There are about six comics I can think of right off the top of my head that are interchangeable in both art style and humor to the comics in this book*. I would say one out of every four comics were amusing here, but the other three of four felt forced and too determined to be shocking. Never actually was shocked (takes a lot to phase me), but it did bore the heck out of me at points. If it wasn't bright red and staring at me every time I went to the bathroom I don't think I would have read it ...more

Fairly funny, but this book just blows by too quickly. To be fair, this is because I couldn't stop looking at the next page, but also because each page takes about ten seconds to digest. The comics are largely offensive and disgusting, but funny nonetheless.

it looked provocative and daring but after i reached the midway point, i realized that about 10% of the "cartoons" are actually funny. the rest are just mean and at the level of a drunk who thinks he's funny.

recommends it for: Anyone that likes my sense of humor :)
This book is full of ridiculous stick figure drawings that make me laugh hysterically...I think you need a certain sense of humor to find it funny though...possibly a sick one :)

This book is something like Shrigley without any hint of the sublime. Obscene, juvenile, tasteless, and occasionally very funny.

Some of this is wet your pants funny. Some is heavy handed. I wouldn't let my kid read it but I enjoyed it.

Reminds me of Cyanide and Happiness (web comic).

Non-American humour (such as this book) cracks me up.

Freakin' hilarious. Some of the drawings a little crude, but most of them are side-splitters
