This was a great book and would recommend it to anyone who likes Jimmy Fallon. I love his style of humor and it is evident on every hilarious page. I just wish the book was longer!

This review is from: I Hate This Place: The Pessimist's Guide to Life (Paperback)

Jimmy Fallon is a pretty funny guy on SNL I think, even if he laughs in his sketches too much. This book misses the mark though, I hate to say.

I suspect most people who enjoy this generic brand of cynicism also found Chandler to be the "deep" one on Friends. In fact, he is a lot like this book. Gets a few laughs at first by mocking some easy targets, but after ten minutes I can call every uninspired line he'll say.

If this kind of comedy is your "bag", hop in your Jetta, put in the I Love the 80s CD (for irony of course! only if people ask though, because this isn't clever irony anyway....) and head down to the bookstore.

I won't bother to mimic the pedestrian one-liners in this book. The bottom line is, it just is not funny. Read more
