Here's The New Jan/Feb 2021 "What The Heck Is It?" Gadget!

Do you know 'what the heck 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.) The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please make 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. You'll be playing for the April 2021 issue of MAD, produced by the now, tiny LA MAD staff.

Remember cute or clever wrong answers can win too! Please be sure to put " WTHII" in the subject line so we can pick it out quickly. Good luck!

E-mail your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com by midnight (EST) Feb 28th 2021. 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 2021, 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 addresses. Please don't answer on this website; it won't count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US can have a 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them. Again, sign your entry with something - initials, first name, last name, full name, fake name, screen name, something or it won't count. We cut & paste the answers in a long list, so we need a name attached to it. Once again entries go to: gizwizbiz@gmail.com

Winners of the Nov/Dec game with the right answers.

There were just three winners, but they all knew what that gadget was designed for! Here are those winners:

That is a holder for dripping utensils and it clips to the edge of a pot. Judging by the little nubs on it I am guessing it is French :) DrBob

Cute, Clever, and 'It Might Be That' Answers That Won.

Since there were only three winners with the correct answer, we are giving away 15 autographed copies of MAD (instead of 12) to those with cute, clever, weird, 'could be' answers.

The most given answer was like the first one below. There were about 20 similar answers, so we picked out one at random:

The object is obviously a prosthetic claw for disabled crabs. Greg

It's a double beer bottle opener. For when you want to open 2 brews at the same time. Bryon J. Hammer

A clip that goes on a bicycle to hold grocery bags. Mary Geisler

It is a double cooking tong for when are cooking complicated food. S.W, Marston

It's a pair of tongs from the Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom. Deborah A Stressner

Training claws for pre-teen crabs. Jason G.

A shower rod cell phone holder! Shawn Craycraft

Attachment for your clothes closet rod to hang other things. Bill Chambers

Chopsticks for hot dogs, of course! Blintze

Twist off Bottle cap opener. Phil

Tooth Extractor for the new version of the “Operation Game”. Jeffrey Slomovitz

A drink holder: clips onto sturdy plates to hold your drink in stemware or a long-necked bottle, so you can walk around the party. Ralph Osinski

My guess is that this is handcuffs for crabs. Dare I saw claw cuffs. Ben from Omaha

It's a recipe card holder you clip near your work area. Place recipe card vertically in the slot. Phillip

This is used for picking up a sausage out of the deep fryer. Marty

WINNERS (Who live in the U.S.) get the February 2021 issue of MAD. Even though MAD moved to LA in December 2017 I'm continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. I pay the postage so winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses only. If you win and live in the US, 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'd rather have one of those 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman pictures, instead of February MAD, put "SEND ALFRED PIC NOT MAD" in the subject line. Soon, they will be no more of those either. The remaining Alfred E pics were shipped to MAD in LA. If you won more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD. If you live anywhere outside of the US email me with WINNER in the subject line and I'll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email it 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.)
