Mad (March 2012)
(Start at Seth MacFarlane's house with Seth MacFarlane... unprepared for all those obscure references.)
Seth MacFarlane: Ah, cartoons. They made me a billionaire, but I insist on living in an old beat-up country home in the woods... across from a baseball field.
(Garfield arrives)
Garfield: You know, comics are cartoons too, Seth.
Seth MacFarlane: Garfield?
Garfield: In the olden days, comics used to be called the "funny pages," only read them in the newspaper, and they weren't really funny.
(A bunch of comic strip stars arrive.)
Seth MacFarlane: Wow! Look at those obscure references! I don't even know who half of you are!
Garfield: That's the point, Seth MacFarlane! You need to help Hollywood remember who we are! If you pitch them, they will come!
(Title card: Garfield of Dreams)
(Scene cuts to Seth and the comic stars in the baseball field.)
Seth MacFarlane: So why are you guys living on a baseball diamond?
Garfield: I don't know. The whole pitch analogy, baseball, showbiz, seemed like it worked.
Seth MacFarlane: And why me?
Dagwood: Because you're the only one who can get people to care about us again! People will watch anything you make! Seriously, anything.
Seth MacFarlane: I'll tell you what. We'll bring Hollywood here and show them how entertaining you all are.
(Doonesbury appears)
Doonesbury: Hooray!
Seth MacFarlane: Not you, Doonesbury! Uh, I said "entertaining."
Doonesbury: Awwww...
(Doonesbery returns to the cornfield and scene cuts to Seth and Steven)
Seth MacFarlane: Spielberg, have I got a pitch for you! A cat who hates Mondays!
Steven Spielberg: Ha! That's funnier than the alien who likes peanut butter candy! Count me in.
(Scene cuts to Will Smith)
Seth MacFarlane: Will, what do you say about a bald kid who can't kick a football?
Will Smith: If he's got no hair to whip back and forth, I'll adopt him right now.
(Will throws Jaden and Willow away and scene cuts to Drew Barrymore)
Seth MacFarlane: Drew, I've got a dog named Marmaduke, and he, uh... What does he do? (Opens comic book) Huh, doesn't make sense really. Pretty weird. He ate a kid in this one. Wow, oh, ok, I got it! He thinks he's people!
Drew Barrymore: That's genius! Where can I meet him?
Seth MacFarlane: On a baseball field... don't ask... in front of my house!
(Scene cuts to a party in the baseball field)
Garfield: Seth, this party is better than lasagna. Look how excited they all are.
Hägar the Horrible: Peter Jackson! I'm a big fan.
Peter Jackson: Thanks... Hay-gaar.
Hägar the Horrible: Eh, it's Hägar the Horrible.
Peter Jackson: Well, i Iike your look, Hägar. I might be able to do something with ya.
(Scene cuts to Hägar in Lord of the Rings)
Hägar the Horrible: One viking to rule them all!
Tom Cruise: What do you do, kid?
Dennis the Menace: I'm Dennis the Menace. I menace Mr. Wilson.
Tom Cruise: Hmm.. Do I hear Menace: Impossible?
(A scene from "Menace: Impossible" plays)
Loretta Lockhorn: Get it? We're the Lockhorns. The joke is we hate each other.
Brad Pitt: Like Mr. and Mrs. Smith!
Angelina Jolie: The sequel.
(The Lockhorns fight in the trailer for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2", scene zooms out to reveal the theater and the comic strips at the theater gasps)
Steven Spielberg: So, what do ya think?
Loretta Lockhorn: That was horrible!
All the Hollywood stars: What?
Dick Tracy: You tried to make us hip by pandering to your audience.
B.C.: We didn't need to be reinvented, just reintroduced.
The Wizard of Id: Hollywood ruins everything. GET THEM!!
(They all go berserk on all except Peter Jackson.)
(Will Smith kicks Charlie Brown)
(Marmaduke chases Seth)
Seth MacFarlane: (wakes up) Ahhh! Aw, Phew! it was just a dream! Well, that's why I say let the past stay where it is. Always come up something original. (Laughs) A annoying dad, a screwed up family, and a talking animal... No, alien... No, animal. (Laughs) Yep, original.
