It ain't a good RebelTaxi vid until I gain some insane hyper-fixation for a thing I never cared about till a week prior.
The intro where Woody is shooting at the lion I can't help but laugh because he pulled that gun out of nowhere🦁🔫and after watching the Lightyear movie I can't help but wonder if other Toy Story Characters can get their own spin-off movie like a Battlesaurs movie or a Woody Roundup movie I'm just saying if any Toy Story character deserves a spin-off movie it should be Woody⭐
Yeah, I actually do remember that movie, and I loved it....dickhead
I love when TH-camrs shill stuff they don't support. Helps me stay away from certain products :D
I feel like the youtube channel Mash is in the spirit of Mad
What is the music called at this 2:18?
I think the "Spy vs. Spy" segment really stands out as the best part of the Cartoon Network's _MAD._ The slapstick humor stays faithful to the comic strip, which is both spies are the textbook definition of _"Never let them know your next move"._
For me it's the Spy vs. Spy segments and the ones that are adaptations of Don Martin's strips.
One of my first gaming memories was the game boy spy vs spy game
Was literally my childhood
The spy vs spy segments and the 2d animation always shook out to me, I really miss 2010s CN, I mean I grew up with it, but it was such a weird and experimental time for the network, which ended up being their last hoora seeing as both mad and CN effectively don't exist anymore
True. Because spy vs spy doesn't have pop culture references. And the theme music that plays is cool a d catchy
The line about kids feeling like they're watching something they shouldn't hits incredibly hard and feels like a core appeal. Mad 09 didn't feel like a kids version of something meant for adults so much as it felt like a show getting away with way more than anything else. I remember at one point it was scheduled directly before the switch to Adult Swim, and it always felt fitting to me.
But yeah, a vast majority of it does not hold up. It was cool at the time tho.
That was definitely a big appeal factor to me as a kid. I was around 10 or 11 and that's the time in every boy's life where they want to feel older than they really are. CN was also going through a bit of an edgy phase where they were airing shows that were edgier without going full adult swim, that was when they aired Robotomy for example, and I ate all that shit up, lol.
Similar with the magazine back when.
"They know adult's sacred cows are being deflated". Being faced with age appropriate programing that was completely divorced from reality, having something pointing the finger (especially in something as innocuous as a comic book) like a scene from They Live! at the unreality of it all was a beacon that there was something more just beyond the horizon.
May not have understood all the words, but could certainly whistle the tune.
I love MAD
That was basically the same thing with Regular Show for me as a kid, and I guess it's also fitting that both Mad and Regular Show used to air new episodes back to back since both shows felt like I was getting away with watching something with more edgy and adult humor than almost anything else on Cartoon Network or on any other kids channel in general, even if Regular Show has absolutely stood the test of time more
Like the itchy and scratchy show
This show came to Brazil and man every kid in class would talk about it. We loved that shit. It was an instant hood classic. Introduced me to Scott Pilgrim too, which led me to playing the bass and being an incel.
I was hoping for a happier ending to that sentence
Good Ending
What do you mean @@RebelTaxi, that's a happy ending
Holy shit, that last sentence is some non-sequitur Pan would say
@@RebelTaxiWhat is the music called at this 2:18?
The "So that's what that looks like" cutaway family guy gag is absolute gold.
It's gotta be one of my favorites 😂
The Mad cartoon is definitely a massive time capsule on the culture that the late 2000s to early 2010s brought us, and in way I gotta appreciate that.
Right? The Thunder Lolcats skit is a perfect time capsule of early 2010s internet.
I remember watching it when I was younger. It's very dated but unique and interesting.
@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus1shut up bitch!!
MAD on Cartoon Network is an amazing time capsule of the early 2010s.
Which makes it hard to watch re-watch as everything in that show is outdated
Agreed! I was a young adult at the but I loved it! I enjoyed it almost as much as MADTV.
I wish it did get another season or two at least, this show deserved a longer run.
As someone who was born in 1998, it was basically the fun-house mirror version of pop culture back then. Unlike even contemporary Family Guy which felt like relying too much on older stuff when i was 12-13.
