Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I played this game over the holidays with some friends. It's from the same company that makes Words of Wiz Dumb and The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Game. Unlike those two games, this one did not go over as well. The box says ages 16 and up, and I think that's appropriate. There are jokes with sexual innuendo and ethnic references, so those who are offended by those will probably not like this game. The concept itself is okay.
Basically, you write down the punch line to a joke. The person whose turn it is picks his or her favorite, and the person who wrote it advances on the board. You also move on the board if you should happen to know the correct punch line to the joke, but trust me, that won't happen often. There's one category based on making up your own joke with no actual punch line given. One joke was "What's the worst job for a blind person?" I wrote down "being Stevie Wonder's chauffeur." I should have written "proofreader" which is my occupation, by the way.
The president of the company that makes this game e-mailed me and said this game will not be published anymore. My gaming group is pretty open minded and aren't members of the Holy Name Society, so we weren't offended by any of the material. You can get as downright raunchy or funny as you want, but this game is NOT for little kids or people easily offended. For more family oriented game similar to this, get Words of Wiz Dumb or the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Game, both made by the same company (All Things Equal).
