Why was The Simpsons so obsessed with Mad Magazine?

Probably because of a bunch of Harvard ex-SNL writers who considered it the holy grail of comedy writing.

They didn't hate it, they just made fun of it because they thought it was funny.

apparently it's because a couple members of the writing staff got food poisoning from an Arby's once, which led to those jokes being made

They wanted to make fun of a fast food chain but needed to choose something uncommon so the joke would land.

So Arby's Roast Beef is... special. It doesn't taste like other Roast Beef. People that like Deli's tend to hate Arby's because their roast beef is so different.

MAD was the go to comedy mag for decades, it spawned imitators like National Lampoon, Cracked, & inspired countless t.v. & movie writers as well as numerous stand-ups...& it never would have happened with out "Seduction of the Innocent."

Two-three generations of comedian and comedy writers grew up worshiping Mad.

To be fair, MAD was probably good decades ago and like most things Millennials got their hand on it and made it all PC and added internet and anime references which made it painfully cringe.

SNL became destroyed similarly

Like the Simpsons itself, MAD was an institution that entertained loads of kids and young teens. And like the Simpsons, it kept limping along after its great era had passed.

MAD was always the same mass-media self-aware parody shit and you only believe the older prints were funnier because most of the stuff referenced went obscure and requires more brain thinking and research to understand them now

Spy vs. Spy and the Aragones comics are generally considered to be the only parts worth reading. Coincidentally, they're the parts with no dialogue.

I've never in my entire life seen a copy of MAD besides an antique store once so when I heard it was shut down I was amazed it was still in business up to that point. I thought it went under in like 1990 or some shit.

Completely and utterly wrong.

Spy vs Spy (depending HEAVILY on the writer/artist team, Kubert did it best) and Aragones' comics we're good, sure, but you're completely ignorant if you think thats the only good the magazine had.

Monroe was hilarious, the fact that it triggered the female members of the MAD staff makes it even more based.

how do you simultaneously know the phrase "grand puba" means and have so little idea of why a cultural touchstone appears repeatedly in a long running tv show

i mean seriously did you watch the simpsons until bart made bob do hms pinafore and then get super into gilbert and sullivan and just never go back to trying to understand why media works the way it does or what

you're a mystery wrapped in a pizza roll wrapped in synthetic fibers

There's a very ironic bit to the last part...Tony Barbieri and the lady editor who voiced her hatred with Monroe actually became good friends later on. She was highly instrumental in helping it continue in MAD after Bill Wray left.

Monroe's near and dear to my heart as well, but like Dave Berg's stuff, it's incredible how divisive it is. Everybody's quick to tell you if they think it was one of the greatest or one of the worst things MAD ever printed.

That's an interesting insight into the history of Monroe, thank you for that, anon.

Mad magazine had so many "periods" of it's 60(?) 70(?) year run and so many interesting artist and writer dynamics. Id love to read a comprehensive, but narrative-like, history book on the mag.

how do you get so angry responding to someone who is solely asking you about the things you wrote

do you just not read your own posts back or what