@@Sy-row-workit makes it even more fun to rewatch for me cause it gets so nostalgic but yes it definitely shows its age...🧐
Contrary to popular belief, MAD actually transformed from a comic book to a magazine BEFORE the Comics Code shield was introduced. The actual reason why MAD became a magazine was because William Gaines was seriously considering on leaving his own company in favor of a lucrative gig in the magazine business, so the rest of the MAD crew begrudgingly turned their own publication into a magazine so that Gaines would want to stay on board, which he thankfully did.
Little would they realize that in hindsight, this decision turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as once the Comics Code actually DID get introduced a few months later, MAD now being a magazine kept it safe from the Code’s extremely heavy censorship regulations.
Close, but a little off. Editor Harvey Kurtzman was the one who was considering leaving for a plumb job at Pagent magazine because he disliked working in comics and wanted to work on a glossy, high end magazine (aAKA a "slick"). Gaines changed the format of MAD to a magazine to appease Kurtzman and keep him at MAD.
This show was a fever dream. My mom didn't want me watching it because of one bit where they showed Lightning McQueen getting crushed to death. Of course those edgier jokes were the reason I loved it! I was the kid who snuck out of his room at night to watch adult swim, and I actually made the connection between MAD and robot chicken all the way back then!
I thought it would be that scene where an acne ridden kid pops a pimple and gushes out pus, dead skin, blood, body parts, bones, and everything else comes out.
@@GoneFishingAway I guess it's because that was more gross out humor whereas the Lightning McQueen skit featured a character visibly in pain and dying. My mom didn't even know who the character was, she was just freaked out at the skit itself.
oh my god thats always been the one scene in MAD i ever remembered! i used to watch cars alot as a kid so thats probably why
@@Kodeb8she didn't know who lightning McQueen was in the early 2010s. Thats odd. Especially since you were a kid, I'd assume cousins, friends or something would have a cars party or cars toys.
The only gag I remember from that show is that Tintin cameo
"My Adventures are not boring."
"Fine they are European."
I like Tintin, and find that kinda funny
Speaking of Tintin, I would really love if Pan would do a video on The Adventures of Tintin 2011 and explore how despite tintin being a worldwide phenomenon, tintin for some reason is relatively unknown in the US.
My Little War Horse
Idk if it's from the same skit, but I remember Pinkie Pie saying "Tintin? And I thought Pinkie Pie was a dopey name!"
@@MaximizedAnimation that might be it
@@kittykittybangbang9367 what about the 90s show? Which still holds up better than you would expect
Nicole Sullivan, Debra Wilson, Alex Borstein and Andrew Bowen were also Mad TV cast members with considerable VO filmographies
Ahem you forgot Artie.
idk the voice actors but i do remember like half of the cast of Wordgirl was on there just because when i was bored as a kid i'd look at the cast info on our DirecTV stuff
Also there was Will Sasso, Pre-SNL Taran Killam, and Key and Peele
Alex Borstein only voices a character from an obscure American show, I think Lois something
@@namelessresource5782 Hey now, that Superman cartoon isn't obscure!
Glad to see CN's Mad getting more attention in recent years. It really was unique
One thing I love about MadTV was that every time Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are on screen, such as Funkenstein and the Deal or No Deal parody.
You can tell that they have good chemistry that years later, they have their own comedy sketch show simply called "Key and Peele" and featured in films such as Keanu (2016).
While they moved on to do solo projects (Key as a comedy actor and Peele as a critically acclaimed director), they still be remembered as one of the best comedy duos of all time.
Man, it feels old knowing there is a generation of people that have no idea what “Key and Peele” is
God, I was so infatuated with MAD like you wouldn't even believe.
I remember waiting for the show's premiere on Cartoon Network back during the early 2010s.
It's a shame that the show has long since been canceled, I would LOVE to see what kind of jokes they could make with our current pop culture.
Rest in peace, Al Jaffee. He taught me the word "retching" through his comics.
I think the thing that sticks out in the back of my mind is them parodying Minecraft wayyy before it got even close to the level of popularity and cultural relevance it has nowadays. That MAD sketch is actually what led me to discovering what Minecraft was as a kid.
One of the rare times a sketch from this show actually aged slightly better with time
It was that parody how I got into both Minecraft in way not really and criminal minds especially criminal minds!!!
