I really wanted this book to be funnier, but the concept did not hold up to book format. Jonathan Katz is a brilliant and understated comedian, and I can see this bit being a successful notion that he could deliver onstage. Filling an entire book with humorous to-do lists from historical figures, however, forces the joke beyond its capacity to surprise. Too often, in order to make the joke, only the most obvious and simplified event from a person's life is referenced. About half the time that works fine. The other half, I wished he might have kept brainstorming to find a worthier joke. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Ever wondered what George Washington put on his To-Do list? According to funnyman Jonathan Katz' book To-Do Lists of the Dead, it said check gums for termites and bury the hatchet.Katz has done it again. During a layover at LaGuardia Airport, Katz entertained himself with his PalmPilot digital organizer by creating To-Do lists of famous-and deceased-political figures, entertainers, and rock musicians. The result: the hilarious To-Do Lists of the Dead.This wickedly clever compilation shows celebrities' tasks that were completed and those put off too long. For example: FDR 1. Come up with a more upbeat name for the greatest depression (not done) 2. Think of one more thing we have to fear for speech (not done)3. Insist on twin beds (checked off)Katz's creative comic ingenuity in To-Do Lists of the Dead illustrates why he's one of the few comics HBO has showcased in its stand-up series.
