When MAD was on, it was ON.
A few days ago on FR, there was a post on the play and movie "Grease." I posted this which I remembered from my childhood...in one panel, MAD cut the whole storyline down to its pernicious essence in a manner that would likely get them torched nowadays:

I cannot believe I found that funny. It’s the kind of thing that would have annoyed the hell out of my parents.

As I tell my friends who reminisce about the comic books of their past I spent my childhood reading commentary on popular culture and politics along with international espionage. There are still some movies that I never saw and only know of from their Mad magazine version.
I'll have to drop by my father's house and see if my bag full of them are still in his basement.
$5.99? Not cheap!

As a kid, I read it often cover-to-cover in the Fifties and Sixties. It was good fun.

Back in the mid ‘60s for some odd reason I found Don Martin sound effects were fun to vocalize. My sisters still think I’m weird because of it... I was only 10... gimme a break!

I mainly read MAD in the 60's and 70's. Loved the movie parodies with Mort Drucker's brilliant art. Among my favorites were Mad Visits John Wayde on the set of "At the Alamo", Flawrence of Arabia (with "Flawrence" dancing on top of one of the captured trains singing "I Feel Pretty"), Where Vultures Fare, et al.

You cant satirize our society. It just gives the left ideas. The left IS a satire of what our society used to be.

Brilliant!
I remember being impatient with the wordy dialogue and going straight to the Don Martin and Sergio Aragones cartoons.
Eventually I’d get to the whole magazine before the next issue came out, though.

It's hilarious that the DNC talking point that the country is divided as never before always winds up in stories like this, or pretty much any story. Price of anchovies? The country is led by the most divisive figure in human history. Apparently having a memory of the Tet Offensive, and LBJ, and the 1968 primary season (included the RFK assassination by an Arab terrorist), and Pat Paulsen's 'campaign' for POTUS, and in 1972, MAD Magazine's "Alfred e neuman with brain of albumin will win just like Truman did from Missouri"... all history is something that was just dreamed up by a bunch of white sexist male racist homophobes. Oh wow, that quote actually turns up in a Google search -- I was trying to check the date as a long shot.