Indeed, that sketch was the first time I heard the name "Minecraft". I don't think I saw what the actual game was until like a year later
"You're never gonna close all those tabs."
Why must you call me out like this pan.
¡AY CARLY! lives in my mind forever thanks to this show
[espanol]
¡AY CARLY!
I never realized until that point but yeah. Mad basically was Robot Chicken for kids! 🐔
I remember watching as a kid and being grossed the fuck out by The Zit. I cant help but feel it had a stronger effect animated than it would've had on paper.
21:45 for me thats one of the best jokes I've ever seen in any media. It works on so many layers. It lampoons FG jokes. It doesn't show the joke they were referencing. It shows Peter acknowledging the cutaway jokes. Its so good.
Man, I'm getting old. Pan's starting to do retrospectives on cartoons from MY childhood.
I’m fully ashamed to admit that I was obsessed with this show when I was 10 years old, to the point where I asked my mom to record episodes I’d missed when I was at swim practice.
The 100th Episode was like fan service overload for my brain.
The "Spy vs Spy" game on original Xbox is actually kind of a hidden gem imo. Its main game mode for multiplayer was a four player FFA, it featured a lot of fun mechanics to screw over your friends and randoms. A lot of the game revolved around platforming, but the ways that players could make that more difficult for others was a lot of fun. I spent a good chuck of time playing it as a kid (still have the disc for the game too), and would recommend it as a fun party game with friends.
19:05 my god, that’s literally one of the many instances I remember watching this show. In the dentists office. Being given laughing gas while getting a cavity filled, losing my mind and laughing at the Clifford cloverfield sketch playing on the tv while the doctor tells me to stop laughing.
honestly, the cartoon network show was perfect for me during my teen years. appealed to my nerdy interests and even though i didn’t get all the references or parodies until much later, the way they were handled still worked for me. they’re not all 10s but when they hit, they hit. ben 10 franklin, mouse m.d., thunderlolcats, diary of a wimpy kid icarus and fresh prawn of bel-air were some of my favorites growing up.
When this show came to brazil, it became an instant cult classic around here, the fact that most skits featured some of the original voice actors contribuited to it's success too.
13:58 THERE I AM, GARY, THERE I AM!
Haha! You made it into a video
CN MAD is what introduced me to their Magazine. And since one of the shows producers worked on Robot Chicken, yeah this show was basically kids verison of RC.
So glad to see someone cover this show alongside MAD's other television outings.
MAD as a franchise is so weird and I love it
Also, Black Spy all the way.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who rooted for Black Spy whenever the Spy vs Spy segments would come on.
@@KirbyonTH-cam Me here!
We’re even…for now
It's Nick!
I loved that concept of just getting two random media and creating the main skit. It makes most of them dated but also feels fresh as a lot of humor nowadays is just random nonsense. MAD came out at the right time for the network and I appreciate all the hard work to make it like the magazine way more now looking back.
Fun Fact: the Latin American dub of MAD is infamous for being dubbed by unprofessional dub actors
except the one about regular show in this video, where for some reason they got the actual Mordecai and Rigby VAs
i pogged when i heard them lol
@@jellystarlight44That was the regular English version, not the Latin American dub
sometimes they would match the voices with the actors that dub the characters like christian bayle's batman
@@jellystarlight44 The reason for that was that MAD and Regular Show were dubbed by the same studio
@@S0me-Rand0m-Guy i figured as much, still, epic
It's genuinely crazy how many of these skits still stuck with me this many years later. I could just see a clip of them and go "Oh man, that episode! That was the shit!". Really an awesome video, I look forward to more of this kind of stuff.
This is easily one of the most dated cartoons ever, but I really feel that it being dated adds to its charm in a way
It’s dated but I would love to see what they would do with modern properties and what kids like nowadays
Some of these skits will live in my head for the rest of my life. Especially the “I before e” one from the first episode.
Apperently there a lot of word that have "e before i"
As a kid that was very up to date with movies and tv, I loved this cartoon, even when it was more obscure things I hadn’t seen
Also had a little running game with myself trying to bet whether White or Black was winning the Spy vs Spy shorts, hella good memories
There was also a German animated movie called "Don Martin Does it Again" in the 80s adapting his MAD comics that nobody ever talks about. It's worth noting for having significantly better animation than any of these other attempts at translating his work to the medium.
