Title: F.U.B.A.R.

Subtitle: America's Right-Wing Nightmare

Author: Sam Seder, Stephen Sherrill

Narrator: Sam Seder

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-06

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 146 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis, the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, or Monica Lewinsky's thong, America always comes out looking like, well, America.

This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!$d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a hilarious and scathing satire of the American Right's bad behavior, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report.

If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our Union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take listeners on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination, over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too).

Along the way, they'll answer your most pressing questions, like:

Finally, Seder and Sherrill offer a helpful and hopeful vision for a future that remarkably doesn't look like a cross between the Matrix and Mayberry. F.U.B.A.R. is the wake-up call America has been waiting to receive, and it will probably be wiretapped.

Members Reviews:

F.U.B.A.R. - That's right

I wanted to listen to this book rather than read it because I enjoy Sam Seder on Air America Radio.

F.U.B.A.R. chronicles the misadventures of the hypocritical pseudo religious wackos in their efforts to enrich themselves while they try to take America back to the 16th century.

I enjoyed the book. The phone calls to unsuspecting right wing organizations are really gut-busters. I could have done without some of the theatrical introductions to sections and sidebars, but being a regular listener I recognized their origin.

The timing for this book could not be better with Bill Frist and and his silly cronies parading their genuine homophobia and mock flag-arsonphobia for all to see.

If you agree with the representation of Republicans in this review then you will probably enjoy F.U.B.A.R.

Don't take this book seriously

Fans of Sam Seder's humor and Air America's Majority Report will likely find this book very entertaining and humorous. If your looking for an in-depth expose' on the current administration, this is not the book.

This book starts out to be a serious progressive evaluation of the current administration and it's connection to the fundamentalist right and ends up being another Majority Report show on any given evening, replete with continuous right-wing bashing and all the on-air staff participating in the recording process.

I should say that I am a long time progressive and have no love for the current administration but, I was looking for Sam's insights on this administration's performance based on his extensive experience, research, and interviews with various political pundits.

LOL funny

Sam Sedar does a great job of reading his book. The old American dream -- work hard, get rich. The new American dream -- being rich.

Title: The Darwin Awards III

Subtitle: Survival of the Fittest

Author: Wendy Northcutt

Narrator: Christopher Graybill, Patrick Lawlor, Julie Schaller

Format: Abridged

Length: 3 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-04

Publisher: Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 51 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

From the sheriff who unintentionally shot himself twice, to the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw; from a farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag, to the man crushed by the branch he'd just severed; The Darwin Awards III proves again that when it comes to stupidity, we are the most advanced species on the planet.

Critic Reviews:

"This collection of true stories is so funny that you may find yourself close to earning a Darwin yourself if you listen while driving. This is due both to the clear prose in which Northcutt describes the events and to the way narrators Graybill, Lawlor, and Schaller deliver these stories. Each has a tongue-in-cheek delivery that allows the humor to shine through. Each pauses for effect when necessary, or simply when someone has done something so stupid as to stun the reader into silence." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Lost in translation

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Possibly if it were read by someone who thought the material was funny, rather than two people who took turns sounding bored.

Has The Darwin Awards III turned you off from other books in this genre?

Other Darwin Awards books? Yes

Otehr Comady bookds? No

Would you be willing to try another one of the narratorss performances?

No

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I think it mayl have been funny in print

Any additional comments?

I've heard peopel on podcasts and radio quote things from the Darwin Awards .. and it was very funny. Partly becasue the DJ or Podcaster thought it was funny and it showed in their voices .. which added to the expectation that what they were saying was about to get really funny.

These two sounded like they were reading from a college textbook. And they were definitely READING from something, not presenting the inforamtion in any smooth, natural speaking kind of way. They ruined the whole thing.

Mostly Funny

As has been proven through the Ages, other people's stupidity is something humans find a great source of humor. The more stupid the other person's actions, the funnier we find it. The fact that this stupidity could lead to someone's demise does not seem to diminish from our perception of its funniness. As such, this book continues that great comedic tradition. As in the psychological phenomenon known as "Schadenfreude," other people's short-comings can be satisfying, by making us feel superior.

Listening to this, I got that much-needed ego boost. Just the thing to listen to after getting laid off!

