Back in 2006, MADtv, the alternative Saturday Night Live sketch show, ran on FOX from 1995-2009 (yeah, that long). Nicole Sullivan was one of the truly talented comedians to perform on the show who created a variety of characters, including the right-wing, racist, country singer Darlene McBride. Darlene first appeared in the third season of MADtv, in 1997. She began with these countrified lines:
Take back America to 1955.
Take back America to when God was still alive.
The sketch is funny because Nicole Sullivan is funny. The sketch is frightening because it has been 20 years and we still have so many of these same yahoos running around.
Go below the fold to watch Darlene’s Thanksgiving and Christmas albums. The first song is titled: “Hillary the Red-Horned Clinton.” Seriously, 1997.
