNL has too much time to fill, so the sketch ends up awkwardly floundering minutes beyond the punchline.
That's because MadTv was actually well written with a beginning-middle-end and actual punchlines, had a phenomenal cast of talented comedians (Deborah Wilson is an outstanding vocalist and voice actor), and was filmed in advance. Meaning they could do multiple takes and to post-editing. Which means we, the audience, got the cream of the crop every Saturday night with MadTv
LOL! I like when he is Arnold or "scooter" the monkey, in the "Super Smash Box-office Monkey Movie". He also impersonates a little baby mouse called uncle Choo-Choo. Hilarious!!
Ive been coming here for sixteen years and I found a new MadTV clip only today. If I wasnt in excruciating pain I would have a reason to go out the door today
I wasn't a huge fan of MadTV, but they had some gems you never could have seen on SNL. There are some sketches like the the iRaq which were extremely subversive during the early part of the War in Iraq. Sasso and McDonald were par with most great SNL performers in talent.
watch the way he express himself as an Englishman,simply awesome and to me Will Sasso is the funniest comedian and i love all his works as the story teller,clinton,kenny rogers etcetc....,only two comedians i laguh even before they open their mouth,the first is richard pryor n the 2nd is will sasso.
Will Sasso was my favorite besides Michael McDonald for the male actors on the show. I love his Kenny Rogers and Steven Seagal impressions too. I loved Mo, Alex and Debra too!
Sasso is one of the most underused and underappreciated comic actors ever.
truth
And he was 24 years old then.
Not really.
I love his Kenny Rogers impersonation ... lmfao Kenny Rogers : Jackass
Check out 'Loudermilk', he's brilliant on it
"orally servicing Chinese rail workers" they can never say that enough
This show blew SNL out of the water. I can't believe it got axed... Amazing talent ❤.
bc it really started to suck at the end. Bobby Lee was terrible.
The later seasons were nowhere near as good as this stuff. At that point they just put the show out of its misery.
Will Sasso impersonating Steven Seagal is epically hilarious 🤣 and his Kenny Rogers Punk"d is absolutely off the charts hilarious 🤣
Check out his Jesse Ventura.
@@TyTyMcGinty I don't think he disappoints impersonating anyone... The jewel of Canada!
Coming from a french guy! 🤣
My favorite is the Steven Seagal, Kung Fu, Why aren't you believing!
@@TacoMcgee You're talking about Crouching Cops Hidden Badges, one of my favorite too.
I was raised on the dairy, b*tch LOL
You just don't see coughing in the face like this anymore.
Until COVID, I thought it was quite common! 😂😅

Have to disagree...In living color does exist. However this is definitely a close second.
@@tobiasisrael3758 In Living Color was Fantastic as well. Had some of the best comedic actors also. Both Mad TV & In Living Color was better than SNL.

@@jaidaniels905 Servicing Chinese rail workers.
@@jaidaniels905
O, oh.. Hotdog!
😂
Sasso was 26 or 27 in this... Astounding,
Definitely looked 40 already. So odd how people do that.
@@StashySleepy Just like Michael Chiklis. He was 28 when he was starring in The Commish but looked much older.
I was just wondering how old he was here..
Thank you. 😅
@Monroestevens306 it was the 90s. He was young..
Wypipo age terribly
MadTV and In living color was 10 times funnier than SNL
You can say the 10 more times and it would be truer each time. To find a funny SNL skit, you’d have to travel way back in time. There’s a couple.
The actual advertisement for antique roadshow is killing me🤣🤣🤣
If your grandmother has any more of these flasks in her possession she could easily retire from WHORING.
well i wish i had one so i could retire too
Those Chinese rail workers certainly had plenty options.
Back then, a Chinese rail worker couldn't trip and fall without being orally serviced before hitting the ground.
Actually, fun fact: a lot of the women preferred the Chinese rail workers because of 3 reasons. 1. The Chinese always had opium. 2. They have tiny peni. 3 the most absolutely main reason for this was to aquire Chinese food.
😂
😂
@bradjohnson482 😂😅
This is comedy gold! Thank you so much for the compilation.
Mo collins, Debra Wilson,Alex borstein, etc . They were all incredible. But noone even came close to Will Sassos perfomances. really an underrated comedian.
Aries spears. Phil Lamar. Man... what was that blonde who ended up being on king of queens?
They don't make em like this anymore.
Mo Collins is right up there.
Lemons.
The main thing Mad TV churned out was thousands of voice acting jobs for Phil Lamar.
Debra definitely lead the pack
Love and miss sasso.. his jessie Ventura is too perfect
Love his drunk kenny rodger's
Will Sasso is a Top 50 ALL-TIME sketch comedy actor💯
A pioneer in performative coughing.
The coughing got me good
I somehow missed these sketches. Hilarious!😂
This is one of my favorite skits with Will.
Me, too, and there were lots of good ones he was in.
“Son of a bitch, I’m talking to you!”
LOL
That last woman was the best!
I heard Lois Griffin.
@@gregsouthwick4479 me too lol
5:22 I loved his coughing laugh! 😂😂
My ancestors are thankful for their services
And I thank them for their practically slave labor :D
Without the railways how would Amazon be so cheap?
His Jesse Ventura impression makes me weep
You call yourself a patriot?! Jesse will be down in the Baja eating fried tortillas... while orally servicing Chinese rail workers. 😮
How’s that relevant to this video at all?
@@bullmilkwith a pack of wild dogs...... in the Baja
Halibutton orchestrated the BP oil spill. Have you ever eaten long pig. Come on down to bajasota
He was a NAVY SEAL
Will Sasso is so underrated. He should’ve been way more famous than he was.
I've always thought so too
Dudsey Podcasts
So true…
He’s still alive so why say “was”?
@@Sashazur past his prime…he’s a 90’s king.
So much better than snl.
Your mom is better than SNL.
... everything is 😢
They did not play ball with "The message" and just made fun of everything.
It was, that's why it got cancelled, they couldn't adapt it and keep it funny still, I don't care what they say about budget
Everyone says that already
I can’t say peak madtv is better then peak snl but it’s peak years are definitely underrated
Listen.. I don't understand why Chinese rail workers were singled out here. I've always found them to be tender and generous lovers.
Very standup gentlemen. Diplomatic even
What a beautiful story I told myself I wouldn’t cry
The irish railworkers are notoriously abusive to opium whores. They were incapable of achieving climax without knocking out a tooth. The angry inch....
Cause they were poor
I mean, when you've got a small boat you need to make it up with the motion of the ocean.
Best sketch show of all time
"Well done Fenton!"
I want to be a Chinese Railworker