Title: Le Show, 12-Month Subscription

Author: Harry Shearer

Narrator: Harry Shearer

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr

Language: English

Release date: 02-25-04

Publisher: Century of Progress Productions

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 34 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Le Show is a program of satire, humor, and commentary about the week's news. Comedy sketches written and performed by multi-talented multimedia artist Harry Shearer, interwoven with an eclectic, ever-changing blend of music; from world to pop, soul to jazz. Shearer says about Le Show, "I do it because I don't do standup, and I don't do sitcoms, and the radio broadcast enables me to do what I think is funny in a broadcast medium without having to listen either to network executives or Canadian producers."

About Harry Shearer: He co-wrote and starred in the seminal rock mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap; he's the voice of Mr. Burns, Smithers, Ned Flanders, Kent Brockman, and nearly a dozen other characters on the long-running FOX-TV hit, The Simpsons; and he was a cast member and writer on Saturday Night Live. Le Show, has been on the air since 1983.

Critic Reviews:

"Le Show is one of the best shows on modern radio." (Entertainment Weekly)

"In the long nightmare that is America in the late 20th century, no one has given voice to the worst in all our natures better than Harry Shearer. His rants are funny, and his depth of knowledge on certain matters, from digital TV to Lewinskygate, is impressive." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Members Reviews:

The Stevie Wonder of Satire and a true hero

If Harry Shearer's talents were limited to mimicry alone I'd STILL recommend Le Show to fans of satire. His impressions of distinctive voices from across public life are eerily suggestive and musically understood, as perhaps only Peter Sellers has done before. Clinton, Carville, Brokaw, Rather, Bushes 41 and 43, O.J. Simpson (savagely funny), Access Hollywood's Pat O'Brien, Newt (remember him?), Mr. Blackwell, and bygone Shearer star turn, sportscasting legend Curt Gowdy. His Michael Jackson's way off, but by and large the man has GAME. His Jesse Jackson is brutally funny without alienating us from the public figure. His brilliantly scripted ClintonSomething, in another medium, would have earned him a major acting award for his portrayal of Clinton: sly, genial, confident of his long game, reflective, yet no stranger to a good time.

He spins records he likes, sometimes intentionally pertinent, sometimes seemingly not. I seldom enjoy every cut, but it's almost always something good and fresh and occasionally something longed for. He likes Ella and Fountains of Wayne. He always brings in a few pre-recorded dialogue sketches, typically very smart and very funny. It's breathtaking when you first realize he's playing every part, like when you first learned all the instruments were being played by Stevie Wonder.

He takes some fair criticism for filling out the hour with what seems like a straight reading of buried news. Somehow it works for me as a kind of outraged Fiorello LaGuardia on the radio, reading from the back of the newspaper, piling on evidence we may have missed that our world is in the hands of monkeys.

Le Show feels offhand but impetuous, and some hours seem more inspired than others. (As bad news accrues through the week, I begin to anticipate a great show.) It's clearly a labor of, if not love, then of bitter laughter.

Title: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

Subtitle: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right

Author: Al Franken

Narrator: Al Franken

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-12-03

Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2793 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Once again, the author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene, leaving the powers-that-be in tatters and his audience in hysterics. Al Franken thrives on being in the opposition, and now that the Republican party controls both the Oval Office and Congress, the gloves are off and the satire is fast and furious.

Franken's specialty is using his targets' own words to make comedic and political points. Finding logical inconsistencies, factual errors, and doublespeak wherever he looks, Franken takes on and destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, hoists the Bush White House on its own rhetorical petard, and punctures the mean-spirited sanctimony of such media darlings as Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and host of post-Limbaugh talk-radio gasbags. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always uproarious, Lies is sure to raise hackles and spark hilarity inside the Beltway and from sea to shining sea.

