The laugh time I got a good laugh while reading was during a passage in Fear and Loathing on the 72 campaign trail where HST joins a Nixon youth march just so he can call John Chancellor a faggot.

Your mom's diary, chucklefuck.

Maybe not the funniest ever but the comedy in Lolita is seriously underrated

Kek, that book is highly amusing throughout.

>the part where HST is covering the Ed Muskie campaign and gives his press pass to a drunk hobo so he can go dick around doing something else
>the hobo gets on the train and proceeds to verbally abuse Muskie the entire ride
>Muskie goes on to lose the Florida primary

Roasted sweet potatoes are like illicit sex in the old Chinese saying, "Having it isn't as good as not having it." The smell is better than the taste. When you smell it, you feel you must have one, but once you actually sink your teeth into it, you find it's not really anything special.

This shit is hilarious

The funny part about that is that he didn't even mean for that to happen despite the fact that it's totally something he would do.

Don Quioxte. Pure timeless humor that has influenced every comedian and every bit of comedy writing since its publication.

A part in War and Peace where one of the Bezukhov's daughters gets cucked out of her dad money, then she starts to ramble on how life is unfair for the good people made kek. Then the part later where she and Anna starts fighting outside her dad's chamber was another kek.

It's amazing how many people don't get the humor in the book. I know a person who read it who said it was overly drab and bleak

Based on a true story by Norm Macdonald

Is The Last Black Unicorn actually good? I've seen some of Tiffany Haddish's stand up comedy and it's the sort of thing I feel like I shouldn't really like but I can't get enough of her.

I know the book is making a light giggle and that's cool but fuck me if IBS isn't one of the most painful things I've ever gone through physically and all because I ate one fried egg
