While the 2010 shorts have a sorta charm, the 1995 shorts have much better animation and are overall less rushed.
Aside from the stop motion ones. They get a blue ribbon for even bothering going that extra step.
Agreed.
I might be in the minority, but I like the music from the MADtv versions better.
They rehatch the jokes 15 years later for the cartoon network version of show I Do saw some of it but i know they do it for this 15 years later I preferred the original or the newer one because of the music of this one 0:38.
the cartoon network version of Spy vs Spy felt like a flash cartoon from newgrounds, which isnt necessarily a bad thing
Both have their advantages. The rudimentary style of the 2010 version does have it's charm but the 95 version clearly has more time put into it.
The animation in 95 is amazing but in my opinion 2010 has better music and I prefer their chipmunk laughs to their snickers in 95, plus the stop motion segments in the later seasons are cool and impressive and they do pretty cool title cards for each segment compared to 95 where it's just the same one every time.
Well yeah.... 95 had more air time. 2010s was a 15 minute show about 4 minutes for commericals leaving 11 minutes for show, so they had to crunch em down as short and quick as possible
Repetitive or not, I fucking love the music from the 2010 shorts.
Same
Me too. So nostalgic.
Yes the music is way better
It sounds so cool. Instantly recognizable whoever came up with that tune was a marketing genius lol

Like others say, I prefer the 1995 version. The art style looks just like the original comics. Some of the artwork on MAD was clearly rushed; mainly on season 1, other times it looks fine.
True. But I’ll say the later season Spy vs spy Dont feel rushed. Not to mention mixed with plenty stop motion versions which I think are better. Definitely made it stand out more
MAD used several different animators when working on the show, the SpyVSpy segments used at the very _least_ 4 different animators in the first season. It's clearly stylistic decision, not because they were rushed.
The only thing the 2010 version has over 1995 is that outright iconic backtrack.
The only reason Spy Vs. Spy’s skits were “rushed” is because a majority of MAD’s episodes (all episodes of MAD, in fact, when it aired on Cartoon Network) lasted for 11-12 minutes, so they couldn’t do anything about it. As it stands, MAD’s version tries its best & does what it can. And MADtv clearly lasted longer when it aired on public broadcast networks in the past.
After season two things were way better the stop motion looks great and works really well for the short Spy vs Spy segments
Even tho I grew up with 2010 Spy vs Spy shorts, I absolutely prefer everything about the 1995 shorts more. The music, the sound effects, the pacing, the animation, etc.
The music fits the tone of the series better too
2010 music >1995

Mad TV's Spy Vs Spy Has Always Been More Dramatic With There Scenes
True
old cartoons are the best
the 1995 one were produced by Klasky Csupo.
I’m glad they switched to claymation for season 2
I like the newer ones better. It’s funnier when it’s more fast paced like that
I personally don't think the newer ones were rushed. I think they just made them faster paced.
I'd say they also made them a little more simplified so the joke could be more easily digested
@@bgoinsowo1277 Agreed. You have to remember, the newer Spy vs. Spy was aired on Cartoon Network, and their target demographic is kids.
@@bgoinsowo1277 not really, it's just the same except the old version just had more effort in the animation/drawing
Agreed. And they were put on a very tight time limit when it came to the runtime of each episode; MADtv was not the case because the episodes were longer. As for MAD when it aired on Cartoon Network, each episode only lasted 11 minutes!
Thats Just an art chose, that is why is so good
In defense of some of the 2010 episodes, things were explained better for the jokes to land. Episodes like Splitting Torpedo, Basketball Hoop, Shadow, and Pogo Stick are good examples.
Splitting Torpedo: The split is shown long enough to explain why this is funny and clever.
Basketball Hoop: Black Spy celebrating his "victory" with his arm in the hoop gives more time to show why White Spy's trap is funny.
Shadow: In the 1995 version, Black Spy's club is only shown for less than a second, so we wouldn't have much time to process what Black Spy was going to do. In the 2010 version, it's explained better by showing the club for a moment before Black Spy charges. The brief pause before he falls helps with the explanation too.
Pogo Stick: In the 1995 version, the picture on the wall diverts attention away from the spikes (which are already out of view and also make it a little less clear that the ENTIRE ceiling is full of them) and the spy dies too quickly before we could look at the ceiling. The 2010 version instead directs the attention to the ceiling spikes by removing the picture, having a wider view of them, and waiting a bit before the spy enters.
Very true
At least for the splitting torpedo I think the nature of how quick it is makes it way funnier than giving it time to show what’s going on clearly. Leaving it the old way you get the same gag with just enough time to be understood, plus added surprise, seems better to me
Not to mention the 2010 version of the Pogo Stick skit, it follows the original comic exactly, unlike in the 1995 version where it was reversed
Yes fully agreed
Don't forget in the Basketball skit that White Spy in the 2010 version is actually shown trying to defend his ground on the court to not make Black Spy suspicious that it's a trick by just watching him.
