WarioWare music fits this kind of show.
Some credit I can give to this series is that it relied less on gross-out as it went on. Tween me thought this show was the funniest thing ever and would almost suffocate from laughing too hard. It’s honestly a guilty pleasure for me and I enjoy it like the first 4 Raving Rabbids games, Nudist Colony of the Dead and Scary Movie 1 & 3, something stupid to turn my brain off and laugh at it unironically.
Ngl this show was kinda the peak of comedy for little me, it was just wacky mindless fun
Was about to comment about the great choice of music lol, especially love all the DIY tunes, this game is awesome!
Thank you
MAD is basically Robot Chicken for kids.
was more than that, because both are pretty morbid and dark
*was
No, Robot Chicken is funny.
Xeno Best X ONG I SAID THE SAME FUCKING THING
Diet Robot Chicken for kids
This show was actually hilarious when the references were relevant.
I think it’s almost funnier when they aren’t relevant
This show was some of the funniest shit I saw as a tween
Fuckin rage meme references in that shit
When it first started out it was funny but as the show progressed it lost its edge save for the Spy vs Spy shorts. Those were always fun to watch.
Facts
I kid you not, this show was how I discovered Minecraft.
Me too, bro. I think the segment was a Thundercats parody or some shit.
@@bradleypearl2986 The episode that got my attention was the one that parodied either Criminal Minds or NCIS into a Minecraft setting.
Also, I'm pretty sure that that episode was the first thing I ever watched the moment I migrated to the U.S., which in all honesty is a bit weird.
SAME
This show showed me a lot of movies and episodes of TV shows.
I learned more about it from CZcams eventually, but I distinctly remember watching that skit and not being familiar with any of the stuff in it. Its actually very useful for trying to retrospectively trace back my history with the game.
this show felt like a fever dream
@@phantomgrape my theory is that MAD fucked up gen z's sense of humor so badly we no longer laugh at anything that's considered inherently funny
@@mtj8870 yes you are correct.
I myself am a Gen Z and this is true
honestly
I was literally lying in bed with a fever watching this show, because I'd otherwise be in school and not have enough time in the day.
true
This was a nightmare to edit. Not because it was difficult or anything, just because of that pimple scene
traumatizing scene, only scene in the show that made me wince
@@leonardosantana5636 and that only scene to make me gag and almost vomit
It's pretty toned down compared to the magazine version
@@paulleow8017 dude you're making it worse!
You could say that again
i actually liked this show as a kid. i hated some of the shorts, but the edgy cartoon humor was perfect for a middle schooler like i was
Haha yup. Same
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt this way
Annie Kaysa sameeee
One of my favorite scenes was when they made fun of avatar the movie. This girl in an M&m’s costume farts and then she says “aw I think I just crapped in my shell”
This show was with me in elementary and middle school.
This show was basically a time capsule containing what Pop Culture was like in the early to mid 2010's
200th like
And I am so grateful it exists for it
What's scary is that earlier today I just had the most random thought "wasnt there a show called mad?" Then i see this video at 12 at night. Thanks for the creepy nostalgia
Same, I just now remembered this show and now I'm terrified again
@@snail2245 I use to have mightmares of this and i use to watch an episode about scarey dora about she wants boats eyes when i was lilltle i was so scare that i couldnt even sleep and now im still terrified and affraid of dora
The whole point of MAD skits even in the magazines was to satirize current pop culture, of course it’s gonna date itself
Gingy I don’t think he really gives a crap.
@Liam Gosh dang lewis Seems like it, because this whole video is “muh irrelevant” as nauseum.
Gingy just like south park
*@Katz Meowski* No. It doesn’t work like that. Satire is satire and comes in different forms, animation or no animation. It doesn’t matter.
@Katz Meowski you're a clown rn my guy
We can all agree on one thing about this show...
Spy vs spy was sick
modernwarrior24 faaaaaxxxxx
Yep
YES
Yoo, that was like the one thing I liked about the whole show lol
You're damn right
My great grandpa is Antonio Prohias aka the guy who wrote Spy vs Spy. My family is from Cuba and I knew Spy vs Spy was popular there and I knew it was a part of Mad comics but had no idea American kids loved Spy vs Spy too! Honestly really awesome. I’m gonna show some of these comments about Spy vs Spy to my dad, i’m sure it’ll make him really happy
That’s crazy! Not only is your grandpa an absolute legend for creating such a nostalgic show for 2010’s kids, but also you have good music taste with the profile picture 👍.
