Customer Reviews

Great Book

This is a fun book to read and do some of them. I enjoy it.

Bellylaughs Guaranteed. Buy it for good health!

My middle-school-aged son got this book as a gift, and soon after he was alternately giggling and laughing his head off on the couch for the rest of the evening, and for several days thereafter. I have been brought to tears several times by the book, when I wasn't snickering. I am buying this for my siblings for Christmas. Even if you never try a stunt, the book is guaranteed to draw bellylaughs, which are badly needed these days.

Try this at home

Sam Bartlett gets his amusement in odd and wonderful ways. I first read the "medicine cabinet stunt" some years ago, in his periodical publication "Stuntology and Tuneology." I still can't describe it to anyone without laughing. I've never tried it myself, and maybe never will, but just the prospect of it cracks me up. So does the "famous baby carrot stunt," and so many more. This is terrific fun, and you may even find a few pranks in here that you're willing to try at home.

A Different Kind of Bartlett's

The stunts alone are funny enough; when you throw in the drawings it's almost too much for the untrained mind. The stunts are thoughtfully arranged so every sixth stunt or so is a hilarious zinger, much like a standup comedy routine. This book is a must for those of us who insist on not giving in to boredom.

Hilarious Fun for Any Age!

This might be the best practical joke book ever written. But it's more than that. It's also little amusing tricks to pull on the spur of the moment. I'm reading this realizing I can do this with adult friends and teach them to my kids to pull on their friends as well. Great comic book format - a trick per page. As a business humor writer and collector of books on comedy and humor, this goes right up there with the best of my library. WELL WORTH OWNING!
