I think mad having to be “kid friendly” ended up making the writers be a lot more creative with their jokes compared to robot chicken that has more sort of “shock” humor a lot of the time.
I feel this way about a lot of cartoon shows (for kids) vs animated adult shows, i feel like a lot of animated shows for adults just feel like dark shocking humour it's enough and it's good (sometimes) but you can find some smarter and funnier jokes in kid's shows a lot of the time
Dexters laboratory had an episode where dexter and deedee separated the nice and naughty halves out of themselves and like a good majority of the episode was censoring 😂
*laughs in regular show* CN used to be the GOAT and had no fear toeing the line. They were also the kings of family friendly animated comedy. I hate how nowadays TV shows are either hard for kids or hard for adults and they really suffer for it. I miss when they made shows the entire family could sit down and enjoy.
@@lorrainehatton1235 it’s making fun of Seth McFarlane (the guy in this skit) because of his shows like “American Dad” and “Family Guy” being similar and calling them unoriginal
I love how they didn't act ignorant, they fucking KNEW kids were watching and playing a lotta shit they shouldn't have been at their age, and I appreciate them for being candid about it and not being afraid to run with it.
My mom watched this WITH me and she was often cracking up. There was one time with the Avatar parody where she lost it and started howling. MAD was for the kids and the cool parents.
That lightning Mcqueen skit where he gets flattend like a normal car thats irreparable sent me back into a vivid flash back where i, as a kid, was freashly exposed to the idea of a sentient life being thrown away cause it lost its use. The moral implications alone deeply affected my psyche and i stared traumatized at the screen replacing him with a human and essentially was so hard for my like 10-12 year old mind to even process. I blocked it away untill i saw it again. Gawd damn man i wasent ready to feel that again.
@djmutt2000 childhood favorite. Saw it secondary to the mad skit. Still just as traumatizing. Only with the added layer of how one of the cars in the junkyard scene actively drove into the compacter of his own Accord. Accepting his fate. My childhood media preferences were incredibly dark now that I think about it.
@@alonelyboynamedjames4835boo hoo nigga, I watched run the gauntlet and then mad back to back, not that it's a good thing but I'm a perfectly normal and happy person now that I am older.
Now that I know much more about pop culture, I think I could rewatch this show and appreciate MUCH much more of it than I did back when I was like 10 or so.
This show would do so well today. I think turner broadcasting just thought with how "childish" the show was, it needed to be on the cartoon network, but they should have just put it on the earliest point of adult swim instead. (ironically with adult swim coming on at 6pm est now that was the time MAD actually came on.)
Holy crap I was _not_ ready as a kid for how genius it is to set up a Family Guy-style cutaway gag in a non-Family Guy-related sketch and then just cut to Peter Griffin watching the contents of the gag on his own TV without the viewers seeing it
I didn't understand that at first but now I get it. Mad was making fun of Family Guy's cutaway gags, and when Peter said, "So that's what it looks like." he was talking about another show using a cutaway.
Actually they had Seth Green voice act for them who also voice acts in robot chicken (there might be other voice actors that I haven’t researched but I recognized Seth’s voice the most)
As a kid who didnt get satire or pop culture references at the time, this show was a hit or miss for me. However, being an adult has allowed me to appreciate this show for what it is.
When a show makes a self aware joke that isn't forced or cringey, you've basically hit gold. That's either pretty telling for other shows or our standards are just that low
@@BlueRGuy CN was dying long before Discovery and even AT&T. The Amazing world of 😢 was pretty much the last remnant. That isn’t to say they don’t still have good cartoons (summer camp island *cries in canceled* and craig of the creek I don’t mind watching with my young nieces and nephews), but they just used to hit different. They’ve also pretty much destroyed their legacy making moves like turning Boomerang into another block for their junk and denying new generations opportunities to watch older cartoons (like Dexter’s laboratory, johnny bravo, etc).
I mean a lot of it’s humor was pretty trendy in the early 2010’s for a late 2000’s to early 2010’s show, but I really do not want to know what it’d look like with today’s humor 😭
i loved this show as a kid, i would laugh my ass off without getting 95% of it, now as an adult this shit is like seeing a crazy fever dream filled of all media names
just like they Frank Welker to voice Garfield a couple times, also got Tara Strong and Tom Kane to voice Bubbles and Him in one sketch; Tara strong also usually voiced twilight sparkle when she appeared. Always a treat in the few cases they got the actual VA to play their characters
I didn't realize how funny this show actually was. I watched it as a kid but like some other people have said you miss like 75% of the humor when you're young.
As good as the surreal humor was, the show was bogged down with pop-culture references and pretty dated memes even back then (Over 9,000 was a meme that predated MAD and was popular on the Internet) but I like the adult jokes.
If MAD aired today, I wonder how it would handle things like Frozen, FNAF, The Owl House, Hazbin Hotel, Bluey, Poppy Playtime, Game of Thrones, Undertale, etc
This show was rated 10+ and I remeber being an 8 year old feeling so sneaky watching MAD. I didn’t understand what was happening but still admired all the mix media and off the ball goofiness.
I only watched this show once as a kid. There has been one line that, for whatever reason, I have remembered since then. "We're getting sued for a million dollars." "That's not cool, man. You know what is cool? Getting sued for a billion dollars!" "No, that would be much worse."
That one in particular traumatized me when i was 11. Like, no punchline, I just watched my racing icon die, and they played his death out for so damn long, ugh, i remember hating the entire MAD brand for it.
MAD parodies were built different back in the day. Combining pop culture references with child friendly (but not demeaning) humor made a silly sketch on the surface, but one that trusted kids to get the jokes without beating them over the head. Plus they made references to kid's media and adult media that other shows didn't trust kids to understand, especially video games that were *actually* researched, not just played for the "haha video games are for kids and losers" jokes that some shows *now* still unfortunately can't get past.
