MAD

An animated parody show created by Warner Bros. Animation, based on the iconic humor magazine Mad. Much like the magazine, Mad the TV series presents parodies on anything and everything. Each parody is rendered in a different style of animation, and few of the sketches last for more than a minute. Also, you get animated Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin shorts. Basically, it's either a less line-crossing version of Robot Chicken with a little bit of Ka Blam or Mad TV if it stuck to the source material for longer than three seasons, was 15 minutes long, had more animated sketches than live-action sketches, and didn't feel like an Alternate Company Equivalent of Saturday Night Live.

It premiered on Cartoon Network on September 6, 2010, right after the premiere of Regular Show. It came back for what was intended to be a second season, according to The Other Wiki, premiering on February 8, 2011. However, it was later recatagorized into Season 1 and the actual second season premiered in August 22, 2011.

This show is not to be confused with the FOX sketch show Mad TV, though, according to The Other Wiki, MAD is actually the revived and revamped version of Mad TV said to come after its 2009 cancellation.

Tropes present:
"Buzz: And Julia Stiles, you were there too! ...And then you really weren't in anything after that, which is weird, because you were great in Ten Things I Hate About You..."
 * Adam Westing: The show is starting to take a page from Robot Chicken and casting characters with the actor that plays them in other shows, such as Diedrich Bader in many of the Batman skits, Andrew WK as himself, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and Will Friedle as Lion-LOL in ThunderLOLcats.
 * "2 Broke Powerpuff Girls" gives us a twofer, reprising their roles are Tara Strong as Bubbles and Tom Kane as Professor Utonium (presumably, he's the narrator of the sketch) and Him.
 * Tara Strong also appeared quite prominently in "My Little War Horse", going so far as to advertise her appearance ahead of time on Twitter. The pony she played as had a striking resemblance to Twilight Sparkle.
 * In that same episode, Tara also voiced Raven in the Teen Titanic sketch.
 * Frank Welker even reprised his role as Garfield in "Garfield of Dreams".
 * More recently, Michael Sinterniklaas voiced Leonardo and Billy Dee Williams voiced Lando Calrissian.
 * Affectionate Parody: This is how most of the skits are.
 * And You Were There: Used in "The Buzz Identity" as a parody of The Wizard of Oz.

"Anchor: We return you to MAD, already in... the middle of a Couch Gag."
 * Animated Adaptation: In a sense; some of the jokes are culled from the magazine itself.
 * Not to mention a lot of features are brought over from the magazine, like Spy vs. Spy, Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions, Sergio Aragones's "Drawn Out Dramas", and sketches in the style of Don Martin.
 * Art Shift: Various animation styles are used, just like its magazine counterpart.
 * Spy vs. Spy has it: the animation ranges from ink scribble style, clean Flash animation, and in the most 2nd season: claymation.
 * Sometimes the style even resembles shows like Ka Blam and El Tigre.
 * Black Comedy: There is a rather depressing short skit depicting Lightning McQueen being crushed in a car crusher because his transmission was ruined. They didn't care about the fact that he could talk, he was still junk.
 * Bread Eggs Breaded Eggs: "2012 Dalmatians" has the president inform that the dalmatians are landing "on the ocean, on land, and at ocean land". As he says the last part the scene cuts to a dalmatian landing on Sea World and switching patterns with a performing orca (presumably Shamu or one of her children).
 * Captain Ersatz: Normally used for obvious reasons, even with their own network's shows. An interesting version though, while all of the characters have different designs and/or colors, they still keep their names. This is the opposite of many of the magazine's parodies, where the characters appear the same but have their names replaced with PunnyNames.
 * One Scooby Doo segment averts this with the characters in their correct colors and outfits. This is because Warner Bros owns the rights to it. Same goes for DC Comics characters.
 * Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive: Parodied with a commercial for Villain Hand Sanitizer.
 * Clip Art Animation: Many of the sketches that parody movies and TV shows use this kind of animation.
 * Continuity Nod: One of the poster's on the werewolf's wall in the Club Moon skit is of Grey's In Anime.
 * In "Batman Family Feud," the dead guy from CSI-Carly appears as a member of the Berkel family.
 * In "Pirates of the Neverland: At Wit's End," the two aliens from the second episode sketch about one of the aliens posting an allegedly obscene message on his SpaceNook wall can be seen in the background when Captain Jack Sparrow realizes he's lost.
 * Ribbitless gives us the story behind Kermit's audition tape for American Idol from Cliffordfield. Even Fozzie didn't think the skit would head in this direction.
 * In The X-Men Games, Professor Xavier is seen watching Ay Carly before his TV loses signal.
 * Episode Potions 11; Moves Like Jabba had a skit on the Easter bunny hiding eggs, which resulted the Johnson family not being able to find them. The news intro for episode Addition Impossible; New Girl had the same family trying to find the eggs, this time gagging from the rotting smell because the bunny sill won't reveal their locations.
 * Couch Gag: The "Breaking News" segment, which actually contains not one, but TWO gags. First is the news story itself, and in season two:

