Mad Magazine has been around now for some fifty years. Here is a collection of the "Mad" takeoff on the advertising world. There are spoofs of commercials and ad campaigns from print and television. The parodies are as funny today as they were when they first were in print. There are hundreds of them here. Fans of a certain age may remember some of these hilarious put-downs from golden days of Mad Magazine, and anyone who is new to this kind of humor will enjoy discovering why Mad has lasted so long.
