Do you know what it is?

To play, come up with the right answer, or make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. We give away up to 18 autographed copies of MAD Magazine. (Up to 6 for the correct answer, up to 12 for cute, silly answers.) Some markings have been covered to not help you. 🙂

You’ll be playing for the April 2025 issue of MAD, produced by the new, tiny (it’s down to two people!) LA MAD staff. Remember cute or clever wrong answers have a better chance of winning! Please be sure to put ” WTHII” in the subject line of your email so we can pick it out quickly. The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please,  just one guess per entry. You must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it’s not signed, it’s not eligible. Email your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com  by midnight (EST) February 28, 2025. By entering you agree this is a game for fun and laughs.

Winning answers are published on this website the 1st or 2nd of March 2025, so come back to see if you won. Because like MAD, we’re really low budget here, we can only mail winning copies to United States & most Canada addresses. Please don’t answer on this website; it won’t count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US & Canada can have a now 40 year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them. Again, sign your entry with something or it won’t count.

Well, there were no correct answers, but it being New Year’s Day when we picked the winners, we decided to give MAD magazines to several people who mentioned it was some sort of cutter.

Actually, it’s designed as a way to make sandwiches that have a filling. Open the device, put in a slice of bread, add the filling and then another slice of bread.  Closing this gadgets cuts the bread into a circle and seals the edges to hold the filling inside. I bought this gadget on Amazon, but now it comes up. ‘No Longer Available’.

Those ‘winners’ are:

My guess is that this is used to cut bagels or fruit. Ben from Omaha

It’s a mini veggie slicer Skullman50

That’s a devices that opens up and cuts the top off your soft boiled egg. Carole Marciano. 

It is a device for cutting the foil seal on a wine bottle. Bryon J. Hammer.

One of the most given answers were something to do with a Minion. We picked three.

It is a sunglass for Kevin, the one eyed Minion. Roger S.

Looks like a Diving Helmet for Minions – Darn Kerner

Fozzie Bear halloween mask for a Minion! Beckee

More than Minion answers, were ‘bear’ answers. We picked four.

A portable black hole with cute bear ears. – Sean

Teddy-Bear-izer. Push the button, it puts your picture in the center and makes you a Teddy Bear! Ian Winkler 

Then, a lot of ‘helmet’ answers!

“A Space Helmet for Winnie the Pooh”. Jeff and Adam

Mickey Mouse’s old diving helmet. Don Raisor, Jr.

Other winners:

It is a stargate for fleas. Ceasar

WINNERS Who live in the U.S. & most of Canada get the February 2025 MAD issue! MAD moved to LA in December 2017 but I’m continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. Winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses & Canada. If you win and live in the US or Canada, email me your full name & address and put MAD WINNER in the subject so I can pick it out easily. I’ll autograph your MAD with your first name & my name unless you specify “Dick’s name only”. If you won this game more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD prize. If you live anywhere outside of the US & Canada email me with WINNER in the subject line and I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email a high res image to you. You can print it out & no one should know the difference. (I’ve done it quite a few times already and people say the photo looks great.)

Seems a lot of people knew what that gadget was, so we picked six at random!
