If you've listened to Garrison Keillor's joke shows before you know what you're in for with this collection: lots of silly (sometimes childish) humor that covers a range of topics and presentations. There are knock-knock jokes, puns, musical parodies, and even a few episodes of Guy Noir, all with Keillor's regular backup crew of sound effects folks and guest stars.
If you've never listened to a Joke Show or read any of the books that also supplement this annual silliness, this collection is as good a place as any to start with.

My wife and I are big fans of Garrison, and very much enjoyed the first two Pretty Good Jokes CDs. But this 3rd CD in the series is a big disappointment. We both thought it is just not funny 99% of the time. It seems as if someone put it together in a hurry. Some jokes are even repeated at different points. Don't waste your money or your time on this.

I ordered this cd for a cancer patient to listen to while taking chemo treatments. It provides some good laughs for otherwise dreary situations!

There are a few keepers on this CD. Some of the earlier joke shows had a better selection. However this CD did offer a variety of categories including the ageless "knock knock"; light bulb jokes; blonds; and even Sven and Ole.
