Douglas Kenney

Biography

Though almost completely unknown, this man was one of the originators of a highly popular and groundbreaking new form of comedy and satire. After working on the Harvard Lampoon as an undergraduate, Douglas C. Kenney co-founded the National Lampoon magazine and the National Lampoon Radio Hour. Kenney had originally collaborated at Harvard with friend, Henry Beard, and founded the National Lampoon, where the two pooled their talents and created a radical new humor magazine. Humor that was sophomoric, rebellious, off-color, vulgar and just plain laceratingly funny. The Lampoon's humor was considered radical. Not only was the magazine an all-time best seller - particularly the infamous cover of the gun pointed at the family pet: "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog". Kenney had broadened his comic touch all over. He and other members of the Lampoon had written books - the most popular being the "1964 High School Yearbook Parody" in 1974 (co-edited by P.J. O'Rourke). Written like a real yearbook and spoofing all the things that make them almost embarrassing and funny in their own right, Kenney and his cohorts had certainly written a little masterpiece. Another best-selling classic of his was the cult favorite "Bored of the Rings", a humorous little take on Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary best-seller. The book was a best-seller and thanks to the release of Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning live-action adaptation of the novel trilogy, the book got another printing. Kenney's legacy was living on. Another piece of his was "Mrs. Agnew's Diary", that roasted the Nixon administration. IMDb Mini Biography By: dane youssef

Biography

虽然几乎完全不为人知,但这个人是一种非常受欢迎和开创性的喜剧和讽刺新形式的鼻祖之一。道格拉斯·肯尼(Douglas C. Kenney)在本科期间在哈佛讽刺杂志工作后,与他人共同创立了《国家讽刺》杂志和《国家讽刺广播时间》。肯尼最初在哈佛大学与朋友亨利·比尔德(Henry Beard)合作,并创立了《国家讽刺》(National Lampoon),两人汇集了他们的才华,创办了一本激进的新幽默杂志。幽默是诡辩的、叛逆的、不合时宜的、粗俗的,而且简直是令人心碎的滑稽。嘲讽者的幽默被认为是激进的。这本杂志不仅是有史以来最畅销的杂志,尤其是臭名昭著的枪封面指向家里的宠物:“如果你不买这本杂志,我们就杀了这只狗”。肯尼已经扩大了他的喜剧风格。他和嘲讽团的其他成员都写过书,其中最受欢迎的是1974年的《1964年高中年鉴模仿》(1974年由P.J. O'Rourke共同编辑)。肯尼和他的同伴们写得像一本真正的年鉴,恶搞了所有让他们几乎尴尬和有趣的事情,他们确实写了一部小小的杰作。他的另一部畅销经典作品是备受追捧的《无聊的指环》,这是对 J.R.R. 托尔金先生传奇畅销书的幽默小演绎。这本书是畅销书,由于彼得·杰克逊 (Peter Jackson) 的小说三部曲的奥斯卡获奖真人改编版的发行,这本书再次印刷。肯尼的遗产继续存在。他的另一篇作品是《阿格纽夫人的日记》(Mrs. Agnew's Diary),它抨击了尼克松政府。
