MADtv Recurring Characters - Antonia Timmens

Antonia Timmens (Nicole Sullivan), who spoke with a noticeable lisp and may have been mildly retarded, found everyday activities and normal conversations challenging. Skits featuring Antonia usually showed her attempting to perform a variety of jobs clearly beyond her abilities, such as piloting an aircraft, creating signs, and working at a fast-food restaurant. Other characters became increasingly frustrated by her, particularly when she would respond with one of her inane catchphrases, such as "I have a cat named Cici".

Phil LaMarr usually appeared as a character in Antonia's sketches, even revealing in one sketch that he has played the same character in all of the sketches. In a game show sketch called "Gimme a Clue", patterned like The $25,000 Pyramid or Password, LaMarr's character tries to describe the word "cat", to which Antonia repeatedly says "Cici". When time runs out, LaMarr's character asks what a "Thee-Thee" is (due to Antonia's lisp), prompting Antonia to reply that it is her cat, frustrating LaMarr.
