"Who can really judge what's funny? If humor is a subjective medium, then can there be something that is really and truly hilarious? Me. This book."—Daniel Handler, author, Adverbs, and personal representative of Lemony Snicket

"The good news: I thought Our Kampf was consistently hilarious. The bad news: I’m the guy who wrote Monkeybone."—Sam Hamm, screenwriter, Batman, Batman Returns, and Homecoming

Food Repair

Courtesy of the YouTube skills of Dennis "Comedy Encyclopedia" Perrin, here's the legendary "Food Repair" sketch from The New Show. The New Show was Lorne Michaels' short-lived 1984 follow up to Saturday Night Live. It was the failure of The New Show that made Michaels open to returning to SNL the next year, where he's been perched ever since.

"Food Repair" was written by George Meyer, who went on to greater renown with Army Man and then the Simpsons.
