Publisher's Summary

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 television 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 theater ("Hitler Dinner Party: A Play"), from avant-garde fiction ("Obit for the Creator of Mad Libs") 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 hilariousnew sketch comedy show that's exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in "The Second Meeting of Jesus and Lazarus," it is a book "to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart".

Baffling

As I listened to this, I''m positive I had a confused , amused , and sometimes baffled look on my face. Entertaining in a way I can't even explain. If you are a fan of Bob, you'll enjoy this book a lot.

Any of these sketches could be accompanied with visuals and added to the Mr. Show catalogue.

I agree with Bob about the circumcision

I hate circumcision so much and I have tried many things to restore myself as Bob has, I have found luck in restoration techniques. I am proud to say my children are intact and whole as God intended.
Protect your family they will thank you.
They are not born broken
