The immaturity of it all makes my head spin
Although I can understand why some children may like this show, I disagree with the message it brings. The show is all about picking on other things or people, the younger generation is going to end up a big mess! It's discusting, and very immature. I mean, they rely on poopoo jokes, vomit, violence, and gas.. those things have been played out for years, now it just includes popular topics. Now many people may think I'm just an overstricked teenager, but simply, I can see through the mindless and empty humar. If you let your kids watch this (and if they like to imitate- as many children do) then you'll be hearing a lot of gross jokes from them. Please spare your children from this show, surely their brains will be saved that way.

A cony show that crudely mocks more popular shows.
Seen it a few times. It is a very crude show with cheesy jokes. Every once in a while they show something to laugh about, but it is not worth watching. Some might say that certain parts of the show could scare younger kids. They just aired an episode with where-wolves that blew up and their eyeballs landed on the camra lense. All in all, it is a gross, corny show with no interesting story line.

WHAT HAS SOCIETY BECOME!?!?
No way jose! How can anyone watch this without throwing up!? And since when is making fun of celebrities and cartoons together funny!? I am enraged! And also EMBARRASSED to live in a era where little kids are taught to make fun of people who are successful in life! MAD is NOT for kids! And never should have been. It IS and always WAS a magazine and comedy show for ADULTS! >:(

Language is Stupid!
Ok, almost anything on this show can make me throw up! Does' nt anybody understand it is too stupid for little kids to watch! First of all, it is very annoying and weird. Whenever I see this, I am like "What the heck is wrong with this show?" And the language is poop. Do you even want to let your kids watch this? There is a bunch of swearing which your kids should never hear!

Robot Chicken for kids (except not as funny)
This show is really a mixed bag. The major turnoffs for me are the various poop/puke jokes and inane pop culture references. There are quite a few jokes that are genuinely funny, but it's just so tedious to have to sit through all the other "unfunny" jokes.

Horrible
It is stupid, STUPID I SAY, STUPID. It trys to make fun out of popular tv shows, or movies. And it scares alot of young viewers and shows bad messages, The role models (If they made them) are horrible also, the tv show is pretty much telling you to be ''derpy''

Idiocy at it's finest.
I'll admit it, I read MAD Magazine, it has ridiculously crude humor, and even some clever political refrences are stashed in there. So when I decided to see the MAD cartoon, I was truly astounded. I was amazed at the refrences they pulled off (*cough*pedobear*cough*). The wacky animation is enough to keep younger kids interested and the refrences are bound to make any internet goer laugh. I wish it kept in the political humor, but you can't win everything. Why am I praising this truly stupid show? Because it's self aware, it knows it's terribly dumb, and that's why it's hilarious.

Okay show to watch. Not one for the whole family though.
Mad is made up of movie spoofs and parody's. Not as bad as the magazine for adults but still has some crudeness added into it.

Oh yes. Those celebrities had it coming.
I have to say, I give this one 2 thumbs up! They are the only ones with the bravery to make fun of pop culture without being sued! Awesome show and humor! Remember, some messages in the show are good and some are bad!

Funny Spoofs, got rid of the rude bits, so kids can watch it
Im 12 and dont usally fall for these sort of things. But im a big fan of the MAD magazines and when I heard about the tv show I HAD to check it out. It was pretty funny at parts but stupid at others. Little kids would love it! And its fine for them to watch it, just a bit of poopoo and fart jokes. The lil kids love it!

Only for adults!!!
This show is completetly inappropriate, it has alot of swearing/curse words that kids are not allow to see or say it, its got lots of our good stuff that has been made fun of, and none of these stuff are not that funny, its always more stupidest. And its not rated TV-PG, it should be rated TV-MA for mature audiences and it should be on adult swim, because of the language and others. Please don't let your children or teenagers watch this at all, only adults should watch this, because I will not be responsible for any child or teen to watch this at all.

overall, MAD magazine is a half-hearted attempt at jokes for everyone. I've only met like, 2 people who actually like this stupid hunk of paper that comes out once a month, and they were obviously not bright and they obviously hadn't heard or read anything better in their entire lives. (either that, or they just liked perverse jokes about crotches, absolutely disgusting imagery, and stupidity all around) to sum it up, if you don't want your children to end up saying disgusting unethical things, then you should give up on this magazine.

Wake up!
This show is HILARIOUS- I love it! It parodies pop culture- stuff that's trending is likely to get on the show. I'm 100% GIRL and I think it's FINE! The review says it's full of fart jokes... wait, what? All of them are really subtle, or are just transitions in between the skits, maybe just a small joke. So what? Almost every kid watches Spongebob Squarepants, or Fanboy and Chumchum or something like that, and I think that those shows has MORE IMMATURE POTTY HUMOR than MAD. (Episodes of Spongebob often RELY on toilet humor to be funny...) MAD has had comical violence, like someone exploding or being eaten, but nothing much worse than Looney Tunes. Violence is NOT GRAPHIC. Well, overall, Cartoon Network ISN'T for your 6 year old, or you: an adult. Most shows are directed at kids aged 9-14... for younger/less mature kids, watch Nickelodeon instead- it's directed at a younger audience. As for you adults, I suggest watching Comedy Central or something... better for grown-ups than cartoon network or nickelodeon.
