MAD vs. Robot Chicken

Hello everyone, today I am going to try something a little different. Today I will be explaining the differences and similarities between MAD (2010) and Robot Chicken (2005)...No critique whatsoever. I have been getting a lot of controversy from people I know, over these two cartoons. A few of my friends have said that the MAD cartoon series doesn't live up to the MAD magazine. They've also said that it's not very creative because it just comes off as a kid friendly version of Robot Chicken and that's the reason why they don't air it on "Adult Swim." It's ironic how Cartoon Network airs the show right before "Adult Swim" begins. 

They are not far apart from each other in age, but I just want to have a little fun with this post. I want to know what you all think. What certain qualities do you like about one cartoon that the other doesn't have? Is this one funnier than the other? Is it more clever, enjoyable or just bad? I'm interested in what you all think. Speak your mind. Let it out! No profanity, please...
