National Lampoon has become synonymous with comedy for as long as moviegoers can remember. The production house, which began as a satirical magazine created by Douglas Kenney, Henry Beard, and Robert Hoffman, grabbed attention from those seeking a comedic outlet with its publication in the 1970s.

That was when National Lampoon dipped its toes into the movie-making pool.
