5.0 out of 5 stars Smart and Funny., December 31, 2006

By	Jimmy Colo "Phunny Man" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I read the Phat Phree fairly frequently, and I was a little concerned that this book would be just a collection of stuff I've already read. But it's not. Sure, there are some of the classic pieces like Striped Shirt and Huge Penis, but I was impressed with how good the new pieces are and how much of the book is new.

There are some stand out new pieces, like "I Will Get Off This Plane Before You", "I'm So Glad You Caught Me, Kid", "Damn, My Pencil-Thin Beard is Perfect", and "This Sunoco is Now Open", but the book is really funny from beginning to end. There are also new supplements and photos with a lot of the classics, like "Striped Shirt", that really make them new again.

All in all, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dead on social commentary, and no-holds-barred comedy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, keenly-observed compilation from The Phat Phree, February 28, 2007

By	Andy Orrock (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

'Look at My Striped Shirt' is a well-written, keenly-observed compilation of 'best of' humor taken from the popular web site, The Phat Phree. That site's credo - 'Target. Observe. Ridicule.' - is on great display here. Writers like Mike Polk, Charlie DeMarco, Jesse Lamovsky, Justin Harvey, Chris Queen - these guys are brilliant satirists and writers. It's a quick read, but one you'll be eager to share with friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is pretty damn funny..., January 11, 2007

By	Monkeyman316 (Mom's Basement, NY) - See all my reviews

If I was going to be trapped on a desert Island and I could only bring three items with me, I would bring a fully supplied fishing boat, a desalinization plant, and a harem of playboy playmates. I would not bring this book. It just wouldn't be practical.

But that scenario aside, it's a very funny book. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the site. Even if you've never been to the Phat Phree's website this book will not disappoint.

Take it from me (someone who clearly doesn't write for the Phat Phree) this book is great.
