Line 13:
For the page on the animated spin-off see [[MAD]]. See also [[Mad TV]], the loosely-affiliated [[Sketch Comedy]] show.
----
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the movie / TV parodies, there are many jokes related to this.
Line 27:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Subverted in one early feature, in which in the "real life" version of the scene, more Indians arrive instead of the cavalry, overwhelming the settlers.
* [[Black Comedy]]: "Celebrity Cause-of-Death Betting Odds" is but one example.
** They actually got [[Dude, Not Funny|angry mail]] after running an issue in 1999 in which readers were encouraged to choose which way [[Pokémon|Pikachu]] was going to die,<ref>
* [[Bowdlerise]]: This trope gets parodied mercilessly in Harvy Kurtzman's and Jack Davis's sketch [http://www.litkicks.com/BookMovie/ Book! Movie!] about the many changes made for a book's [[Live Action Adaptation]].
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Also in the movie / TV parodies.
Line 130:
** "Truths I Have Told" by Richard Nixon
* [[Write What You Know]]: Dick DeBartolo was working for [[Mark Goodson]] Productions when he was tapped to write the ''[[Family Feud]]'' parody. Naturally, he took that opportunity to knock down ''every'' trope that show presented (and submitted the parody under a pen name).
* [[Written Sound Effect]]: Don Martin was very fond of atypical ones, such as "Dingalinga" for a bell ringing, "Ferrap" for shuffling cards, etc. Sometimes he would use [[Unsound Effect
* [[Yiddish as a Second Language]]: Most prominently "fershlugginer," but plenty of Yiddish appeared in the mag's early years.
** From the Popeye parody: "Right in the kishkas!" Also an example of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
Line 139:
