Don Adams sense of timing was up there with Jack Benny and Bob Hope under much more demanding comedy. Love the satire when America could still laugh at itself with a sense of humour
Of course the point was they would ALWAYS accept the mission. Giving the pretense of choice was just a courtesy so to speak. Their sense of duty really gave them no choice.
I'm surprised they didn't include photos of Napoleon Solo, Illya Kuryakin and April Dancer for him to reject. ("The Man From U.N.C.L.E." was cancelled at about the time this episode aired, and "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E." had been cancelled the year before. Those series and "Get Smart" were all on NBC. "Get Smart" was actually a spoof on the original concept of "Man From U.N.C.L.E." where Solo was supposed to be teamed up with Dancer, not Kuryakin.)
I think what would have been funny is to have the photos of the Mission Impossible team. As he flipped through pictures of Peter Graves (Jim Phelps) and the others he could have said "Nah, none of them are good enough."

There is a fanfiction story where all the other IMF agents are busy with other cases so there is this other agency that Phelps has to draw on the resources of and it's Jim, meet Max, 99, Larrabee,and Hymie. The story actually works! Wonder if the people behind the Carell version ever read it.
I bet they had to get permission to use the photos of Alfred E. Newman and Tiny Tim in particular, he being an actual person and not just a trademark. Although...parody / satire is a permitted use under the Fair Use Doctrine of US copyright law, and heaven knows most of MAD magazine's content was able to be printed for just that reason.
In another episode, the Chief tells Max he has a special assignment that the two agents will have to know each other inside and out. Max says, "Sure thing, Chief. I will notify agents Chet Huntley and David Brinkley."

"If you choose not to accept it, you're fired." Utterly brilliant.
This secret message gets two speakers for stereo sound 😂😂
So much for secret message
My favorite episode of Get Smart. Max finally admits that he loves 99.
He probably likes 69 also.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 69 with 99, get change for 30
Now if Mission: Impossible had tape recorders like that, they'd never get the show started.
Among the many titles pocking fun at other TV series the British series "The Avengers' had an episode titled "Mission... Highly Improbable"
2:24 the last photo that got a laugh was of Tiny Tim, a popular performer, famous for singing "Tiptoe through the Tulips"
Thanks. Was going through the comments hoping someone had the answer for whose picture he was tearing up.
So WHY Did Maxwell Smart rip up Tiny Tim's Photo?!
@UncleMikeNJ such as. . . what exactly?
That doesn't give us much time, and I don't have to tell you what that is. Pure Comedy Genius.
I'm sure the producers of M:I got a big laugh outta this LOL
It was meant to satirize _Mission: Impossible_ , so yeah, they liked it.

Once you've been parodied, you know you've made it. Geller's show was a solid hit, lasting all the way to 1973, long after Get Smart ended.

You're right. Sadly, Tiny Tim failed the audition for Chewy. But he might have made a fine Groot.
He makes breakfast and cares for the elderly.
