[MrScorpio]

2. Loved Mad

Great media satire

[david13]

3. Yes I do. I was just discussing this with my neighbor, as this is how we

are with each other.
Each trying to do the other in. Before the other gets the first.
With a healthy dose of feisted on one's own petard thrown into the mix.

4. Al Jaffee and his crazy inventions.

I loved Mad Magazine.

And I was in the Black Spy camp, BTW...

[Roon]

5. I grew up reading mad

and there were always mads at the cabin. Us kids and the grandparents used to read them over and over again.

You can get a CD of every mad magazine ever published. I would love to get my hands on that!

[Frank Cannon]

17. I have that DVD

It is one of my most prized possessions.

[Roon]

22. SWEET!

If I got a copy, I would probably be off line for a few days..lol..

[Oceansaway]

6. wow...Spy vs. Spy ...nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. Their "Summer Of 42" parody was one of their best

The "Hermie" character is in bed, under the covers, yelling and going "WHOOOOOOOOOOO" and in the next panel we see he's under there alone, with the "Dorothy" character saying "If you think THAT'S fun, just wait until I get in there WITH you!"

:rofl:

:toast:

[Frank Cannon]

18. I also remember the dialog in the drug store from that parody.

Hermie: "Well, um, I want to have a good time... but I want to be protected."
Clerk: "So... you want a chocolate soda in a clean glass?"

[RandomThoughts]

8. You don't want to know.

Although I think I have seen some 'special' Mad Tv Episodes.

9. The inside back cover that, if you folded it from top to bottom into a trifold...

.

...the text and picture would become a punchline for the original.

The folded text at the bottom says: The Last One.

10. Used to be brilliant

sucks now. And MadTV blew chunks.

It's sad really, considering the brilliance of the old days

[Frank Cannon]

19. They were bought by Time Warner and began running ads

That pretty much destroyed it, as Bill Gaines always knew it would.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Mad Magazine is a long-time fave of mine!

I always looked forward to the new issue coming out.

[The Midway Rebel]

12. Sergio Aragones

The best stuff was in the fine detail.

[MilesColtrane]

13. I have much love for Don Martin.

His artwork was always hilarious, and he had a knack for coming up with the most amazing onamonapias.

"Sizafitz" remains my favorite word depicting a cigarette being put out in someone's eye.

[av8rdave]

16. Don Martin was brilliant!

Who could forget Fester Bestertester?

[tilsammans]

14. Have y'all seen the NYT Al Jaffee interactive fold-in?

Check it out: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/03/28/arts/20080330_FOLD_IN_FEATURE.html

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

15. I have the book "The Complete Casebook" - all of the Spy v. Spy cartoons!!

[sarge43]

20. Superduperman!

Bat Boy and Rubin!
Flesh Garden!
Great Moments in Medicine: Presenting the Bill
Why I left the Army and Became A Civilian
The MAD Treasury of Unknown Poetry
And the classic: Ringo Starr and Blecch

[WinkyDink]

21. Ahem. Age 19, 1968, NYC, walked into MAD offices (Floor 13!), got autographs! Potrzebie! Squamish!

[Orsino]

23. I mainly remember Dave Berg looking at people...

...even though the jokes were rarely all that funny. Don Martin was weirder, and probably my favorite.

Then there were the TV/movie/musical parodies.

[kenmcbride85]

24. Hidden images!

The best part has got to have been the pictures which folded in on themselves to make a new image - whoever conceptualized and drew those was awesome.

[Arkansas Granny]

25. That was my favorite feature of the whole magazine.
