That's Not Funny, That's Sick: The National Lampoon and the Comedy Insurgents Who Captured the Mainstream is a book written by journalist Ellin Stein, and published by Norton in June 2013.[1] Based on many interviews, the book is a history covering some of National Lampoon magazine's lifespan and that of some of its creators, starting with the original founders' time spent at The Harvard Lampoon, and ending in 1980 after the funeral of co-founder Doug Kenney.
PopMatters journalist J.C. Maçek III wrote in a review of the book "That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick is almost entirely complete, if occasionally confusing, and a smart read for comedy history fans."[2]
