The trouble with Munchkin I've always had is that for every hilarious situation like the one you've described, there's two or three like when a friend purchased Super Munchkin having never played any of them, and we ended up playing two hours of "kill whoever is in the lead" until everyone got bored and quit. Much like the b-movie card games from Z-Man, and a lot of SJG's card game offerings, you get out of it what you put in, provided that what you put in is good humor and very little competitive spirit.
