Mad TV Season 1 Episode 18 Episode #118

Mad TV was a sketch comedy series that aired from 1995 to 2009. Season 1 episode 18, titled "Episode #118", originally aired on May 6, 1996.

The episode opens with a parody of the popular talk show, "The Jerry Springer Show", with cast members playing outrageous characters in ridiculous situations. This sketch, titled "The Rupert J Show", includes wild audience members, multiple fist fights, and unexpected guests.

Next up is a spoof on the science fiction film "Independence Day", imagined as a theme park ride. The sketch, titled "Independence Day at Universal Studios", features Mad TV cast members having a hilariously disastrous time on the new roller coaster attraction.

Following that, we see a parody of the crime drama "NYPD Blue", where the cast explores what the show would be like if it took place in medieval times. The sketch, titled "NYPD Britches", starts with a classic chase scene and then takes a turn with unexpected subplots and humor.

Another memorable sketch from this episode is titled "Swan Humpin". It shows footage of real swans mating with bizarre commentary and visual gags added in post-production for comedic effect.

The cast also takes on a spoof commercial for a revolutionary new product called "Pizza Bones", which claims to be a delicious bone marrow treat for dogs.

Later in the show, we see a sketch that spoofs style makeovers, with a satirical take on the TV show "Style With Elsa Klensch" called "Style With Hirem". This sketch features a flamboyant fashion guru played by cast member Phil LaMarr, providing his own brand of unconventional style advice.

Finally, the episode concludes with a parody of the horror film "The Exorcist". The sketch, titled "The Exorcist II: The Bulimic Years", follows a teenage girl who is possessed by a demon who only wants to make her binge and purge.

Overall, Mad TV season 1 episode 18 offers a mix of topical spoofs, outrageous characters, and raunchy humor that was typical of the show during its heyday.