Editorial Reviews:

Why we think it's Essential: Franken, the veteran comedian. Franken, the aspiring senator. Both are present in this sharp-tongued indictment of journalists, politicians, and our government. Depending on your political leanings, you'll revel in Franken's research and hoot over his humor, or you'll fume over his accusations and snarl over his exaggerations. Either way, he'll leave you howling! Beth Anderson

Critic Reviews:

"In the kicking, spitting spirit of all-star political discourse, Al Franken gives as good as he gets." (New York Times)

"Riotous...provocative reading for everyone.... Franken's sardonic critique of our culture of political disinformation is serious business." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

"Memo to Fox: Hire Al Franken." (Business Week)

Title: Political Incorrections

Length: 1 hr and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-15-03

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 49 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

From Republicans to Democrats, politics to pop culture, nothing will be spared from Bill Maher's hilarious, "politically incorrect" commentary in this collection of his most outrageous material. Whether you're liberal, conservative, or somewhere in between, this witty, irreverent stab at the politics of the day will have you laughing as you listen!

Critic Reviews:

"Viewers...have been enjoying topical comedian Maher's sharp wit for the past few years. Maher has terrific comic timing and, at 10 seconds per one-liner, there are more than 400 jokes on this tape. The live audience adds to the enjoyment, as well. These jokes have been, as Maher says once too often, 'Satirized for your protection.' They're also very funny. " (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Hardly any laughs

Maybe I wasn't in the mood to listen to a collection of monologues or something, I found this very boring. Each monologue was very short and there was no continuation. The monologue background naration (before every several monologues) definitely kills the mood. I would just pass on this one if I had known.

Wish it were longer

If only it were longer! What a great book, and so interesting to go back and remember highlights which were so big in society at the time. I am a huge Maher fan now but was too young in the 90's to be interested in these issues. Knowing the issues now and going back and hearing him is just glorious!!!

bill maher........

what can I say he's as genius as always. I love that it's clips from the show and not reading the script, Stop and breaks down each topic change. Will be buying more of Bill Maher.

Title: I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!

Author: Al Franken

Narrator: Al Franken

Format: Unabridged

Length: 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-00

Publisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 132 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

You're going to take a healing journey, and it's going to be great! Unless it's a disaster....

From Stuart Smalley come guided visualizations that will take you to a safe and healing place...except for a few wrong turns along the way. (Stuart made a solemn vow not to edit anything he recorded because he is a perfectionist - that's his problem, but he's owning the problem, and that's okay - and he realized that if he started editing the audio he would never finish it.)

So even if some of the parts aren't exactly what Stuart wanted (because human beings aren't perfect, and that's okay), sit back and take a journey down the River of Life and into the Dysfunctional Forest - a dark and scary place where you'll meet Grandiose Bear, Overcommitted Opossum, Sex-aholic Squirrel, and a beautiful little child - a child who looks a lot like...you. Plus, you'll hear Stuart's calming visualizations for such stressful times as traffic jams and holidays. So close your eyes. Relax. You're in good hands. Stuart Smalley is a caring nurturer, a member of several 12-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.

Al Franken wants everyone to know that he really created Stuart and played him on Saturday Night Live, and that he wrote and performed this program.

Warning: Do not close eyes while driving a motor vehicle.

Members Reviews:

Best Prank Audiobk EVER. Play THIS IN THE CAR!

Not only is this great comedy, but it was designed with the conceits of the audiobook listener in mind. You MUST play this in the car, while you're driving, for full impact of the punchline. I just love it, I love Stuart Smalley, and I love Al Franken. I'm so mad he's in the Senate now and can't do a sequel!

Loved it!

Loved it! I know he is a Senator now, but he should seriously consider resurrecting this character.

Hilariuos

I laughed my head off. And made the mistake of trying to listen to a meditation audiobook later on. I could not stop laughing. Franken has hit the nail on the head here.

For those who don't like his politics... forget that stuff, this is just a good time with his Stuart Smalley character. I liked how he worked the audio presentation into the presentation. It wasn't just Franken reading from his book.

Whoops -- I am misleading you

I wrote the other review -- but then I listened to the clip and I realize that this even though this audiobook has the same name as the book-book Al Franken wrote, the audiobook is a completely different product.

I love the book-book, and the movie, and this audiobook is more like "an hour with Stuart Smalley" -- and from the clip you can tell that it is very very funny!

