Mad TV Season 1 Episode 21 Mad TV Goes to Movies

Mad TV is a sketch comedy show that aired on Fox from 1995 to 2009. Season 1 episode 21, titled "Mad TV Goes to the Movies," features sketches parodying popular films.

The episode begins with a parody of Scream, in which a masked killer attacks a woman in her home. However, the woman quickly turns the tables on the killer and reveals that she is actually an actress auditioning for a horror movie. The skit pokes fun at the cliches of horror films, and features appearances by Mad TV regulars such as Nicole Sullivan and Phil LaMarr.

Next up is a parody of Batman Forever, starring Will Sasso as the caped crusader and Michael McDonald as Robin. The sketch focuses on the homoerotic undertones of the Batman and Robin relationship and features a number of jokes at their expense. The sketch also includes appearances by Stuart and Miss Swan, two popular Mad TV characters.

The third skit is a spoof of Pulp Fiction, with Aries Spears as Samuel L. Jackson's character Jules and Debra Wilson as Uma Thurman's character Mia. The sketch follows the plot of the film, but with exaggerated performances and ridiculous twists. For example, Jules' famous speech about divine intervention is interrupted by a character who insists on reading him a bedtime story. The sketch also features a number of popular Mad TV characters, including Ms. Swan and the Vancome Lady.

The next sketch is a parody of The Lion King, in which Aries Spears plays a grown Simba who insists on breastfeeding from his lioness mother. The skit is outrageous and absurd, but pokes fun at the over-the-top emotions of Disney films.

Following this is a fake trailer for a fake movie called Sexually Intimidated Male, in which a man is harassed by a group of aggressive women. The trailer is intentionally over-the-top and ridiculous, with the male character being chased down by women wielding dildos and other sex toys.

The final sketch of the episode is a commercial for a fake movie called "Adults Only," which promises to be the filthiest movie ever made. The sketch is a commentary on the trend of increasingly explicit and gratuitous sex scenes in movies, with the actors gleefully promoting the film's graphic content.

Overall, Mad TV Goes to the Movies is a typical episode of the show, featuring a mix of absurdity, satire, and social commentary. The sketches are all well-performed, with the actors committing fully to their roles and the outrageous scenarios. Fans of the show will enjoy this episode, which showcases some of Mad TV's best and most recognizable characters.
