KISS Vs. Michael Jackson
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Michael Jackson materializes in a fog-filled void, still calling for Debra, and learns he has been pulled into KISS's world to answer for himself. The band mock him and open fire with lightning from their guitars; Jackson flees, hides in a recycling bin and even transforms into a little girl in glasses, which does not fool them. He then insists he is a lover rather than a fighter, confesses to his killing spree and offers to turn himself in, only to turn on the band and summon an army of boys he has recruited. KISS zap the boys into face-painted KISS fans who turn on their recruiter, then combine their powers to blast Jackson until he vanishes. The band warn viewers that he always comes back and promise KISS will be there when he does, before a closing caption assures that no real rock stars were harmed.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
It ain't Hootie and the Blowfish, bubble boy. You're going down.
I'm a lover, not a fighter.
He always comes back. And when he does, call us. KISS will be there.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
This sketch aired in Mad TV's Halloween Spooktacular (season 4, episode 6, October 31, 1998), an episode in which KISS appeared in several sketches; it picks up from the episode's running slasher segment, whose killer is unmasked as Michael Jackson.
