I had this on cassette back in the day, and I still listen to it every year. All of their XMas shopping episodes are hilarious, but this one is golden!
Thank you for this treat, so right for the season. Jack's annual assault on Mel's harried clerk has to be one of the funniest--and darkest--jokes on Holiday commercialism ever.
+firefly1933 I like that Mel's clerk and his wife (Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet) also played a husband and wife in later life - Barney and Betty Rubble!

Dennis has some of the best lines!
“Does your mother have my build? “
“If She did my father wouldn’t need cheering up “!

I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !
Merry Christmas 2021
Xmas episodes always funny. Thanks for sharing.
I heartily concur !
I love Jack Benny! This is a good one!!!
I love Benny too. My all time fave comic. And yes, this is a particularly amusing episode.
Merry Christmas 2020!🎇🎄🎅⛄
Upon his passing, Jack Benny had arranged for Mary to receive a single red rose every day for the rest of her life.
I read about that too. How wonderfully romantic!
What classic artists
That's for sure !
This is classic Benny always changing his mind! Poor Mel lol
28:04- "Stay tuned now for 'THE AMOS 'N' ANDY SHOW', which follows immediately, over most of these stations. This is the CBS Radio Network."
That show was a hoot, too.
@@Blairpark Indeed. Most people today have no idea how incredibly popular the radio program "Amos and Andy" was.
This episode Beatrice and Mel used their real names.
As Snagglepuss would say, "Indubitably!"
If you can't laugh at this program, you don't have a sense of humor.....
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !
