Easy to AssembleA man (David Herman) is putting together a Happy Hobbity Horse rocking horse for his daughter Alicia in time for Christmas morning, but the instructions are as big as a bedroom window, and make it hard to set up. As he sets it up, he is getting more and more frustrated. He calms these frustrations by drinking liquored egg nog. As the night goes on, the man is starting to lose his mind. He fiercely prays to God to please let him get this thing together. It is almost morning, and he almost has it together. He only has to screw in one more screw, but he ends up screwing it in too hard, and the whole thing collapses. His wife (Mary Scheer) comes down and tells him to just not put it together if he is having so much trouble, and that Alicia is getting plenty of gifts, but the man does not want to give up, and let the horse win. By the morning, the man has gone completely insane, and is now riding the duck taped horse believing he's a cowgirl.

After failing at the Vancome counter, and the hospital, the Vancome Lady Kathy Wajanowski (Nicole Sullivan) tries her hand at being one of Santa Clause's mall elf’s, but as can be seen, she is still her same rude self, refusing a fat kid, a homeless woman and child because Santa doesn't deliver to the homeless because homeless means no home, no home means no fireplace, no fireplace means no chimney, and no chimney means no Santa, and a Jewish boy because his people killed Jesus Christ. When Santa comes to see what all the commotion is, everyone tells him what Kathy has been doing. Santa immediately fires Kathy. Kathy thanks Santa for letting her sit on his lap after work, pulls off his beard to show the kids, and escorts herself out of the mall.

| List of Mad TV episodes | |
Mad TV, series 1, was an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on the Fox Network between October 1995, and June 1996.
Mad TV's first season premiered in the 1995 television season, on October 14 at 11 p.m., thirty minutes before the time-slot of its chief rival, Saturday Night Live.
The original Mad TV repertory cast members were Bryan Callen, David Herman, Orlando Jones, Phil LaMarr, Artie Lange, Mary Scheer, Nicole Sullivan, and Debra Wilson, with Craig Anton as a featured player. The first season's cast was a mixture of seasoned television and film veterans like LaMarr, Herman, and Scheer, and relatively unknown newcomers like Callen, Jones, Lange, Sullivan, and Wilson. The cast was one of the most ethnically diverse sketch comedy casts of the 1990s, with one Native American (and half Irish) man, one Jewish-American man, two African-American men, one African-American woman, two white men and two white women.
Season one of Mad TV relied heavily on the fan base of MAD Magazine. Each episode featured the use of the MAD logo (which is still used today), Alfred E. Neuman images and puns, the Spy vs. Spy cartoons, and the catchphrase 'What..me worry?' The first season also established some of the series' landmark characters like Jaq the UBS Guy (LaMarr), The Vancome Lady (Sullivan), Clorox (Anton), Mrs. Jewel Barone (Scheer) and Momma (Lange) from That's My White Momma. This season also produced several enduring celebrity parodies like Oprah Winfrey (Wilson), Tom Hanks (Herman) in Gump Fiction and Dennis Rodman (Jones) making a public service announcement.
Unlike Saturday Night Live, Mad TV had no celebrity hosts during its first season. Baidu root. However, the show did have special guests including Kato Kaelin, Joe Walsh and Dean Stockwell, Peter Marshall, Michael Buffer, Adam West, Gary Coleman, Jamie Farr, Ken Norton, Jr, David Faustino, Claudia Schiffer, Kim Coles, Bruce McCulloch, Tony Orlando, and Harland Williams. Musical groups like Poison, Pharcyde and The Rolling Stones (who were the show's first musical guests) also made appearances on the show.
Opening montage[edit]
The title sequence begins with several fingers pointing at a bomb. The bomb explodes and several different pictures of Alfred E. Neuman appear on the screen, followed by the Mad TV logo. The theme song, performed by the hip-hop group Heavy D & the Boyz, begins. Cast members are introduced alphabetically with their names appearing in caption over live-action clips of each performer. More pictures of Alfred E. Neuman appear between the introduction of each cast member. When the last cast member is introduced, the music stops and the title sequence ends with the phrase 'You are now watching Mad TV.'

The audio track included on this release was a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround mix. Extra features included the 200th episode of Mad TV (from season nine), the best of Mad TV's commercial, movie, television, music video and animation parodies, a reel of season one bloopers, nine unaired sketches (including one called 'Schindler's Lost,' which was banned for censorship reasons and mentioned on the clip show episode 'Mad TV Ruined My Life'), and a preview of Mad TV: The Complete Second Season.
