The A-Team has recently regained popularity, with marathons of episodes running several times a week on Sundance channel, and also now on IFC.

Outside of MAD, artist Robert Crumb did a story titled "The Ruff-Tuff Cream-Puffs Take Charge", that first ran in HUP # 1, in 1987,
and could double as another parody of the A-Team.

A parody of the hippie movie "Billy Jack"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Jack

For those unfamiliar with it, the movie centers on a small town in the southwestern U.S. circa 1971. And there's a Native American guy named Billy Jack who is a Vietnam war veteran, and known locally for his skills as a martial arts fighter. Billy Jack's girlfriend runs a farm/commune populated by a lot of hippies, peaceful but a bit spaced out, who are scorned, mocked, and sometimes attacked by the more belligerent locals of the nearby town.
In the movie version, Billy Jack confronts some of the locals when he catches them roughing up some hippie kids, and Billy Jack takes off his boots, to kick them more precisely when fighting, with the right edges of his feet.

In the MAD parody version, Billy Jack is so lethal with his feet because he hasn't washed his feet in 2 years, and knocks all these guys out with the powerful stench !


There's also a parody of the Billy Jack movie ("Billy Jerk", a 1-page parody ) in Marvel's CRAZY magazine, issue 5, July 1974.

I could only find this Spanish-translated version online, but it is non-verbal, and so just as clear in this version, except for being re-titled in Spanish.
