Customer Reviews

The funniest book I have ever read

I first came across this book on vacation in Florida in the summer of '97.I had just read a few pages and I was laughing uproarisly,people in the store were looking at me.I had to buy it.Now,three years later,I still split my sides laughing whenever I read this book.It's in the same vien as Jay Leno's 'Headlines', it deals with real life,unintentionally funny stuff.This book is surely proof that the truth is funnier than fiction.Anyone with a sense of humour should buy,and love,this book.

A Totally Hilarious Collection, A Must Have

The first time I read this, I actually had to put the book down because I was laughing too hard. If you like Jay Leno's Headlines, then you'll love this. It's way better. All of the pictures and headlines are true, that's what makes it fun and the commentary by National Lampoon with each picture is just as funny. My favorite is the picture of the Sesame Street gang and the misprint in identifying one particular character. BUY THIS FOR A GUARANTEED LAUGH!

Hilarious! I could not stop laughing!

Oh my god. I thought I was going to die of laughter. The stuff that's in the book is actually true and I could not stop laughing at these sighns and newspaper articles that they had in there. (EX: A man gets killed by a bowling ball) You have to get this book. You can't stop laughing.

The Greatest Laughs of My Life!

This book gave meaning to my previously boring, miserable life. As a geeky high school student, I found that noboby could appreciate my sense of humor. I bought "True Facts: The Big Book" the Summer after my graduation from high school. I loved the book so much that I HAD to take it to college with me. Now I am the big man on campus, thanks to this book. I have friends knocking on the door asking if they can borrow it. It's hard not to laugh at other's verbal mistakes, such as a "SOTP" sign or a sign that reads: "Caution, pedestrians slippery when wet." My hearty thanks to John Bendel for the endless laughs!

You'll have a good laugh every time you open the book!

This book contains photos and other reproductions of media items that will give you a good laugh every time you open to one of its pages. Everything is from real-life and that makes it even funnier. After reading this book and keeping it handy to let my friends enjoy it too, I found myself looking around familiar surroundings in my life with a keener eye and spotting the same type of funny stuff that made the book hilarious . . . like a photo ad in the Sunday paper for fitness and exercise equipment, and smack dab in the middle is a photo of a lady seated in a massage chair. Hey, that's MY kind of exercise! You'll love the National Lampoon True Facts book and you'll love your new awareness of the humor in the all-too-complicated world around us. Suitable for adults.
