In all seriousness, Vance's best-known stuff, The Dying Earth or the Planet of Adventure novels, is pretty good stuff. He tends to explore alien mindsets and moralities in a way that is engaging and disconcerting at the same time. He always seemed like a cross between Stanislaw Lem and Edgar Rice Burroughs to me.
