Summary: Somewhat amusing, somewhat disappointing
Review: A good book to read once, but I regret buying it. While most of the stories are fun, they are (mostly?) urban legends. The book "Darwin Awards" was better since it told which stories were confirmed to be true. I was also disappointed by misinformation in the book, even with my education I knew many things to be false. At times the author's attitude is presented too strongly. All in all, not a bad book, but I still prefer the "Darwin Awards" series of books when I want to laugh at human stupidity.

Summary: Hit the nail on the head
Review: Bob Fenster has captured it all right here. The humor outlined in this book is topped only by Mr. Fenster's insight. How appropriate that this book come out around the Holidays, as it makes the perfect gift for any thinking person.

Summary: Absolutely hilarious!
Review: Bob Fenster's DUH is a remarkable piece which demonstrates that the funniest characters are those which are real. Parts of this are absolute screams. DUH would make an excellent Christmas gift for anyone on your list who likes THE ONION, Dave Barry, Jerry Seinfeld, or Monty Python.

Summary: With a grain of salt
Review: First, if you can tolerate a book with such a title in your bookshelf, continue reading. This book is divided in three parts: Chronicles, questions and advice. The contents of the first one, the longest, are just too much... stupid. Unbelievable stupid. Surely you have already heard or read about many of them, but others will look to you just as inventions of someone to get attention (you remember those guys in junior high, don't you?). The second part is very similart to the first one. It tries always to show that everyone in earth is stupid.
Just as in the first part, I realized that even it's a small book and easy to read (two lines to one page per chronicle), I become saturated after some minutes. The third and last part becomes much better than the others. It gives you some interesting advice, though I cannot say how useful it would be for you. If, by chance, you run out of topics for conversation, this book would give you plenty of them, but take them all with a grain of salt (be skeptic). I don't think it would be easy to find support for the hundreds of anecdotes in this book, that is, sources to show them true.

Summary: 1 star???
Review: I don't even know the guy who gave this one star, but just reading his commentary makes me believe he should be chapter 1 in this book.

Summary: Speaking of stupid
Review: I don't even need to read this book. Another stupid person whom did not study their biology. Humans are a "species," not a "race." If we were A "race," then there wouldn't be racism, now would there?
I see this mistake everywhere and it drives me nuts! How can someone write a book about evolution, even as a satire, and get the entire premise wrong!

Summary: Fun in the Extreme!
Review: I really enjoyed many great laughs reading about the truly funny "duh" people and situations. Better than any sit-com! But if you've ever wondered how some of the "duh" and "dastardly" characters end up in management and what havoc they can wreak there, then I'd like to recommend adding not only the well-known Onion, but also one more hilarious, superbly produced book to your reading list..."Management by Vice" (C.B. Don)! There sure is a lot of good "duh" material out there in the workplace!

Summary: The perfect Christmas gift!
Review: If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift, this one-size-fits-most book is jam packed with delightful gems of human stupidity. It's an easy read filled with one stupid anecdote after another. Designed to keep you in stitches, while at the same time you struggle to accept how totally absurd humans can be, it more than delivers. (The infamous Florida butterfly ballot is destined for a future edition.) Mr. Fenster's "How to Destupify" section is particularly clever and challenging. Bravo to Mr. Fenster for this amusing and entertaining collection of historical, I mean hysterical, significance. The next time you feel like crying, turn to any page in this book and enjoy a good belly laugh instead. Like most of you, I've engaged in my share of lame, stupid acts. However, buying this book is one of the smartest things I've ever done.
