Pros: immature, satirical comics. A funny break away from the world.
Cons: costly in relation to time it takes to read.
Summary: 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, ...

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

Pros: Biting satire, funny movie spoofs and no ads until recently
Cons: MAD SOLD OUT after almost 50 years of no ads
Summary: I grew up reading copies of MAD my brothers bought and 1960s and 1970s issues at my grandparent's house and I was addicted immediately. Their takes on politics and life in general were really something I could relate to and laugh at.

Pros: Are prostitutes
Cons: Are convicts
Summary: I stopped buying and reading MAD magazine right around the age of 12. I put down the pre-teen bible in favor of other, more enlightening mags. Like porn, sports illustrated (swimsuit editions only), thrasher and, well, porn. I never really paid any...

Summary: Mad magazine is funny and every issue gets funnier as time goes on. The celebrity bashing is hilarious, so funny you feel sorry for those celebrity's. The mad fold in is lame sometimes but I could not do any better. When ever you feel down or if you are...

Pros: Just as funny as ever
Cons: The classic look is gone
Summary: Like a fine wine, MAD just gets better with age. Over the years MAD has helped shape our culture with it's irreverent brand of humor, poking fun at everything and anything popular or timely, and at itself most of all. For almost 50 years it's been the...

Pros: Wicked, edgy brand of humor
Cons: Not long enough
Summary: I haven't written a lot of opinions, and the ones I have written don't get read by a lot of people. But the people who do read my opinions give them high marks, and it's time to pay my respects to the regular band of idiots at Mad magazine who have had a...

Pros: still really funny. has some insightful things to say.
Cons: no longer 35 cents cheap. humor not as sharp as once
Summary: I loved Mad Magazine in my junior high school years. Back then the cover said it was "35 cents - cheap!" It's more than that now. Buying it at the news-stand will now run you about $30 a year. Before I left for Israel, I was cleaning out several boxes of...
