Mad Men has now gained quite the cult following as it enters its fifth season on the air. In response to this massive amount of attention, CollegeHumor has made a video that imagines different outcomes for the black and white introduction to the show. The classic introduction displays the silhouette of leading man Don Draper falling from a high rise building. In some of the CollegeHumor versions though, Draper lands on a skateboard, splats on the pavement and even gets caught by Superman, which leads to a make out session. The Alternate Mad Men Intros are sure to have fans of the show giggling in enjoyment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Parody Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create parody videos for popular TV shows and movies to engage and entertain audiences. - **Alternative Storylines:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore alternative storylines and outcomes for established narratives to provide fresh and unexpected content. - **Cult Followings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cultivate dedicated fan bases around TV shows and movies to drive engagement and create new opportunities for content creators. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new forms of entertainment that challenge traditional storytelling methods and engage audiences in unique ways. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate humor and parody into advertising campaigns to capture attention and create memorable experiences for consumers. - **Digital Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize digital platforms to distribute and promote parody videos and alternative content, reaching a wide and diverse audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Menswear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Wholesome Kingpin Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorners-super-bowl.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Witty Advertising Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-referential-marketing.md) - [Spoof Sci-Fi Beer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-rebel-moon.md) - [Drug-Themed April Fool's Gags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin.md) - [Viral Intro Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introhook.md) - [Nostalgic Long-Form Infomercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-mobile-mintfomercial.md)
