Soda Through My Nose: The Great Comedians of Insult Comedy (Don Rickles, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Kinison, Jackie Mason, Gilbert Gottfried, Sarah Silverman, and More)

While it's true that comedy is defined differently from person to person and culture to culture, comedy's intent is to amuse and get the laugh. Comedy can take the form of social or political satire, slapstick, irony, parody, black comedy and many other forms. Comedy is an ever-evolving art that mutates with the whims of the cultural funny bone.

This book explores insult comedy, and the comedians who have mastered the style. In insult comedy, the comedian uses offensive remarks aimed at the audience or other performers and characters. Insult comedy also includes the concept of a celebrity roast in which "friends" praise and insult an individual through a semblance of tribute. Included in this book are Don Rickles, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Kinison, Jackie Mason, Gilbert Gottfried, Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampanelli, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and many more.
