A collection of weak joke writings. Some land, most are pretty one-note and lazy.

The best part of the book is the madlib eulogy or shakespeare in the park.

Not all the pieces worked, but generally quite funny.

I'm not usually a big fan of absurdist humor or someone who was even that familiar with Odenkirk's previous works/talents. There are a few of these stories that are ridiculously funny and intelligent; the ones where you go, "Ah damn, I wish I could be that clever and witty and smart and FUNNY". But there are others that take the "Oh look, I'm sooooo funny and witty and absurd, don't you think so too?" and it's a more indulgent that I can stomach. Since most of the audiobook narrators are actors/speakers/comics, its one of the more entertaining books to listen to. It's good for a car ride, especially if you need a break from NPR

Glad the audiobook uses the talent of author and friends, the jokes are more likely to land during the drawn out skits.
