...onetime New Yorker regular, was never at a loss for a good line. When challenged to use the word horticulture in a sentence, she instantly replied: "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." Insiders at The New Yorker are chuckling again over that gag. The prosperous, sophisticated weekly (circ. 504,000) has, for the first time in its 56-year history, acquired another publication: Horticulture magazine (circ.104,000), a 77-year-old gardening monthly published by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society...
...those on garage sales and cocktail parties. In almost every 750-word spurt, Buchwald manages to get in some downright funny lines, and from time to time an entire installment is clever. For example, no one has challenged Buchwald's claim to the invention of the MX missile-Amtrak gag, which has since become an integral part of Op-Ed page vocabulary throughout the nation.

...part simply provides a solid wall for Murray to bounce his own goofy lines off of. The only real problems with the film come when the minor characters try to join in the fun by grabbing some laughs of their own. One military policewoman, for example, bumbles a Murrayesque gag line and provides one of the most embarrassingly unfunny moments ever captured on film. But luckily, these moments are few and far between, and Stripes remains basically a one-man show, and a good way to blow off a hot summer night. Now get outta here, ya knuckle heads...
