    1. What's this kid dressed as?

    "The spirit of colonialism."

    (What he actually is: a Pilgrim.)

    2. What's happening here?

    "Obama is pardoning a turkey (I know this because of The West Wing, when the turkey got locked in CJ's office)."

    "That is the Obama family watching the Republican presidential debates."

    "Turkey's dying wish was to meet the president (that's what I would want)."

    "Obama is about to slaughter a chicken in front of his kids as some sort of dad power move."

    3. What's happening here?

    "Pretty sure that's the Rapture?"

    "A mass exodus to McDonald's (presumably for some chicken nuggets)."

    "The celebration of America's only true religious holiday, in which idols in the shape of the American High Deities, or 'Corporations,' are paraded through the city as their worshippers, or 'Citizens' look on in ecstasy. Finally, one Corporation must be cast from the high temple of the FTSE 500 and be summarily executed, before the body is devoured in the streets, to symbolically prove that, in fact, all corporations are people."

    (What it is: The annual Macy's Day Parade in New York City.)

    4. Name everything on this plate.

    "Heart disease. Liver failure. Regret. Yams."

    "Turkey, apple sauce, various other upsetting things."

    "Some peas. Maybe some turkey. Some sort of faintly radioactive sludge. Some peppers. Maybe? Is that a bit of cake? Is there cake in there? Why is there cake? I don't know what the orange thing is but I'm 80% sure it's illegal."

    (What it actually is: Pure deliciousness.)

    5. What's this?

    "Some kind of horrifying demon."

    "A sign that assures you you're allowed to eat the turkey with your hands."

    "Handurkey."

    "A shit drawing of a Turkey, try harder, child."

    (What it actually is: What every American child is forced to draw and bring home to their parents around Thanksgiving.)

    6. Why are these people cheering?

    "The 2015 World Silly Hat Championships."
