Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Before The Daily Show...before The Onion...there was Michael Gerber and Jonathan Schwarz. Throughout the 90s, this irrepressible, inexhaustible duo was a fixature on the New York comedy scene, cranking out material for The New Yorker, the Village Voice, and everyone in between. Now, after Mike's worldwide smash-hit Barry Trotter, the fellas have scoured their hard drives to assemble Our Kampf, a collection of their finest stuff from 1989-2004. All their hard-to-find magazine pieces are here, alongside their material for SNL and NPR. Our Kampf also includes selections from rare projects, including their legendary 20-page parody of The Wall Street Journal. If you like funny words and pictures, you'll love Our Kampf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny! Buy it!, January 23, 2007

By	M. Jacobs (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews

An eclectic collection of off-the-wall and political humor that is best read aloud while in the presence of right-wing family and/or friends. This will alternately enrage them and incline them to think that you, like liberals everywhere, are out of your mind. They will then misunderestimate you, and you will be able to get away with all kinds of things while they're not looking.

But seriously. Where else can you find Jon Schwarz's and Mike Gerber's famous "Declaration of Independence" and "Why the ____s Hate the ____s"? And where else can you learn (with the assistance of a magnifying glass) about former President Clinton's ill-fated foray into the world of street luging? Nowhere! As an added bonus, the book is so slim that you can easily hide it inside a copy of the _Weekly Standard_ magazine, should you find yourself unexpectedly surrounded by a crowd of hostile Republicans. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny but -, January 8, 2008

By	James E. Forrester "David Horowitz's Mom" (Compton, SOO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yeah sure it's funny and all but the font used makes the 1's look like I's. My soon informed me that the font was Times New Liberal and the I/1 thing is secular fontologist attempts to push their alphabetic relativists agenda.
I refuse to be a tool for the socialist typesetter illuminati and must give this otherwise humorous tome I out of 5 stars.
