National Lampoon

[Inky29]

May have been mentioned before, but have any of you watched the Netflix movie about the National Lampoon (primarily Doug Kenney) or the documentary about the magazine? Amazing the collection of talent at one place before they became famous. If you like that era of comedy pretty good stuff.

And couldn't happen today.

I used to have an album or two that was merely short bits from the National Lampoon Radio Hour. It was amazing how much talent they had, before most of them were known at all.

I had a subscription to the magazine though most of college and law school. That was some funny sh.... stuff.

Friend of mine had a Wategate one that was freaking hilarious. In college I had a compendium from the Harvard Lampoon when some of the NL guys were there predating NL.

I agree with Bill Murray. Political correctness is ruining good comedy.

We're turning into a nation of unfunny turds.

It is. But to an extent comedians at least get some more leeway.

I'm not so sure.

The PC wackadoo crowd crucified Dave Chappelle after his most recent comedy tour. I'll bet he goes back into seclusion.

I loved it!

The PC wackadoo crowd just gave him a Grammy. I don't think Chappelle is getting chased out of comedy.

Must have loved his slamming Republicans and professing his admiration for trannies in his last comedy set.

So yeah, kissing up to the right team gives you a lot more rope.
