Everyone You Hate is Going to Die - Penguin Books Australia

He’s brilliant (the c*nt). He knows he doesn’t know everything about everything, and yet he has an amazing ability to take complex thoughts, make you view them from a new perspective, and while he’s at it, pigeon hole at least 7 wank jokes in there just in case you forgot he’s a cheeky knob. Loneliness is like most things in the world: You have to practice it to get good at it. Sometimes being alone is utter bliss. Once you get used to being alone, relationships really have to go out of their way to interest you. If you want to be in a relationship with me, you have to be better than being single."Okay so it's kinda baised review since I absolutely love Sloss but this book is worth your time I promise. That said, he is not an author... This book is a regurgitation of what he said in all of his specials - only more detailed and with less jokes. On top of that the book is tiresomely meta, where he talks on and on about his editors letting him put dirty words in and us the readers giving him our money for this attempt at a book (as he puts it). Then there are all the pauses to explain Scottish slang to Americans - what bugs me about this is that he always points out the explanation is specifically for Americans, as if other nations either know Scottish culture perfectly, don't read his book or don't matter. The main vibe he gives off is the third option although most likely it is the second.

One might question, why do I love Daniel Sloss this much? Genius comedian: to make you laugh but then after a few days you find yourself still thinking about his analogies and jokes because some shit he said was more than laughs. (JK It's the dark humor...) Honestly, my huge respect for Daniel Sloss comes from his Show X, which made me laugh my ass off and then cry myself to sleep. Touring the show more than 300 times in a span of a year to make sure the message gets out there is something that I appreciate dearly. But then I watched his other shows and it was my first time seeing someone using the same dark jokes and being honest about his shitty thoughts and that allowed me to be more true to myself I think. But there’s also some cringey stuff in here, and worse, some unfocused stuff. I think it could have used a bit more editing, perhaps been about a third shorter – the chapters about his toxic relationship is particularly painful, because he just rants in an angry way without giving many specifics, so there’s not a lot to grab onto.

It's a funny book and I'd definitely read another one from him - even if that, in his own words, makes me an idiot...

Sloss uses comedy as a means to not only make his fans laugh but also to raise critical questions about the way we act . . .”—Christina Zhao, Newsweek Giving this 4 stars because of how often it had me quite literally laughing out loud. Sometimes to the point of tears. And at situations described in such wildly inappropriate (to my Frail & Delicate Southern Flower ears) language! The lads chapter is discouraging. It’s like he *sees* toxic masculinity, and even uses the term, but he doesn’t really quite have the self awareness to see how his behavior perpetuates it. In another uncomfortable section, he talks about a male friend whom he believes committed sexual assault; this is also a really tough section to listen to because it’s painfully earnest and, to my way of thinking, he draws all the wrong conclusions: he pathologizes this person and makes them into a monster, missing the broader culpability of rape culture. It’s just not a problem Sloss can solve by ostracizing one dude and deciding there was always something funny about him anyway so that’s all dealt with. Politics aside, it seems like something he’s struggling with, and it’s uncomfortable to watch him process it in the context of a banter-y book. He does remind us that the book only contains his opinions, but i think he still has a lot of work to do to express these without sounding condescending or all-knowing (I'm talking here of course about the parts where he is serious, not when he is obviously sarcastic). Again this comes down to not being a writer - I find the one-hour special the perfect format for him to get his message across with a perfect delivery, but this train-of-thought no ending essay format is too much for him, I find. An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.

In general, there’s just a considerable immaturity that’s frustrating here. Early in the book, covering the same ground George Carlin and Lenny Bruce charted out ~a half century ago, he argues that words aren’t harmful – but y’know, a lot has happened since then, and it’s not the best look in 2022 to be the straight white male comedian explaining to the rest of the world how they’re too sensitive, and he can say what he wants as long as he says it without hatred. Yikes, yikes, yikes. One of this generation’s hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity.
