Mad Magazine to cease publication

It was for the boomers. I imagine Sports Illustrated has like 4 years at most. These were based though.

Goofus>Galant

>TRUMP (OF COURSE)

I laughed.

Yes unironically

They even had those in high school library

everything is already a parody of itself so it's redundant

When their building gets destroyed and one of them says "I actually feel better" I always found that really funny for some reason

Such comfy illustrations. I can't remember if I used to keep mine.

weird, i was just thumbing through a new issue a couple weeks ago at a gas station

Where they still funny?

This. Why mock a clown world? Honk honk

>when you gotta go to the doctor
>but you get out of school early and they have highlights and I-Spy

>I-Spy
Absolutely based.

Mad's Fad and Sad

now that's the shit

Formerly Nit's

Yeah. It's still shitpost-y humor that isn't afraid to take swings at democrats and other libs and a lot of the visual gags are excellent.

Kinda sucks but at the same time, I haven't read Mad in 7 years. It was fun as a kid but everytime I saw it in newstands in the past 3 years it seemed to just be Trump jabs. Youth print is going to die before other publications, so this is a sign of the times. Still sad considering the it's legacy including Spy vs Spy, Sergio's guide and the late Dave Berg.

Its because New York satirists deserve unemployment, suffering and more.

i don't realize how genuinely well known outside of youtube/Yea Forums/internet in general they are a lot of the time.

Well, at the same time Noone was buying it so one can understand why they were going for easy sales like making fun of trump.

I fucking hated their movie parodies, they were the worst part of the rag. The B&W one's you'd get in the Mad Classic issues were fine and surprisingly held up, but every one 1990's onward was the same shit. Goofy names, actors being bored, no-one wants to be there, wrap the movie up, sex joke, more whacky names and plot holes, worse than cinema sins. Everything else in the magazine had its place and a laugh, but these terrible movie parodies are the real reason Mad died.

Yeah print is dead. They should just make a twitter or instagram where they shitpost some comics daily.

MAD hasn't sold for years. The vast majority of magazines are dying or dead already

>buying magazines past the year 2000

Why write for MAD when The Onion is more prestigious and even offers future writing career paths outside of just comedy writing?

I'm trying buddy but they aren't returning my emails. I'm stuck writing for the Hard Times over here!

I still deliver a bit of these in the mail. Never once delivered a MAD.

the fuck?
mad operated for years without advertisements on its sales alone
how do you fuck that up

>wheres waldo for plebs

They had a volatile audience of teenagers and this generation doesn't read.

Mad holds out the prospect of an easy living for slight effort by being so fucking repetitive.

>Trump (of course)
post some of their Trump jokes.

I miss puzzlemania

>cost-cutting
The real reason they are getting rid of it is racist caricatures like this Mad has been doing for decades.

it was just virtue signalling. and lack of creativity.

Based.

add MAD to the trump curse image

Comedy is racist.

I work in a library and these got borrowed a lot.
Shame.

In the early '80s, but not in the current year of our Lord. I flip through it at the grocery store occasionally. It's five ficking dollars now.

I only liked these for the part where they make something every issue. I can't remember anything specific.

MAD was Yea Forums for boomers.

Bastards!

>Trump
yeah I'm glad it's getting shuttered

like cracked did 15 years ago

Fuck these liberal rags that talk shit about The Don. Fucking hate them with a passion

MAD Magazine was hyper BASED and one of the best American institutions. My favorite thing about MAD is they never really cucked to the SJW faggotry, they attacked and made fun of everyone. I loved that. Sad to see them go, I had a subscription for over ten years. First thing I did when I left my parents house as a kid was get a subscription to MAD.

>part of a cost cutting initiative by AT&T
What the fuck costs do they need to cut with how much fucking revenue they bring in?

MAD never really obsessed on Trump. At least not more so than Obama who they fucked with relentlessly. I felt they were the one institution to resist SJW faggotry.

I'd lose my shit if someone did a Chad vs Virgin variant with Goofus and Gallant.

Six!

Trump Curse.

This is fucking terrible. I used to love Mad at the 90's / early 00's and if this is what it is today, good fucking riddance.

>tfw every magazine you used to read in the 90's/early 2000's is fucking dead

Normal people never did that anyway, nerd.

