About The Friday Afternoon Lampoon
The Friday Afternoon Lampoon was created to fill a gap for readers seeking witty, offbeat, and entertaining articles that don’t always take life so seriously. Content ranges from tongue-in-cheek commentary to insightful pieces that bring a lighter perspective to heavier topics.
Content & Features
Readers can expect an eclectic mix of recurring features and story types, including:
- Travel experiences and foodie adventures
- UFOs, paranormal activities, and explorations of ancient civilizations
- Mr. Curmudgeon’s Dinner & a Movie, a humorous twist on film reviews
- Quirky lifestyle pieces, from teenage sleepovers to everyday oddities
- Sports coverage, including Saratoga Race Course, horse racing, Yankees baseball, NY Rangers, and NY Giants
The magazine thrives on being unpredictable — at times hokey, occasionally factual, and often satirical. Its writing style is sharp, fast-paced, and intentionally humorous, giving readers a break from the day-to-day grind.
Connection to Saratoga
Although headquartered outside New York, The Friday Afternoon Lampoon has deep ties to the Saratoga region. Its founder grew up in New York and has spent over four decades visiting Saratoga each summer, especially enjoying the traditions and excitement of Saratoga Race Course.
Articles often include stories about Saratoga, its horses, jockeys, and racing culture, making the publication a fit for readers who appreciate the Spa City’s unique character.
Audience
The Friday Afternoon Lampoon is designed for a wide audience — anyone who enjoys humor, satire, and a lighter take on current events and culture. From horse racing fans to casual readers looking for something fun and unexpected, the magazine’s goal is simple: to spark laughter, curiosity, and maybe a new way of looking at the world.
