Mad (stylized as MAD) is an American animated sketch comedy television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation.[2] The series was based on Mad magazine, where each episode is a collection of short animated parodies of television shows, films, video games, celebrities, and other media, using various types of animation (CGI, claymation, stop motion, photoshopped imagery, etc.) instead of the usual animation style that Warner Bros. Animation is known for. 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.[3] The series ended its three-year run on December 2, 2013.
