A Load of Hooey (Odenkirk Memorial Library)
A Load of Hooey - Odenkirk Memorial Library Author:Bob Odenkirk Bob Odenkirk is a legend in the comedy-writing world, winning Emmys and acclaim for his work on Saturday Night Live, Mr. Show with Bob and David, and many other seminal TV shows. This book, his first, is a spleen-bruisingly funny omnibus that ranges from absurdist monologues (“Martin Luther King, Jr?s Worst Speech Ever?) to intentionally bad the... more »ater (“Hitler Dinner Party: A Play?); from avant-garde fiction (“Obituary for the Creator of Madlibs?) to free-verse poetry that's funnier and more powerful than the work of Calvin Trillin, Jewel, and Robert Louis Stevenson combined.
Odenkirk's debut resembles nothing so much as a hilarious new sketch comedy show that?s exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in “The Second Coming of Jesus and Lazarus,? it is a book “to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart.?« less
