This is too funny! So far, I think that the Lutefisk Tarot, the Lord of the Flies Tarot, and the Tarot of the Ancient Celtic Cat People Who Become Dragons are my favorites, but everyone's suggestions have me smiling and roaring!
In the spirit of divinerguy's "Ancient Celtic Cat..." tarot, might I also suggest the "Angelic Native American Healing Vampires of Avalon Tarot?" (Not surprisingly, it's a collage deck.)
Here's a few other ideas (includes several references to people, places, and things from American culture, with apologies to our friends in Europe, Australia, Canada, and elsewhere):
- The Robin Wouldn't Tarot
- I Thoth I Thaw a Puthy Cat Tarot, by Aleister Crowley and Chuck Jones
- The Xerox Tarot
- Mao Tse-Tungian Tarot
- The Dental Hygiene Tarot (the minor arcana suits are plaque, gingivitis, tooth decay, and halitosis; the major arcana includes "The Loose Dentures" for the "Tower" card, and "Root Canal" for the "Death" card...)
- Servants of Cthulu Tarot (oops! I forgot... it's been done, but they called it the "Lovecraft Tarot")
- The Xerox Tarot
- The Arbor Day Tarot (hey... the Halloween tarot is a best-seller, why not other holidays?)
- JAR-WROT Cards ("Just Another Rider-Waite Rip-Off Tarot")
- The Washingtonian Tarot of St. Helens
- The Hideous Virgin-Seducing One-Horned Beasts Tarot
- Tarot of the Reasonably Competent Apprentice
- The Francis Bacon Tarot (although there are some tarot scholars who claim that Bacon is actually featured in two other tarots commonly thought to pay tribute to another 17th century playwright...)
- The Xerox Tarot
- Tarot of the Flatulent Teddy Bears (it sounded cute at the time, but it turns out that it really stinks!)
- The Ancient Minchiate of Schnectady
- Tarot for Chia Pets
- The Xerox Tarot
- The Silicon Implant Tarot
- The Arthur Anderson Tarot (although you'd better count the cards immediately after you buy it, to make sure there really are 78 of them)
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Tarot (has the words "Don't Panic" written in large, friendly letters on the outside of the box)
- Omaggio a Undershorts
- The IRS Tarot (on April 15th, you have to send somewhere between 10 and 38.6 percent of the cards to the government, depending on how many other tarots you own)
- The Xerox Taro
- The Ken Burns Tarot (to be released one card at a time over 78 consecutive nights)
- B.O.T.A. Lite Tarot (one-third less gematria than regular B.O.T.A. tarots)
- The Xerox Tar
- The Tarot-Based-On-A-Japanese-Anime-That-Nobody's-Ever-Heard-Of Tarot
- The Spam Tarot (it ends up in your collection, whether you want it or not)
- The Franklin Mint Tarot (a lot like the Ken Burns Tarot, except the cards are released only once every other month, and you have to pay for each one as you receive it -- but you can cancel at any time)
- The Hubble Telescope Tarot (it lets you see farther into the future than any other tarot, but the results are rather fuzzy)
- The Xerox Ta
(It appears that my monitor is running out of toner, so I guess I'd better stop for now... tee hee!...)