@@brayden.the.canadian6253 his great grandfather had nothing to do with the show, he died 10 years before it came to be lol
Proof?
@@Blue-jn1ph how could i prove this without giving away private information? Lol, this would be a pretty strange thing to lie about.
@@dylansantana651 Exactly! On CZcams you can say “I ate a pie like the one in the video” and some goofball will question your authenticity! But hey, you should try drawing some cartoons if you haven’t already - you’ve got the genius in your blood…
I wonder how people in 50 years will look back at this show.
A early 2010s time capsule
>So let me get this straight, you think the 2010s MAD cartoon was funny?
>I do. And I'm tired of pretending it's not.
I feel the same
Same
Yea that shit was hilarious growing up
The writers couldnt carry a tune to save their show
Same.
Some of those mad skits were pretty funny as shit.
TheQuarkscrew They really were. I remember I watched every episode.
"The Kitchen Nightmare Before Christmas" is a classic.
Spongewow
TheQuarkscrew exactly 😂
Facts
The best MAD skits:
Criminal Minecraft
My Little War Horse
Addition Impossible
Grey’s in Anime
Snott Pilgrim VS The Wonderful World of Disney
Men in Black to the Future
Pokémonsters, Inc.
Demise of the Planet of the Apes
Moneyball Z
The Amazing Spider-Minaj
Mad of Steel
You forgot CSIcarly but good choices
Don’t forget once upon a cartoon
Pokemon park ? I liked that one
How about destroy bob the builder destroy? I just loved how Andrew w.k. Was hamming it up in that parody
Celebrity Ape-rentice, Reply All, A Series of Unfortunate Video Game Deaths, and George Washington: Cherry Tree Chopper were favorites of mine, but nothing beats Taking Nemo. It's not every day you see Liam Neeson beating up Spongebob Squarepants. My favorite fake advertisements were Gollum's Go Thin Diet and Green Goblin Green Beans.
Am I really gonna be surprised that he said this about MAD and he called Fanboy and Chum Chum an hidden gem? What kinda drugs were you on?
Neal McBeal The Navy Seal #ICalledDibs fanboy and chumchum fucking slapped but mad did too
@@killrkorpse5992 I felt like I was being interrogated by ISIS when I watched Fanboy and Chum Chum. MAD was just more like a sketch show and aimed at stuff kids would be into along with the occasional grown up content that was implemented at times. So I found thay more entertaining and with more variety.
@Tyrone Verser fanboy and chumchum is ahead of ALL time
Don't trust anyone who likes Fanboy and Chum Chum. You have to either be braindead or deranged to enjoy it.
bruh, you're acting like mad was this television masterpiece that he should never dare to insult when in reality it was just a shitty sketch show everyone forgot about
It’s literally just a child friendly version of robot chicken
I don't get all the references in Robot Chicken either.
What, exactly, about that pimple scene is child friendly?
Pelcogo it’s like Robot Chicken, but more childish. Both shows have lots of pop cultural references and some of the skits are parodies of popular tv shows, Video Games, movies and many more. But Robot Chicken was more successful, Darker, Funnier and messed up, with MAD it’s the exact opposite, it wasn’t successful, it’s childish, gross, cringe worthy and is like food fight, the animation can be ugly and sometimes good (mostly bad), funny and mostly bad jokes, pop cultural references (Ex: Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Smash Bros, Disney, Looney Tunes, Etc.) MAD could come on the air again, but sounds like a mostly unlikely.
Alexander Namasuke child-ish, it’s just a gross out kinda thing. Nothing kids haven’t seen before. Though it makes me gag a little. 🤢
Connor Fears I felt the same way especially...
I can't bring myself to hate this show. I loved it so much as a kid.
