Bored of the Rings: A Parody | The Harvard Lampoon
5 posts | 12 read | 1 to read
From the legendary comedic scholars who illuminated the tour de force Twilight so brilliantly in the New York Times bestselling Nightlight comes The Hunger Pains, a hilarious send-up of the immensely popular dystopian young adult novel, The Hunger Games. The classic parody of The Lord of the Rings is back! With a brand-new boreword by Henry Beard. The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring. The Power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing. If broken or busted, it cannot be remade If found, send to Sorhed (the postage is prepaid). Its up to Boggie Frito Bugger and his band of misfitsincluding inept wizard Goodgulf Grayteeth, halfwit Spam Gangree, twins Moxie and Pepsi, and Arrowroot of Arrowshirtto carry the Great Ring to Fordor and cast it into the Zazu Pits. Can they avoid death by hickey tree and escape the dread ballhog? Can the fellowship overcome the narcs and Nozdruls hounding their every move and save Lower Middle Earth once and for all? Yes, of coursethis isnt Hamlet, you know.

I wanted to like this, but I was just not impressed. The new introduction was actually really funny, but the rest of the book I just didn‘t find funny. Maybe this sort of writing is more for people who grew up with the whole Van Wilder thing, but I didn‘t and I don‘t get this kind of humor.

This may well be the funniest book I've ever read. Colossally sophomoric, which probably explains it's appeal.
