Unironically this. It's a fantastic book. You can definitely tell Norm is a fan of Russian authors.

Norm's comedy album "me doing stand up" is fantastic. Brian Regan is also great.

>Confederacy of Dunces
That's probably the funniest book I've ever read. Just everything about Ignatius is hilarious. From his absolutely pathetic masturbation tendencies, to doing all of his writing on large notebook paper made for children. The whole subplot with the husband and wife and the pant factory is pretty great too.

Not a book, but a story - Gogol's "How Ivan Ivanovich Quarrelled with Ivan Nikiforovich".
Kafka in general is hilarious.

I love these images. The Original 3 are gold. I actually agree with the second one somewhat.
