Perhaps the biggest draw of the magazine is its recurring sections. Some of the most popular ones are:
Fold-ins – Appearing with the phrase “Here we go with another ridiculous Mad Fold-in" for a heading, fold-ins are designed by artist Al Jaffree. Meant to be a parody of the highly popular fold-outs in Playboy magazines, fold-ins poses a question to the readers. By folding the outer fourths of the page together, you get a highly comical and often surprising answer.

Spy vs. Spy - Antonio Prohías's iconic Black Spy and White Spy were inspired by the cold war. But they became such a rage that they went on to outlast the war and became a permanent feature in the magazine. Even today people flock to read this entertaining section.

TV and Movie parodies – No issue of MAD is complete without at least one complete parody of a popular TV series or movie. Hysterically funny, these parodies are unique in their approach and make for an absorbing (sometimes thought-provoking) read.