Melatonin Me too
Melatonin me too
I remember tuning in weekly to see this show. I loved this show lol
Same
I watched all the time as a kid. Besides, my parents never had a problem with it. In fact, they grew up with the MAD magazines, so they were used to this sort of humour and thought it was an enjoyable show.
I was going to defend this in the comments but it appears everyone else has beaten me to the punch!! I'm glad that there are a lot of us who enjoyed this
I like to think that “Mad” was of Cartoon Network version of Adult Swims “Robot Chicken”
I remember this show because every character was voiced by the same three voice actors they had working on the show. It got really annoying after awhile
It got *really* annoying, but the show's kind of dull now.
let me guess, Steve Blum, Nolan North & Monica Rial? lol.
they are in everything.
At least the dubs would have more voice actor variety.
@@felipe_drawmania1604 Nope, the latin spanish dub used the same 4 actors for almost all characters.
@@FanNumero1DeLaGranja The Brazilian dub had a bunch of them,pratically all the Cartoon Network characters were voiced by their original dub actors.There were also many movie and TV Show characters that had their respective dub actors(Marvel characters,Nickelodeon characters,Disney,etc).
My mom always asked me: "Is this show really for kids?"
I couldn’t even watch the show as a kid; as soon as the first episode aired, mom told me to shut it off.
And the answer, as we know now, is NO.
@@brooksgunn5235 Yup, I just found out
John Baxter same
That happen to me.
This show is like a paradox for me as a kid i barely knew all the references and pop culture mentioned in the show but as i got older this show becomes great
"I'm not tuning in to see the winner of spy vs. spy"
*Loads comically large shotgun with malicious intent*
*Shotgun barrel inexplicably bends over backwards to face you instead*
This was the Disaster / Epic movie of animation. I'll never forget when the small cartoon community at the time flipped when PedoBear appeared in the Greys In Anime skit.
Ayyyyy Love your videos bro. Been watching you since 2014. My favorite part is you play the cn city commercials thoooose where the days.
Huh, didn’t expect to see you here
@RebelTaxi Are you still doing your video on it?
Someone remembers those movies *GET TERRIBLE/SCARY FLASHBACKS*
wow, i remember pedobear in the show but it never once crossed my mind is a offensive reference.
People hate this show? God damn, this was one of the best things on Cartoon Network ever. I was so disappointed when it got cancelled.
Right smh people like that are the same ones who watch uncle grandpa
I agree, wasn't expecting people to hate it, though I did like regular show more tbh at the time
Big facts
Like the green lantern one was hilarious
wales2k I did. 😔
I remember when this came out, I was a kid and I lived upstairs in my house. I recorded this on the DVR to watch it. I was so excited to watch it before school, and was running down stairs. I tripped, fell, and broke my arm. Because of that, I will forever remember this show.
This show scared me as a 4 year old I had to witness mcqueens death
Same but wuth dora wants boats eyeballs
Sure it was mindless and just pure insanity but who doesn’t love that kind of shit as a kid, we were to young to understand any of the complicated stuff
Still bad

@Jackson Rendleman Because a youtuber is telling them to. And people are easily persuaded.
@h-hey, baka!!! no
So Cartoon Network's _MAD_ is basically Robot Chicken for kids. Man! I wish _Spy vs. Spy_ should deserve to have their own TV series.
I agree. The two spies fighting each other using unexpected traps is genius.
Tbh the spies were the only reason why I watched the CN MAD
Mr. Friendship it definitely deserves its own show but the magizine is dead now
We almost got that again with Star Wars: Detours. Thankfully the Disney buyout prevented that
Spy vs. Spy really does need it's own show
Growing up in a no SpongeBob or Cartoon Network house, Mad felt like a holy grail of a forbidden fruit. If my parents walked in, I could just tell them I was watching whatever, usually safe, cartoon they were parodying (often to no avail, my parents weren’t that dumb.) It holds a very special place in my memory.
I LOVED this as an 11 year old, even if I didn't catch a lot of references and stuff, it was still so good. Ugh your channel is quality.
