First and foremost, these shows are FUNNY. Overall well written and delightfully acted, the original airings were a breath of fresh, well, air in sketch comedy television. When the show began, the diversity of the cast was unprecedented. It still boasts one of the most diverse, not to mention talented, casts in TV history.
Now, as to the Men On Film skits. Yes, the characters are completely over the top. All ILC characters are over the top. That's why it's a COMEDY show. The genius of the MOF skits is contextual. 1990 was a year of extreme backlash against the GLBT community as HIV spread rapidly into the larger population, particularly the African American community. Yet here were two AA men playing fearless, unapologetic, HEALTHY gay men who celebrated their sexuality and displayed their affections. It was nothing short of revolutionary, just like the rest of the show.
So buy it if you must for Jim Carrey at the prime of his goofy sex appeal, then see what the Wayans family were really up to; some of the greatest televised acts of subversion ever.
