Oh, yeah! Read it all the time in my teens. So much good stuff I can't even start to remember it all...Spy vs Spy, the movie satires, Don Martin...
ReplyDeleteI loved MAD Magazine. Spy vs Spy was a favorite. Heck, everything was a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI read it for years and had a nearly-complete set of the paperbacks.
ReplyDeleteI loved it, especially the re-constituted book forms of it that were available back then. I also liked Cracked, but it wasn't usually quite as good as MAD. Spy-vs-Spy was one of my favorite parts. I also loved most of their movie parodies. Ones for movies like Apocalypse Now were priceless.
ReplyDeleteHumor just isn't the same as it was back then. Even if you didn't always agree with MAD's politics (they were definitely east coast), they generally did things in good taste. Too much "humor" these days is just plain mean spirited (Kimmel, Colbert, etc).

I still have a copy from when MAD ran a satire on, The Exorcist.
ReplyDeleteEverything about the mag was a delight. I especially liked the back inside cover.
