Some of you may remember earlier, when I reported that we shot a short with Mr. Show’s Paul F. Tompkins and Rich Sommer from Mad Men. Well, it comes out later next week (on the 30^th, save the date!), and let me tell you, sir, it is magnificent. In honor of Sketch of the Dead’s impending release, here are a few more pictures from the fateful day of production. Years from now, we’ll look back on these photos (in some deeply guarded archive, no doubt) and marvel at the humble beginnings of the short that would alter the world as we know it forever (Editor’s note: It probably wont).

The cast and proud director, Mike Rotman

Playing a zombie looks pretty relaxing

Production is as fun as it looks

Paul is about to drop some serious acting on your faces!

Look forward to Sketch of the Dead to be released later this year!

Anyway, love it or hate it, the Mad Men style is unmistakable, and it’s given rise to some great parodies. In honor of the finale of Season 3, here are some of our favorites.

Saturday Night Live

Jon Hamm‘s hosting gig on SNL culminated in this surprisingly cameo laden parody. And it managed to pack in some good laughs while throwing lots of winks at the core Mad Men fan base.

Milk Men

The gang at Sidecar Comedy made this just for us to help celebrate the end of the third season, a Mad Men filtered look at the slightly less glamourous world of milk delivery.

Mad Libs Men

CollegeHumor(dotcom!) came through with a typically witty, nostalgic twist.

Mad Men in 60 Seconds

Actually, the title of the LandlineTV version is fairly descriptive.

MA Men

AAAAAAND lastly, Funny Or Die gets a New Kid On The Block (and some comedy luminaries) to put a strong Boston twist on the proceedings.

So that’s what we got, gang. Pretty great, right? Did we miss any? We did? Well send us a link in comments!

So gather the entire fam’ around the screen and enjoy. Watch Grandpa get pumped, pull a Benjamin Button and shed a couple dozen years — because that’s what watching HOT, SLUTTY BABES can do to an old man!

Now what depraved mind made this series about an innocent girl who takes a cocktail waitress job at “Scenarios,” the sleaziest of nightclubs? None other than comedian and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon head writer, A.D. Miles. Check out more of his acting and directing handiwork in “Horrible People” and “Wainy Days.”

The “Hot Sluts” cast is pretty smokin’, especially with Alison Brie (Mad Men) in the lead, with her doe-eyes and natural endowments. And Sandy Martin (Napoleon Dynamite) adds some good ruthlessness as the club owner. In fact, all the characters would be perfectly at home in Switchblade Sisters or Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

So slut on and cheapen yourself with this awesome series. It’ll teach you (in a way) that despite the smutty, slutty odds… always follow your dreams!