This show was absolutely insane and I loved it for that. It was like all my interests as a child mushed into each other and then mixed in with the interests of the public. And I honestly forgot how much I miss it
*One of the only times, there some Warner Animation characters like Daffy Duck, Marvin The Martian, Fred Flintstone and Scooby-Doo which were drawn in a very similar way to the original cartoons, besides, of course, the DC characters that appears almost everytime in different styles (since this is technically a DC show And was part of DC Nation).
As a kid any show revolving around sketches was funny and interesting to me. This and other series like So Random got me into this style of comedy and inspires my writing to this day.
Alot of old and good shows were like that, New age shows are more baby proofed. They are thinking about (attempting to) appeal to kids while also not slipping in enduendos. Prime example spongebob 😅 an absolutely train wreck now.
I am one of the only people who prefers MAD over Robot Chicken? Because the humor here is actually hilarious, clever, and fun but Robot Chicken (most episodes) tries too hard to be funny by being gruesome, mean-spirited, offensive, depressing, disgusting, and raunchy as possible.
Nah, robot chicken fried too hard. Mad is a good example of you can be really funny without having to be as offensively shocking as possible to replace your lack of cleverness
Honestly same. I remember trying out Robot Chicken since I liked MAD, but I ended up basically hating Robot Chicken. Your points really hit the nail on the head!
I remember this show! Watching it during my tween years was probably why I fell in love with Robot Chicken as an adult. Seeing another 15-minute long animated parody show filled with superhero and Star Wars references brought back a lot of fond memories of this stuff!
for context, that was from a skit parodying diary of a wimpy kid but with video game characters, called “diary of a wimpy kid icarus” (pit from kid icarus was the main character in that segment). to introduce the school bullies pit has to deal with (bullies being a group of popular game characters, being sonic the hedgehog, megaman, donkey kong and pikachu), it shows the bullies harassing less popular characters, such as parappa also that skit literally predicted megaman joining smash bros, as the show ended a year before smash 4 was announced
This show was such a hidden gem. It was good as a kid but man as an adult all these references make it even better. And the crazy part is most people don’t even remember it. I guess cause it was in that weird transition phase between 2000s Cartoon Network and the 2010s with the bigger shows like regular show and adventure time even though mad aired with them at night.
5:03 I just realized they've parodied chris griffin in this video already and he wasn't voiced by Seth Green but then proceeded to have Seth Green on the show. Guess Mad really does live on through robot chicken

I remember this show! Watching it during my tween years was probably why I fell in love with Robot Chicken as an adult. Seeing another 15-minute long animated parody show filled with superhero and Star Wars references brought back a lot of fond memories of this stuff!
Child me could not fully appreciate this show and all the effort that was put into it
I wonder why they stopped airing the show I missed it..
2024 who remembers this show?
3:01 the fact that they mentioned family guy lol (and somehow planet sheen before that)
I wonder how much kids at the time understood the joke at all
“So long, Evil Monkey. You’ll have more room in here than my clos-“
DUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!
“Okay, I’m going.”
Don’t forget at 1:47
@@Bran615 and technically at 8:34 too
5:08 funny Seth Green actually voiced some characters in the show
5:41 I don’t understand if MAD back then thought PaRappa was still trending after PaRappa 2’s release and just put him in there for a gag…
They probably just used whatever video game character they could find
for context, that was from a skit parodying diary of a wimpy kid but with video game characters, called “diary of a wimpy kid icarus” (pit from kid icarus was the main character in that segment). to introduce the school bullies pit has to deal with (bullies being a group of popular game characters, being sonic the hedgehog, megaman, donkey kong and pikachu), it shows the bullies harassing less popular characters, such as parappa
also that skit literally predicted megaman joining smash bros, as the show ended a year before smash 4 was announced
I mean the Borg Bob bit was from star trek: The Next Generation.
-Ugh, I hate Mondays
-**dance**
*BEST MAD MOMENT EVER*
I love how the segment that clip is from is literally named “star wars: the groan wars”
@@catco123 i know
7:45 is basically the foreshadowing of the Pokémon movie😭
Michael Jackson?
@@victornava333It’s Jeff Goldblum
This show was such a hidden gem. It was good as a kid but man as an adult all these references make it even better. And the crazy part is most people don’t even remember it. I guess cause it was in that weird transition phase between 2000s Cartoon Network and the 2010s with the bigger shows like regular show and adventure time even though mad aired with them at night.
That spongeborg bit gave me strong RUclips kids vibes
ngl, I actually want to see what an episode of SpongeBorg SquarePants might look like
Its amazing how much humor and many references flew over our heads as kids
I loved MAD as a child, wish cartoon network could have balls to do stuff like this again
0:33 Fred's face has turned into Gordon Ramsay's face!!!😮
7:20 Hey! I got a whole bunch of free pizza up here!!😂😂😂😂😂
this show was so odd but i couldn’t stop watching it, it left so suddenly i thought i had imagined it all lol
5:03 I just realized they've parodied chris griffin in this video already and he wasn't voiced by Seth Green but then proceeded to have Seth Green on the show. Guess Mad really does live on through robot chicken
7:25 They actually put this on TV for kids
wdym?
Probably a joke on maturity/dad's leaving
What actually happen in this moment
4:39 shit caught me off guard 😭😭😭
10:11 funniest shit I’ve ever seen
0:46 definitely the funniest, and most ballsy of cartoon network to allow
True
4:55 Dr Mouse lmao, I loved that bit
Same
9:14
Oh my God, they got Weird Al to play!
As a kid who never knew what family guy was, I never got the references
"We got their balls.... Stop laughing!"
