“And finally*, the award for the name that rhymes with James Bond…Alicia Thompson” 😂😂😂 Michael McDonald is comedy at its pinnacle, and I agree 1000% that MadTV beats SNL *any day!
The award for most improved athlete goes to Karen. Oops, I forgot. Your name at birth was Kyle, and you're a biological male so we can't actually give you an award. Nice try, Kyle.
Is there any evidence that participation trophies improve a persons development long term? By a significant amount. A 5% improvement is not significant. And who exactly came up with the idea in the first place?
This unfortunately has come true; people are so obsessed with winning to the point where these kids have unhealthy expectations. It’s not a bad thing to lose at all, so long as you’re a good loser and you’ll try again next time.
It's amazing how this skit is even more accurate now than it was 20 years ago. Mad TV is sorely missed and Michael McDonald deserves way more recognition, what a funny and talented man.
edit: by the way, you can tell how much fun the girls had because you see them crack a smile oftentimes…just a perfect skit 10/10
My dad (a former national soccer and volleyball playing in his home country) was a soccer and basketball coach for a lower level league for boys and girls when I was playing in my juniors (6-12) and I'd go with him to pick up all the improved, best teammate, most dependable, elite attitude, future coach, most mature, most patient, elite energy, best passer, etc trophies (he would make up and buy ridiculous ones like future engineer, future scientist, superhuman athlete) at end of season. He always smiled, had a great attitude, was seriously a great coach and he was in great shape for someone in their late 50s at the time.
After passing them out on the last day he'd tell me on the ride home that those trophies went to the kids with loser parents who instill no confidence in them and every car ride home he'd complain about how crappy the parents were who were there but chatted mostly and how bad the kids played (I was no star myself in basketball or soccer 😂).
Long story short, in high school and college I was approached so many times by boys/girls who said they still had the improved trophy or best teammate or some ribbon, and I'd jump on a call with my dad or phone skype and he'd say "how are you?!" "you were the star of the team!" "how are your parents?" "I was just thinking about that season the other day, you really helped carry that team!" "you look fantastic!" "what are you studying?" "that's the perfect major right now, I knew there was something special about you." and I'd watch their smile grow even wider after the call with a twinkle in their eye and my dad would text me 5 min after "see I told you" , "remember how many games we lost bc of him?" "remember how he used to just stand there and do nothing and I gave him most dependable?" "that kid's loser parents who drive mercedes forgot snacks 6 times over 2 seasons" and we'd have a little laugh about it.
And it still happens today on LinkedIn!!!! I get messages from time to time (i'm in my 30s now) asking how my dad is doing and how he made some impact on their lives. In my bias opinion they mean something.
Thats ALL LEFTIST DEMOCRAT'S 4 YAH ! AND ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE. LOTZ WORSE ! TRUMP 2024 ! LETS TURN THE OTHER 50% OF AMERICANS INTO WINNERS INSTEAD OF ABSOLUTE LOSERS !
I don't believe in giving awards for the sake of giving awards, so that nobody feels left out. We live in a real world, and we need to start giving kids the real world experience. Some people are good at soccer some are good at math, and rest need to find what they're good at. Simple. Why take the credit from the deserving players and give everybody an award so their credibility is also diluted with the mediocrity of others. The most goals award goes to the one who scored the best. That's it. Other awards like always on time kinda shit makes people think they can make it in s field they're not good at. And we can all see such things in our movies and music. Stupid people get to make music that sucks and most talented ones are left behind. I know this is just a skit, but it's very realistic.
I shouldn't say this, because it's basically a comedy, but this skit clearly depicts the society of ours today. The kids are getting trophies whether they win or not.
The origins of entitlement. Kids needs to learn how to deal with failure. "You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day" – Pops (or whoever it was who said it before him 😄)

This was very adorable. 😅
Did Mad TV predict SJWs, Snowflakes, Feminazis, woke culture
I liked the most creepy award.
Never knew Mikey had such a big heart. He is no Grinch.
And they all grew up to be Republicans. So ahead of it’s time.
I love how conservatives who insist that their kids be treated special pretend that others are at fault for this.

the creepy kid sneaking up on him was the best!
Basically participation trophies! 😂😂😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Decades ahead of their time, it would seem.
Now they give out rings!
The difference between Mad TV and Saturday live is Mad TV is actually funny
The name who sounds most like James Bond – Alicia Thompson. 😆

The day they started giving awards to losers is the day our future died
This like the modern NBA.
The volume's too low.
MadTV was so ahead of its time. They could see social trends long before they entered social discourse
that stare into the camera after "special snowflakes" was pure gold
straight outta History Channel
this was so ahead of its time
"inclusivity" in a nutshell.
2:17 i died his not even trying anymore lol
This was a head of its time lol
"_______________" 😄 haha.
Thats ALL LEFTIST DEMOCRAT'S 4 YAH ! AND ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE. LOTZ WORSE !
TRUMP 2024 ! LETS TURN THE OTHER 50% OF AMERICANS INTO WINNERS INSTEAD OF ABSOLUTE LOSERS !
The last girl shouldn’t have received that award at all. She had no imagination. Participation awards are bullshit!
It is no longer comedy when it becomes real.
Millennials – The origin story
Man madtv predicted the future again. Special snowflakes was even the icing on the cake. Lol!
Cleanest cleats hahahahaha
Gosh, that was painful. It has come to this.
Award shows are so mind numbingly boring 😂😂😂
“Cleanest Cleats.”
😂😂😂😂

This should be a 2020 skit but it probably offend way too many snowflakes
…and now those special snowflakes are burning, looting and murdering…so much for the "every kid gets a trophy" generation..
Sad but truth this days fucking trophies for last place what a joke.
😂🤣
Looks like today’s trophies being handed out.
