My God, I laughed so hard I cried. This book makes you keep reading and you can never put it down. It's like a comic book but it is a different kind of humor. Very cool. The best "Chicken Soup" book.

This neat little book is a breath of fresh air from the pedantic "feel-good" library of those irritating "Chicken Soup for the (FILL IN THE BLANK) Soul" books. I highly recommend this book those who have two or more of the aforementioned books. And if you sit down and think about it; who better to be sensitive to your needs and feelings than Beavis and Butthead?

I first discovered this book while browsing in the "bricks" rendition of Amazon's major competitor, and thought the premise alone was funny as hell. After all, the "Chicken Soup" movement had just gotten traction (and has since morphed into absurdity, with titles such as "Chicken Soup For The Hitman's Soul" -- just kidding), so it was a phenomenon ripe for lampooning.

I mentioned the discovery to my then-girlfriend and even requested it for a Christmas gift. Sadly, by the time she got around to buying it, it was no longer available. She even accused me of delusional behavior.

Reminiscing about her one evening led me to search for "Chicken Soup", and lo, it could be had as a used book. So good money was paid, and it was money well spent.

One could cite it as an example of a waning trend (Beavis and Butt-head) clashing with a rising trend (Chicken Soup For The Soul), and in my quite biased opinion, B&B won that battle.

Despite their limited vocabulary, B&B take apart Chicken Soup and pretty much the touchy-feely pop psyche movement as a bunch of hooey that people often preach but seldom practice.

Though a B&B book will never approach their "epichodes", especially the pre-commercial (that is, before complete MTV assimilation and de-lousing) stuff (e.g. "Frog Baseball"), it is acceptable to this B&B fan.

Finally a book that pokes some much needed holes in the pompus windbags of the self-help market. I laughed every page of this book. Often I laughed several times per page.

Rhenigold and Sonneborn are the Fitzgerald and Hemingway of the 90's. You'll laugh, you'll cry and then laugh again.

Whether you're a Beavis and Butthead fan or not, you'll agree---these guys know how to make you laugh! Try it (and buy one or more for your friends). You won't be disappointed.

Chicken Soup for the butt is the most hilarios and Silly book! It is very well wirtten (just kiddin) but if you love beavis and butthead this book is a "MUST HAVE"

If you love to watch Beavis and Butthead, then this book is for you! It is such a great book! I had so much fun reading this book because it is so funny.

To use a butthead phrase from his movie "Beavis and butthead do america" :

THIS SUCKS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE SUCKED BEFORE

Dont buy it . Dont even accept it as a gift.I think thats pretty clear . Its for books like this , that Amazon need to place a 0-star rating.
