Mad/Funny

From the Magazine
"Mook: Our men are already working fourteen hours a day!
 * The parody of the 1966 Batman TV series is hilarious, featuring some of Mort Drucker's best work. One panel in particular shows the Dynamic Duo entering the commissioner's office through the window, Batman riding on the back of his sidekick, who has a perfectly deadpan expression, as if this happens all the time.
 * From its parody of Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader and an Imperial Mook:

Vader: You shall redouble your efforts!

Mook: You mean, work twenty-eight hours a day?

Vader: I'm a sadist, not a mathematician!"

"Cop: I'm positive I heard that ape speak!
 * And from one of the Planet of the Apes sequels, when Ricardo Montalban's character is confronted by a policeman:

Montalban: Impossible! Apes do not have the power of speech!

Cop: Then how come I heard sound coming out of his mouth?!?

Montalban: Because that ape is a ventriloquist!"

"(Dumbledore and Harry are surrounded by the inferi)
 * 43-Man Squamish.
 * After Superduperman reveals to Lois Pain that he is actually Clark Bent, she smacks him and walks away, admitting that she'll find Clark Bent creepy no matter what identity he assumes.
 * Right before this confession, Superduperman vanquished by.
 * The Love Story parody has several, especially when Jenny lies dying from "Old Movie Disease," which inexplicably turns her more beautiful by the second. In its final stages, it even straightens her teeth and bolsters her bust.
 * Harry Plodder is a Hot-blooded Putz has this gem:

Dumbledore: They're hiding Voldemort's horcrux! I've never seen a mindless, dead-eyed army of skeletons like this before!

Harry: I have! On Americas Next Top Model !"

"Contestant: This is Final Je'par-dy,
 * Book! Movie! is a parody of the tendency movies have to sanitize the content of whatever books they happen to be adapting. The link doesn't show it, but the ending of this story has the main character of the Book! version getting hauled off to jail for murder in as much seriousness a MAD article can muster, while the Movie! version still has the main character go to jail for murder, but does so complete with a 50's style overly saccharine song and dance number. Not to mention that the Book! version of the characters are mostly ugly(with one of them being naked) while the film versions of course all look ridiculously attractive.
 * 11 Ways Jeopardy! Contestants Can Really Piss Off Alex Trebek has the contestants plugging Lenscrafters during their interview time, giving episode titles from The Jerry Springer Show as questions, and bringing in a sock puppet to answer questions for them. #11 on the list? Singing along to the Final Jeopardy theme music.

Having trouble WITH this cat-e-gory!

To-day's champ--it won't be me!

Don't know Greek myth-o-lo-gy!

Hope my friends don't watch the show,

Or they'll see there's NUH-thing that I know and

I'll look like a total heel.

Wish instead I'd gone...on...Wheel! DUM DUM!"

Captain America: That's where we are? Hmm, what else do you see?

The Watcher: I see the crews of other cartoons sitting in a deli, complaining about MAD like a bunch of sissies!
