Okay, we GET it!

Revisado: 05-11-24

The narrator does a fun job of creating imitation Peter Jackson voices for Harvard Lampoon’s raunchy and dead-on Tolkien parody, but here, we have the Anniversary Edition reprint, that felt it had to footnote every single parody reference that might seem outdated since the early 70’s: if Frodo, Sam Gamgee and Gandalf become “Frito”, “Spam Gangrene” and “Goodgulf”, the authors helpfully remind new readers that these are jokes about snacks , canned meat, diseases and gasoline…Yes. Thank you. Got it. In the book, the reader can skim over these intrusions, but here, the narrator must read each one to constantly stop the flow of the humor for the obvious, and the result comes off maddeningly condescending. [Note: “Condescending” means talking down to people.]
