Review: MAD – “Alfred’s Game / We Are X-Men”

 

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

 

ALFRED’S GAME

Sketch Stork is on the scene to let us know that the first parody is gonna be about Ender’s Game, a movie that hasn’t come out yet. The crew just runs off of what they know from the roughly two minute trailer. Harrison Ford starts out the sketch by dropping a really nice soliloquy while the artists twist those words to showcase a ton of features from MAD Magazine. After a quick Spy Vs Spy cameo, a Duck Hunt joke, and some pretty funny facial tattoos, the sketch ends abruptly. Just like the trailer.

WE ARE X-MEN

I’ll be perfectly honest, I have no idea what this parody is really about. It’s crazy short, some whiny guy moves in with the X-Men, and he gets crushed after they TP Magneto’s house. That’s pretty much it. Nothing to see here, folks.
