1.0 out of 5 stars
Two of These CDs are JUNK!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CLASSIC NATIONAL LAMPOON (Audio CD)
The National Lampoon name has been purchased by a group that has no sense of humor whatever but intends to market old properties and mix in new junk, betting you can't tell the difference until after you buy it. In this four CD set, CD #1, 'That's Not Funny, That's Sick" and CD #4, "Greatest Hits of the National Lampoon" are both excellent CDs put out by the original NL writers and actors (many of whom went on to Saturday Night Live: Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Bill Murray, and so on). BUY THEM SEPARATELY FOR A LOWER PRICE! The middle two are recent potboilers put out by the current owners to fool you into paying more. There is basically NOTHING funny (except perhaps 'Gay Alliance' which came from the National Lampoon Radio Hour,

A little further elaboration...,

To add a little bit to the prior review
Disc 1 is aka "That's Not Funny, That's Sick" Disc 2 is aka "White Album" Disc 3 is aka "Sex, Drugs, Rock And Roll, & the End of the World." Disc 4 is aka "The Greatest Hits of the National Lampoon." Which means that, in this instance, Amazon's "Buy these 2 together and SAVE" option is a waste of money, since you'll wind up buying the exact same CD twice. Disc 2 involved some people who were involved with the radio hour, but mostly second-stringer types, with the noticable exception of "Hollywood Gay Alliance" with Belushi, Chase & Guest. Disc 3 was early-mid-80s stuff, which retains a lot of the Slash-And-Burn sensibility of the mag from its heyday as well as the Radio Hour, but precious little of its wit. Currently, the box set is about $32. Each of those CDs sold seperately are currently $17. It's like buying CDs 1 & 4 & you're essentially getting the other 2 discs free. So the four star review is for the worthwhile discs, consider the other 2 a bonus. Now, I patiently wait for CDs of Goodbye Pop, Radio Dinner, the Missing White House Tapes & the Introduction to Stereo Test Disc Whose Name I can Never Remember Correctly. |
