I hit the Babylon Bee site every day for stuff like this. Their biting sarcasm speaks to the inner me.


I also checkout every video they put out. They are very funny and sarcastic much like the Old National Lampoon

Holy Moly! I read everything NL put out for years. I've still got a few items I just couldn't get rid of. Mad Magazine before that but NL was "more mature juvenile humor".

Yeah .Shout out to MAD magazine.! What me worry?
Good reading for sure. And Sergio Aragones liner notes. Great memories. Also George W. Bush looked like a grown up Alfred E. Newman.

Each day there are a couple or more new stories. The headlines are usually funny enough, but they write great articles too. They perform a desperately needed dose of funny when all around us everything seems to be sliding into the sewer. Keeps me what (I think passes for) sane. But what do I know?
I like this one.

O the humanity! And they forgot the death selector switch that goes all the way from standard assault to full semi-auto!

Don't know if you're aware of these resources.

I found it because you tweaked that NL nerve and I had to go see if the WWW had a repository. And it does! You can view or download the .pdf files. Top of the list was the 1964 Yearbook parody. I've still got my hard copy of that somewhere. Many issues here as well. The visual quality isn't great for some, but the text is readable.

This one has a dozen mags you can view (better quality) right there. The first one is the (in)famous "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog!

Nearly ALL the issues and decently viewable.
There are many more sources. God I love the internet (when it doesn't suck by shutting down conservative viewpoints 'n' stuff).
I'm sure I'll waste at least a few evenings going through some of it. So thank you for that!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I also agree with you this is really what the internet is for providing sources for media that is not available or outdated. Especailly in this PC culture and that is sad.
