Comedy: It's a mad MAD (Magazine) (film)

(YouTube Movies & TV) "When We Went MAD!" (full film)

Go mad. Enlist. Kill for patriotism and bank profits.
MAD 
is an American humor magazine that was launched in 1952 and is currently published by DC Comics, a unit of the DC Entertainment subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery.

MAD was founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines [2], launched as a comic book series before it became a magazine. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical American media, as well as the cultural landscape of the late 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than two million during its 1973–1974 circulation peak [3].

It is the last surviving title in the EC Comics line, which sold Mad to Premier Industries in 1961 but closed in 1956.

Mad publishes satire on all aspects of American life and popular culture, politics, entertainment, and public figures. Its format includes TV and movie parodies and satire articles about everyday occurrences that are changed to seem humorous.

Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is usually on the cover. MoreMad (magazine)
