This list of film spoofs in ''Mad'' includes films spoofed (parodied) by the American comic magazine ''Mad''. Usually, an issue of ''Mad'' features a spoof of at least one feature film or television program. The works selected by the staff of ''Mad'' are typically from the cinema of the United States and the television in the United States, respectively. The authors parody the original titles with puns or other wordplay. Characters are caricatured, and lampooned with joke names. These articles typically cover five pages or more, and are presented as a sequential storyline with caricatures and word balloons. The opening page or two-page splash usually consists of the cast of the show introducing themselves directly to the reader; in some parodies, the writers sometimes attempt to circumvent this convention by presenting the characters without such direct exposition. (In 1973, the movie poster for ''The Long Goodbye'' was designed in the introductory style of a ''Mad'' parody, including the rectangular word balloons, and drawn by ''Mad'' regular Jack Davis.) Many parodies end with the abrupt deus ex machina appearance of outside characters or pop culture figures who are similar in nature to the film or TV series being parodied, or who comment satirically on the theme. For example, Dr. Phil arrives to counsel the ''Desperate Housewives'', or the cast of ''Sex and the City'' show up as the new hookers on ''Deadwood''. The parodies frequently make comedic use of the fourth wall, breaking character, and meta-references. Within an ostensibly self-contained storyline, the characters may refer to the technical aspects of filmmaking, the publicity, hype, or box office surrounding their project, their own past roles, any clichés being used, and so on. In 2013, Film Comment wrote, "While film studies majors gasp over the deconstruction of genre in the works of David Lynch and the meta-movies of Charlie Kaufman, 'the usual gang of idiots' over at MAD have been deconstructing, meta-narrativing, and postmodernizing motion pictures since the very first movie parody (Hah! Noon!) appeared in 1954"〔(Cahiers du CinéMAD | Film Comment )〕 (though ''Mads first movie parody was actually "Ping Pong"). Almost all of the parodies are of a single, particular film. However, ''Mad'' has occasionally done omnibus parodies of film series, such as the James Bond movies, the 1970s ''Planet of the Apes'' sequels, and the ''Twilight'' movies. It has also combined multiple mini-parodies of unrelated films into a single article. Several actors and directors have said that they regarded ridicule by ''Mad'' as an indication of major success in their careers. == Overview == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of film spoofs in Mad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
