From the 1970s thru the 1990s, the outrageous satirical comedy magazine The National Lampoon pushed the limits of taste and acceptability – and then pushed them even harder. Parodying everything from politics, religion, entertainment and the whole of American lifestyle, the Lampoon eventually went on to branch into successful radio shows, record albums, live stage revues and movies, including Animal House and National Lampoon’s Vacation, launching dozens of huge careers on the way.
Wackiness ensues at The National Lampoon.
Director Douglas Tirola’s 2015 documentary Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon tells the story of the rise and fall through interviews with its key staff and hundreds of outrageous images from the mag itself (along with never-seen interview footage from the magazine’s prime). Tirola also sits down with celebrity fans of The National Lampoon including Judd Apatow, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman and Billy Bob Thornton, among others to discuss its continuing cultural significance.
