I have to agree, it does take effort on the listeners part, but that is what makes it so good. It is more a comedy of the mind, I wonder if that is why we liked it so much back then? I still listen to my Lp's and hear things that I have missed, even though I have listened to them many times in the past.

The production values of their albums are amazing, they make a lot of literary references, sometimes current topics, more often world history and culture, their "punch lines" involve saying the thing you least expect to hear.
If you love MST3K and Montly Python, you might love Firesign.