"Do you ever feel like you're not really real, just a puppet doll dealt a lousy deal?"
 * Cutaway Gag: On "Two and a Half Man," with a special appearance by a parody of Peter Griffin.
 * Dead Baby Comedy: One sketch involved Alvin looking for Simon and Theodore, meanwhile a snake with two lumps in him is nearby.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Sassie, a parody of Lassie takes this trope Up to Eleven.
 * Disney Acid Sequence: "MAD Looks Inside [Celebrity]'s [Body Part]"
 * Duck: Given that the premise of "Duck" was a Chuck parody with a duck as the title character, the use of this trope was inevitable.
 * Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Parodied in a short skit where Ming-Ming, who is in a spelling bee, spells 'serious' 'S-E-W-I-O-U-S', to which Elmuh Fudd, who is the judge, tells her she's cowwect.
 * Everything's Better With Monkeys: When monkeys take over for the writers of the show, you get an entire episode dedicated to monkeys and apes.
 * Face Stealer: According to the "Fantastic Megan Fox" sketch, Megan got her looks by stealing Kristen Stewart's hair, Scarlett Johansson's eyes, and Angelina Jolie's lips. Before this, she was an actual fox.
 * Freeze Frame Bonus: The spies sometimes make cameos that are a few seconds long.
 * In the "S'up" episode, in a gag where a shoe store owner tries to convince an alligator that he's not giving her alligator shoes, a pair of pots can be briefly seen behind a sign saying "Crocks".
 * Rossi's Facebook page in "Criminal Minecraft" includes Garcia's status saying she "can't wait until 1.9".
 * Gag Series
 * Gainax Ending: Parodied in "The Buzz Identity", which quickly devolves into an Inception parody.
 * Also Not-a-Fan-a-Montana.  Yep.
 * Historical Hero Upgrade: Taken to the extreme with Ben 10 Franklin.
 * Ho Yay: Happens a lot between Edward and Jacob. For instance, one skit had them discover that they turned themselves into vampire-werewolves from biting each other. They walk off like best buds and leave Bella alone in the woods.
 * How the Character Stole Christmas: Played with in "Da Grinchy Code". It turns out that the characters investigating the crime, Tom Hanks, Indiana Jones, and Nicholas Cage, actually stole the presents.
 * Hulk Speak: "Hulked on Phonics" is a reading-improvement system based on the principles of this.
 * Idiosyncratic Wipes: Mostly involving the word Mad or Alfred E. Neuman.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: Pretty much every title of ever short. Examples include Yu-Gi-Bear, Ko-Bee Movie, and examples listed on this page. Even gets lampshaded in the title sequence for Law & Ogre, where the narrator admits they just did it for the title.
 * Kent Brockman News: The news anchor who opens every episode since the 9th one.
 * Kill All Humans: Apparently Megan Fox's goal if she malfunctions.
 * Leaning On the Fourth Wall: Take away the Stop Motion visuals of "Flammable", and it sounds like Katy Putty is just singing some low self-esteem metaphors that make as much sense as those Katy Perry used in "Firework":

