Trailer: Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon
Posted on August 12, 2015 at 8:49 pm
The smart alecks behind the Harvard Lampoon magazine parodies of Cosmopolitan and Time created their own magazine, the National Lampoon, in 1970, and it was like taking everything the Baby Boomers loved about the subversive humor of MAD Magazine and making it dirty, nasty, and offensive. Its most notorious cover featured a gun pointing at a dog’s head and the headline “Buy This Magazine Or We’ll Kill This Dog.” This documentary about the magazine will be in theaters, on iTunes, and on demand on September 25, 2015.
