A Trip Down Memory Lane: MadTV Parodies Medium
November 4, 2009 by Kona Gallagher
Okay, these are super-old (2007, I think), but I ran across them this weekend on YouTube when I was looking for Medium videos, and the first one is absolutely hysterical. The FOX sketch comedy show, MadTV, did two parodies of Medium. The first one, which is by far my favorite, deals with the question that many Medium fans have: Why won’t anyone ever believe Allison?
Crista Flanagan, who plays Allison, plays her a bit to bimbo-ish, but she does satirize the murmur that Arquette often uses quite well. The actor who plays Devalos, who I believe is Will Sasso, is pretty spot-on, once you get past the fact that he looks and sounds a lot like SNL-er, Darryl Hammond. The only complaint: Joe is a much better husband than they portray him to be!
(Fun Fact: Crista Flanagan now plays Louise on Mad Men, AKA the secretary who chopped off a guy’s foot with a John Deer mower.)
The second video is used more as a vehicle for a recurring MadTV character, Bae Sung, but it’s still fun. You can check it out after the jump.
OMG! Thank you Kona ! This is the most Hilarious post. I loved it !
Loved when Allison kept mumbling to herself while talking to Devolis and loved the spoof on Joes hair.
That totally cracked me up, thanks for posting.

What a Hoot. So funny, I liked when she said we even map quested it for you.
She even sounded like Allison with that high pitched voice. Love Joe and Devolis