"Wheezy: "No, the cake is real, and also incredibly rich!""
 * The Social Netjerk has the Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of Mordicai and Rigby telling Sean to speed up the sketch as they're on next. At the time, their show was indeed right after Mad.
 * Level Grinding: "Final Brantasy", the cereal that tastes better the more you level up by eating it. It starts off tasting like burnt rubber at level 1, then unburnt rubber at level 2, then makes its way to tasting like sand at level 45.
 * Memetic Mutation: In-universe, the dogs use internet memes to wage war on the Thundercats in 'ThunderLOLcats.'
 * Moon Logic Puzzle: An entire bit based on this and rebus equations put together.
 * My Little Panzer: All the toys in the "Toys 4 Brats" fake commercial (and you thought Irwin Mainway's toys from Saturday Night Live were dangerous).
 * /MyParentsAreDead: episode segment "Super Hero Millionaire Matchmaker"
 * Ninja: According to the fourth episode, they sometimes infest your apartment like roaches.
 * They also shoot spitwads and throwing stars at the chalkboard while the teacher's back is turned, and disappear when he turns around to get one student in trouble. Batman does this later on, and the kid just accepts that he can't get out of it.
 * Nosebleed: The bully in "Naru210" gets one from Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu.
 * Nose Nuggets: In one skit, a man tied up at a bank uses his snot to douse a stick of dynamite. This was adapted from an Al Jaffee gag that appeared in the mag.
 * One of Us: With constant references to Internet memes, Video Games, and cartoons from the 1980s and 1990s abound, it's VERY easy to assume that the writers are this.
 * Parental Bonus: If this show is even meant for kids at all, a lot of the references go over their heads (like the CSI, District 9, Two and A Half Men, or The Bourne Identity parodies).
 * Parody Assistance: The voice actors from the original would sometimes voice their parodic counterparts.
 * Pimped-Out Dress: Gaming's Next Top Princess
 * Rapid-Fire Comedy
 * Recycled in Space: It's essentially Robot Chicken for kids (or Mad TV if they didn't make the show In Name Only).
 * Running Gag: At any moment someone is going to turn into a werewolf, or already is a werewolf.
 * Sadist Show
 * Screw Yourself: In "Naruto210", Naruto gets voted to be Prom King (from his shadow clones, natch). Prom Queen? His female self.
 * Seinfeld Is Unfunny: In-universe; in the Cloverfield parody, Cliffordfield, Big Bird screams, "Don't let him get me! I'm a one-of-a-kind children's character!" When Clifford crushes him, Big Bird turns into Spongebob SquarePants and groans, "Okay, I see your point," implying that the children of today would probably look at Big Bird as a SpongeBob knock-off, when really it's the other way around.
 * Self-Deprecation: MAD Magazine regularly makes jokes about how lame, childish, moronic, and unfunny their magazine is, so the writers of the cartoon continue the apparent tradition.
 * The Wall-E-Nator considers MAD the biggest producers of garbage.
 * Occurs again in the Stinger at the end of "Da Grinchy Code" — it turns out every present but a stack of MAD magazines were taken.
 * The Watcher gives an awkward pause when Captain America asks if MAD will win an Emmy.
 * The ending of the "Cowboys & Alien Force" sketch. "It's a mash-up of two genres; they do it on MAD all the time!"
 * Hell, the news anchorman, Richard Succar, does this all the time.
 * Scuttle the seagull brings Ariel some trash when she moves into a new apartment. One of them is a fork, and the other is a copy of MAD Magazine, which he thinks might be used for cleaning the toilet.
 * Shaped Like Itself: "Sports Drink Drink". The sports drink designed to replenish worn-out sports drinks.
 * Shout Out: Someone on the staff is obviously a big Pixar fan. "Trans-Bore-Mores" contained cameos from Remy, WALL-E and Mater. "2012 Dalmatians" featured a cameo from Carl (Up) -- and Up was parodied as S'Up (in which Carl has to deal with the cast of Jersey Shore flying with him instead of an earnest yet irritating Boy Scout and his dog), and "Wall-E-Nator" (obviously) turns WALL-E into a feelingless robot on the hunt for trash. There was also a skit on rejected Toy Story toys.
 * And it's not just Pixar, either; the main characters from Ice Age make a cameo in "Star Blecch", and Scrat shows up near the end of episode five. Also, Flint from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs has appeared three times. "Trans-Bore-Mores" also had a brief mention of The Iron Giant.
 * On another occasion, Danny Phantom appeared once, albeit with green hair.
 * Finn and Jake appear in Malcolm in the Middle Earth.
 * Coraline did too, as one of the people falling out of the overturned wardrobe.
 * Haruhi Suzumiya appears in Yo Gaga Gaga, but with pink hair.
 * And seconds after that, she's stepped on by a giant Lady Gaga.
 * Astro Boy was there too!
 * Considering the creators, Jessie having blue hair and James having green hair in "Pokémon Park" may have not been coincidental.
 * In The Buzz Identity, after being told that his life is actually a lie, Buzz then asks Wheezy if the cake was a lie too.

