What happens

Mad (stylized as MAD) is an American animated sketch comedy television series developed by Kevin Shinick for Cartoon Network. The series was based on Mad magazine and presented each episode as a collection of short animated parodies of television shows, films, video games, and celebrities, along with additional sketches. Unlike traditional Warner Bros. Animation productions, the show used a mix of animation styles, including computer animation, claymation, stop motion and photoshopped imagery. The series premiered on the evening of September 6, 2010, on Cartoon Network at 8:30 P.M., right after the series premiere of Regular Show. The series ended its three-year run on December 2, 2013.
