Printable Mad Libs is very popular among word games frequently played as fun party games for having fun and creating comedy. The game is especially popular with American children who are often in search of its printable copies so that they can always have ready made fun available with them in their bags.

Leonard Stern and Roger Price first invented the game in 1953 and later published it as a book in 1958, which is still in print by Price Stern Sloan that the two of them had confounded for the purpose.

Each page of the book or of the printable versions of the game has a short story on it, in which many of the key words comprising all parts of speech - nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs - are replaced with blanks specified by what part of speech they come from.

One of the players whose turn it is asks others to fill the blanks without mentioning the context in which the word denoted by the blank is to be used. You can easily imagine the kind of nonsensical comedy that the fillings in the blanks are going to create when read with them filled in the blanks in continuity as a story.