"S-M-A / Double L-V / I-L-L spells Smallville if you add an E."
 * Mordecai and Rigby show up and beat the crap out of Sean Parker in The Social Netjerk, telling him he makes them seem funny.
 * They also show up in Rio-A, where Mordecai is among the birds that get a Green Lantern ring.
 * The Gaming's Next Top Princess segment had a brief cameo of Felicia of all people.
 * Felicia? Try a brief cameo of Amy Rose!
 * In the Cowboys and Aliens crossover sketch, the Applejack Captain Ersatz sports a faded version of her G3 incarnation's colors.
 * The ThunderLOLCats sketch is filled to the brim with references to "stupid overused memes". In addition, the cats' firewall is breached by a horde of Creepers, and one of the figures on the engraving at the start seems to bear a resemblance to one of the wizards from Magicka.
 * The maker of that is a Youtuber.
 * "Grey's In Anime" not only pokes fun at Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragonball Z (WHAT!? 9000!?), Panty Shots, and Pokemon, but also sneaks in two generic anime characters parodying the Caramelldansen dance and Pedobear.
 * In Kung Fu Blander, when trying to find something black and white that can stop Lord Shen and his Angry Birds, Po picks up Reshiram and Zekrom.
 * They even have a Shout Out to Spy vs. Spy vs Spy in Spy vs. Spy Kids, complete with Jessica Alba dressed like the Grey Spy at the end.
 * One sketch has two people dressed like two characters from El Tigre appear as bystanders.
 * To My Cage of all things: The title "My Little War Horse'' is most likely a reference to this strip.
 * ThunderLOLcats not only references the LOLcats meme, but also Minecraft ("That's a niccccccce wall you've got there..."), "I'M FIRIN' MAH LAZER!", Weebl and Bob ("I'm a Narwhal! The Jedi of the sea!"), My Little Pony, Bunchies, a spectacular replication of the Internet Trollface, Angry Birds, 'Weegee, the Not Even Doom Music cat, Nyan Cat, and numerous other internet memes with a striking degree of accuracy.
 * In The Iron Giant Lady, Jenny gets crowned "Homecoming Robot" by Sheldon.
 * Shown Their Work: Admittedly it's for pop culture, but the amount of detail they put into most of the parodies is pleasantly surprising. They do miss the mark now and then (see Shallow Parody) but the majority of the sketches show that they do look into what they're parodying.
 * Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions: There is a recurring segment named this (which is based on the actual article in MAD Magazine).
 * Spelling Song: From "Smallville: Turn off the Clark":

"Optimus Prime: Sam, the Decepticons are after something really, REALLY important this time. They want the... Uh...
 * Spiritual Successor: To Ka Blam!, Robot Chicken, and Mad TV.
 * Also, to the pilot/special, and also the FOX sketch show Mad TV, whose producer promised that the show would be revived and revamped on cable when news hit that the FOX incarnation of the show would be canceled in 2009.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad: "We now return to MAD, already in...credibly obsessed with these movies."
 * The Stinger: After the credits, they do a few more seconds of a sketch from earlier on (most of which are edited out in reruns to make room for the closing credits and to get to the next show as quickly as possible).
 * Stock Sound Effects: "ArThor" had one segment that referenced Donkey Kong. The sound effects used were, appropriately enough, the ones from the Atari2600 port of the game.
 * Surreal Theme Tune: Some random man and what sounds like a group of kids babbling "Hey yabba, boy yamma, Mad!" + a kazoo and Jew's harp = The MAD theme.
 * Take That: In "Trans-Bore-Mores":


 * Optimus sees a poster of The Rock.*

Optimus Prime: Rock of...


