Mad Magazine:
Founded in 1952, Mad is a humor magazine that has had its dedicated readers laughing for over 50 years. This publication is the leading of its kind in offering satirical content on all aspects of the American public, in areas such as popular culture, entertainment, prominent figures, and politics. You can recognize Mad by its fictional mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, which is most often the central image of the magazine’s cover page. Every issue is formatted into several reappearing departments that include hysterical TV and movie parodies, as well as unforgettable freeform-written articles. Now published in color and in over 20 countries, Mad magazine has also extended its brand into different media including stage shows, board games, and television. Graydon Carter, a revered American journalist and author, has described Mad magazine as “ever ready to pounce on the illogical, hypocritical, self-serious and ludicrous.”

There is absolutely no magazine out there that offers the hilarious satires and parodies on today's movies, books, television, and politics quite like Mad has for 50 years. This magazine's humor is just on the cusp of ridiculousness, but is so valid and pertinent that you just have to laugh at the over-the-top content; think "Scary Movie" in a magazine form.

Wow, I've been reading this classic magazine ever since I was a kid. Mad is one of very few magazines that has upheld its original intent over the course of several decades. I suppose it has evolved in some ways, but Mad continues to deliver that great biting satire and parody that has defined it as a unique source of entertainment. When Mad arrives in my mailbox, I can't wait to curl up in a comfy chair and read it cover to cover, laughing my way through each article and all of the outrageous graphics. This magazine is like Jon Stewart or Colbert in a more extreme, visual form. I feel like I am with people who understand my cynical and complex views of the world when I am reading Mad. To me, nothing is better than taking what politicians, campaigns and the media set out to do (deceive) and turning them all on their heads! Not sure what I would do without releasing my frustrations through this fantastic read.

A classic! I remember reading MAD when I was a little kid and it has only gotten better with age. The parodies of recent events and famous people keep me in stitches, and the artwork is dead on. And the Spy vs. Spy series provides many moments of enjoyment and laughter.