Spy vs spy was the most heated rivalry back then
Until that one Family Guy episode, when they decided to resolve their differences.
i remember me and my brother always trying and guessing who would win
Nice name
That was the only reason why i watched the show
i personally think the “bad” animation makes it really charming, and it really has that early 2010 feel. im an 06 kid, and it really gives me childhood nostalgia. Maybe that’s just me though.
that’s good, we all have our own type of nostalgiac experiences at younger ages. i remember this back in 6th grade though.
Same here bruthuh.
Murmir_ youre still a child bruh lmao
Murmir_ your still a kid
@@thexcvclan447 he didn't state he was born in 06'. let's assume he was born in the early 2000's (like 01 or 02). by legal definition, he would be 18-20, y'now not a child. in other words, okay boomer.
This show is something that my kids History teacher will share to teach about 2000s-2010s pop culture.
This was in my top 3 as a kid
-Adventure time
-Regular show
-Mad
We can’t forget the often-forgotten spinoff, SAD. It was a six-episode series that only featured one person sitting in a room alone for eleven minutes straight looking out a window every episode.
SIX EPISODES?!! What is it, a British comedy show?!
*cue laugh track*
What was it called?
That kid Outside SAD.
I literally can’t find this show anywhere. It’s imposible to even find an IMDb page. Are there any key words to google?
That kid Outside try “Great Britain”, “depression”, and “Adam Sandler”
"I'm not tuning in to see the winner if spy versus spy"- I did lol, and I liked MAD me and my older both would watch it.. It wasn't the best but we laughed at some of the stuff.
Wow thanks Ninktendo!
Okay I know Ninktendo was a typo but that was brilliant
It was never about who won
It was about how the initial plan of one Spy would be turned on its head by the other Spy
Me too
Honestly, the Spy vs. Spy skits on MAD was one of the earliest instances of nostalgia for me, I used to love the commercials and I didn't understand why the spies were back in MAD, but I was glad they were.
When I was a kid, I loved MAD when it was airing. I did watch a lot of CartoonNetwork shows as well, but my dad hated that I did.
The only exception I found was with MAD, since he and my mom grew up with the magazines.
So MAD holds a place in my heart, but I doubt I could watch it again (and man there are really dark scenes that I forgot of).
[Edit]
Grey's in Anime I completely forgot about holy shit, and I love Grey's Anatomy now too.
Thanks for discussing this show! As a pop culture obsessed kid who grew up on CZcams parodies, I loved this show and never felt like it got the recognition it deserved
MAD was a guilty pleasure of mine when I was younger. Some of the jokes were spot-on and the writing was low-key clever. My favorite short was Mouse MD, a parody of House MD but with Mickey Mouse. Seeing that clip of Bob the Builder getting his hand amputated still made me laugh to this day. The art itself was a hit-or-miss but overall, I liked that show
I'm still remembering that skit with Life of Pi and Cat in The Hat
You named a clip from the video thanks
Yeah, that one was one of my favorite skits, honestly.
My favorite skit was the SpongeBob ad
Most of the skits that were funny were for Generation Z, though, as their childhoods were influenced by cartoons by Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Disney, as well as viral videos on CZcams and strange global events. They all had an impact on probably all of these youths at the time. A lot of the content they watch or read, however, was based on humor. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series has no moral lesson, situations get worse and worse because of Greg Heffley's bad behavior. That's an example of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" style humor at it's best in a book made for kids (simply because they are assholes, like Greg, which is why the series is so successful). MAD is one of the examples of weird humor in entertainment, alongside iCarly on Nickelodeon, and asdfmovie. by tomska on CZcams. They all had a benefit on modern meme culture today. We have gotten to the point of making all the jokes laughable because of logical deviation, similar to Monty Python-style humor, satirizing the bass-boosted mics on videos, overreactions by streamers and CZcamsrs to make the content as entertaining as possible, penis music (or in other words, bad music), Meme Man and stonks, spinning office chairs, the new rickroll (Mundial Ronaldinho Soccer 64), the Sailor Moon redraw and 3 AM challenges, Xue Hua Piao Piao (the snow falls), and the letter E. So, it's no wonder. Older generations never grew with this weirdness made by Generation Z. That is why they are confused.
The show was definitely hit and miss, especially in the last season, but the show as a whole still holds a special place in my heart.
