For parodies, there's send-ups of A Christmas Story and Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. Oh, and don't forget the roast of the Hallmark Wish Book! Spy Vs. Spy won't let the holidays get in the way of their cold war.
But my favorite feature was a classic from all the way back in 1963. Called 'If Kids Designed Their Own Xmas Toys,' MAD Magazine had several kids draw their ideal toy. Then Al Jaffee took those designs, took them literal and made 3-D models. It was very funny and extremely brilliant.
Not every feature was a winner. But that's MAD Magazine for ya. If you push the envelope in so many directions, it's not going to reach all audiences. Overall, this was an enjoyable read as their were more hits than misses.
And remember. It's 2021. People have gotten too overly sensitive over things. Lighten up. It's all supposed to be in festive fun!
Worth Consuming!
