That shits funny!!!
The SNL skit was hilarious. I caught it when it aired two weeks ago. One of the better Steve Jobs skits SNL has done.
The MadTV one … not the other… thats just shit.
I love that one!
How could some of those people who commented think that this was supposed to be real lol. I thought this was funny. Even Madtv gets it and is obviously making fun of all the people who are going bashing the hell out of the iphone before they even have one to mess with.
snl is going down the drain, i’d have to say the madtv bit was a lot funnier.
Guess it’s back on YouTube. Watch it while you can.
Mad TV was the best. Very Funny.
SNL = Sorry No Laughs
Jobs’ has actors to do it…but of course Ballmer does it for himself!
The MadTV skit reminds me of Ron Popeil demonstrating a gadget and the audience going crazy over it.
MadTV=1 SNL=0
The MadTV skit reminded me of the poster who said he had interviewed Steve and that he was evil.
That Mad tv sketch hits a little too close to the mark. Steve Jobs scares me. Now, when can I get one of those?
Yep, MadTV wins this round. The frightened audience accusing him of witchcraft represents the typical Wall Street analyst and Windows sufferer.
MadTV = a little corny, but made me laugh
SNL = meh
MDN: “income,” as in “income the spoofs!”
You guys thought these sketches were funny?
Well maybe a bit humourous but pretty juvenile.
All I likes was MadTV’s “iPod ON” with the Mac chime.
After that it just got daft.
Oh well.
Maybe the next sketch will actually be funny

Yep, MadTV won that round since it was actually clever and not just an unfunny rehash of the unveiling. Definitely tweaked “The Cult of Mac” / “Steve Jobs is God” angle in a funny way. Plus, the host was cuter.

Those were pretty funny.
Has anyone seen the spoof on Conan. I think its the best one.
Neither holds a candle to Dick In A Box.
He had me with, “iPhone on…” CHUHNNNGGGG! MDN’s take is spot on.
MadTV sucks. Hasn’t been funny since that fat drunk slob Artie Lange left.
The SNL impression of Steve Jobs is far funnier.
Also, too many non-whites on MadTV, so … points off right there.
Cant complain about free press.
The interesting thing is, these skits only work because, well, their target audiences know SJ as a rockstar, and have likely even watched the keynote.
Apple is REALLY at the top of its game in the free publicity department. Conversely, there are plenty of teens and 20-somethings who have not even heard of Zune.
All that and a billion for last quarter’s net. (That’s with a ‘b’).
Man, it’s gotta be good to be Apple right now.
Please, everyone, talk s–t about them and drive down that stock price. Last summer it hit the 50s… can we get it back down to the 60s? Ka-ching!
Remember, when you REALLY believe in a company, you want the stock price down… it can always go up later. =)
@Dick
“Also, too many non-whites on MadTV, so … points off right there.” – repulsive and disgusting
The MadTV skit was better… if you were on PCP.
The MadTV skit was hilarious. Brought a whole new angle to the Cult of Mac and Steve’s RDF.
Was there ever a product announcement that penetrated the general public’s consciousness as thoroughly as the introduction of the iPhone? This is just further proof how succesful the keynote speech was.
Why are there no links here?
God, SNL blows- that was just awful. I did not even crack a smile.
At least the MadTV skit can be construed as satire on both Jobs and the iLemmings. Not too bad.
These days, SNL is just lame, and MadTV tries far too hard to be edgy and nasty.
A sad state of affairs. I’m rather amazed they are both still on the air, but the networks must have no alternatives. I wonder- have they ever watched THE DAILY SHOW?
i like how steve jobs is presented as having supernatural powers
I liked the SNL skit better than the MadTV skit. Quite funny

What I like about the SNL skit is the Steve Jobs impersonation, very accurate.
SNL used to be funny. A long long long long long time ago. Now it’s apparently existing on pure inertia.
iPhone, DISAPPEAR ME!!!
Scrolling and eternal life?!?!?!