I think the exception where the 2010 version was better is the Mousetrap one, because the original Spy vs. Spy Sketch was not from MADtv but from an old TV special. The TV special has the sketch take place in the daytime, but the new version took place at night.
That explains why it doesn't have the MADtv background music
And the vocalization style. I like the newer weird giggle better than the old hiss laugh.
@@arueshalaetablebuildingsociety Actually the old Muttley-like laugh was better, because the laugh was meant to be more of a snicker.
You're right, that one looks more like a failed reboot, the new one fits better with the actual Spy vs. Spy kits.
6:13 looks like a fever dream
Fun Fact: Klasky Csupo Is The One Behind The 1995 Spy Vs Spy Shorts, At least a few of them
The home of RoboSplaat
Yeah the rest was done by Rough Draft Animation
Why did you keep capitalizing random words?
Just season one. Season two was animated by Rough Draft Studios, if I had to guess. Apparently, both seasons were animated with digital ink and paint (except for the first two shorts during the first season, which were the animated adaption of Operation: Bomb Site (from the third Spy vs. Spy paperback from the early 70s), and the pogo stick and spikes), thus making season one as one of Klasky Csupo's earliest implementations of digital ink and paint, unless I'm mistaken.
And the stop motion ones from the CN show were done by Stoopid Buddy
Sometimes I regret seeing CN's spy vs spy before this MadTv kind
Untill you watch the stop motion shorts
I don’t, the CN’s Spy vs Spy was what introduced me to the characters in the first place and even if they look worse than the original cartoons, it’s also understandable given this was a weekly cartoon that had to contend with at least 10-15 other segments in the show and even then, they still have their charm especially when they get to using stop motion.
1995 felt better.
well the 2010 version had shorts every episode of mad, so it had to be rushed
I agree the animation is a bit better
More less but yes 🥶
Yes
I like the Cartoon Network version better. Especially because if the music.
5:25
When I first thought white spy was reading his top secret paper,
After black spy falls in white spy's shadow trap, White spy throws it onto the ground which shows what it looks like.
I forgot to mention: *_WHITE SPY'S TOP SECRET IS JUST THE WORD TOP SECRET_*
super secret
I love how he spent a long time reading it, like he was very interested and it was a super important and detailed message, but it turned out to just say "TOP SECRET."
7:21 I prefer this laugh
Same
Love it! Makes them both sound more devious. Plus it's fun to imitate.
Though it does seem like Muttly from Wacky races might Sue
it’s iconic asf to me
While I like both versions, the old one on mad tv has so much more fluent animation than the reboot of mad
And that was the 90s where Hannah Barbara cartoons did walk cycles with repeating backgrounds so this was a step up
I grew up with the 2010 version, but the 1995 version is much better
I initially thought it was odd that with a few hundred comic strips this many would be reused but apparently 103 cartoons were made for the second "MAD" series in three years, a far greater number than appeared on Madtv (from my recollection) so it is probably inevitable that some would be reused and that they would have a relatively low budget.
The 95 versions feel like something youd see in an actual cartoon, while the 2010 versions look like old school flash animations.
Both are good though.
I love how much more angular 2010 spy vs spy was
Honestly, there are some aspects to both that work. I will say, in terms of the music track, the original one is way better; that little bit of Spy music massively beats out, just the same few notes being played over and over.
In terms of the punch-line, most of the jokes are supposed to be rapid, so the payoff is funnier. Part of what makes 1995's entries so funny, is you were never sure who would win. So many of the jokes build up a plan one Spy makes, only to then discover the other had a plan to counter that exact plan ahead of time. It really fits into the theme of tactical espionage because "how would they know?" They are Spys, their whole job is learning the secrets of their opponent before they can do it, and finding ways to stop it.
2010's versions have a unique artstyle, drawing closer to the comic sketches, but I find that often times, some of the jokes are way too obvious in them. The speed of the shorts has also been revved up, destroying the buildup and humor a lot of the jokes have.
Even though I grew up with the Cartoon Network version, the 1995 ones were better. The CN versions were kinda stiff.
These guys are like the Kings of April Fools Day
Yeah, either that or Beavis and Butthead on steroids.
1995 is way better love the old animation
2010's cartoons looked heavily rushed, no charm to them at all.
1995 ones look like they had faith in them, well drawn and little to no rush.
The 2010 version of Spy vs Spy was what I saw. True to the magazine.
