  • MAD often did parodies of the poem.
    • "Clooney as the Bat" is about how Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer were ultimately outshined by the villains in Batman (1989), Batman Returns and Batman Forever. Batman & Robin is presented as George Clooney to succeed where Keaton and Kilmer failed, but "Clooney struck out like the rest." The parody also mentions how the first three movies were technically three strikes, but the narrator points out that this isn't a baseball game.
    • Another parody does this with The Death of Superman, positing that Superman "took a dive" against Doomsday due to other heroes overshadowing him and his movie sequels doing poorly.
    • Yet another parody does this with Howard Stern, but unlike most, the ending doesn't imply that he failed; instead, it says he made a show that's even grosser than his competition.