 * Optimus sees a poster of Kesha.*

Optimus Prime: No...Talent-tron..."

"Mordecai: You know what I like about you, Sean? You make me seem funny."
 * Another bash on Ke$ha: On "Pirates of the Neverland: At Wit's End," Captain Hook tells Captain Jack Sparrow that the crocodile who always chases him makes the most horrible noise -- "tick tock." Not the clock noise; "that annoying Ke$ha song" ("TiK ToK"), followed by the crocodile opening his mouth and a screwed-up, sound-alike version of "TiK ToK" starts playing.
 * Even shows on Cartoon Network aren't safe; case in point, Groan Wars which makes fun of Star Wars the Clone Wars.
 * Whoever wrote The Social Netjerk obviously has a bitter dislike for Regular Show:

"Fred (in place of Edward): Everyone you know will be dead in a few decades, but who cares? You'll have sparkly skin!"
 * They don't seem to care for a lot of other Cartoon Network shows, particularly noticeable in The Watcher's speech to Captain America in "Avenger Time".
 * Star Blecch had several lines about how Star Trek stole a whole bunch of ideas from Star Wars.
 * uGlee was pretty much a whole Musical Episode about how Glee's premise of teens singing in high school is no different than the premises for High School Musical, JONAS, Hannah Montana, Victorious and Fame.
 * One skit in the Wall-E-Nator episode involved a Take That to Nickelodeon awards shows; after the hostess gets Covered in Gunge, she turns into an Eldritch Abomination.
 * Hell, during Wall-E-Nator, the MAD producers poke fun at themselves.
 * The show also has a lot of potshots at the Marmaduke movie.
 * They seem to really hate Kristen Stewart (and Twilight, though that's more of an acceptable target than Kristin Stewart), as they're always showing her as a really unhappy chick.

"Sawyer: "Oh, you poor washed up thing!"
 * Also, in Pokémon Park, the following lines: "[Digimon Island] is the same, only more complicated and less fun." "Oh, like Yu-Gi-Oh Island"
 * In "Ko-Bee Movie" Kobe discovers he has a human counterpart and wants to take action. An Exbee of Jerry Seinfeld suggests taking him to court, however Kobee says it would be very boring for a movie. At the end, Jerry Seinfeld Bee comments on how Ko-Bee Movie was a much better movie than Bee Movie.
 * "Super '80s" has a scene of Seth Green trying to crash a truck into a train full of 1980s pop culture icons, exclaiming, "If I can't have the '80s, no one will!" Later, one of the children refers to Madonna as the person Lady Gaga spent her career copying (then added that Russell Brand stole his act of being a comic weirdo from Weird Al Yankovic.). Also, an interviewee who looks like Michael Ian Black on I Love The '80s sadly comments that shows like I Love The '80s count as television. Finally, when the '80s icons go back to where they belong, they fly to.
 * Kung Fu Blander is chock full of Take Thats at things like Kung Fu Panda (outright saying by its main character no less that their movies are getting worse), and Mr. Popper's Penguins (criticizes its Aesop and the alleged wrong turn in Jim Carrey's career).
 * In "Smallville: Turn Off the Clark", there's a huge amount of take that (against Smallville, Julie Taymor) and Shown Their Work (the references to the show like Dr. Fate's future seeing, Clark's dad coming back to life, Brainiac having the model of Cartoon Brainiac and the coloring of the main comic's Brainiac.
 * The internet itself, in the ThunderLOLcats skit.
 * The amnesiac protagonist of Cowboys & Alien Force says he wishes he could forget the last Indiana Jones movie.
 * Jersey Shore takes quite a few beatings itself. They all get tricked into falling to their deaths in an Up parody, but also in Jersey Thor, where Thor confuses their hairstyles with elaborately styled horned helmets that his own family often wears back in Asgard. Also, in a "Celebrities Without Their Makeup" segment, When you remove King Kong's makeup, you get Snooki.
 * "Captain American't" has Colonel Philips ask Dr. Erskine to improve the movie's CGI after completing the Super Soldier project.
 * MAD seems to have something against Cars. Every other time it's referenced, Lightning Mcqueen or Mater get killed off for no apparent reason.
 * "Destroy, Bob the Builder, Destroy" is a (well deserved) Take That at Destroy, Build, Destroy.
 * Also one of Hole in the Wall called "Hole in the Great Wall".
 * "Twilight: Staking Dawn" is a Take That against Twilight, Whitney, and Two and a Half Men.
 * DolPhineas and Ferb Tale doesn't even run for thirty seconds before it delivers a potshot at Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Cage (wet and covered in barnacles): "Hi, I'm Nicolas Cage, I'll bounce back."