While the 2010 versions have a sort of rudimentary charm to them the MadTV versions clearly have more time and effort put into them
That stop-motion (or maybe it’s digital and supposed to look stop-motion?) one was pretty cool tho, I don’t like the laugh but I’ve always liked that animation style
It’s stop motion not digital…
I think
It is stop motion. Starting in Season 2 of the CN Mad, they started animating them in that style. They were done by Stoopid Buddy Productions, the same people who did Robot Chicken.
I didn't even know there was a 1995 version of Spy vs. Spy.
That's because they're from MADtv, which premiered in October of 1995, two years and one week before I was born, to be exact. There were technically two seasons of shorts of Spy vs. Spy on MADtv; both seasons of the shorts reran all the way through season five, I think. I kinda remember seeing some of the Spy vs. Spy shorts on MADtv when I was a kid as I was actually exposed to MADtv thanks to my two older sisters (because they found the live-action character, Stuart Larkin, amusing). Anyhow, the first season of the 90s Spy vs. Spy shorts were animated by Klasky Csupo, whilst the second season was animated by Rough Draft Studios. Another note: both seasons of the Spy vs. Spy shorts were done with digital ink and paint (except for the first two shorts from the first season, but the remainder of season one was still animated with digital ink and paint, making it practically one of Klasky Csupo's earliest implementations of digital ink and paint, unless I'm mistaken), which may explain why the animation from the 90s Spy vs. Spy shorts was ahead of its time.
Spies In Their Characters: Foes
Spies Out Their Characters: Friends
i love spy vs spy stop motion style
Oh hey
@@Sibaspapu que onda xd
I personally like the music and animation of the 1995 version over the 2010 version. Also, the spies laughs I think were better in 1995. The 2010 version sounds too much like a chipmunk laughing or something silly
Agreed. I mean, the suppressed snickering the spies had in the 90s shorts honestly suited them quite perfectly. Imagine them having Ren Hoek's psychotic laughter from Ren and Stimpy. That's what I tend to imagine while reading the paperback comics all while listening to classical music that's typically heard on Ren and Stimpy. You know what I mean?
The 1995 ones are obviously better quality animation wise, but I personally prefer the music and faster paced nature of the newer ones. Also, and I cant really explain it, but the worse quality of the newer ones somehow makes the jokes even funnier.
bruh. the mouse trap cartoon was from the 70s MAD special
6:25 How did that wall get LONGER when it falls down?
Cartoon physics, just cartoon physics
Because it was from 1974
6:27 How many stars?!?!?!?
I'd say before the stop motion style happened for MAD, the original Spies felt a little rushed and sloppy.
If you notice from minute 5:40 to 5:54 the spies change roles
Revenge!
5:58 I prefer this camera zoom.
So it’s the comparison of the MAD from 1995 and 2010
Sadly, I miss MAD 2010 😔
OFFICER DOXXER MP5K TGTT ikr
The spiked celling cartoon in the magazine also has Black winning.
Because that was the correct original version two and a half years (it was one of the strips that were made towards the end of Bob Clarke's era) before the MADtv version, where the spies swapped roles for reasons unknown. Well, MAD eventually ended up animating the correct orginal version about fifteen years after the version for MADtv was made.

Spy vs spy history
The thing I like more about the cn ones is that boppin tune
1995 has animation and pacing, but 2010 Has the music
@Madoka Agreed, it feels repetitive after a while, and the original's music fits in with the sfx better imo
@@madoka4218 It's still pretty catchy tho
@@IzzyCrafted true but it's still good music on its own.
I think the pacing is better in the newer ones, but the quality is indisputably worse and the sound effects are grating.
Never new MAD was a kid version of MADtv
Meh, both were interpretations of MAD Magazine, just one was live action, the other was animated.
I hope they made a live-action/animated sketch comedy variety show also called MAD.
it would be perfect if it kept the animation effort from 1995 and the catchy ass music from 2010
Okay
Some of the 1995 versions are better, but actually quite enjoy the later 2010’s versions, I just think they’re a lot funnier. The best one is honestly the pogo one. It’s far funnier with that close up “oh shit” reaction
Some unmentioned:
Target Jigsaw: Originally Spy VS Spy VS Spy strip
The camp dig: Inspiration from Mountain Dew commercial starring these guys.
Those both are right, but in the second one the roles are reversed. Mad Men is also kinda similar to one of the mountain dew ones, as it ends with Black Spy falling and crushing White Spy who didn't fall, but the roles are reversed and White Spy crushes Black Spy and unlike Mad Men, White Spy (who fell) is hurt when falling as well, also in another mountain dew commerical, while it's mostly it's own thing, the part where White Spy tries to hit Black Spy with a box glove out of a helicopter, Black Spy uses a spring on his head which was under his hat and the box glove went into White Spy's face, this is very to similar to how in "White Flag" and another episode (forgot the name), But it's a role reversal Black Spy tries to kill White Spy with a bomb, and White Spy uses a spring and the bomb explodes near him. And more episodes are based off comics .
