I'll understand if this gets a bit of the flaming. MAD isn't great in all respects, but i do remember laughs from their spoofs of the OT.

Working from memory, here is a funny example:

(from "empire strikes back" spoof):
YODA: "You've already learned to lift small objects and *forgets full quote*. Maybe there's hope yet!"
LUKE: "Next can you teach me to lift wallets and girl's skirts?"
YODA: "Then again, all is lost."

Not completely correct, i know.
Anyway, here it is; my sole contribution to this whole section of the forum.
"Nothing is real, all is permitted"
- Hassan i Sabbah
"There's nothing wrong with anything."

I may add this parody in the sexy loser style, although I'll also have to point out a content warning:

I once owned the issue that had the spoof of the OT and I remember that line, here's the full quote

Yoda: You've learned to lift small boxes and crates. You might yet become a Jedi

Luke: Can you teach me to lift wallets and watches?

Yoda: Then again, maybe all is lost.

Also, here's another spoof of Vader's entrance on the 2nd Death Star.

Imperial officer: My you look wonderful, have you been vacationing in the sun?

Darth Vader: Knock off the small talk, you're behind schedual.

IO: But sir, we're already working 24 hours a day.

DV: Then you must double your efforts.

IO: You want us to work 48 hours a day?

DV: Look, I'm a sadist, not a mathatician!

I liked their suggestions for changing Star Wars for the future - the best being a suggestion to turn Yoda into a foul-mouthed couch potato who calls everybody 'asswipe' and 'butt-munch'. It had a beautiful little picture too of Yoda pointing at Threepio with his cane, saying "Heh heh. Ass-wipe you are."

Cracks me up every time I think about it.


And onto one of my favourite scenes in it...

Vader: Well Calrissian. Did he survive?

Lando: Uh... I really don't think so. He looks like creamed spinage.


While we're on the subject of Star Wars humour, has anyone else come across that absolute treat "Tag and Bink are dead." ? That is fantastic.

biggrin.gif Oh, I just remembered my favourite quote from the MAD spoof of The Empire Strikes Back. I'll share it with you here, but it's even better with the pictures showing the character's facial exp​ressions.

Yoda - I am Yodel, the Jedi master. I can teach you how to lift rocks, how to transmute metals and how to catch flies on your tongue. I also give an advanced course in cute.

Luke - Great. Let's get started.

Yoda - The first thing you must learn is patience.

Luke - Don't talk to me about patience. I've got tonnes of patience. Now let's get going, you slimy twit!

Even though a friend of mine currently works for MAD, I have to agree (he would hit me if he knew I was saying this).

The mag just isn't as sharp as it use to be. Those old MAD spoofs are fantastic. I've seen the spoofs of the Prequels so far and they just don't hit the marks. They go for the obvious and everything that's been made fun of in the Prequels has already been observed by everyone else.

Man, a lot of things haven't been the same before the '90's.

Lando: Uh... I really don't think so. He looks like creamed spinage.

Vader: That is cream spinach. Capt. Solo is over there...

Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"

All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

My MAD favorites were the short cartoons, like when an AT-ST walker steps on an ewok (that alone is funny and rewarding) and then proceeds to wipe the hairy goo off on a log. Or in the Jedi spoof, when Luke and Leia discover that it's easier to fly above the trees on their speeders... biggrin.gif

Ah, I know the ones and I remember them well.... and fondly. smile.gif

That magazine is at home in Australia. Wish I had it handy at the moment - but that distance thing is a bit of an issue. wink.gif

Made a quick search to find the mentioned MAD cartoons and I found this:

Oona goota Solo? Priceless for people like me who hate the Greedo scene. Check out the comments from his fellow bounty hunters.

QUOTE
Boba Fett was involved: How that could be possible is unclear, since he was acting as one of Jabba's bodyguards while the Bloated One waited for Solo at Docking Bay 94 during the time of the incident. However, an unofficial rule states that Boba Fett must be mentioned at least once on any given Star Wars related website since both he and Wedge Antilles are considered, quote, "cool".
(Far be it from us to break the trend).

ROTFL! That page was one of the funniest things I've read in ages.
QUOTE
The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

QUOTE
Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
