Anyone who knows Mad Magazine knows Alfred E. Neumans famous quote(my review title),WOT,ME WORRY???
Alfred E. Neuman worries about nothing except making people laugh! And laugh out loud! he is the official mascot of Mad Magazine.
Mad Magazine has been around for almost(if not more than)50 years. Hard to believe that something has lasted this long and is still making people roll on the floor laughing.
Mad Magazine consists of movie and TV show parodies, with charicatures of the stars. What they do is stretch the actual storyline into an outrageously funny satire of the real thing.
Dave Berg also contributes his strange form of humor with his Lighter Side of.. cartoons. He makes fun of everything from the lighter side of birth to the lighter side of death and everything in between. For example, The Lighter Side of Blind dates was a good one as well as The Lighter side of building your own house.
You also get the ever funny Don Martin cartoons about a big lumox of a guy always getting into some mess or another.
Sergio adds to the magazine with his mini cartoons, scattered among the pages, usually set off in the corner of the page.
Then there's the ever popular Spy V Spy. The white spy and the black spy(NOT skintone, only by costume color). In Spy V Spy, the 2 inept spies are always trying to outsmart each other, only to wind up blowing themselves up or something just as dumb.
You can also go to the Letters to the editor page, where readers send in stupid questions and recieve even more stupid answers in response.
Once you read Mad Magazine, you're hooked. It's still funny after all these years.
Enjoy yourself, read an issue of Mad, and you'll be glad you did. =)
By the way, don't get lured in by the other magazine,''Cracked.'' It's not the same!
