Here's a MADtv's take on the television ad of the popular US restaurant chain The Olive Garden. Now if you've ever eaten in this fine Italian bistro, you'll know that it's funny because it's sooo true!
The Olive Garden. When you're here, you're like a family. A drunk loud family with taste buds dulled by cheap booze. But hey, the breadsticks and salads are pretty good!

"The Olive Garden. When you’re here, you’re like a family. A drunk loud family with taste buds dulled with cheap booze. But hey, the breadsticks and sandwiches are pretty good!"
He actually says, "...taste buds dulled **by** cheap booze." and "...the bread sticks and **salads** are pretty good!"
The whole "black girlfriend" thing was really kinda sad.
MADtv is funnier to me than SNL, probably because I just don't get New York humor (that's also why Jay Leno's funnier than David Letterman to me).
And paying more than 10 bucks for a plate of pasta has always made me feel like being robbed.
Of course, this comes from someone who grew up about as disconnected from real Italian food as possible -- people who grew up in an Italian family or often went out to an Italian family restaurant have a different idea of what Italian food should be, and OG just doesn't match that idea.
Oh, and I stopped watching SNL before MAD tv even existed.
Bobby Lee's Memoirs of a Geisha made me fall over laughing.
