From AudioFile
On or around April Fool's Day each year, Garrison Keillor and friends share dozens and dozens of "pretty good jokes"--old chestnuts and new, knock-knock jokes and riddles, puns and chicken-crossing-the-road jokes--yuks, shtick, and flashbacks to childhood giggles. On the other hand, this is not all kid stuff--some sexual innuendos may not be appealing to all families. Some of the ethnic humor may offend the terminally politically correct listener, but then again lawyers and politicians are all fair game here, too. Enjoy this pastiche of two years' live shows--and lighten up. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Great Quips,
By "jem@vaughncpa.com" (ALBUQUEQUE, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Few More Pretty Good Jokes (Audio CD)
Using the style of old-time one liners that just keep you laughing and the interaction of musical introductions, this CD keeps you laughing.Keillor draws on his usual subjects, Norwegians, "Olly and Lena", jokes that could apply to any ethnic group for some of the time, but the 3rd grader jokes are especially funny and useful for a family "uplifter". Some are groaners, some slapstick style, but all are funny, even if you heard them before. A good buy!
