Humor Essays

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

Moving to New York City is the worst decision you'll ever make. Unless you're like a certain singer who arrived with millions of dollars and legions of screaming fans. You're going to live in the equivalent of a shack [shit hole], suffer through moronic roommates [personal death], be broke off your ass [literally], and all while trying to prove to the world [yourself] you can make it in the big city. You can call it a day and crawl back to wherever you hail from or you can put on your big girl panties and survive.

Eu rezemos só que me safo foi o livro de estreia do professor primário, Marcello D’Orta, e apresenta uma divertida colectânea de sessenta redacções dos alunos da escola primária de Arzano. Foi considerado pela crítica um bestseller de potência bíblica, onde rebelião, ignorância e má educação transformam-se em expressão, até revolução da língua. Renova a fé na existência do humor Napolitano como um género literário autónomo. Um encontro entre o desconhecido e o pensamento infantil que é ao mesmo tempo grandiosamente sério e cómico.

Step into my world as I share a collection of stories and essays that offer an intimate glimpse into my life. I wear many hats—Man of God, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Comedian, and more—but all are worn with pride. Through these reflections, I invite you to see the world as I do, through the lens of a Black man living in today's United States. In this book, I open up about my journey—celebrating successes, confronting challenges, and navigating the complexities of life.

The first collection of comedy essays from Burphole.com. "Very odd essays in stereo." Part ridiculous comedy skit, and part scathing satire. The audio for Burphole is usually a stereophonic mix including pans, beats, and loads of effects. This audiobook is completely free of all that. When my agent asked, "Are you a writer, or are you a producer?", I didn't know how to respond. I still don't. But here it is free of everything but my voluptuous voice. Recorded in a closet. Because it's noisy around here. Too many hookers armed with bongos.

A collection of humorous insights into important topics ranging from being targeted by annoying ads ("Nowhere to Hide"), to resorting to symbols when you've forgotten your words ("At a Loss for Words"), to figuring out what door that extra key opens ("My Extra Key"). Other essays examine how sitting is the new smoking (whatever that means) and why it is just so hard to focus when you have the attention span of a gnat.
