5.0 out of 5 stars
Arguably the greatest book ever written,
By
This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
The "War and Peace" of my generation.
I was torn between the abject beauty of Hotts contrasted with the nausea inducing Douches. On second reading, I wondered, "Are the douchebags really childlike in their quest for acceptance? Are they not victims of one to many 'Rock of Love' episodes?" Perhaps, but in the end they are still Douches. Do they know their fashion comes from the gay underground? I'm repulsed, yet intriged. Still, one must marvel at the dedication of the douche to their craft. Tattoos, fake tans, and even the haircuts are things that normal men wouldn't allow happen to them, let alone seek out. A star on the bicep or a faux-hawk. But these DB's wear them with pride. It's tragic to look at a bunch of clubing man-whores trying to stand out so much that they all look the same. [...]

This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
I totally disagree with the One Star comment. The fact you can get much of the material for free on his site (and goes the commenter's point, why spend money on the book) is irrelevant. I love the site and even if the book contained nothing but material already there, i'd still buy it to support the author.
however the book is chock full of stuff not on the site. There's a great narrative throughout which shows his walk through searching for his inner douche. His insights are dead on and face it, pretty much every guy on earth has found himself scratching his head in amazement at this phenomenon. The book catagories each douche and offers brilliant and biting insight in the process. The pictures of the Hotts are superb and showing them on the glossy paper is a great touch. I can't think of a better Coffee Table book to have - so I guess that makes me a douche according to some of the commenters. Well, if that makes me one, I'm proud of it.

Hilarious, well-written and intelligent!,

This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
I have to admit that when I heard this book was coming out, I had my doubts about the quality. I was a big fan of the site, but honestly, what could the author add to the pictures that were already available online?
This volume, however, was a very pleasant surprise, and let me assure you that yes, it is well worth buying, even (or especially?) if you are a fan of the site. The author weaves a funny yet quite insightful and intelligent narrative throughout this text, and while there is plenty of humor, there are a number of astute sociological observations that give it added depth. Make no mistake, this is not a scholarly work, but the elegant and polished prose with which the author presents an admittedly low-brow subject is refreshing. And hey, he mentions Lacan! The pictures are, of course, the main draw here, and they do not disappoint. The wide variety of subjects is as hilarious as it is depressing, and is very well organized and presented. Definitely a worthy read!

This book is really great/funny/quirky/smart and nuts,
By The Goose is OUT "Shug" (East Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
HOT CHICKS WITH DOUCHEBAGS is really smart, quirky, edgy and a real howl. DB1 knows how to get in there and make you laugh, twist your mind and it's a great approach to pop culture insanity, while poking, chiding and being academic -- rolling it all into one hilarious joke. You can read it through all at once or flip through it choad by chaod. There is something for everyone in this book. I bought 20 copies for gifts. It's a deal and the 4 color photos and large format look like it's worth a lot more than the going price.
Whoever this guy is, I can't wait for book two. WHat a HOOOT

This generation's War and Grease,
By DarkSock (Biloxi, MS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
Buy it, for the children. Before, in the words of Neville Chamberlain, we have "grease in our time".
Do it for the children. And one-star guy can felate a mailbox.

This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
I try to spread the gospel of www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com (the author's website) as much as possible. The book is hilarious, but also seeks to educate the reader on a disturbing trend in America and the world. Namely the transformation of men into douchebags in their quest to obtain the hotties. At only around $12 on Amazon it makes a great coffee book and conversation piece, plus its highly entertaining.

Like Pliny the Elder, if he wrote about the history of Douche,
By Eric Garland "Helping you anticipate and prof... (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
Dr. Jay Louis is clearly one of the world's premiere anthrodouchologists, producing here a work that will remain one of the cornerstones of modern social science for millennia to come. Tying together our Cro-'Bagnon roots, the Bhagavad Gita, Moby Dick, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Doucheness, New Kids on the Block, and the proliferation of super-premium vodka, Dr. Louis functions both as therapist for all societies everywhere looking to heal themselves, and also as an epidemiologist warning us of a plague that may have no end in sight, leaving no man's daughter unBleethed.
This work could not be more timely, as we rebuild our tattered financial system, rend asunder an increasingly corrupt healthcare industry, and finally attempt a process of de-douchification in New Jersey. Dr. Louis' greatness is truly meant for such an era of rampant scrote. Obama should make a cabinet position for him immediately: The Douche Czar.

Are we not men??????????,
By Brian S. (Orange, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
I too have verbally railed against the frosty faux-hawks and douchey tattoos thrust upon us by these packs of roaming heathens, seemingly to no avail. I feel like Mugatu in Zoolander, "Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"?
A larger study must be done on what attracts alleged hotties to this offensive set. The author touches on these themes, and I have my theories but alas it may exceed the scope of this course. I will however drop one hint, that it is my personal educated opinion at least a significant subset of these females, are actually lady douchebags in disguise (the cover art hints at this with the wraparound shades). The best revenge? Insult them convincingly or show them up in a series of moves, to steal their girlfriends. They were going to leave them anyway, as soon as they earned enough to quit their job at the local Dairy Queen or Hot Dog on A Stick. Let us unite and rally against being subjected to further douchebaggery, my brothers! Are we not men?????????

All of my friends that come over read this book and just crack up. You never know if you're going to see one of your friends or old high school friend in this book. I would totally recomend this book for a coffee table book and entertainment.

This review is from: Hot Chicks with Douchebags (Paperback)
This book was not meant to be taken seriously. Those who do take it serious, however, will not enjoy it.
The book is funny on all levels. The wording itself made me laugh, aside from the pics, and was surprised that the writer himself wasn't a recovering "douchebag", hence the 4 stars. He is some guy who has a hard time with women. But funny stuff, nevertheless. |
