That's Not Funny, It's Boring" is my opinion. I didn't get the audio, I got the book. I'm a longtime fan of National Lampoon magazine, from the 1970s, and had purchased 100 or so used ones in a thrift store quite a few years ago, and read some, but they got so musty I had to put them in recycling last month.
During a trip to NYC early 70s my buddy and I even went to the Ntl Lampoon office to say we were fans.
Such wonderful writers, cartoonists.
But the book was like a laundry list of facts.
What a shame.

Not a book. It's a comedy album that came out in 1977 and is funny as hell. Featuring early work of Bill Murray and other comedians of the time.

The That's Not Funny, That's Sick album is a collection of sketches, several of which were taken from the National Lampoon Radio Hour, a radio show that was broadcast on 600 radio stations from late 1973 to the end of 1974. The That's Not Funny, That's Sick album was released on vinyl in 1977.

I did actually enjoy many parts of this book. I think this is truly targeted to people who enjoyed reading the National Lampoon in it's heyday.
