A Load of Hooey

A Load of Hooey: A Collection of New Short Humor Fiction by Bob Odenkirk, 139 pages

Former SNL writer and Mr. Show co-creator Bob Odenkirk presents a collection of humor sketches in A Load of Hooey. The topics range from a man explaining how he got each one of his impressive ab muscles to an imagined conversation between Jesus and Lazarus to a series of "unabridged" famous quotes. As you might imagine, these are hilarious. My favorites were Odenkirk's "transcript" of Martin Luther King Jr.'s worst speech ever, the aforementioned conversation between Jesus and Lazarus, and the Seussian poem about a man finding a Jackson Pollock painting in his grandma's basement. It's great fun, particularly if you listen to the audiobook, which features Odenkirk, David Cross, and Brian Posehn, among others.
