Best rip of a movie by 'Mad Magazine'

[ghouck]

I read Mad a bit when I was a kid, and one thing I always liked is when they ripped a movie. It could be my favorite movie, and they'd rip it in a way that was funny without leaving a feeling of insult. It just seemed like Mad's way of doing things, and like the obnoxious younger brother they always seemed to be, could not be taken seriously enough for a person to be offended. I LOVED when they ripped 'One Flew Over the Coo Coo's Nest' (One Coo Coo Flew Over the Rest). What ones do you remember as being particularly memorable?

There were quite a few I remember... I used to pick up Mad Magazine all the time from the library when I was a kid.

Mentl (parody of "Yentl")
Robocrap
Home Agroan
Grimlins 2: The New Botch
Teenrage Moolah Nitwit Turtles
Rockhead (parody of "Rocky")

The Harry Plotter ones are classic.  I also recall enjoying A Clockwork Lemon.     Theres so many and most of them are awesome.

Almost any time they did Star Blecch. Their parody of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was especially good.

Same can be said for Star Wars. Also liked their parody of Jaws.

Harry Potter and the Half-baked Movie!

Gosh, been so long since I've read Mad... but I DO remember some of the cool parodies I read way back when, I even still quote jokes from them.  

One of my favorites is from Superman 3.  The scene where Pryor's character hands Superman a piece of altered kryptonite and Superman goes, "Oh, my God, I suddenly feel like I'd enjoy doing MEAN and evil things to people!  What's to become of me?"

And Pryor responds, "You could always become a high school principal."


The parody they did of Star Trek: The Next Generation had some funny bits as well.

Tasha Yar, "I grew up in a savage place where life was a constant battle for survival.  Hey, it's not easy growing up poor in Beverly Hills!"

Riker: Sir, reports indicate that MILLIONS of people are dying throughout the galaxy!
Picard: How?!?  We've wiped out war and disease, what are they dying from?
Riker: Boredom!
Picard: Then how come we're still alive?
Riker: Because we're the only carriers!


I can even remember crazy lines from various other parodies (some I occasionally use in my life).  For instance, a line from a parody of Double Dare (old Nickelodeon game show, dunno if it's still on in one form or another.)

Team One: Dare!
Team Two: Double dare!
Team One: Dare you a hundred times!
Team Two: Dare you a MILLION times!
Mark (the host): Okay guys, as slim as our format is, I think we're losing track of it.

That's a good one for D&D sessions... :)

I liked the Karate Kid parody (can't remember the name of it).
"Gobble-de-gook! Gookey-de-gobble!!"

Though it's not a movie, the Full House parody was cool as well.

I remeber they did the movie "Basic Instinct" and called it "Bassically It Stinks" He hee, I love Mad Magazine humor
