''{{w|Mad (TV series)|Mad}}'' is a TV series by {{w|Warner Bros.}} with short animated parodies of pop culture. ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' is the subject of one skit, titled ''Pikmin Pest B Gone''.{{cite youtube|9ELMFSYwr-A|of the ''Pikmin Pest B Gone'' skit}} It spoofs the typical TV {{w|infomercial}}s, and in it, a farmer is distressed about his crops being constantly attacked. The narrator suggests the use of a product called "Pikmin Pest B Gone", which is essentially Captain Olimar on the S.S. Dolphin and a group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] along with an [[Onion]]. The narrator explains how the shipment may take 3 to 5 light-years to arrive, referencing the distance between [[Hocotate]] and Earth, and how the Pikmin can attack crop pests and grow in number after [[carry|bringing back]] their bodies. The rate at which the Pikmin grow leaves the farmer worried about a new infestation – the Pikmin themselves. The narrator announces that there's a side-product called "Pikmin Pikmin B Gone", which is basically Olimar releasing [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]s from the S.S. Dolphin to bring down the Pikmin population. Now that the farmer is faced with an infestation of Bulborbs, the narrator suggests using "Pikmin B Gone B Gone". This product takes on the form of a blue S.S. Dolphin, but before he can explain what this is, the farmer decides it is best to just get rid of Olimar instead. He then grabs the Hocotatian and kicks him away.
