MAD Magazine

Pros: Satire, parody, surprisingly on the mark

Cons: Not everybody has a good sense of humor

The Bottom Line: Mad Magazine is the longest-lived parody magazine that satirizes all aspects of life. Well worth your time if you enjoy a good laugh.

Review: Humor in a Jugular Vein: Mad Magazine Everything you need to know can be found within the pages of Mad magazine, be it news, media, politics, the latest fad; chances are Mad has covered it. Global warming? Yep, the latest issue covers ...

Pros: immature, satirical comics. A funny break away from the world.

Cons: costly in relation to time it takes to read.

The Bottom Line: If you love gory, gross out humor, MAD will provide it! If you purchase frequently it is much cheaper to subscribe

Review: MAD Magazine Tuesday afternoon I woke up from having surgery. I was in my plain sterile hospital room awaiting a visit from my husband. He eventually showed up, and he was my hero that day. He came with flowers, mini chocolate bars, and lo and behold, ...

Pros: The humor, the satire, the parodies, the artwork, the intelligence.

Cons: Some segments not as good as others, ads, and some issues are too short.

The Bottom Line: Easily one of the best magazines of all-time and a true comedic landmark.

Review: Mad Magazine is probably one of the longest-running magazines ever (debuting way back in 1952). The magazine has been extremely successful with a large and dedicated fanbase, merchandise aplenty (toys, t-shirts, compilations, video games, etc. and ...

Pros: Since National Lampoon folded, there's no better social satire mag around.

Cons: Silly adults, Mad is for kids!

The Bottom Line: Mad is not kid stuff. It's got mordant wit and biting satire, and you should go buy it right now.

Review: Mad is the only magazine I enjoyed as a child that I still enjoy as an adult - with the possible exc ...

Pros: funny

Cons: only 100 pages

Review: I love this magazine. I have been reading it since I was a kid, and I still enjoy it. I strongly believe that I developed my warped sense of humor from years of reading. This magazine is for people who don't take life too seriously, so if you're anal...

Pros: Funny parodies, great artwork, in-your-face humor

Cons: Don Martin, Dave Berg, Bill Gaines, all dead and gone. Plus Mad now has ads.

The Bottom Line: I'd rather spend eternity talking on the phone with telemarketers than cancel my subscription to MAD

Review: "Who is that slithering blob... drawing nearer... and nearer...?" "It's Melvin!" These were the words of the cover on the very first Mad Magazine (formerly titled 'Tales Calculated To Drive You Mad). Back in the early 50s, however, Mad articles ...

Pros: Sophisticated humor and simple laughs come together

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A subscription to MAD is a must for all people with a sense of humor

Review: I've been a subscriber to MAD for just over two years, and I've thoroughly enjoyed every single issu ...

Pros: Funny, disgusting, deranged

Cons: Funny, Disgusting, Deranged (hehehe)

Review: I was walking through the magazine section at the grocery store the other day (it's a good way to get out of grocery shopping with the wife - stop and grab a magazine and fake interest until she walks away to finish the shopping and then you are free,...

Pros: Great buy, trip down memory lane

Cons: Sophomoric humor--but what else did you expect?

Review: This is a seven-CD set of every issue of Mad Magazine from the EC comic book format of 1952 through 1998, put out by Broderbund. I'm writing this review here because I can't find the product listed anywhere else--if it belongs somewhere else comment on...

Pros: Consistently funny humor, classic features mixed in with new favorites, Nuanced humor

Cons: Some jokes fall flat, Monroe is forgettible

Review: I'm sure everyone remembers their first issue of Mad Magazine. It was odd, uproariously funny, and immature enough for everyone. My first issue was when I was about twelves, when my mom bought me an issue to read at the orthopedic surgeon's office (I...
