[DannyBoy98tv]

Is there a part two

[monkface]

I saw this when it was on originally!

[MySTINKYBeanZ]

I use to love the old mad mags but all the new ones just arent the same and they dont make that many

[djbphoto]

i use to love Mad Magazine so much. Many a times at the grocery store magazine section reading mad. Wow. What a fun time.

[cristianrockerchick]

2 dislikes, they must be from two little down kids who have never seen good cartoons..tsk tsk tsk

[SpontaneousJunk]

this is better that what is in the magazine to day

[RetroToledo]

@SpontaneousJunk I miss what the magazine use to be when it was still B&W inside with no ads (besides the phony ones).

[KeybladeKorney]

Zu meinem 18. hochgeladen. Gutes Zeug

[DANNYKRC]

[SuperMacaco98]

[Verbeke7]

[sethf2009]

[pistache7]

[TheTurbogus]

Thanks for posting this, I was an avid reader from the '60's through the '70's

[snakeeyes5100]

i bought mad magazine last saturday, and the 2010 Mad is better than this version from 1980 or whatever, but i like Mad!

[MikeMiller48]

They should make a MAD movie!

[RetroToledo]

@MikeMiller48 They tried but it failed.

[RetroToledo]

@MikeMiller48 Bothering to add further, the movie that was made was called "Up The Academy", but was pretty much a cash grab at what Animal House did for National Lampoon.

[hesteaeble]

Hehe Mad is mocking big corporations! :D

[RetroToledo]

@hesteaeble And that was so normal back then.

[fromthesidelines]

The Cartoon Network quarter-hour version of "MAD" is closer to the original spirit of the magazine (that is, whatever it's supposed to be these days) than "MAD TV" [a cross between "flashes" of the magazine and a raunchier version of "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE"].

[fromthesidelines]

I haven't read anything about Timex being a potential sponsor, 'heine'. I DO know, however, that portions of "The Godfather" parody were seen on a weekly syndicated 1977-'78 magazine series, "SPECIAL EDITION", hosted by Barbara Feldon...and were the ONLY segments of this entire special to be seen on TV.

[MiniKirk]

This. Is. Amazing. It's like everything that got me to love Mad Magazine, but in a snazzy retro package.

[mpeirson]

thankyou for uploading this

[fromthesidelines]

This was supposed to have appeared as an ABC special in the fall of 1973 (and TV GUIDE confirmed that in their Fall Preview issue that September), but there were complaints from several prospective advertisers about the way MAD parodied certain products, and several segments were deemed "unacceptable" by the network [back then, what MAD could satirize in a magazine you really couldn't do on network TV], so ABC finally decided it wasn't worth it, and cancelled their commitment to show it.

[heine71]

@fromthesidelines And was Timex planned to sponsor this MAD Special?

[BoogsterSU2]

@fromthesidelines Until then, today it's appropriate for Cartoon Network to remake it.

[RetroToledo]

@BoogsterSU2 Well that's just it, it's a far different world these days than it was 40 years ago.

[beatlesopusnintendo]

i hope the new show on cartoon network will be as good or better than this

[alonsitin]

magnifique



[voltronsky]

pretty cool rareness, the mad tv show from the 90s sucks balls compared to this.

[legoguy151]

lol i love mad

[ToxikAssault]

I love Mad magazine and I've been reading them since I was a litte kid. Haven't read the newer ones yet tough. Only from 70's to 90's -issues.

[beatlesopusnintendo]

or don martin or george woodbridges'

[beatlesopusnintendo]

i thought i'd never be able to see mort drucker's drawings in animation

[Ultrasecond]

Surprisingly well-done and perfectly captures Mad's humor from that era.

[doubleas2380]

Thanks alot for posting these suspekt29!

[thejobloshow]

Win. MAD was at its peak around the late 60s - early 70s.
