>implying the unintentionally hilarious parts isn’t part of the charm.

But anon that’s why it’s so good. Joe is the worst protagonist in the history of books.

He’s like Chrischan. Only if Chrischan’s writing was actually a blast to read. Yes, I’m defending Gardner. Call of the Crocodile was the funniest book I’ve ever read. See pic for what I mean. The fact that the book is pretentious and edgelord added to the comedy. Basically The Room in book form.

Soon I hope. Gardner’s “horror” books are unintentional comedy gold. Screenshot from a CotC thread.

CotC is worth reading just to see the baffling twist and how off the rails retarded the plot gets. Screenshot is from a CotC thread. It’s a “meme” book like Infinite Jest. Unlike Infinite Jest though it’s not unbelievably long and boring. It’s honestly entertaining because of how batshit insane it is.

It’s not a comedy but Call of the Crocodile by F. Gardner. It’s like the greatest unintentional comedy of all time. Pic related.

Anything by F Gardner

>self inserts himself as a famous and beloved author in his books
>one of the books (Jigoku) is about how much he loves Pokémon
>main villain of the books (Sam) is literally an autist manchild obsesses with video games

Pic is from a Call of the Crocodile thread. These books are bonkers and really need to be read to be fully believed

Ones that make me laugh. I like it best when it’s unintentional like in Call of the Crocodile (where it describes main character.) I like it when books are fucking retarded
