5. Have you seen this documentary?

"Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon"

Features interviews with many of the old NatLamp staffers, and seques into the creation of "Saturday Night Live," "Animal House," etc. Lots of rare, never-before-seen video footage and photos, some of it from the private collections of NatLamp people. Fascinating stuff.


And look, Ma, I'm on-topic! The film says NatLamp finally shut down because of the Christian Coalition (remember them?). The famous "baby in a blender" pic, with Satan's finger ready to hit the "Puree" switch. After that appeared, the CC arranged a massive boycott of NatLamp's national advertisers.

I hoped they would mention the brouhaha over "Son O' God" comics. Where some wowsers in Massachusetts resurrected a 300-yr-old blasphemy to go after National Lampoon. But they didn't. Or maybe that was part of the overall CC boycott.

Here's the IMdb writeup:
