That was where I learned to identify cockroaches. I had never seen one irl until I was 17. Caught a glimpse and could identify it immediately due to the illustrations of them in MAD.

agree! it's an intelligent sense of humor that doesn't dumb things down. not saying one is better since I've liked both at times, but I felt "cracked" was more the dumb, gross out, version of MAD. kinda like Monty Python and Mel Brooks type movies vs American Pie and Scary Movie types.

I started reading it in 1961-2 area. Got married in 1975 and I would read MAD and fall out of the chair laughing, and my wife thought I was crazy. She really never got the humor. It was the same with the movie Airplane in 1980. I couldn't stop laughing, and she still thought I was crazy (MAD). I am 71 now and still like that kind of humor...

Of the thousands of 60 Minutes reports I have seen over the years, this one remains IMO the funniest. I remember seeing it when it first aired in 1987. The perfect tribute to the magazine which will go out of business soon and to the late Morley Safer, one of the most celebrated broadcast journalists in television history.

I remember seeing this 60 minutes when it first aired on a Sunday night. I read MAD at the time and was one of those younger people at the time that this interview touched upon. I remember the people that I saw ,, the creators of MAD were something a bit foreign to me. First and foremost, True blue New Yorkers and second a bit goofy but also business like which I never thought about that part of these people,, All I thought was crazy people ,, reflecting the magazine. Grown up now (old) I listened to what they were say'n and it's sounds rite on,, Must have been a blast working at MAD back in the day. 60 minutes - you once had integrity,, Now ,you and most of the news outlets to me are evil.

@Jimvanhise4 ай бұрын
Not everyone who grew up with MAD appreciated what it became. In the 1970s when National Lampoon became the new humor magazine on the block, they slammed MAD for becoming safe and timorous and not trying to be edgy any more. By 1987 many people felt that way about the magazine, like it was coasting on its past success without expanding on it. Basically people started to feel like they'd outgrown it. Even now collectors feel the 1950s and 1960s issues are the best.
