"With this funny and idiotic book, Michael Ian Black has proven that even the most simple-minded among us can occasionally create works of stupid genius."

That's Stephen Colbert on My Custom Van... And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays That Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face, the first humor collection from Black, a fellow Comedy Central icon. I like that blurb even better than John Hodgman's claim that the book "speaks to the laughless in all of us and asks, 'Why aren't you laughing?'"

What's your favorite blurb of 2008? Does it shove that much tongue in its cheek, or does it go radically over-the-top in its sincerity? Or (and this is a long shot, I know) does it actually distill the essence of a book into one beautifully composed sentence?
