Mad

Every now and then I rewatch some clips from this TV show, and I just wished that every cartoon had jokes written like MAD. These are simply hilarious, and most of the time used to break the fourth wall in impressive and non common ways, making fun of their own cancellation is one of them.

It's basically Robot Chicken for kids though more hit or miss. Some people like it some people don't. I'm more in the middle. I feel like the first season was hilarious and as the show progressed it got less and less funny. One thing that stayed great were the Spy vs Spy segments. They were so inventive. Interestingly they were claymated in later seasons. A lot of the gags parodying ads and infomercials were funny and clever. If you like parody then i'd say check it out. If not you can probably skip this.

I don't know what most of the negative reviewers were expecting. I saw the same things they saw: juvenile, silly, and shallow humor...just like the magazine. It's so very like the magazine that I keep expecting to fold the inside back cover to get the last joke. My only regret is not being 12 yrs old again to truly appreciate it.

It's never going to be mature enough to be on adult swim, but that's fine. There has to be something in the middle for the early teens to laugh at. That's how Mad Magazine found an audience in the first place. If you're over 15 and watching this, go watch the onion or some monty python. This isn't for you.

This show is very interesting. When I watched a couple of episodes, I was trying to decide how I felt about the show and couldn't think of anything. The show was not funny at all, but I was oddly entertained. (It feels like a watered down version of Robot Chicken) I would say watch it for yourself and decide what you think about it.

Cartoon Network in 2010 made a show called MAD which was based on the magazine with the same name, the show had unfunny but entertaining animated episodes which meant to be a parody of famous things, there also was Spy VS Spy which are two spies fighting, this part of the show was really good and unpredictable.
