Making A Monkey Out Of "The Man" How does Bill Gates respond when you try to kiss him on the nipple? What are the consequences of sending in your tax return, filled out entirely in roman numerals? What happens when you wake up e-mail spammers with 4:00 a.m. phone calls? Action-packed and stocked with laughs, Prank the Monkey follows the quest of one crusader of justice as he dishes out revenge on the world's biggest-and most deserving-targets. Superprankster John Hargrave goes after Wal-Mart, pompous celebrities, and the entire U.S. Senate in this outrageously funny book, exposing them for the chimps they really are-and shows you how to do the same. This premiere volume features dozens of all-new pranks, more ambitious than any attempted to date, plus updated versions of the stunts that made ZUG famous.

Just Okey

ByEddie WannabeeVINE VOICEon November 4, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Bought it on the enthusiasm displayed by fellow reviewers. Some of the pranks are highly elaborate but somehow I expected more out of the book. There are some laughs to
be had and I do appreciate the irreverence this author has for the large and small targets of his wit. You have to acknowledge that there are very few in this line of work and for that I congratulate him. More like a 3.5 but not as funny as I thought it would turn out to be. I can only imagine this is a serious job for it does take a lot of diligence and perseverance to keep at, it but mostly it takes the kind of playful nature this author has in abundance. Some moments in the book much better than others but overall I do agree with need more of Sir John Hargrave's Prank the Monkey: The ZUG Book of Pranks kind of books, because after all if you can not enjoy a good laugh at messing around with the IRS, WalMart, etc., then we would all walk around being much to serious to be fun at all. Well definitely visit his website for who knows what he might write or say in the near future. Do not regret the purchase and the book itself was nicely presented. Worth the money and perhaps I am being too harsh with my rating for like I mentioned above, these kind of individuals are rare and few and we need all we can get! Come to think of it, for that alone, 4 Stars!
PS: I do not know what the problem is with Amazon but I certainly did not create the gap between.."There are some laughs to be had.." and the big space after.

Funny read

ByC. Vieiraon August 10, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is quite a funny book. Some of the author's pranks are incredible and I can't believe he got away with some of the things he did. The book is written by prank so you can read it at your leisure. I didn't read this straight through, I would just pick and choose until I finished it. If you're looking for a great book to relieve some stress I definitely recommend this.

Most Hilarious book I've read in years... possibly ever!

ByVinon March 20, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Not for the easily offended, but this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I had people looking at me funny on the plane as I was constantly busting out laughing relatively loud every few minutes.

John Hargrave is certifiable as a nutcase. I laughed until I was in tears.

Funniest book I've read

ByO. Lopezon June 3, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was delayed at an airport for 4 hrs, and decided to buy this book at the bookstore. I could not put it down. It made me forget I was so angry for being delayed. Besides his pranks being top notch, his writing really makes you identify with his perspective. You actually also learn a few interesting facts about how particular services or companies work (like how to rid yourself of junk mail). This is a great book; highly recommended.

This Book Changed My Life

ByThe_Fiferon March 26, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was a high corporate muckety-muck when I first stumbled upon a website called zug dot com, a writer named Sir John Hargrave and a book called Prank the Monkey. Now I'm a part-time clean up man in the private stalls of a pornographic book store. More importantly, though, I have joy in my heart, and an impressive collection of obsolete woodwind instruments.

I love you, Alan Natanagara. And you're not half bad either, Sir John.

Not Worth It

ByKimon February 15, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased this book, as I love pranking people and watching people laugh. This book had many positive reviews, so I purchased a copy for myself. Less than a handful of these pranks had me laughing out loud. But as I continued on, the "pranks" were just downright mean, rude and actually mentally tortured students. These kinds of pranks are not funny. Some were traumatizing, while others were just plain ridiculous. And the amount of money it took for this guy to pull off some of these pranks was such a waste! Donate to a charity or to some starving people for God's sake! 95% of this book was just stupidity. Save your money.....and if anyone knows of a great practical joke book, by all means, let me know.....

Zug for life.

Published on November 22, 2014 by Sean Follett

Not as funny as his website was, but still pretty funny.

Sadly John Hargrave took down his comedy prank site, zug.com. If you were a fan like I was of it, you'll probably enjoy this book.Read more

Published on September 21, 2014 by Matt

Sadly, one of the only places to read ZUG material.

The ZUG.Com site shut down in April of 2013, and sadly, almost none of the material was archived, except the small amount found in this book. At least it is something.

Creative insanity

John Hargrave is one of the most creative pranksters out there. The audacity of some of these stunts blows my mind.Read more

Very Funny

Any book that can get you to "laugh out loud" is worth a buy and this page-turner does that. While some of the pranks are more cerebral or just playful rather than raucously...Read more
