Book Description

Voted the funniest college humor magazine in America by its own staff, the Cornell Lunatic celebrates its 30th anniversary with this collection of comedy—jam-packed with insanity—that will have readers convulsing with laughter. From articles such as "The World's Worst Opening Pick-up Lines" and "Procrastination Made Easy" to "Sex, Drugs, and Bowling," "Choose Your Own Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Adventure," and "The Clone Order Form," this is clearly the finest use of paper and ink in the known universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still funny after all these years, March 11, 2008
By 
Jason Hunt (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lunacy: The Best of the Cornell Lunatic (Paperback)
I grew up reading MAD, Cracked and National Lampoon. I learned how to interact with others not from Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," but from the classic paperback series "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions." ('Got a flat tire?' 'Nah, the other three just up and inflated on me.') Heck, I'll admit it: I even prefer Weird Al's versions of songs to the originals. So it goes without saying, I LOVE this book.

I remember relishing the Lunatic back in the early to mid to sort of late 80s while I took the long and winding road to graduating from Cornell. And I'll admit it, I was afraid the Reagan, Bush and Bush years might have jaded me to the point where I wouldn't be quite as tickled by the articles and artwork that kept me in stitches all those years ago. But I was wrong. This stuff STILL cracks me up. In fact, I was in tears reliving such classics as Breakdancing Rules for White People.

This is everything college humor should be: bust-a-gut funny, wet-your-pants funny, slap-your-knee-right-out-of-the-socket funny. Trust me, you'll laugh your a** off.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like college humor, June 5, 2008
By 
This review is from: Lunacy: The Best of the Cornell Lunatic (Paperback)
There is a particular freewheeling range in college humor that is different from the kind produced by older people. This collection highlights that variety: from idiocy to sublimity. You also get a good feeling for the decades it covers, and it's amazing how the jokes--especially the political stuff--still stand up today.
