Humor at its Finest...So, who reads MAD magazine? Anyone else actually heard of it? I think it's amazing.

I usually only go to the page fold on the back cover. The humour in it is a bit.. well.. stupid.

You like polls, huh?

Tonight, yes.
Yeah, but it's GOOD humor, albeit a bit skewed.

Humiliatingly, I had a subscription when I was 12. 
It's good, not-very-clean fun. Guilty pleasure bathroom reading.

Exactly. I'm so happy my folks let me have it.

I think that the humor in MAD is kind of.... not humorous.

Aw, come on! A fellow RHPS fan ought to like MAD, too.

It used to be funny. Now, all the parodies of things are the same. "Hey, let's make his name into something that means stupid or something that means crappy! Genius!".
In fact, all of it is the same: stupid and crappy.

I used to have a subscription when I was much younger, but I haven't read it regularly since about 1992.

I'm neither republican nor amused by this magazine. Equal representation in the poll, please.

I didn't vote, b/c I certainly wasn't going to pick the 2nd option, but I couldn't honestly pick the 1st, as I've never read one.
Does it have anything to do with MAD TV? (it probably doesn't and someone's going to cringe and be like "That's like asking if Shirley Temple was named after a Synagogue!")

Same here, only I quit subscription in the late-eighties. Well, my parents did, authorized by me, of course. 
I loved it back then and still have all the issues in a box, dumped somewhere in the basement, along with my old The Barricade newsletters, hehe.

Mad MagazineI used to like Mad Magazine when I was about 12, more for things like "Spy vs Spy" - although I enjoyed some of the film and TV parodies a great deal. I haven't picked one up in years. I have no idea what they're like today, whether they are better or worse, or whether they'd just be something I'll have outgrown.

Um, any reason why you're reviving all these topics?
