...some of us. (Don't worry; it will be mentioned anyway.) Stewart's bizarre sense of humor--an almost schizophrenic mating of pseudo-highbrow Lampoon humor with seventh grade locker room jokes--brought him notoriety, though not much air time, on the short-lived "Jon Stewart Show" on MTV. In book form, however, his alternatingly grotesque and hysterical comedic style finds a happy home. These are not jokes that would work in a standup routine; but on paper, a 10-page story about a lazy cult leader who convinces his followers that a Captain Crunch cereal box will come...
