Do you remember MAD Magazine? What are some of the magazines you've subscribed to over the years?

When I was maybe 11-years-old, I got a subscription to MAD Magazine. What me worry? It was really hilarious. In my adult years, I have come to realize how edgy and "almost adult" the humor was in that magazine.
Since my MAD Magazine days, I have a had subscriptions to Stereo Review, Newsweek, Stereophile, and some boring scholarly journals, but that's about it.
What magazine subscriptions have you had over the years? Did you ever read MAD Magazine?

I remember Mad. I even read a few issues. The magazine I enjoyed was Those Were the Years. Something like that. Stories and pictures of times gone by. Such fun to look through.

No, I never read MAD Magazine, I had a subscription to Mickey Mouse comics during several years when I was a kid. Growing up I had a subscription to the Italian version of the "Reader's Digest", later a subscription to a weekly crime novel by "Mondandori".

I had a subscription to Mad Magazine for quite a few years. It was always on my Christmas list. Right now we just have a subscription to Consumer Reports, AARP Magazine and All Recipes. Have a good day.

@LindaOHio For Epinions? But weren't you writing in the "wrong" categories?

I remember one day sitting next to the stove on a kitchen chair reading Mad and laughing so hard at something in it my mother thought I'd gone crazy. Can't remember what it was, of course, just that it really struck me.

MAD was my favorite in Junior High. After that, I went to National Lampoon. I subscribed to Roling Stone the whole time my kids were growing up. I subscribed to Vanity Fair off and on but it became way too expensive for me to keep that going.
