The Reinfather

By Mitchell Hadley

Yesterday, in honor of Christmas week, we began showing you a series of somewhat disturbing but incredibly funny, parodies of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that MAD TV did a few years ago. Today's version is The Godfather - as it might have happened at the North Pole...

Oh, and in case you're worried that this is some kind of vicious attack on the Rudolph legend, relax - I first read about these in this book on the making of Rudolph by Rankin-Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt, who thought they were pretty funny himself.
