National Lampoon parody movie ads
May 8th, 2008 by Scott Marks
As if preparing me for this Sunday afternoon’s date with dreck, I came across this ad from the 1978 National Lampoon Sunday Newspaper Parody. While not as rich as their hilarious high school yearbook vamp, the paper spoof still brought back a lot of memories and more than a few snide chortles.
Sadly, we’ve become so politically incorrect that much of what once passed for social criticism could not be posted for fear of harsh reprisal. And that’s just from my partner on the site, forget about Al Sharpton.
It’s safe to say that twenty minutes with a NatLamp parody is bound to be more enjoyable than Indiana Jones’ skull, although it may not produce as many laughs. I’ll let you know. In the meantime, enjoy a nasty chuckle.

Went out Ain’t it Cool News and even the long time fans are let down by “Indy IV”. Maybe you can call in sick on Sunday and avoid it altogether.
NEVER!!! Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. The fact that s**tberg fans are disappointed leaves me salivating. I cannot officially post any comments before opening day. Not even Twitter. You’ll be the first one I email!
And I will be looking forward to that email, even though the film will most likely be tremendously underwhelming. Really, the only film I am looking forward to this summer that I know will be good is “Batman”.
Just saw “The Wackness” and fell in love. A great, great movie. Doubt that any American film will top it this year. It’s that good. With this and “Sexy Beast,” Ben Kingsley has more than made up for “S**tler’s List.” Beat it Ellen Page - Olivia Thirlby is the one to watch.
