The funniest catalog in America. Guaranteed.

Let award-winning comedy troupe Kasper Hauser transport you into the sublime universe that is SkyMaul, where Banana-ganizers and Reality-Canceling Headphones coexist with Crack Pipe Chess Sets and Llamacycles. More than just a catalog parody, SkyMaul explodes with razor-sharp wit, boundless creativity, and a keen eye for the absurd. This smart, edgy satire will earn your laughter again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book's a riot!

Very very hilarious for the offbeat humor. Best used as a surprise slipped into the seat-pocket of your traveling mate and watch as they thumb through it unknowingly. lol...really. We could barely catch our breath, tears in the eye laughter (while trying not to disturb fellow-passengers). No luck though, so we ended up passing it around and enjoyed the mirth speading through the cabin. Best if you fly Southwest, of course....that crowd gets it. Here's a thought...slip it into the seat pocket of a perfect stranger and watch him/her come unglued...
NOTE To Authors...eliminate the few off-color ads and we would keep it on the coffee table where younger eyes could enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coffee table conversation piece

I bought this for my husband for Christmas just because it was on sale. Before it arrived, I had started to regret my impulse buy. Then it got here--it is HILARIOUS! On Christmas morning, no other present got so much attention... we passed it around and cracked up. This faux catalogue should entertain anyone who spends their flight time perusing Sky Mall. It may not be the smart, pointed comedy you can find in The Onion or Colbert/Stewart publications (or have the hard covers of real coffee table books), but it will definitely make you smile. Who doesn't need a Hitler/Werewolf nightlight for their child's room?

I saw this at a friends house on their coffee table and loved it so much I had to have one. I got two more as gifts too! I always enjoy checking out the wacky sky-mall products when I'm bored on a plane and wonder who the hell buys half of this stuff. This parody catalog is hilarious and genius. It's a great conversation piece.

a friend bought it for me and i had to return the favor and get it for a family member with a great sense of humor. it's a completely bizarre book, but one of the funniest compilations i've ever read. i have a hard time getting through it because i laugh so hard at every entry. for someone who's into humor and has an appreciation for skymall's absurdity, this is the way to go!

I don't know who these guys are, but this is a really, really funny book. Are they with Saturday Night Live or something? The Onion? The products in their book, SkyMaul, are so twisted and unexpected and funny. I couldn't put this thing down. I read it all in one sitting. The Hitler/Werewolf night light! Who thinks of that? Whatever their next book, I'm in line to buy 12 of them. Very, very funny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Painfully and irresistably funny
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2006

Its hard to describe how funny this book is. Each item is a hilarious and ingenious twist on the inane things they sell in the real inflight catalogue, but as you flip through the the pages, the whole thing becomes almost unbearably funny! It sits innocuously on my coffeetable, and sucks in any visitors at my house who pick it up.

Irresistable reading, and a perfect gift....
