National Lampoon, Inc. is a company formed in 2002 in order to use the brand name "National Lampoon" in comedy and entertainment following the tradition of its magazine predecessor, The National Lampoon. In the words of its prospectus, the role of the company was to "develop, produce, provide creative services and distribute National Lampoon branded comedic content through a broad range of media platforms."
Since 2002, the company has overhauled its corporate infrastructure several times, with two former CEOs — Dan Laikin and Tim Durham — being convicted of financial crimes related to the company. As of 2024, National Lampoon, Inc. appears to be moribund.
