In this brief comedy segment from MADtv Season 8, Episode 11, cast member Mo Collins impersonates Madonna as she delivers her New Year's resolution in an exaggerated, faux-sophisticated mid-Atlantic accent. The sketch plays up Madonna's well-known pretentious persona -- her affected British accent, her air of superiority, and her self-important artistic reinventions. The segment is part of a larger "Celebrity New Year's Resolutions" sketch that also features John Madden (Frank Caliendo) and Shaquille O'Neal (Aries Spears) each announcing their own resolutions. The 52-second clip captures Collins' sharp impression of the pop icon to comic effect.

The sketch is part of a multi-celebrity "Celebrity New Year's Resolutions" segment, not a standalone sketch. The Madonna portion is the most-circulated clip from this segment. Mo Collins was a repertory cast member for Season 8, appearing in 24 of 25 episodes. The video was uploaded to YouTube by channel "Rocco's Videos" on October 13, 2025, and runs 52 seconds. Season 8 of MADtv aired on Fox between September 14, 2002 and May 17, 2003.