The one they did Doctor Who and Whose Line is it Anyway? Is probably peak "WHO TF IS THIS SHOW FOR?!?!?!"
God, this show was my childhood. It had plenty of nightmare fuel too ya know, from Zombi, a spoof of the Disney direct-to-video sequels with Bambi's mom as a zombie, or Katy Putty Flammable, where she sets puppets ablaze. Mad 2010 felt wild for CN, and that's kind of a good thing. And Mad TV is just underrated as Cartoon Network's adaption of the comics.
21:51 Oh so THATS the original joke, the brazilian dub said something like "do you think we are in family guy?" then peter said "now that hurt me" it didn't had the context of being a reference to the cutaway gags
Tom Richmond offers very in depth caricature workshops. He essentially teaches what's in his “Mad art of Caricature” book, but he also brings attendees a signed copy and he offers free prints. Really cool guy.
As a German, I would have never expected Bernd das Brot in a Rebeltaxi Video. He is our cultural icon. The depressive bread that unites our nation
Bernd taught me existentialism and the beauty of ingrain wallpaper as a child!
@@khosrow Ah Raufasertapete
I love time capsule shows. Sure it’s dated, but it’s so fascinating to see how much humor & pop culture has evolved in so little time. A show like this could never exist now, the internet has replaced this sort of content especially for kids
Over in my country, back in the 80s-90s, we had a comic magazine called "Gila-Gila" which translates to, "Crazy-crazy" I grew up with it. It's later when I grew up I realized the magazine was inspired by Mad.
At least Gila-gila are still produce new issue.... I remember one of the older issue it in school library(dont remember what issue) and learn that back in the old day, Malaysia call Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse as Mat Tikus dan Minah Tikus.... now that a funny Malay translation there...
man it was such a joy seeing you dig into this topic. i grew up seeing the show on cartoon network, i remember the zit popping gag terrifying the shit out of me. something about it stuck with me tho and i started collecting the magazine, i've read almost every issue, mostly digitally. it's kinda shocking how well it holds up despite the references being so dated. i used to dream about writing for it so it was a big blow when it when out of publication. rip mad, thank you for being such a big part of my childhood.
I don’t think it was meant to be timeless and well-remembered, it did its job of making me feel like one of the cool older kids before bedtime💀
Feels like some good ol classic Pan Pizza
This show was an absolute blast to watch for elementary to middle school me. I never got it on DVD, that's because only the first season was released on DVD.
Still, this was down my alley for elementary to middle school me.
I remember watching the new episodes on Cartoon Network back during the early 2010's.
It's a shame that the show has long since been cancelled in 2013, I would *LOVE* to see what kind of jokes they could make with our currently changing pop culture.
I can’t even imagine if they kept it running for maybe four more years. Imagine it parodying Harambe, the Dreamworks Trolls movies, Donald Trump's run for President, etc.
What even about Cartoon Network's future popular shows? Like Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go, Clarence, etc.
Maybe in an alternate timeline/parallel universe, that's where we'll be right now.
I think Spy vs. Spy really stands out as the best part of Cartoon Network's MAD.
The slapstick humor stays faithful to the comic strip it was based on, which is both spies are the textbook definition of "Never let them know your next move".
Even though I didn’t get all the references or parodies until much later in my life, the way they were handled still worked for me. They’re not all 10's but when they hit, they hit. Grey's In Anime, Mouse M.D., Thunder-LOL-Cats, Diary of A Wimpy Kid Icarus and The Fresh Prawn of Bel-Air were some of my favorites growing up. It had plenty of nightmare fuel too you know (that didn't scare me though), from the ad parody "Zombi", a spoof of the Disney direct-to-video sequels with Bambi's mom as a zombie, or Katy Putty's "Flammable", where she sets puppets ablaze. 2010 MAD felt wild for Cartoon Network, and that's kind of a good thing.
Some of these skits will remain burned in my head for the rest of my life.
Especially the acne skit from the first episode. Even that one skit where Lighting McQueen got crushed to death.
I would’ve loved to see a Ready Player One. Since they did do a spoof for the magazine.
