Going Mad the classic way |
Mad magazine has never been shy about recycling material, and this 'very best of our worst stuff from past issues' is another example.
Many of the targets of Mad's satire are blockbuster movies and top-rated TV shows, so you'll appreciate the jokes only if you are a moviegoer and TV fan. That also means that, in this Classics edition, it's last season's shows that are being spoofed, so some of the edge is lost.
As always with Mad, the illustrations are often great, the text often not. It's mostly visual humor. Rating it is difficult; it's 5-star if it happens to be your taste in humor, 1-star if it doesn't. I gave it 5 stars because, although I didn't get a lot of laughs out of it, I can see that many readers would.
If you want to acquaint or reacquaint yourself with Mad, this Classics version is a good place to start. It costs three times the cover price of the regular edition but is much bulkier. Note that it is 8, not 12, copies a year.
