Half the material is lol so random variety that was fresh back then, unbearably trite today.
Half is still good.
To put it in Holy Grail terms, stuff like the oppressed peasant scene is still funny. There's an actual premise there that's built upon as the scene progresses. Stuff like the Knights of Ni and shrubberies is not funny.
Still funny imo, because there's still some tension around the absurdity. The knight pauses before each pronouncement, and the one long word will never not be funny.
The Penguin of Doom rando style is very content-focused. What matters mostly is the anticipation. |
