"...looks at how and why native humour pokes fun at the dominant culture and also turns the joke on itself."

"Me Funny is actually hilarious in parts, as well as thought-provoking..." "...a bitingly witty -- and wildly politically incorrect -- collection of articles from the likes of Thomas King and Thomson Highway, two of the funniest writers in Canada."

"Each [contributor] offers informative, amusing - and often challenging - thoughts on the use of humour in everything from stand-up comedy and fiction to storytelling and education in Aboriginal culture. Most of the contributors agree that Vative humour pushes the envelope."

"It's got a lot of jokes, many of them very funny. It also has a fair bit of serious analysis, to go along with that may stand up as the longest subtitle of any book in 2006..."

"...a wonderful exploration into the humour of First Nations people in North America."

"...the book delivers a broad perspective of native humour from visual artists to standup comedians to live theatreand radio personalities." "Some parts are funny but Me Funny is more than that. The book is also a serious, almost educational, look [at] the nuances of aboriginal comedy and how it came to be." "Me Funny is a very inclusive anthology that invites we non-natives into the many definitions of native humour, and what makes it so very poignant, and funny." "Me Funny uses equal parts humour with education, and provides a well-balanced look at First Nations humour."

"This collection of writings, popular from the start, has been on the market now for two months and has already hone into its second printing."

"The book's strongest pieces tend to... lead by example. These, and the between-chapter jokes labelled "astutely selected ethno-based examoles of cultural jocularity and racial comicalness," collectively make the book worth its cover price."

"The book, edited by Taylor, is something of a hybrid, with both scholarly essays and jokes about what aboriginals find funny." "...a book that manages to be both thoughtful and enjoyable..."

"By using humour to defuse stereotypes and dispel presumptions, more over, this fine and funny book invites listeners across conventional cultural divides. I say listeners, not just readers, because this humour draws its power from tone, pacing and repetition, the techniques of oral storytelling. It is performance on the page." "It's the performance that gives this book its energy. Performance invites everyone in, to listen. Everyone, because Me Funny is saying, "This book is funny." And as well as being a serious guide to storytelling, it IS funny. If you listen for how it tells ites stories, and can laugh alongside, then You Funny too."
