This shouldn't even count as a 'read'. Just some good clean fun from Garrison and friends. Listened to it for nostalgia's sake, missing the old PHC show. It's a bit over an hour long, full of corny jokes, but a lot of them will make you smile or crack up. Some are groaners - intentionally so.

Blonde jokes, knock knock jokes, light bulb jokes, church jokes, Unitarian jokes, political jokes, musician jokes....they keep it moving. In that regard, it's a lot like "Laugh-In". the jokes move at such a fast pace, some of the joy is the pacing and timing, as much as the material. In fact, you'll laugh in spite of the material. ;-)

Funny stuff, cheesy stuff, borderline racist stuff. This isn't all good clean fun, but it is quite humorous and will tickle your funny bone (or your humerus). I listened to some with my son until a slightly off-color joke came out of the speaker. I enjoyed the rest on my own. Unlike Lake Wobegon, these aren't that re-listenable. Very fun for a one-time through. I might listen to it again in a few years. I don't want to be the PC police; 30 years ago, these jokes would be good clean family fun compared to almost every stand-up comic out there. ( )

Some of the material on this CD is very good, but some other pieces weren't nearly as funny. It's a collection across time, and the uneven quality makes the whole thing poorer: it would have been better edited down to a single CD. ( )

Mama and I really loved this. Lots of laughs. I have always loved the Pretty Good Jokes show. I also have a terrible time remembering the jokes. I'm delighted to have won this CD set from LibraryThing's Early Reviewer's giveaway so that I can go back and listen again. Many of the jokes fly by too fast to catch for retelling. So many jokes, many silly, mostly squeaky clean, puns, knock knocks, lightbulbs and limericks, songs and stories. There are jokes for the whole family. Even your second grader will love some of these! ( )

I received this audio book just in time for a 9 hour driving trip. It was a great way to spend boring hours on the road. This compilation of jokes from A Prairie Home Companion came in a 2 CD set. It is not actually a book but a rapid fire collection of jokes and humorous stories from Garrison Keillor's well known public radio program. The main drawbacks were that it is hard to remember these jokes to share with family and coworkers, and some of the jokes seem to require a Minnesota accent to properly convey the humor. Thanks, Library Thing for this treat.