Imagine if Comedy Central had the rights to madtv
Woah calm down there
Man I miss Sasso and Debra and Bobby and Nicole and Michael and Borstein and all the others.. They made my teen years so hilarious!
If you are including Bobby Lee, I am not so sure about him. He was okay. But not among the best, in my opinion.
@@answerman9933 He had his moments. I had a soft side for the blind Kung Fu master skits.

So thankful you brought us this content yes yes. You see I grew up in a funny time yes yes. This wonderful moving picture brings back better times.

Will always makes me laugh...his Steven Segall trying to fly is a fave ! 😅
Man has equsit knowledge. Can tell the history of the person just by looking at the item 😂
I LOVE ❤️ WILL SOOOOO MUCH !! HE CRACKS ME UP !! GREAT TALENT !!😊❤
I once sat through every MadTV episode in a row as I worked on some code. We need another show like this.
Love how under this i got a sponsored ad for the real antique roadshow series
Will Sasso is absolutely hysterical, marvelously talented actor super high energy and always puts his best effort into his characters.
Sasso kills me. ❤😂❤
5:21 omg I almost died while eating a strawberry 😅
Please chew more thoroughly. Thank you.
Lolol omgosh... will is still hilarious... the coughing lol
Im willing to bet that Will Sasso is top 5 skit comedy performers of all time. All the cast members had their own flare to the show but Id watch mad T.V. because of Will Sasso.
Bet who? For what? It's a subjective list. He's top 5 for you, so... Great. Go with it.
these three sketches are the perfect comedic arc
This has a very Fawlty Towers or Monty Python sort of feel. I could definitely see John Cleese playing this character.
Both Harry Enfield & Chums and The Fast Show pre-dates it. It's more akin to one of their skits : particularly Country Matters with Bob Fleming. (Which is likely where the cough comes from).
Big mike slide right up in that dress
There's something about the way that lady says,"sob I'm talking to you"😂😂
Motherly, maybe? Like a red-head with an oafish husband?
Loved MadTV. Best sketch show.
Well done fenten! (Proceeds coughing in her face)😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
2:20 you could tell from the enthusiastic coughing that this was pre-COVID.
Was everyone servicing Chinese rail workers back then????
They wish😂.
There were a LOT of Chinese rail workers in the late 1800s.
I mean, why wouldn't you?
No, just the opium whores

That is another skit which exists, yes. Thank you for the concise summary, I will never watch that one, for I now have no need.
Will Sasso is a fucking gem. But Mo Collins keep her face twisted and barely recognizable was superb in itself.

@@StashySleepy my fault that came out wrong lol you know what I mean 😂

that was funny... I needed a good laugh.... thanks.....
i'm glad.......... you got......a good laugh.......

2 of the all time best actors of MadTv!
Bobby Lee was once a Chinese rail worker
6:16 will almost lost it when she said granny bj, i dont think that line was in the script
