Loved MAD mag. Couldn’t wait for the next issue. As I look back, it was the “Blazing Saddles” of childish adult humor. Made me feel so grown up to poke sophisticated-slapstick fun at cultural trends.

For sure!

stupid Q: "Say, are you guys twins?"

snappy A: "No, we're identical strangers."

My life’s motto; well, maybe, sort of.

MAD was a great humor magazine until they went β€œWoke”.

Great satire. One has to have some amount of smarts. to understand most of it.
Two of my favorite articles was the parody of West Side Story, replacing Jets and Sharks with the United States and Russia...with political lyrics replacing the plays original text of the songs.
The second was the fake IKEA catalog entitled IKRAPPA.Having being greatly disappointed of the prices and quality of IKEA merchandise, the catalog had me laughing in tears.

One of those snappy answers was this:

Q (wife to husband):Is it raining?

A (husband to wife):No, I took a shower with my clothes on...

MAD was funny...
