| Professional Review: |
| Now in color and celebrating its 50th idiotic year, MAD is America's foremost magazine of biting social parody, political humor and world class stupidity. Only in MAD will you find outrageous movie and TV spoofs, the fiendishly absurd adventures of Spy vs. Spy and Al Jaffee's legendary Fold-In! |

Written on May 12, 2007 Summary: Teacher for Mad I have bought this mag for years for my nephews in order to motivate them to read, and it does that. Practice is practice, and makes better readers. I believe that this is the only reading material that compels them to put down the remote, or to step away from the video games... I highly recommend this for teen boy reading. Of course, some of the material is odd to "old people", but they love that, and they do "get" that it's humor.  Written on April 24, 2007 Summary: It's worth the wait but still... It takes toooooo long for the subscription to arrive its destination! People down there should work better in this matter 'cause its very frustrating to be anticipating your juicy mags and wait almost three months to get your hands on them. Never the less Mad Mag is a brilliant humor classic and yes... its worth the wait.  Written on February 8, 2007 Summary: Order from somewhere else! I placed my order with Amazon 12 weeks ago. The magazine "customer service" group claims I'll get my first issue in about 5 weeks for a total of 17 weeks of waiting. Waiting four months for a magazine order to be fulfilled is a bit much.  Written on November 15, 2006 Summary: This is a pathetic shell of it's former self I am no conservative fundamentalist. I'm all for new things. However, this magazine is just a juvenile time-killer. The original MAD up through the 90's was something of substance. There is about 20% of the current content that is still on par with that tradition. Mad Magazine under Bill Gaines was the exception to the traditionally accepted magazine economy based on advertising. MAD refused to accept any advertising whatsoever until a few years after Gaines' death. Then the new corporate editors allowed ads and went to full color. Ads are not only annoying, but show that the focus of the magazine has changed. We won't be seeing any truly effective, biting satire of any of their sponsors, I'll tell you that. Is the new magazine worthless? No. It still has some positive qualities, but it is no longer innovative, but is a shell of the former publication. They have Alfred E. and Spy vs Spy and other traditions, but they aren't clever anymore, just attempts to SEEM as though they are the same. I hope somewhere out there the people inspired by the original magazine's model are making excellent real satire in other names. I'd suggest searching them out and ignoring this junk. Probably the closest we have today to the real MAD magazine is The Onion.  Written on August 19, 2006 Summary: Still MAD after all these years.... I read MAD Magazine as a kid back in the '60's and '70's, and have always appreciated the fact that although the humor is for the most part sophmoric, many of the jokes and parodies require that you actually understand the politics/literature/history/cultural reference that's being lampooned. I've outgrown the magazine (well, pretty much), but my teenage nephews (and their fathers) are always glad to see their gift subscriptions arrive in the mail. I'll find them with their heads together, reading lines to each other and snickering -- feels like the old days! |
