About The Book
This indefinitive collection brings together under one cover the very best comic writing - parody, poetry, prose, plays, philosophy and political treatise - by Australia's greatest living television host. From 'I Was Scott Morrison's Schnoodle' and 'Around the World in One Pair of Underpants' to the deliciously decadent recipe for 'Satyricon Su'rprise', SHAUN MICALLEF's sublime anthology has it all. THRILL to the meta-ironic existential crisis in the Rocky universe; GASP as you learn what happened to Scrooge in the days following A Christmas Carol; DISCOVER what it takes to pass for human in an increasingly convoluted post-Robodebt world. PLUS, there are limericks like this:
There once was a poet who thought
Using words like fought, ought and wrought
Brought a purity sought
But it all came to nought
When he ended his last line with drought.

'It's the kind of anthology that will make you laugh out loud'. - Gourmet Traveller
