Book Description

Release date: October 30, 2012
Two veterans of offbeat Internet humor hilariously combine the mindless fun of children's coloring books with the mind-numbing realities of modern adult life

With over 200 comedy videos and 75 million Youtube views to their credit, Ryan Hunter and Taige Jensen know how to make people laugh. Their YouTube video, "Hipster Olympics" racked up nearly three million hits and quickly attained worldwide cult status, which led to opportunities to create original content for Comedy Central, MTV, College Humor,  the Huffington Post, The Onion and Slate. Now, the duo put their prolific creative talents to work in Coloring for Grown-Ups. The artwork resembles that of a children's activity book, while actually offering an ironic look at the stereotypes, habits, and challenges of modern adulthood. Coloring for Grown-Ups includes more than 50 fun activities, such as:

* 6 Steps for Compromising Your Integrity and Goals!
* "Hipster or Homeless?"
* Color the Potential Terrorists!
* Draw the person you thought you'd grow up to be before you abandoned all your hopes and dreams!

Darkly humorous--and fun for any occasion --Coloring for Grown-Ups is the perfect stocking stuffer for reluctant adults of any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars I intend to order several more copies for gifts November 25, 2012
By Brian Kaufman, Dr. Knoze
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a clever, humorous, and silly coloring book that provokes without being totally inappropriate. Just inappropriate enough.
I especially like that it is not simply a coloring book for adults, but that many of the pages contain activities that require and inspire some creative thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars " Hilarious........ So Much More Than Coloring".......... December 14, 2012
By Robin Lee TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My husband saw this advertised in "The Times" gift section and wanted it. It's hilarious and a great conversational piece! There's coloring, puzzles, find a word, and connect the dots. I have not seen or touched a connect a dot since I have been a child. It's adult content, but not innappropriate. Ex: A maze with how to, "Dodge The Debt Collectors", "Help the Homeless Man", just so much more.....

You not only coloring, thinking, but you can change the way you want to view the world, in continous comical situations! Well worth the money! This really makes a great Christmas gift....

Ordering for a few friends and co-workers that need a little laughter and up-lifting in life. Excellent!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracked Me Up! November 13, 2012
By Maria Pergolino
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is pure awesome. A great mix of fun and inappropriate (in the right kind of way) humor. Great to look through, even if you don't color the pages in. I'm coloring mine and sending the pages to my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and fun! April 23, 2013
By kamcalste
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm basically a kid at heart because I still love coloring and coloring books. This one is hilarious and makes me feel a lot less childish while I'm workin' on it. The illustrations are top notch and easy to color in. And the subject matter is definitely wickedly dark and hilarious at times. I recommend a big box of crayons for this one, though - the drawings are more detailed than they look at first glance and I find myself constantly running out of options with my little 24 pack of Crayola.

Definitely well worth the purchase, either way!