I remember me and my dad watching this and Billy and Mandy together, he liked the Grinch parody in one episode and I liked Spy Vs. Spy. A lot of the jokes like the Lady Gaga Where's Waldo segment flew over my head
This show was truly a fever dream that’s both super dated and ahead of it’s time
This show was an absolute blast to watch for elementary school me. I even have the DVDs that they made for this show, although I believe it was only the first season of the series that was released on DVD. Still, this was down my alley for elementary school me (I even watched Robot Chicken on adult swim around this time too).
This was a show I never gotten into , cause while it did have its moment I just couldn't get over the insane amount of Grossout it had, also I love how you can tell how insanely dated some of the parodies with the shit they decided to pick out (like freaking escape from planet earth).
I was fortunate enough to see a couple episodes with minimal or even zero grossout humor and loved them, then when that started popping up I just decided to edit all the sketches I liked into my own episodes. It's a labor of love, and maybe someday I can upload them somewhere for people like you who hate that stuff to watch.
12 year old me thought this show was absolute peak comedy. Some of the sketches still make me laugh.
It’s been so long I didn’t even remember you already made a MAD video way back then. That old clip sent me on a bigger nostalgia trip than this show lol
I just want to take a moment to say I really enjoy your work RT. The amount of effort and creativity you pour into each of your videos is next-level, and I love how it follows along and is stylized to whatever the video's topic is. You deserve to feel proud of what you're putting out there for us!
This was such a good flashback to when I was younger. I vividly remember watching MAD when it just came out. A shame something like this can likely never exist in the modern day...
CN's MAD is gaining attention these days so I am pretty surprised you would release a video around the show!
Even growing up as a brazillian kid and not understanding the majority of the references, i still laughed at some skits.
I will never forget My Little War Horse..weirdly enough I think that was my first exposure to a non Loki role Tom Hiddleston did AND IT WASNT EVEN THE MOVIE LMAO
All these celebrity references went WAAAAY over my head as a kid. Still are.
The Robot Chicken sketch *Smurfatar* feels like a unofficial pilot to the series.
22:51 Y'know if I had a nickel for every Panty & Stocking song that had stock vocals that were sampled, I'd have two nickels (for reference Fly Away had vocal samples from Zero-G's Vocal Forge)
I literally watched a few youtube vids about sample cds and their influence in video games a few days ago, and your example was in it
You’ve talked about Adventure Time and Regular Show for so long, that it genuinely shocks me that you haven’t talked about CN’s MAD yet!
MAD is definitely a guilty pleasure, but still enjoyable show for me. I still remember my first exposure to MAD: Social Netjerk and Spiderman Turn off the Clark. It was kinda like a mini animation festival with different types of animation.
This show was ahead of its time
No it was its time
This show is a product of ITS time.
I hate this zoomer stock phrase so much like you won't believe
My grandmother submitted a script to Mad Magazine in the '70s. They liked the idea and rewrote it but still credited her for the idea in the magazine, which was cool.
I've never seen the CN Mad show, but one thing I thought was interesting from your coverage was your mentioned that they had Don Martin stuff on the show. Don Martin angrily left the magazine in the late '80s, feeling like they had treated him poorly. I see that he died well before the CN show happened, so presumably his surviving family were more open to his name being associated with the show.
My fav skit from MAD has got to be their parody of F.R.I.E.N.D., that time where they parody Randy Cunningham first episode and also Regular Show combine with Maziger(it like they know what going to happen with the duck episode.) Also, i thought i the only one who notice the parent trainer ads play that "song"....
thank you for giving mad the recognition they deserve
Ive heard "uh oh hot dog" only on the pizaa party podcast, ive been referencing that for 8 years and i just found out where its from
Loved watching this show with my dad. He grew up on Mad and got it for me. He’d read it when I was done with it and sometimes before I even got a chance to. One of the only cartoons he could stand. Good times.
Oh sweet I just binged a bunch of your vids .
You see, this aired here on Brazil. And since the cartoons/movies represented on mad had to be dubbed (obvious reasons), the cartoon network brought the official portuguese voices for the parodies so many times you could not count.
Superman had the official superman voice, wolwerine too, will smith had his voice in all parodies etc.
It was really cool
That's actually really cool!
Like how the Japanese dub of Mark Hamill's Joker voiced The Joker in The Dark Knight.
