Nye's humor is only occasionally too topical to be understood now. Hence it has lasted better than similar collections, such as Will Rogers' Literary Digest. Other obstacles to the modern reader, such as dialect humor (which he defends in an appended essay honoring James Whitcomb Riley, his partner on the talk circuit) and racial stereotyping, while not completely absent, are extremely limited. Nye, like Robert Benchley, excelled mixing silliness and self-deprecation, rarely hostile, with the exception of the actor mentioned above.
