Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans The Best of McSweeney'S, Humor Category 1998-2003

I know I chose 4 stars, but I really mean 3 1/2. It's a fun read.

Some twisted stuff come from McSweeneys bunkered rooftop garage...

Oh dear Lord, but does this book ever bring the funny. "Journal of a New Cobra Recruit"--sidesplitting. "On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor"--nerdcore humour at its best!

Oh dear Lord, but does this book ever bring the funny. "Journal of a New Cobra Recruit"--sidesplitting. "On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor"--nerdcore humour at its best! "No Justice, No Foul"--proving that the Supreme Court can be funny Then there are the lists, which make up about the back sixth of the book. Short burst of hilarity. I love, love, love this book.   hide

Highbrow/lowbrow version of those bathroom joke treasuries. Read it aloud to everyone.

Perform "Unused Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky..." or "Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates" as two-person scenes at your next party. Trust me. You'll soon weed out those who take themselves too seriously, or not seriously enough. Or call me if you need a scene partner. For that chance, I'll travel.

Like my brother said when he loaned it to me, it's "very uneven." Quite a bit that's not worth bothering with, but then some hilarious bits, too.

Both Funny Ha-Ha and Funny Hmmmmm.

I've never read anything so retardedly fantastic and hilarious.

not all of the chapters were great. but the ones that were made up for the ones that were not. especially loved the critique of the death star trash compactor's design flaws.