Man I remember when this aired after regular show and adventure time I didn’t hate it and found it funny on occasions. Spy vs spy was dope AF
Fun fact, the first clip traumatized me when I was 6, I always remembered it growing up but would never remember what it was or where it came from, until just about a year ago where my friends were talking about this show and after a while I managed to find the clip and with that finally go to peace once again.
The one that got to me was Katy Putty Flammable, just the way the characters melt and burn gives me flashbacks to the infamous Welcome song scene from the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie
The only skit I remember was the one where bambi's mom comes back as a zombie. My cousin thought it was so scary she started crying and because of that I couldn't watch this show anymore.
And here I thought I was the only one traumatized by that skit
I remember that skit! It was late into the night and I was watching Ponyo on demand once the movie ended that was exactly what I saw didn’t help that I had to go to sleep right after 😬 I didn’t watch MAD for like two years after that and when I did it was only for Spy vs Spy
Bruh i saw that episode with cousin a long time ago and i got scared😂
that's why the show got a TV-PG
Bro same but I was reason why cuase I loved Bob the builder and it was the episode he got his finger sawed off by Micky mouse in a parody of HOUSE
Honest opinion: Mad wasn't perfect; it was always hit or miss. It's definitely a better post-All That kids sketch comedy than So Random or AwesomenessTv or Incredible Crew
I feel like So Random was a parody of a sketch show, since it was a spin off of The show featured in Sonny with a Chance. Was it a good parody? No.
I felt that Incredible Crew was fun for what it was worth
That isn't saying much.
@@_V.Va_ Robot Chicken sucked.
A J So Random wasn’t bad. Just not original.
i’ve been looking for this show for so long i remember watching this and loving it and one day it just stopped airing
You just brought back my early childhood I use to watch this all the time with the incredible crew
I honestly liked the spy vs spy shorts. Everything else can go away and just have those shorts be it's own thing lol
Same My brother and I were always rooting for who to win
Spy vs spy was awesome. It wasn’t a parody of anything, which the show often fell flat on doing so thank god. I always enjoyed the clever gag humor and I honestly had a hard time guessing which one was gonna end up winning in each bit unless it was plainly obvious.
Heck yeah, Spy vs Spy was the best >:)
Only ogs remember this from MAD.
*Sonic running over a pit of spikes then falling.*
Yeah, wasn't that the part were all the videogame bad guys were trying to build impossible to complete level's.
Xeno Best X i wish I forgot it
I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at that one.
I feel like a boomer
I remember that
That zit popping skit has stuck with me for nearly 10 years
It haunted me for months
I've had a lot of the Ben 10 ones haunt me..
I liked the show when I was a kid because I thought the crazy art, references, and animation was entertaining, but now I don’t even find it remotely entertaining. I think this was a good assessment and your comment about those clinging to nostalgia hits the nail on the head.
The only thing I remember about this show is that it was EXTREMELY hit or miss, with more misses, but some surprisingly good hits, usually at least a couple an episode. I also liked some of the animators they showed off even if I didn't care for the content of the animation itself.
Also, wow, I was 12-15 when this show was airing. Time really flies.
I was the same age at the time jesus
"I'm not tuning in to see who won Spy vs Spy.."
Huh. Maybe I was just the only one to did. I've always loved SvS.
Fr spy vs spy used to be the highlight of my day
This section of the show was the literal only thing I ever tuned into. I think on more than one occasion after the Spy vs Spy finished, I would just turn the channel. Something about the cheeky yet simple bass line of the sketch with the artistic drawing of two characters who only speak through action and *interaction* was fascinating to me.
My dad and I would always tune in for that, he was a fan of the black spy and I was a fan of the white spy and we’d have loads of fun watching MAD together
@@ghlegend195 Spy vs Spy had debatably good animation, no references (other than being similar to Tom and Jerry) and the plot was told through the action. It was just some good old slapstick with a touch of mistery; unlike Tom and Jerry, you could never be sure who would outsmart who and how.
i did that too...
I remembered the Bob the builder and zit one he showed. I also remember one where a guy turns on the light in his house and a bunch on ninjas hide. And the guy stayed " yep you got ninjas.
Destroy Bob the Builder Destroy was awesome.