The final nail in MAD's coffin was when they switched to bi-monthly.

Fun people did.

They've been making jabs at Trump since the '70s, in addition to always making jabs at current politics. You trumptards have to make everything about you. You also expect, since the retard somehow made it into office, that suddenly all media should cease calling your dear leader bad names.

>where’s Waldo but with variety and riddles

My grandpa gave me a box of his mad magazines from the mid 90s. i read those religiously and always lost my shit even though I didnt get half the references as a kid

I used to have a subscription. I'd buy then every now and then after, but they stopped carrying it in the magazine aisle of the local grocery store so I never saw it

Bruh literally every issue of theirs for the past two years has had him on the cover, if that isn't creative bankruptcy I don't know what is.

Now if AT&T could just stop publishing DC Comics. Maybe at least fire Didio and the idiots running the shit show, give the books a hiatus before a proper reboot not created by the morons who have run these classic characters into the ground. I haven't bought a new DC book in years. Only buy old issues and trades from decades ago.

A cousin who does freelance writing ended up writing some stuff for Highlights including some Goofus and Gallant.

I did in the 80s. My cousin had stacks. I still wish I could roll up on a yard sale that used to sell boxes of them or even the coveted board game.

Good.

That's from Up the Academy. I havent seen that in about 30 years.

>tfw actually have that board game at home after finding it in great condition for $15 at an antique store
I should really play it this weekend in the Usual Gang of Idiots' honor.

That brings back a lot of memories. Last time I found it was in a Seattle goodwill in 1993.

We need more shitpost board games instead of all these weak swear word card games millenials are obsessed with.

Your a poison on the world.
Capitalism has increased quality of life for everyone on this planet tenfold.
Even the poorest people in capitalist societies live better than any surf or peasant has throughout history.
You people just seem upset to me because your not good at capitalism and others have more money that you, like a crying child.

I heard they're still gonna be producing magazines, but they'll all be re-issues of their older magazines.

I read and collected mad, cracked, and car-toons! Anybody remember Car-Toons?

Fun story. Mexico used to have it's own version of MAD. It had both translated material and unique comics made specially for this version. (I recomend looking up Vinny Dog of balbuena).
Around 2010 it lost some of its better creators and went down hill readly badly.
For the 110th issue one guy got the cover tattoed on his back.

Next Issue the magazine was cancelled.

It actually got cancelled because of that tatoo, because the "guy" was actually a minor.

Get _______ Go ________

I used to have a subscriptions in 2010. It was ok then, I liked the illustrations. Look at an issue two years ago and it was literally just muh Drumpf and satirizing the latest fad that'll die out in two weeks. I am reading an American Splendor anthology now and it makes me wonder if the advent of the internet and PCs hadn't occurred if we'd be stuck in the 80s culturally speaking. Entertainment took a nose dive in the late 90s, including Mad.

If National Lampoon could have one, there's no reason for not doing one for MAD

The board game is hilarious and perfect! Played it for the first time a couple weeks ago and loved it. I fucking love MAD Magazine so much. This is a very sad day.

I don't get it

The overarching narrative of why they were time travelling got really weird in the later books from what I remember.

For me it was a particular Borders that seemed to have every magazine known to man
Wizard, Comics Journal, Comics Scene, Doctor Who Magazine, usually some Official Movie Magazine for a big movie I actually cared about, video game magazines
Plop down on bed with three inch stack of magazines and comics and read them all cover to cover without realizing I’ll never be this happy again

My library had a subscription so I'd walk down there to read it and sit in the AC.
Poverty kino.

Good.

I did NOT expect this nostalgia
Fuck youuuuuu

I used to read a lot of Mad magazine and they actually had some really clever writers and some spoofs were almost genius level, but the rest thought pimples/farts/snot/puns=comedy and those jokes got tiring really fast. Even on here brapping was a temporary joke that rarely gets dredged up any more, whereas in Mad magazine it was a 40 year long joke.

I guess in a way the Mad was a lot like Yea Forums: an occasionally funny or even intelligent joke surrounded by a sea of purile and unfunny shit.

I only buy magazines when I go to the beach, it’s like a ritual

Last I checked your rag is the one going out of business. So much for your anti-capitalist position fag.

I suppose it was inevitable but fuck me this is still depressing.
