'MAD' featured very minor and incidental references to LGBTQ+ identities, primarily within its broad pop culture parodies. These depictions were brief and not central to any narrative, neither uplifting nor demeaning. The show's overall comedic approach resulted in a neutral portrayal, as it did not focus on or significantly impact queer identity.
As a sketch comedy and parody show, MAD frequently reinterprets established characters from popular culture. It is highly probable that, for comedic effect, some parodies would portray characters with a different gender than their original, widely recognized depiction.

Its comedic approach often exaggerates perceived hypocrisies or absurdities within Christian contexts, reinforcing negative stereotypes for humorous effect rather than offering nuanced or respectful portrayals.