The MAD versions of characters look like Chinese bootlegs.

It’s a kids show, I don’t think you need to dig this deep. I thought it was still funny back then
bro literally loved this show so much
i looked forward to a new episode of MAD every week more than regular show or scooby-doo
i even owned a handful of magazine issues BECAUSE i loved the show so much 😭
for what the world looked like in that era, i genuinely don't think they should've done anything differently, its a perfect representation of what once was and how the world has taken such a medium and innovated on it within the last decade.
awesome video btw, i love reminiscing :)
I remember liking this show as a kid.
Yeah nigga I loved this show when I was 12
we all do
bruh i literally remembered some of these clips
You were wrong
@@polkarfield ?
Man, I got some serious early 2010's nostalgia from this one. This show was hit or miss but I have a soft spot for it. I predict this show hitting it big online once 2010's nostalgia becomes the hot thing.
The funny thing about the credit crunch is that they made it fun one of it, someone says something to the affect of "Nothing sad happens in the credits, except for their crunched which is sad for the creators but fine for everyone else". On a random side note, the show was pushed from it's Monday slot to another day, which they made fun...in the first episode after it got the Monday slot back. Whoops, lol.
Bruh, 2010s nostalgia won’t hit its stride for about 20 years.
@@Odinsday
Yeah, 2000s nostalgia is just barely in yet. We have to wait for the 90s kids to hit 50 first.
true, true, some 2010 and 2011 memories
Yes I remember all the gen z references
Same
This awakened so many buried memories, i don't even really remember watching this show but i remember a few small bits really strongly. I'm not sure i wanted to remmeber all that
Never thought I'd see a video on this show! Man, it was something else. Only show I ever got up early to watch. Thought it was completely forgotten or at least that I was the only one who remembered it. Thank god I was wrong.
I thought this show was just a fever dream I had as a kid.
Same, I thought I dreamed this or something wtf
I feel like this youtube video is giving me flashbacks that I probably repressed.
superdragfobfan It was a joke
You were a kid? God I feel old...
As an 11-year-old weeb obsessed with memes and internet culture, I practically lost my marbles over this show as it used to be one of my favorites. Although most of my memories from the show are akin to a fever dream.
Edit: I realize the way I worded this could be perceived as me currently being 11. To clarify, I'm 20 and watched this from ages 11-13 when it was on. I'm a big kid. 😎
Kaye I liked the DBZ episode
Same here. I watched it when I was 4-6
You were and probably still are a waste of breath. (Not serious) Thanks for helping popularize meme culture. My sister can't tell a joke to save her life but she can show me some retarded memes...🙄 11 years old and I already dabbling in technology and internet culture. Wow.....way to waste your childhood.
@Black Man I spend most of my time having a laugh craking REAL jokes to my sister and she spends most of her tine on her phone looking at memes....... showing or reading me those fucking memes almost every day. Eventually it gets repetitive and ridiculous. I start bothering her by tearing dow. The logic of the joke.....yet she still continues on with thise fucking memes......all because some dipshit kids never dropped got over the idea of memes. It's a joke (a bad one) but seriously....FUCK MEMES 🤬
@@bigchiefjr1854 You're complaining over memes, which are in themselves picturized jokes. And then you move on trying to ruin the joke for your sister by "tearing down the logic" like an idiot. Stop complaining abt what ppl find funny and get a life. Your jokes are probably shit anyway lmao.
4:06 I remember that lucky charms skit quite fondly. Sometimes I hear it "Lucky's not his real name, y'know!...It's Arnold!"
So much nostalgia in this video. I used to religiously watch this as a kid. Loved it.
While many jokes in the show didn’t always stick with me, I will have to say that the Spy Vs. Spy section was always a something to look forwards to. Seeing how they would implement some twist to one of the Spy’s shenanigans was always very creative.
Hell I even have a book filled with Spy Vs. Spy comic strips

I loved Spy vs Spy... and yet I still love it

I may be the only person here who loves this show, but like, or reply to, this comment if I'm wrong.
