PARODY EXAMPLES Throughout the years (and decades), several stickers sets and ad print could be located, that parody the Garbage Pail Kids craze of the late 80's, often created to mimic the popular curved GPK header. Topps attempted to recreate their own fame with the Trash Can Trolls poking fun at the Norfin Trolls popularity in the early 90's with the same format. * GARBAGE PAIL ADULTS — MAD MAGAZINE In 1986, MAD magazine came out with the "Garbage Pail Issue" (No. 265, Sept. 1986) featuring a GPK of Alfred E. Neuman on the front cover and nine parody celebrities on the back cover called Garbage Pail Adults, by Will Elder and Harvey Kurtzman. An unknown company printed the cards on a plain white stock, measuring around 2 ¾ X 3 8/16 inches, which were included in a future issue of MAD. Besides the front and back cover, there is no GPK material within. An earlier issue of MAD magazine (No. 259, Dec. 1985, pgs 18+19), contained a 'Cabbage Patch Products' article and images, poking fun directly at Cabbage Patch Kids/Dolls, and not necessarily Garbage Pail Kids, since this artwork was most likely in development well before the OS1 release in mid-1985. * CRABBAGE PATCH KIDS! — SCHOLASTIC MANIAC MAG Although most likely published prior to the release of the GPK by Topps in mid-1985, The Scholastic Maniac Magazine had an issue that contained a page spread poking fun at Cabbage Patch Kids, calling them Crabbage Patch Dolls, Crabbage Patch Teenagers, and Crabbage Patch Grandparents. * GARBAGE DUMP POPSTARS — CRACKED MAGAZINE The date and issue unknown, Cracked magazine unabashedly also poked fun at GPK and celebrities, but only musicians, with a three-page spread (pgs 43—45), titled 'Garbage Dump PopStars'. Potentially coincidentally, the character name 'MAD DONNA' is the same as the GPK OS2 nomenclature. * GARBAGE AIL KID — CRACKED MAGAZINE In late 1987, Cracked magazine (Issue #232, Nov. 1987) also released a GPK parody piece, painted by artist Bob Fingerman, that simultaneously poked fun at CPK, GPK, and their own janitor mascot, Sylvester P. Smythe, a blatant mimicry of MAD's Alfred E. Neuman (and magazine, as a whole). NOTE: original artwork pictured. * The following GPK parody examples were marketed to younger children in the late 80's through vending machines, at fast food restuarants, and in department stores. Because of their limited releases and condition these sets are extremely hard to complete. Other similar sets not pictured can be found such as Dirty Rotten Kids and Garbage Patch Kids both not sold in vending machines. This list also includes some parodies found in print, poking fun at GPK and CPK. TRASH CAN TOTS * TRASH BRATS * TRASH CAN STARS * TRASH CAN KIDS — 1986 * The following examples of GPK parody had a more main-stream release, one fan-based set was only obtainable online, another set was only found at a fast food chain and hard to complete. These sets were mainly released in the 1990's and 2000's and were regular card size besides the skateboard stickers.