Behind the Scenes Look of an Audiobook Production

Very funny product. The audiobook features Franken as his Stuart Smalley character in the recording studio trying to do the audiobook version of his Stuart Smalley book. What makes it quite amusing is that this is being done in "one take" and Stuart can't seem to get it right. The first 30 minutes are golden, but the tape does drag at the end (the one joke concept does hit its limit). Overall its very enjoyable, even if you're not a fan of Franken's political ideology.

Length: 1 hr and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 82 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Now, the secrets of the management world can be yours. Dogbert, Dilbert's wisecracking sidekick, explains how you can pretend to care, pit your employees against each other, and avoid making any decisions...just like your incompetent boss! Take a tip from Dogbert and you'll have the corner office in no time.

© and (P)1996 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., All Rights Reserved, Harper Audio, a division of HarperCollins Publishers

Editorial Reviews:

The Dilbert books have been successful because author Adams hits the "hot button," as well as the funny bone, of anyone who's ever worked for a corporation. This book presents the world of work from the manager's perspective. Adams's voice sounds like the guy in the cubicle next to yours, who has learned to deal with corporate bureaucracy while poking fun at it. With just the right touch of sarcasm in his narration, Adams will have you laughing while you're shouting, "He's right!" Adams wins the Management Guru award hands down.

Critic Reviews:

"Adams' voice sounds like the guy in the cubicle next to yours, who has learned to deal with corporate bureaucracy while poking fun at it. With just the right touch of sarcasm in his reading, Adams will have you laughing." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Funny because it's true

It's a worry that Scott Adams' humourous

observations seems to be so grounded in

everyday reality. You have a good laugh,

but then a terrible sense of dread settles

over you when you reflect on the state of

the world - I find it's better not to do

this and just laugh. :-)

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Eat your heart out, Nostradamus! There's a new soothsayer in town and his name is Scott Adams. The ruthless ridiculer of corporate idiocy, together with Dilbert, Dogbert, and the twits in management, turns his eagle eye on everything from new work-avoiding technology to sex with aliens. He predicts that (finally!) we'll learn to harness the most abundant resource in the universe: stupidity. Read here by Scott Adams himself, The Dilbert Future proves a worthy follow-up to best sellers The Dilbert Principle and Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook.

© and (P)1997 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., All Rights Reserved, Harper Audio, a division of HarperCollins Publishers

Critic Reviews:

"Dilbert books should be (and often are) read aloud while important office work is being put off, and luckily, the best reader of all, Adams himself, has put his interpretive skills on tape." (Worth Magazine)

Members Reviews:

Meh!

Found this book to be anemic compared to his earlier stuff.

What could be

Would you listen to The Dilbert Future again? Why?

I have, I absolutely love this book.

What did you like best about this story?

That Scott Adams acknowledges other future's like star trek and breaks them down and really tells it like it is and reminds us that people are idiots and most of the future's would not work.

Which character as performed by Scott Adams was your favorite?

The narrator as himself since he is the only character and is just narrating his thoughts

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Idiot people trying to deal with the future

Scott Adams is great

I love this book. Especially the part about men & women and who is in charge - really. It's so true!

Title: Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

Author: Tom Robbins

Narrator: Barry Bostwick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: Phoenix Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 451 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Imagine this: When the stock market crashes on the Thursday before Easter, you, an ambitious broker, not overly successful or ethical, know you're facing the Weekend from Hell. With only 72 hours to scheme and scramble your way out of this nightmare, you find yourself confronted with a 300-pound psychic, a tattooed stranger, African rituals, legendary amphibians, outer space, and your own sexuality. Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, the highly praised novel from Tom Robbins, places the listener at the center of a wildly psychotic journey. When it is over, will you - and the world - be wiser, sadder, better in some way? Or merely possessed of a complete understanding of the surprisingly serious phrase, "half asleep in frog pajamas?"

Copyright ©1994 by Tom Robbins; Copyright (P)1995 by Dove Audio, Inc.

Critic Reviews:

"Trying to describe a Tom Robbins novel by summarizing its plot is like pointing to a snowflake and asking someone to grasp the concept of downhill skiing." (The Los Angeles Times)

Members Reviews:

wacky and philosophical

Whenever I read or listen to a Tom Robbins book, I aways marvel at the way the layers, the concepts and the crazy characters are woven together.

This is probably one of my favorite books of his. Give it a listen, but be ready to have an open mind to embrace all the concepts that he presents to you.

