Very weird 70ish look at sci-fi, with a Saturday Night Live kind of approach. The best part for me was when Zaphod Beeblebrox I must use a seance to contact his great-grandfather, Zaphod Beeblebrox IV, for help. The explanation for the fact that Beeblebrox the fourth precedes Beeblebrox the third, the second, and our own protagonist, Beeblebrox the first is an unfortunate confluence of failed contraception and time travel. Very slapstick humor and dry British wit throughout.