MAD was the first show that kid me was ever heartbroken by its cancelation, I'd love for it to come back one day out of nowhere.
I never thought mad would age so well
I used to quote this show all the time at boy scout camp until my friends screamed at me to stop
I know I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Your videos are really some of the highest quality content on yt imo. Your research is on the level of 5 hour hbomberguy videos, including niche topics and trivia that I wouldn't expect many other people to cover. You also have great editing, with the nicest branding and asthetic on yt. On top of this the writing is fun and witty without being annoying. keep it up!
I remember being really hyped for this show given that I was seven years old at the time of its release.
It’d never happen but imagine a version of Mad where a bunch of cartoons licensed out hosted their own version of the MADTV show.
Like it could be hosted by Daffy Duck who has an ensemble of characters doing skits alongside a bunch of guests.
Heck if Mad got another TV show, I could totally imagine a Demon Slayer parody where it crosses over with My Hero Academia and Batman where Tanjiro or any other Demon Slayer character decapitates Shigaraki or the Joker and realize too late that wasn’t a demon.
9:33 skibidi toilet spotted
Not gonna lie. This was one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows. It’s stupid but also damm entertaining.
I was gonna comment about the stock vocals used, but you got that covered. "History of sampling in video games" reminded me and showed me a few I didn't know.
Man, I used to catch this show every week. Now it's been over a decade and you brought it back into my mind, thanks man. I needed some nostalgia
for MAD's legacy, the pimple scene haunts me to this day. had to cover my eyes when you showed it here. i'm 26.
It's been a very long time since I watched Mad. Coming back to this video brings back vague memories.
I know it's dated as hell, but I loved this thing when I was a kid. It blew my mind back then that they were able to feature and spoof things from other companies. I'm actually still kinda miffed that it didn't last longer
My exposure to mad magazine as a kid was exclusively a book of Sergio Aragonés’ work… and this show
The Ambiguously Gay Duo actually wasn't from SNL. It was a segment on The Dana Carvey Show, which only lasted one season and got cancelled. The same company that produced the animation also did Saturday TV Funhouse (aka the animated SNL segments), so they just reused them, even airing segments that got cut from The Dana Carvey Show.
so yeah this is one I beat Pan to I guess...
some of those clips you showed brought back memories, i remember watching mad on cn when it was still airing
When a new episode of CN’s MAD would premiere, me and my younger brother would each bet on whether the white or black spy would win in the end. It was like a more intense game of coin toss. Good times.
Mad TV and Mad CN were one of my childhood shows I watched. Good stuff!
Really wanna know what sketches Daron Nefcy worked on this show. Apperantly, the infamous "Grey's In Anime" short was one of them? WILD.
I loved this show as a kid and I still think it's underrated. As a kid, the show used to make me laugh so hard that I almost lost my breath. It's also influenced some of my sense of humor and it seems like it might've influenced other creators as well.
I feel crazy bc i seriously just marathoned the show last weekend. I saw every episode when it premiered and even started buying the magazine. I am so thankful for this show
I love that you mentioned your original review from back in 2010. I was in high school too when I watched it! Along with other vintage RebelTaxi like the Teen Titans Card Game and Sonic Underground reviews. Honestly, this might be this channel might be the only thing from back in those days that is still going I keep up with.
This show needs to return!
I still listen to your pizza party podcast
It's so weird to go back to MAD after all these years and my memories of these sketches just bubble back to the surface. Seeing how much if has influenced my sense of humor I wonder how different it would be if I never got into it
8:44 I don't know how but I caught this Forrest Gump skit when I was maybe 5 on TV and for YEARS I thought that was what Forrest Gump was about. I actually got into MAD TV when I was an edgy tween using the internet and even owned the one dvd release they ever did, yet somehow never came across this skit during that time.
I was too old for this show when it was on but i respect the insanity they attempted to bring
I've always wanted to watch MAD TV! I am a fan of Robot Chicken this seems like my cup of tea.
I remember this show in CN it was weird and some jokes were pretty fun, others not so much but as you said, it kept you entertained, my favorite one was a parody of DBZ with Baseball Goten,Trunks,Goku and Vegeta, oddly enough similar to the DBsuper episode.