Fantastic

Tom Robbins is a master, and this is a good one. Barry Bostwick as a reader was just awesome. I highly recommend this, or any of Tom Robbin's books.

Terrible Sound Quality, Entertaining Read

This was not my favorite Tom Robbins. For my money, Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates was more cohesive, funny, and entertaining. This was not bad, but had 2 things against it. The first is horrendous sound quality... this must have been recorded in a basement using an old radioshack mic on a TRS-80. The reader did a fine job (in spite of the fact that maybe should have been a woman like the main character), but there was no compression or proper post-production, so the female character was too quiet and then when you'd turn up the sound the male character would nasally grate... The second thing is this is written in the 2nd person, so everything is "you did this", etc. It takes some getting used to.

Robbins is a great crafter of words

This was my first Robbins book, but won't be my last. His phrasing is laugh out loud funny. The book didn't get the 5th star from me because of Bostwick's narration. Barry trying to do Steve Martin while telling the tale from the prospective of a small, squeaky voiced woman just didn't work. However, Tom Robbins work came shining through.

Objectivism collides with mysticism

A hilarious romp where objectivism collides with mysticism -- while taking neither too seriously. A cadre of clandestine characters consider all manner of profit and personal transformation. Will personal responsibility overcome victimization and entitlement? Will self-indulgence be defeated by self-actualization. Can a contrary consciousness kill cancer? Will anyone ever get on the pad? The narrator, Barry Bostwick, is exceptional.

Title: The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Author: Douglas Adams

Narrator: Douglas Adams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: Phoenix Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2996 votes

Genres: Comedy, Satire

Publisher's Summary:

Kate Schechter would like to know why everyone she meets knows her name - and why Thor, the Norse god of thunder, keeps showing up on her doorstep. It takes the sardonic genius of Dirk Gently, detective and refrigerator wrestler, to get to the bottom of it all. Was the passenger check-in desk at Heathrow's blasting through the roof really an Act of God? (And if so, which?) What's going on at Woodshead Hospital? And why is a severed head spinning on a turntable, its body sitting amiably nearby? Only the sleuthing of Dirk Gently can uncover these mysteries, and only the absurdist wit of Douglas Adams can recount them with such relentless humor.

Members Reviews:

Makes you miss him even more...

If you could sum up The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul in three words, what would they be?

Absurdity Making Sense

What did you like best about this story?

Dirk Gently's unique stance on life.

What about Douglas Adamss performance did you like?

He inhabits this character, and makes me believe it's him to some extent... Arthur was him too, but less obviously so.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Lot's of laughs all the way through... too many to single out one.

Any additional comments?

I was led to the Dirk Gently saga via my love of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Finding out Mr. Adams himself narrated this one made it an obvious choice. It does not disappoint, and hearing him narrate Dirk tends to make me believe he is significantly closer to his true voice than Arthur Dent. The main difference being that Arthur has no idea why the world is out to get him, but Dirk has a pretty good idea...

I haven't finished the book yet (about 60% through) but it's already repaid me in absurd fun!

A Funny Journey

Out of the two 'Dirk Gently' titles written by Douglas Adams this is probably the weaker. Don't get me wrong, it is incredibly funny in his usual style, the detective logic is spot on and some of his observations are genius. The problem is that Adams sometimes can't find good ways to finish his books and I feel this is especially true with this title (I won't give away the ending). Also a plus is Adam's reading as his dry wit fits perfectly with the tone of the book and he obviously understands how his material should be read. Overall I would say this is definitely worth a look as although the ending is weak, the story is one hell of a funny journey.

An Amazingly Perfect Story

I had so much fun with this book I nearly crashed the car. When I first read the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" I thought it couldn't get any better, but I actually enjoyed "Dirk Gently" even more. This story has absolutely everything you could ask for and more: mystery, comedy, science fiction, science fact, murder, suspence, ghosts, robots, aliens, demonic posession, theology, evolution, time travel, and an electric monk. You'll have to listen to it to know what that last one is. I strongly recommend it.

It all Started With DNA

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Douglas Adams (DNA) is rightfully famous for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy and all its configurations. There are two novels introducing the incomparable holistic detective, Dirk Gently.
