User Reviews

This is really supposed to be the replacement to MADtv?

I'm sorry, but this show wasn't funny after the made their 100th repeated joke. All they do is take a new movie and change the title to something that rhymes. I mean "The Fast and the Curious", "Yawn Carter"? The first few episodes were funny, but then they just used the same jokes, and sometimes even spoofed the same TV shows over and over. (Ahem) Twilight. Oh, and there's also a really annoying voice actress that has a lisp, too. I can't stand it every time they put her on! It seems like they spend more time on the hybrid movie names than the actual jokes themselves! MADtv was also really funny because all of there jokes weren't towards every movie that came out! And the animations that they do are just ironic happenings that sometimes make you go "Huh. I get it." Like 2 guys cutting trees down and yelling "Timber!", when it turns out that the trees landed on one another. It just isn't funny.
