I'd recommend Our Dumb Century by the Onion staff writers. Written when they were at their peak, every page is packed with amazing satire. Excellent attention to detail in how they recreated newspaper styles.

The weird thing with Dunces is that it reads to me like the comedy should have broad appeal, but people come out of it thinking it's hilarious or not funny at all. Likewise, people either love Ignatius or think he's completely unlikable as a character.

I dunno. Personally I find it as endlessly quotable as The Simpsons.

I liked Dunces especially the main character's long letters. Although some parts haven't aged well, like the idea of an exercise board being inherently funny.

To Say Nothing of the Dog is a time travelling comedy of manners that takes place parallel to the previously mentioned "Three men in a boat" and is quite fun.

Good recommendation, Willis is a master. Doomsday Book is also excellent, probably best "realistic" bleak time travel story I've read (although not a comedy.)

I have extremely strong opinions concerning David Wong.

I used to pitch articles to Cracked and he greenlit one of my ideas and fast tracked it to publication, so he’s alright.
