Avoid this book unless you crave corny and woefully outdated 'insults' and 'jokes' (which were anything but funny). Have not read other books of this genre, so I cannot make a recommendation of another title. My only recommendation is NOT to buy this book.

I got one of the original 2000 insults book in the 60s through my school as a scholastic book. We all thought the insults were funny. Yep, it's dated. Folks did you really expect an old cheap joke book to be some sort of transformational masterpiece? Why don't you see it for what it is: a glimpse of the anthropology of '50s & '60 satire? Personally I still use a few that I remember from back then, my favorite that still goes down brilliantly is: "I bet mind readers charge you half-price".

A funny and witty book that will get your target stunned great book. I give a thumb and a half up!

The book is absolute, 100%, ......

I can't believe I wasted my cash on this stupid book. It shouldn't be on the market. The jokes, put-downs, and insults are extremely corny and severely lame.

TRUST ME! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that anyone other that a complete imbecile would think this book, or anything by Louis Safian, is worthy of anything more than one star! The only redeeming thing about this book is the fact most that the insults are so pathetically lame and out-dated that you can have a good chuckle by imagining the people who are genuinely amused by such utterly inane 'put downs' as "They call her ESKIMO MAID-she's always giving people the deep freeze" (and there's plenty more where that came from) have probably tried to use them at some time and, as a consequence, will surely be savagely ridiculed by anyone within earshot for the rest of his or her natural life as well as long after death. A special note to parents: because the 'humor' in this book is so incredibly feeble, ponderous and prosaic (and yet at the same time, strangely smug) it will have an irresistible appeal to children. Unless you want your son or daughter explaining to you and everyone you know, love or ever meet that "Your such a blockhead that you probably get a sliver in your finger whenever you scratch your head", DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD EVEN BECOME AWARE OF THIS BOOK'S EXISTENCE!

You will make them feel like they should have never messed with you!
