"That's right. Who's laughing now?!"

Whether it's a sequel or a remake, it doesn't matter once the film starts. This is the second installment in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, and it's one of the few sequels (or "remake" if you want to call that) that is equal to the original. It's just as diabolical, with some twisted moments that will no doubt be implanted in the brains of those who watch them. I think the only difference here is that the black humor is more constant than in the original. There is one scene in which Ash (Bruce Campbell) discovers that his hand is possessed by an evil spirit, and from then on, some diabolical hilarity ensues. The entire film is basically a perfect mix of horror, blood, slapstick, gore, and over-the-top edginess. It's actually one of the better horror films in recent decades. Sure, it may not be like The Exorcist, The Shining, or George A. Romero's zombie films, but the entire Evil Dead series stands on its own as a scary & darkly hilarious bloodfest. Kudos to Raimi and Campbell.

I purchased a copy of this book when it was first published and laughed myself silly over and over again...what makes it so funny?  It perfectly captures the absurdity of yearbooks of an era long gone by: group class pictures taken at such a distance as to render the faces tiny specks with names like "Lotta Zits"; pictures of teachers in their classroom situations: the shop teacher smiling widely at the camera next to a student whose face wears a very surprised look because lower down in the picture his fingers have been separated from his hand by the band saw they are ignoring while the picture is taken! The fun goes on and on--a description of the class trip to D.C. wherein the author takes every opportunity to use the adjectives and adverbs based on the school's mascot the kangaroo. And who could forget the mottoes accompanying the Senior Pictures:  the leering face of the school "bad girl" over the phrase "I guess I missed that period!"  I haven't seen this book since I loaned it to a friend in the early 1980's yet the material is fresh in my mind.  Please, please bring the book back into print so that we fans can share it with a new generation.

My friend needed a good laugh. This book is FUNNY! Some people might not understand the humor though. My friend is looking forward to motherhood, but can't wait to have a glass of wine!

Humorist Barry Parhams latest book, Maybe Its Just Me, gives us more of his unique brand of humor. If you need a morning smile with your coffee, then take a dose of Barry. Youll find yourself laughing and smiling all day.

He writes on every topic from politics, the internet, media, fads, aging, health and more. He finds a joke in every situation. Also, he makes good points to cause the reader to ponder what kind of a world we are living in?

Barry discusses how social media is plagued by morons and full of spelling mistakes. The irony is that most hand-held devices have spell-check enabled. He jokes that one would have to take a three month seminar to learn how to turn off the spell-check. He gives examples of how the English language is devolving. He says that Shakespeares language has devolved into 2 B r not 2 B LOL.

Barry goes on to mention that we click on links to articles on the Internet about bizarre incidents or aliens. And there is a Warning: while the article is moving, please keep your suspension of disbelief firmly fastened.  He tells us of a writer whose book describes how humans will survive mass extinction. Really? And we thought that mass extinction means no survivors!

He pokes fun at the long process to sign up for Obamacare and how in the end their website states the system is down for maintenance. He talks about society being like yin and yang, and where in the US there are those who have and those who steal from those who have, so logically there are laws and lawyers.  There are literally every year thousands of new laws! Probably someone is breaking one every minute! Barry says the IRS has a new code that taxes the flu. Imagine taxable vaccines. Barry states, Close call. They almost missed a microbe.

Barry finds a joke or irony everywhere. Read his book and surely youll find something to tickle your funny bone. I laughed throughout this book and could not put it down.

Oh man... just when I thought the Barry Ween saga couldn't get any funnier, writer/artist Judd Winick somehow manages the impossible and gets me rollin' on the floor with even bigger fits of laughter than ever before. And I haven't even gotten beyond page four yet! Who knew a hyperactive ten-year-old's intricate & disturbingly gleeful descriptions of a rhino's restroom habits and monkey mating methods could be such an aneurysm-blowing yuk-fest?
Barry's third TPB outing features our titular ten-year-old genius and his slightly-thick sidekick Jeremy getting into all sorts of simian shenanigans. From helping a giant extradimensional gorilla get back home, to saving the `rents from a famished sasquatch, to racing against the clock to capture an ebola-infected lab monkey that crashes the school dance, Bar' and Jer' produce plenty of laughs with their profane banter and the bizarre predicaments they get into. Also included to help lighten the tone are scads of movie references, sex-ed jokes, the funniest take on the `tastes like chicken' clich I've ever experienced, and other things you shouldn't laugh at, but do anyway!
Fair warning, though- be sure read this in the privacy of your own home. There's nothing worse than getting your hysterical laugh-on at the local comic-book shop and having the other geeks stare at you like you're some kinda weirdo (Now THERE'S a case of the pot callin' the kettle black if I ever saw one)! Trust me on this, I'm speaking from experience! (=)

What a relief it is to discover that one is not alone...
Ricky Gervais' observations on human behavior in a typical office are so true to life, so acutely and agonizingly and hilariously well-observed, so marvelously accurate.
This series is not just about its unique and innovative humor. It also provides reassurance for many of us that we are not the only ones who notice that humdrum office life is deeply comical... and deeply tragic at the same time.
A lot of people say that they "can't watch". This is because though they are drawn to the humor, they'd prefer not to be reminded of the truth revealed by the darker side of Gervais' acute observations.
Go easy on the reviewers who say they "Don't Get It"... At least ten percent of us must be Gareths or the equivalent. He'd never "Get It" either!

My grandson is completly overjoyed with this dvd.  I don't always "get it" but he does, and that's what counts, right?  He laughs out loud.

"Huh?" is a fun and witty romp through the joys and sorrows of miscommunication...in a most entertaining way. Ellis not only warns us and educates us on what we miscommunicate, but he also gives hilarious examples (with REAL LIVE QUOTES - ha!)...from conversations, like...between Snowden and Obama to eavesdropping on an Angel and "Buttinsky". I would say that "Huh?" appeals to all ages - as the new bible of how (and why) we miscommunicate. I whole-heartedly commend Ellis' latest work to those with a love for great humor and a desire to grow personally in improving the communication...er, miscommunication, in their world.

I am getting the best belly laughs of my lifetime reading this book.  John Riha has immense talent for writing, both on a serious topic like his description of the near-fatal Mountain Lion attack on a California hiking couple.  But, oh, can he make me laugh.  What a joy I am having just experiencing being able to laugh out loud, and I mean LAUGH OUT LOUD.  Thank you, John, for your writing.

I schlepped home from the supermarket today, exhausted and blah...until I found Laverne Bardy's "How the (Bleep) Did I Get This Old?" which had just arrived! I kicked off my shoes, left the ice cream to melt on the counter, and plunged in. This is the first breath I've taken in over two hours of guffaws, chuckles, belly laughs and howls! I'm having too much fun to pause for dinner....BEST diet ever! And the most hilarious and entertaining thing I've read since ----- EVER! I look at least ten years younger now than I did before I flipped the cover open!

Great enjoyable laughter reading this book! I eagerly look forward to reading it again, and again. The writer has a wonderful 'sense of humor'.

After following Vikki's blog for years, I am so happy she finally put her book together.  She looks at life, the highs and lows, through fun-house mirrors with a twist of hilarity. Even before being handed the dirty end of the stick with a Parkinson's diagnosis, she's had her readers giggling and snorting as she faced all the craziness of "normal" daily life.  With the addition of a frustrating, pretty frightening diagnosis, her good humor and natural sense of irony has kicked into high gear! Lucky us: we get the clean end of the stick - and it's so much fun!  Erma Bombeck, move over; you've got company!!!
