Mad #131

In "Boredom-12," a satirical take on the cop drama "Adam-12," two L.A. officers cruise their beat with zero interest in actual crime—unless it involves an attractive woman. The humor lies in their absurd priorities, as they zip past emergencies to chase down flirtations, all set in the deadpan style of a mock-serious police procedural.

In "Spy vs. Spy," the White Spy sets up a club on top of a pole, only for the Black Spy to punch him into it—sending the pole crashing down and the club swinging right into the Black Spy’s jaw.

In "Hoo-Boy, Columbus," a well-meaning middle-class Jewish man navigates the minefield of dating an upper-class Jewish woman, only to face the cold shoulder from her family—whose idea of romance includes a full set of silverware and a disdain for casual attire. This sharp, satirical take on class and tradition, told with the wit and timing of a classic Mad parody, turns a simple date into a hilarious clash of values and expectations.
