### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    For That Geek in Your Life
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2011*

If you've haven't been introduced to "The Oatmeal," this is a great place to get acquainted with this hilariously abominable offspring of "The Far Side" and Dilbert.  Matt Inman's primitive drawings and cynical insight into the practical ("How to Use a Semicolon") and the absurd ("Why it Would Suck to Live Next to a Volcano") are almost as informative as they are funny; this kid is a creative genius that observes and skewers without boundary or apology (just consider the title).In addition to justifying that urge to punch a dolphin, Inman offers a wide range of valuable advice, including:"8 Reasons to Keep Canada as a Pet" (They're not picky eaters.)"Why it's Better to Pretend you Don't Know Anything About Computers"The Nine Types of Crappy Handshakes""How to Suck at Facebook" (Like the "Horrible Photo Tagger")And a couple of my all time favorites, " How a Web Design goes Straight to Hell," and "Why I'd Rather be Punched in the Testicles than Call Customer Service."And much, much, more.Yeah, yeah, I know you can get all of this stuff for free on TheOatmeal.com, but come on -  $8 bucks?  And what, you're going to give a url as a gift?  And think of the convenience of flipping through The Oatmeal in handy book form when you're on the can!Seriously, we can all benefit from Matt Inman's wisdom and twisted humor.  Buy this book.

    Good Source of Adult Humor
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021*

Another hilarious work by The Oatmeal, this book is a compilation of a variety of random subjects that the author pokes fun at. Some are actually educational, such as some trivia about cats and the history of cheese, among others, while a few others are just plain awful, like the section about the ways how to use a human corpse for decoration and tools (a joke, of course) and the pterodactyl poem, but it's otherwise perfect for anybody looking for a dose of politically incorrect (and somewhat dark) adult humor. Definitely NOT FOR CHILDREN.The book itself is made of thick, high quality glossy-type pages with excellent color printing, with a nice, soft but sturdy cover. Included inside is a folded poster poking fun at printers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Matthew Inman in all his glory
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014*

The only reason why I didn't give five stars to this book is because it looks pretty awful in the first Kindle edition. It gets really hard and blurry to read, so my first advice is: either buy the paperback version of this book or make sure you have a very recent version of Kindle. It should look better in a better-definition display.Regarding the contents, this book is hilarious. If you follow up with The Oatmeal's posts, you won't see many news here. This books is a compilation of the funniest and most useful posts (I personally find the Types of High Fives post extremely useful) and a couple of new ones (too bad that he didn't include the "What if your brain was your imaginary friend", because I really like that one). If you liked the posts on the site and feel like re-reading them, then sure, go ahead and grab this book.