It may not have had the substance or structure that Cartoon Network's other shows from around the time it was on the air had, but it was still a very funny cartoon, and it got me introduced to the magazine, which I got a subscription to the year after I started watching the show. My parents ended up throwing away most of them while I was in school during the first few years of my subscription, though, because they didn't want my brain to be warped by its most vulgar moments.
In my opinion, MAD along with Sym-Bionic Titan and The Looney Tunes Show from 2011 are the most underrated Cartoon Network shows of the 2010's. Most of my friends told me that the reason why the show was cancelled was because the network aired it too much, causing viewers to loose interest in it.
Jason, the Cartoon Fan oh yeah this and regular show were my favorite cartoons from back in the day. but now it seems a little hit or miss
I love it too.
Jason, the Cartoon Fan I enjoyed it too sucks that it got cancelled because it was really funny
What did you expect, it's made by the same people behind Robot Chicken, which kinda explains it's more vulgar and somewhat adult moments.
I loved this show too; in my eyes, it did parodies the RIGHT way.
Unlike Titans Go, Thundercats ROAR and Modern Family Guy
Mouse MD and Sponge Wow were my favorite skits in this series and I’m so glad they were brought up in this video!
Back then I really liked MAD, that explains my sence of humor.

I am the complete opposite. I never understood the references MAD made, and instead watched for their silly, cartoony recurring skits. Spy vs Spy was my favorite because of gratuitous cartoon violence. Same reason I liked Tom and Jerry. I'd always be looking for that one episode I didn't watch when it premiered just so I could see the new editions of the same bits. It only made me more excited when the animation and humor began to improve as the seasons went on.
Rememebr the episode with Criminal Minds and Minecraft
@A.S lol
Exactly, my brother and I dressed as the spies for Halloween without ever understanding the references or knowing that mad had a magazine
The pimple gross-out skit has been etched into my mind for all of time, although I remember it being in black and white and more simple in terms of the art style
Spy v spy alone is a good reason to have watched mad
Mad was the kid version of robot chicken that I still wasn’t allowed to watch
Unknown Gamer MAD magazine came out before Robot Chicken and robot chicken drew inspiration from the MAD Magazine
“This show did what it was supposed to do but I didn’t think it was funny.” This video basically.
“This allusion is no longer as relevant as it was when it aired, therefore it is bad.” Also this video basically.
Sam Shackleford Frep I personally didn’t know what he and the next generation were even talking about 😒 The show was never meant to be focused on. The show was just a series of ads for the magazine’s and comics. They would’ve know that if they actually considered reading the damned books but no they’re so basic. Then wanted to complain and get MAD shut down even though they were and are always the problem. Leave it to the degenerates of our millennial generation and the basic ass kids of the recent generation to not know what tf they want out of entertainment ever.

This show brings back memories I used to watch Mad when I was a kid and I've had good memories watching that show.
I distinctly remember “2 Broke Powerpuff Girls”, “Mouse M.D.”, and that one sketch with Cookie Monster as a cop on blue blood
My friends dad got crushed by a car, and to calm my friend down he came to my house, I was watching MAD and then the scene where lightning mcqueen was getting crushed, he just started crying to a level nobody should see
Holy shit
HOLY HELL
Sweet Jesus what happend afterwards
Well that sounds depressing 😓....
Tommy Criton his dad survived and made a recovery, though his mind hasn’t been the same, this happened years ago of course, Nathan(the kid) got calmed down later that night, though it was hard to. I think they are fine, his dad isn’t the same though, his brain was like crushed so of course he wouldn’t be the same
I haven’t watched the video yet, but mad was what got me through middle school. I constantly watched the show all the time back then. And while the show hasn’t aged, there are some moments that make me laugh.
You mean the show has aged.
I agree man. I used to love this in middle school too. While it definitely has aged poorly, I still think it is funny. Sure it's not as good as regular show or adventure time, but it makes me laugh just as much now as it did a decade ago. Plus, it introduced me to the magazine, which is even better.
I guess you found it as..
*PK Fire.*
I loved this show when I was younger. Don’t know about now, haven’t seen it since, but it will certainly forever be in the back of my head.
