Jokes Every Man Should Know (Stuff You Should Know) Hardcover – February 1, 2008

I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my dad. He hasn't received it yet but I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it. I, of course, had to preview the book and enjoyed most the jokes I read. Out of the, let's say ten, jokes I read, most were the longer (but not too long; just a few paragraphs) story-type, all were new to me and all were funny. There will be a few groaners, and the adult-only jokes are conveniently marked with a darkly bordered page. My only complaint is that the book is a little smaller that I realized -- roughly 4"x6" where the text may be a little small for older eyes. All in all, a good buy and a great gift for any joke-ster who may need some friendly tips and a new repertoire.

So I was a little skeptical about this mini pocket companion, but I went ahead and got it as a stocking stuffer for my dad. I figured despite his incredible memory for jokes that there would be some in here that he hadn't heard before and I was right!A lot of the jokes are 'story like' and need to be told from the book unless you can summarize them to re-tell in an "ultimate joke opportunity" kind of situation. Some are a little rude and only adult appropriate which you can only expect from a book about jokes every man should know.Most people will see from the related searches which pop up that this book is part of a series. There are some that I much ruder so I find this one in good taste and we had some laughs with friends when the book came out.

I put this is my husband's stocking for Christmas. He keeps it in the car glove box and tells me jokes when we carpool together to work. He even finds a couple for our kids in there every once in a while (What's brown & sticky? A stick!). Most of them are really funny and ones we haven't heard before. I'll be picking up a few more copies for Grandpa and my brothers.

Pretty Awful stuff: recycled 1950’s-type material featuring an embarrassingly outdated White Christian Hetero-centric worldview that is decidedly unfunny. I somehow ordered this by mistake after reading a sample on my Kindle. I might send it back, but I worry that, then, someone else may accidentally read it.I updated my rating from 1 star to 3, ‘cause I discovered that several of these jokes are way more fun to tell than they are to hear told. It can be almost like a sadistic pleasure watching people wince at the punchlines.

Love this book! Great jokes that spans so many different subjects. I've already used it on several occasions to start conversations, fill time, etc.

I first bought this for myself years ago and have referred it when I need a joke to get people laughing. I bought this as a 2nd copy to give my Dad for his 70th birthday. I am sure he will find many off-color (and family-friendly) uses for it.

I don't even feel like wasting too many words on a review of this book. It is NOT FUNNY. I think I cracked a smile over one of the jokes. Aside from that, this book fails to amuse. Save your money for something else.

The book is nicely made and feels good in your hand. Beyond that it's pretty sad. The book claims it's not full of raunchy jokes, so I don't know what they consider raunchy but we have a different definition. I'm not saying every joke is raunchy but there are enough of them peppered in there that it's not worth the read. I've read other books from the publisher like "Stuff Every Man Should Know" and they are pretty good little books. This one is a sad addition to those. Not funny, you're better of going to the dollar store and buying a joke book there.
