From the pages of the Mad Magazine Super Special Winter 1981 comes cartographer Sergio Aragonés and the Mad Map of the U.S.A. What do I bring to this video? Spurious facts and embarrassing commentary from a Canadian perspective.

This channel is criminally under appreciated! Come all ye lovers of humor and art!!! Join in the appreciation of one of the greatest treasures of the last 80 years! Just think, one day you'll have a 100,000 subs! Great work, as usual. The detail insets you include are really wonderful. I have the map, but didn't konw where it came from!!! I was 9 in 1981, so Mad wasn't on my radar quite yet.

I still have my original map from back in 1980. :) I laminated it and have it hanging up on my wall.

That’s smart! I’ve got several large framed things on my walls, but maybe lamination is a good way to go. Good idea. 😀

You got a remarkable 98 out of 100 American facts correct! Excellent! It was fun seeing that map upclose. I've been aware of it, but I've never seen anything bigger than a thumbnail photo of it before.

Ha ha! I laughed out loud when I read that one! My wife wants to know what the two facts are that i I got wrong. 😉

Awesomely fun video, as usual! Thanks for this one, Darren. Super Cool! Never knew about this Sergio masterpiece. Couple of fun facts for you, my friend. Abraham Lincoln was born and raised in Kentucky, but he did settle in Illinois with his wife, and raised his four children there. Sadly, only one of his children lived to adulthood. The lady that sowed the first American flag (Historical Legend, not fact) was Betsy Ross. Love your channel, sir! Keep up the great fun work!! Oh, and I think i saw a farmer on that map doing some mulching!!

Hey John! Thanks for setting me straight on some of my woefully inaccurate history! I’m glad it seems to be received with the good natured humour of an oblivious Canadian, as I hoped. 😀 And I’m glad you were able to make a Groo connection! Mulch on!

I looked up "potrzebie" and apparently it's like a running gag word from Mad Magazine.

@GrooTube Жыл бұрын

Yup. That’s the one “inside” MAD joke I recognize. Apparently it’s a Polish word and it sounded funny enough for the writers to include. 😀 But what do I know?
