Idiot Genius by Richard Due6/29/2023 A joke, as defined by this list, is a discrete moment of comedy, whether from stand-up, a sketch, an album, a movie, or a TV show.įor clarity’s sake, we’ve established certain ground rules for inclusion. Pretending to stick a needle in your eye, or pooping in the street while wearing a wedding dress: both jokes. Yes, a joke can be a one-liner built from a setup and a punch line, but it can also be an act of physical comedy. It’s just a shame we’ll never know the name of the Sumerian genius to whom we owe Blazing Saddles. But with the rise of comedy as a commercial art form in the 20th century, and with advances in modern bookkeeping, it’s now much easier to assign credit for innovations in joke-telling, which is exactly what Vulture set out to do with this list of the 100 Jokes That Shaped Modern Comedy.Ī few notes on our methodology: We’ve defined “joke” pretty broadly here. Yes, it was a fart joke: “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.” Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it - something was definitely lost in time and translation (you have to imagine it was the Mesopotamian equivalent of “Women be shopping”), but not before the joke helped pave the way for almost 4,000 years of toilet humor. The oldest joke on record, a Sumerian proverb, was first told all the way back in 1900 B.C.

The monstrumologist series in order6/29/2023 Warthrop’s well being (he has succumbed to the Dark Wave of depression, and needs looking in on) a few years after The Isle of Blood adventure, when Will Henry has just turned 16 and Dr. The book jumps between three timelines: present day, 19 years after the primary storyline, when Will Henry responds to a letter from a friend about Dr. (After seeing what the movies have done to The Last Apprentice, I’m glad.) Incidentally, back in 2014 there was talk that the entire series would be adapted to the screen by Warner Brothers, but that never happened. This may account for the size and pacing of the final book relating the journals of William James Henry to the public. Fans of Warthrop and Will Henry won out after a concerted letter-writing campaign directed at the publishers. Simon & Schuster cancelled the series after book 3 ( The Isle of Blood), having fulfilled its contractual obligation, citing “low sales.” Yancey had to fight to get it published, despite the first book winning the Printz Award, and the second being nominated for the L.A. The Final Descent, the fourth and last in Yancey’s The Monstrumologist series (before he turned to The 5th Wave,) was always planned to be the wrap of the series and a last goodbye to the characters.

Hellions by zeb wells vol 16/29/2023 The premise of how Sinister gathered together the bad/problem mutants almost makes sense. Sinister, one of my most favourite one Marvel villains ever, depicted in recent mutant comic books, but again I was having lots of fun reading his quotes with with Jeff Goldblum's MCU Grandmaster voice in my mind… Oh, Good Grief.Īnd Wild Child’s "We're a bunch of crazy sons of b1/(£&$" gag just cracker me up so much that I was laughing with the whole gang in the end. Still not sure if I’m liking or hating the new version of Mr. 1 before this one, but reviews were so bad that I skipped it, luckly it was never like I was missing something and I liked a lot this well written gorgeously drawn volume, with its excellent plot, characters interactions and interactions: I’m just in love about the way Stephen Segovia draws Havok’s signature concentric plasma blast effect. Probably I had to read Fallen Angels, Vol. I still have reserves about the whole Hickman’s weird death cult sect take on the X-Men, but this first volume of Wells and Segovia’s Hellions was a real blast of a read for me with a badass team of flawed characters that I totally dig, wonderful artworks, and references to the Mutant Massacre and Inferno, two of my most fan favourite one storylines from Marvel ever. Fabiola by Cardinal Wiseman6/29/2023 Thus the Palatine, after Nero's fire, became almost too small for the imperial residence and its adjoining Circus Maximus. But gradually it became occupied by private dwellings while the hills, in the early empire the aristocratic portion of the city, were seized upon for greater edifices. Pompey had erected in it his theatre soon after, Agrippa raised the Pantheon and its adjoining baths. Before the close of the republican period, this field, once left bare for the athletic and warlike exercises of the people, had begun to be encroached upon by public buildings. It comprised the flat alluvial plain between the seven hills of older Rome and the Tiber. The sun has declined, and is about two hours from his setting the day is cloudless, and its heat has cooled, so that multitudes are issuing from their houses, and making their way towards Caesar's gardens on one side, or Sallust's on the other, to enjoy their evening walk, and learn the news of the day.īut the part of the city to which we wish to conduct our friendly reader is that known by the name of the Campus Martius.