Sawyer: "I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about that!""

"Its just a mash-up of two genres, MAD does it all the time!"
 * "Garfield of Dreams" has a take that against Hollywood, funny pages, funny pages-based movies, and Seth Macfarlane.
 * Taught By Television: The antagonist in Naru210 claims he beat Naruto in their (unseen) fight because he watched Kung Fu Panda 27 times.
 * Toilet Humor: Lots of it, just like the magazine.
 * Transformation Is a Free Action: in "Money Ball Z", Goku takes an exceptionally long time to power up, and the pitcher decides to wait for him to finish. When Vegeta steps up to bat and powers up next, everyone, including the team coach, manager, sporting agents, and audience all take up some other activity to help pass the time, including watching the entirety of Peter Jackson's King Kong.
 * The Un-Reveal: Done to Mind Screw levels in "Gaming's Next Top Princess".
 * X Meets Y: This show in general can be described as Ka Blam meets Robot Chicken. (The crew from both shows created the show)
 * In-show, a lot of the parody titles (read: the parody titles that don't childishly make fun of what's being parodied, like Are You Karate Kidding Me, Avaturd, uGlee, and The Social Netjerk) are combos of two or more TV shows, movies, cartoon series, etc. Some examples:
 * CSiCarly: CSI and iCarly
 * I Love You, Iron Man: I Love You Man and Iron Man
 * Ben 10 Franklin: Ben Ten and Benjamin Franklin
 * Cliffordfield: Clifford the Big Red Dog and Cloverfield
 * Pirates of the Neverland: At Wit's End: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Peter Pan (the Neverland reference).
 * WALL-E-NATOR: WALL-E and Terminator
 * 2012 Dalmatians: Two Thousand and Twelve and One Hundred and One Dalmatians
 * Naru210: Naruto and Beverly Hills 90210
 * Pooh Grit: Winnie the Pooh and True Grit
 * Soul Tron: Soul Train and Tron
 * So You Think You Can Train Your Dragon to Dance: How to Train Your Dragon and So You Think You Can Dance
 * Pokémon Park: Pokémon and Jurassic Park.
 * Hops: Hop and Cops
 * The Buzz Identity: Toy Story 3 and The Bourne Identity (with some pieces of The Wizard of Oz and Inception)
 * Arthor: Arthur and Thor, with the titular character of Rango thrown in as well (since Thor, the Russell Brand remake of Arthur, and Rango came out in theaters around the same time)
 * The Clawfice: The X Men and The Office
 * Rio-A: Rio and Green Lantern (Oa is the home planet of The Green Lantern)
 * Captain America's Got Talent: Captain America and Americas Got Talent
 * Thomas the Unstoppable Tank Engine: Thomas the Tank Engine and Unstoppable
 * The Fresh Prawn of Bel-Air: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and District 9 (the prawn aliens were from the latter movie)
 * ThunderLOLcats: ThunderCats and THE INTERNET. ALL OF IT.
 * Cowboys & Alien Force actually has a rather non-indicative title; while a crossover of Cowboys and Aliens and Ben 10 Alien Force is indeed present, it quickly falls by the wayside in favor of a bizarre mash-up of references to Finding Nemo, The Mr. Men Show, My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, Jon Favreau's career, MAD itself...by skit's end, even the characters are baffled.


 * Criminal Minecraft: Criminal Minds and Minecraft.
 * Jersey Thor: Thor and Jersey Shore.
 * S'Up: Up and Jersey Shore.

 * Dances With Wolverines (A Footloose Parody): Wolverine and Footloose.
