Of all the competition, only the National Lampoon ever threatened Mad's hegemony as America's top humor magazine, in the early-to-mid-1970s.

Mad's parody was called " How-Are-Ya Five-O ", with the characters renamed Steve " McGarrish " and " Dummy " Williams.

:" I learned to be a movie critic by reading Mad magazine ... Mad's parodies made me aware of the machine inside the skin — of the way a movie might look original on the outside, while inside it was just recycling the same old dumb formulas.

With the exception of the first three song tracks, as well as the tracks " Mad's theme " and " Penny's theme ", all the music on this album is background scores for the TV series.

He was later replaced by a mascot named Huckleberry Fink, whose design was similar to that of Mad's Alfred E. Neuman, and whose motto, instead of Neuman's " What, me worry?

In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers ( see Alfred E. Neuman ).

His popularity and prominence was such that the magazine promoted Martin as " Mad's Maddest Artist.

According to Frank Jacobs's biography The Mad World of William M. Gaines, Mad's parodies of real advertisements generated so much attention that Mad publisher William Gaines received requests from the promotional departments of many real products, asking Mad to run parodies of their advertisements.

Mad magazine had published a special edition titled More Trash from Mad No. 4, which featured 25 parody lyrics to existing songs, including Irving Berlin's " A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody " ( Mad's version was " Louella Schwartz Describes Her Malady ").

AA's name derived from its first book, informally called " The Big Book ", originally titled Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism

Informally known as " The Big Book " ( with its first 164 pages virtually unchanged since the 1939 edition ), it suggests a twelve-step program in which members admit that they are powerless over alcohol and need help from a " higher power "; seek guidance and strength through prayer and meditation from God or Higher Power of their own understanding ; take a moral inventory with care to include resentments ; list and become ready to remove character defects ; list and make amends to those harmed, and then try to help other alcoholics recover.

Eventually he gained formal adoption and inclusion of the Twelve Traditions in all future editions of the Big Book.

The Big Book ( from Alcoholics Anonymous ) states that once a person is an alcoholic, they are always an alcoholic, but does not define what is meant by the term " alcoholic " in this context.

The magazine Book ranked Big Brother No. 59 on its 100 Best Characters in Fiction Since 1900 list.
