Mad/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** Gaines even launched his own rip-off, ''Panic''.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Very many freelance artists and writers have worked for the magazine, so their art is often recognizable outside it.

** Paul Coker was a Rankin-Bass animator. His loose, scratchy style is quite recognizable.

** Sergio Aragonés is also known for his ''Groo'' comic.

** Several notables have drawn at least one cover each: fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta, movie poster illustrator Drew Struzan and even ''[[The Today Show]]'' chimp mascot J. Fred Muggs.

** Not only did Wally Wood create [[Daredevil]]'s iconic costume and the infamous [[wikipedia:The Disneyland Memorial Orgy|Disneyland Memorial Orgy]] poster, he was also one of the founding artists of ''Mad''.

** Writer Dick DeBartolo is the host of the ''Daily Giz Wiz'' podcast, and was a longtime question-writer for ''[[Match Game]]''.

* [[Old Shame]]: ''Mad'' lent its name to an ''[[Animal House]]''-style comedy, ''[[Up the Academy]]''. After it did poorly at the box office, ''Mad'' was quick to disown it, and wrote a two-page satire of their own movie, which ended with the entire staff fictitiously quitting in shame. William M. Gaines also paid Warner Bros. $30,000 to remove every reference to ''Mad'' from the movie. However, following the sale of ''Mad'' to Time/Warner, the references were restored on all recent TV airings and the DVD. But it's still [[Old Shame]] to the ''Mad'' staff.

 

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Tara Strong]] shows up a few times in the third episode.

*** She even reprises her role as Bubbles in ''[[Two Broke Girls|2 Broke]]'' ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]''.

*** She even returns as [[Western Animation/My Little Pony Friendship|Twilight Sparkle]] in one episode.

*** [[Tom Kane]] reprises his role has [[Satan|Him]]. His attempt at immitating the narrator does sound more like Professor Utonium.

** [[Jason Marsden]] in various sketches from episodes 5 and later.

*** He voices the "Not Even Doom Music" Cat, just like a certain [[The Garfield Show|other gray cat]] in ''Thunder [[LOLcats]]''.

** Gary Anthony Williams ([[The Boondocks|Uncle Ruckus]], [[Stroker and Hoop|Coroner Rick]]) is also a regular voice actor.

** [[Diedrich Bader]] has appered in several episodes.

** On the art style of things, the [[Stop Motion]] sequences are animated by Screen Novelties, who did the same animation for ''[[Chowder]]'', and one of the most frequent animators is [[El Tigre the Adventures of Manny Rivera|Jorge R. Guiterrez.]]

** ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' alumni Seth Green and Breckin Meyer appear in the second season.

** [[Kath Soucie]] voiced Rainbow Dash in ''My Little War Horse''.

* In the "Parent-Training" skit (Moves Like Jabba), the girl listens to a Hip-Hop version of the Demon Sisters theme from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt before her mother interrupts. Considering what happens on that show and the rarity of the song, this is probably a deliberate reference.
