4.0 out of 5 stars good company during a road trip, November 24, 2002

By	Cindy Leiffer (Guilford, ME United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Few More Pretty Good Jokes (Audio Cassette)

This is a compilation of two of Prairie Home Companion's famous joke shows. The single cassette is filled with about an hour of rapid-fire, mostly short jokes. Content varies from fun but silly knock knock jokes and puns, to more adult topics such as doctor, lawyer, light bulb, and relationship jokes. Nothing too bold or dirty, just some old fashioned fun with at least a few memorable one-liners for everyone. A nice mix of rolling eye groans and belly laughs. I often had to rewind to catch the joke that was proceeding during my laughter at the previous one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quips, March 2, 2003

By	"[e-mail]" (ALBUQUEQUE, NM United States) - See all my reviews

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!