Honestly, I think one of the best skits was the Snot Pilgrim one. They stuck pretty faithfully to the original comic art style, and probably had Bryan Lee O’Malley working on it as well
"Random, short skits"
"Warioware Music"
Not bad, Nick, you have done me proud.
Excellentl music choices
Honestly I'm just glad I didn't hallucinate MAD and that it was an actual show.
Everybody is forgetting the "super friend" song, and the Green Care Bear skit, I always come back to those skits. Anybody remember when cartoon network was hosted by the C and the N of Cartoon Network?
Ohhhh yeah, the C and the N had their own personalities! I wonder if any of those skits were preserved. I remember one where they were playing golf for some reason.
MAD to me shows the goodness that was early 2010’s Cartoon Network.
I like to label this as an early 2010s time capsule
It's was a product of it's time. No matter how dated it seems to us in retrospect, I can respect it for what it was.
Say what ya want, I absolutely miss this show. I remember absolutely anticipating who was gonna win in Spy Vs. Spy in every new episode.
Nowadays, I do appreciate how shitty a lot of the show was but still manage to enjoy it both ironically and unironically.
ME TOO 🥺🥺
I only watched it for spy vs spy, when it stopped, I stopped watching cuz the rest scared me
Hey, Just like the Magazine!
I remember watching this show when I was around 8 or 9- and I thought it was the funniest thing. Our parents would leave for work during the summer and we would turn this on and watch it. Despite all the references I didn’t get, I still loved the show! It felt like more of a ‘teenage show’, and I did feel like it wasn’t supposed to be watched.
Now I think part of the appeal for the older references is when parents sit and watch tv with their kids- It’s supposed to be at least a little enjoyable for everyone and I love that.
I never tuned in for the last episode of spy vs spy because they took it off netflix 😔
this was my favorite show on cartoon network at the time. My dad read the magazines growing up and gave me a whole bunch of his old ones which made me love MAD even more. Sure some of its dated but it was some of the funniest stuff on tv at the time.
6:09 "Lacking any joke specific to the characters"
He says as Rayman makes a joke about how Rabbids stole his franchise, which isn't exactly common knowledge as Rayman isn't exactly mainstream.
@Shaq oh okay you got a point
@Shaq Chill out.
@Shaq Don't care.
this guy grew up on rayman lmao
@@dewmirage And Raymond isn't very well know compared to Pikachu,Mario,Link and ect. They make more money compared to Rayman.
When I was a kid I really liked this. My friend and I came up with our own “sketch” idea and sent it in. Later they actually used it uncredited lmao. I don’t remember the skit name or episode but our idea was “Pikachews” and it was a pikachu him.. we described the flavor and amazingly shocking. Does anyone know the episode that is?
wow that’s crazy and i’m sorry they didn’t credit you that was rude of them 🥺
The episode was "Pooh Grit/Not-A-Fan-A Montana", and the sketch in it was "Big League Pika-Chew", (a parody of baseball gum "Big League Chew") made with shredded Pikachu. How do I remember this? It was the first MAD episode I ever watched. I believe the sketch can still be found on CZcams.
I was a diehard fan of this show as a kid, and I still look back at it fondly. And I used to create my own MAD sketches too! I might still even have some of the ideas written down somewhere!
THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
L W i don’t wanna sound rude but I don’t believe you... if you could upload a video to youtube proving what your’re saying, that would be neat
@@Da5ADN he has no reason to lie. Plus why would he need to prove this he'd just be wasting his time he already got his answer
MAD drips 2010s in the best possible way.
This show was absolutely hilarious back in the day, it even sold me on a subscription to Mad Magazine as a kid.
Dude, same! MAD was also part of the reason I had a Spy Vs. Spy magazine as a Christmas gift. I ended up having to get rid of it years later, though; the pages were falling apart & ripping, and not to mention, I was growing up & needed to try maturing.
I remember being scared because I thought it wasn’t a show for kids so every time it came on I would change it😭😭
African Tingz facts
watching mad tv in elementary school is the reason why i spent so much of my life being terribly unfunny and annoying. that being said, great nostalgia!
Isabella P. same!
I like how Nick calls MAD memorable but then says that as time has gone on he remembered less of the episodes
I remember looking up clips of this in CZcams as a kid and loving it
