Dean: Holy razzleberry dressing! You mean you've never seen "Mr. Magoo's Christmas carol!?" Heart: I don't even know what a Mr. Magoo is! Dean: Mr. Magoo is a little old bald guy who can't see well, so he's always getting into trouble because he won't get glasses! Heart: The whole joke of the cartoon is laughing at an elderly person with an eye affliction? Dean: I guess you had to be there.

Yes, indeed! Magoo is a short, bald curmugeon who is very near-sighted— a perfect example of humor stemming from a person’s physical shortcomings. I am mainly referring to the regular Mr. Magoo cartoons, where he was playing himself, rather than Ebenezer Scrooge…

My favorite part of Magoo’s Christmas Carol was it included an appearance by Gerald McBoing-Boing

Speaking of “A Christmas Carol,” did you know that before Charles Dickens decided on the name, “Tiny Tim,” he considered the names, “Little Larry,” “Small Sam” and “Puny Pete?”

Much Humor is derived from the misfortune or the unfortunate circumstances of others, not sure what this says about the Human Race. Regardless, the Stuff is still funny.
