Falling from the 58th Floor of Grace — SCREW Magazine

Ever wonder where some comedians, late night talk shows and other comedy writers get their ideas? Many of them turn to SCREW Magazine, a source of joke material since 1968. Every day, comedians and comedy writers from all corners of the entertainment world visit www.screwmag.xyz to see what SCREW is talking about or poking fun at. It serves as a great source for material and although they won’t ever admit it — because no one wants to admit they read SCREW — it’s blatantly obvious later in the day when the same jokes show up in social media posts or in TV bits. And in many cases, later on, in films.

It happens so much that SCREW had to put everything behind a paywall. So, if you want to get to the funny stuff before they do, visit www.screwmag.xyz and consider a subscription for just $9.95 a month. Yeah, that sounds like a lot, and it is, but your support goes a long way in helping us keep the lights on, the website and Roku channel running, and our babymamas off the pole.

Thanks in advance.