I'll admit the MADTV versions are much better animated, and that second intro they used in the shadow one is unironically phenomenal, I must say the handbag one was done a lot better by the MAD version. It's done in one shot, it gets to the payoff quicker, and the stopmotion style far outdoes MADTV's animation.
When I was younger, I used to play spy vs spy PS2 game with friends and we had fun doing random things and killing each other
I grew up with the MAD 2010 version
The old version is better
But Longer.
@@imjaden1655 but makes sense

@Madoka yes i do
Me too
Madtv Mouse trap spy vs spy is actually a magazine from the 1970s
Spy vs spy be balling 4:03
1995 version is way better than 2010 version
I’m pretty sure most of us can agree that the 1995 Skits are better than the 2010 ones, yea sure they may have their charm, however the 1995 Skits are just more well-made than them.
I actually kinda like white spy’s performance in the madTV episode of where he puts micro bombs into blacks gloves
I agree! In the version where the White Spy checked his watch, he hit better notes with his tuba!
Also another question is why does black spy wear gloves only in this shirt, is it for a special occasion or something
@@jeffreyweaver9854and played the tuba loudly along with background music too, apparently.
I love the music and there laughs spy vs spy is great😁
It's good to hear Antonio Prohías again
I like the 1995 ones better than the 2010. While 2010 only had about 2 episodes shown that have different music, I felt like 1995 had a list of songs that they used instead of just one singular song for the majority. Also something that 1995 did well was the format of the cartoon matched the dated (at the time, still used somewhat) sound effects, and the 1995 laugh SE is better than 2010's... 1995 doesnt make me want to strangle the cartoon characters. The only neat thing 2010 did was flip a format for the Pogo episode, 1995 having the trap be set up for black, and 2010 having thr trap be set up for white, nice little detail for the cartoon they were poorly remaking
I like the Cartoon Network ones better. Especially the music.
These two outsmart each other
Animation-wise, the OG is better but the new one wins me for the music
The Logo Stick Version is different, in Madtv, White Spy beats Black Spy, but in Mad 2010, it's vice versa.
The 90's rad surfer music sounds so uncharacteristic for a show about 2 hackers griefing each other.
So a tv app called madtv made this but the tv series called mad made this I don't get it
6:13 why is this one in color?

There are two (2) instances where I prefer the new ones: the mousetrap and the spiked roof.
The stopmotion one at the end was nice tho
The 1995 shorts were ao much better.
So this is Spy vs Spy vs Spy vs Spy, cool.
I prefer the 1995 version of Spy vs Spy
Okay but like
I’m not the only one who prefers the original laugh right?
The 1995 one is waaaaay better.
I will say, I like their chipmunk laugh in the 2010 version
5:39 The tables have turned
6:12 ew no Gross! No I don't wanna! No! Ah, get it out of here no!
Yeah, even the parody that mad themselves mad is right, it's unlikely these two are going to bury the hatchet.
I kinda like the music from the 2010 version better, but the animation from 1995 is better, and rhe shorts don't feel as rushed. I also liked the stop motion versions as well.
Regardless, all of these shorts were adapted from the magazine. No, seriously. To my knowledge, all the Spy vs Spy shorts on both shows were adapted _directly_ from Mad Magazine.
If you can, can you do Black and White Spy wins in Madtv Version?
I still think an online multiplayer version of Spy vs. Spy would be cool.
Though The First 2 2010 Styles Are Rushed, I Honestly Prefer All The Other Styles Over 1995. The Flash Styles Have Have Charm, The Style From "False Truce" Was Really Cute, & The Stop-Motion Ones Had A 3-D Feel To Them. Also The 2010 Laughs Feel More Like Laughs Than 1995
Same
Why did they change?
I Love Mad Cartoons
2:34 and 2:51 splitting torpedo is my favorite😂😂
Fun fact: rough draft, who does some animations for spy vs spy on madtv, is south korean
Actually, Rough Draft just did season two of the Spy vs. Spy shorts on MADtv. Klasky Csupo did season one. Good point though.

CN™'s Version Is Less Violent & More Funny For Young Audiences Than 1995 MADTV™
I had never seen much of this (probably because I was born in 2006) so I never got into it, but damn they ruined this in the remake like wth
Soul vs. Soulless... or Spy vs. Spyless, if you will.
I will give credit to the stop motion.
It would've been cool if they just recycled the old animation in the new version. It's a lot better animated and the pace is more natural because it's still short, but it takes its time to set the punchline.
Though the pacing was better for most of the original, it looks like cn was getting better as the show whent on
I really don’t like the random sound effects they added into the new version
