Review: Stuff You Should Know About Stuff by Tripp & Tyler

Stuff You Should Know About Stuff by Tripp & Tyler

Link to buy Stuff You Should Know About Stuff: How to Properly Behave in Certain Situations

Story Rating: 5 out of 5

Blurb:

Do you know how to properly conduct yourself in a public restroom?
What about while in the midst of a profoundly awkward silence?
Have you perfected how to get out of helping your friend move?

If you answered no to those questions, fear not. You need Stuff You Should Know About Stuff, the book that future anthropologists will no doubt call "the Rosetta Stone of handling trivial life situations."

From the sketch comedy duo who created the viral videos “Sh*t Nobody Says” and “Things You Can't Do When You’re Not in a Pool," Tripp and Tyler bring you the written word in Stuff You Should Know About Stuff, a guide instructing you how to navigate the treacherous waters of life’s odd quandaries.

There are even photos and illustrations for people who enjoy photos and illustrations and stuff like that. You can read it from cover to cover or you can choose to educate yourself only in conjunction with your bowel movements. Totally your call there.

Stuff You Should Know About Stuff places the priority on the trivial experiences of life, because that's where we spend most of our time; trying to recover from going for the fist bump when a casual acquaintance wanted a high five.

Review:

This is one incredibly funny book. These two guys are hysterical and are like the male equivalent of Erma Bombeck. I can only imagine what they are like out drinking on a Saturday night. They talk about real life situations that a lot of people won't even say out loud (like bare asses on hotel comforters-- a very legit concern in my opinion). 

Now while this book is written more for men, as a woman I still loved reading this. And when I mentioned a few examples from this book to a male friend I did get a few "F*ck yeah, they're right on." And the urinal illustration was confirmed as being 100% correct.

This book is highly recommended if you are looking for some real laughs.
