That's a lot of work! I LOLed at the Father Hats ad.
Also the Gladwell ad. I haven't even gotten to the articles.
The cartoons are funnier than the ones in the real N'orker.
3. Are they all captioned, "Christ, what an asshole!"?
The horse life article is a superb extended parody of the rich person blithely unaware of how rich they actually are.
The cartoons are funnier than the ones in the real N'orker.
Not a high bar.
Didn't somebody link to this before?
That was me but of course in our PC-addled culture no one listens when it's a straight white man talking.
Persians are totally the white men of the Middle East.
I think, rather than "someone", this was for real the work of the people listed in the contributors page.
The movie capsule reviews are great.
7: didn't National Lampoon used to do these all the time?
acela: the Train for Nieces.
I don't know why that strikes me so funny, but it does.
Or for that matter the "Orsnow" bank ad. "You're worked hard for your money... we'll take it from here."
Yeah the bank ad was great. But how much of this did you (all) actually read? I'm a little concerned that the writers might have read as many as two or three actual New Yorkers cover-to-cover.
It repays actual reading. Thus far the "Tomb Reader" letters from Prof. Elijah Draven -- which tell a poignant but ultimately triumphant story of one man's search for ill-gotten immortality and appreciation of Chilean verse -- and the review of "Death of a Whalesman" (a play that consists of a bunch of whale carcasses rotting on a stage) are gold.
13. Yes, they did.
On a related note, there's this
Favourite ad was for Jeff University. Loved the whale carcass review and the profile of the band Fort Blanket.
Matthew Deuczynski is a man after my own heart.
The cartoons rock way funnier than those on the New Yorker!
