Funny for all the wrong reasons
By Brian Connors
You know what really grinds my gears? Lazy comedians who make fun of things they can’t be bothered to, you know, Google. (Also, even lazier comedians who start self-referential jokes with a really obvious cliche, but that’s neither here nor there.)
The premise of this book is fairly interesting — type partial search strings into Google and pick out the strangest suggestions for string completions. Frequently the authors manage to find something good, but every once in a while they manage to come up with things that, well, aren’t funny. And that’s where the real humor in this book lies — the authors missing a pop cultural reference or something like that and making idiots of themselves in front of the reader.
This book isn’t trying very hard, and as a result I’m not going to try very hard with this review. There’s just not much point in buying it; someone else will probably come up with exactly the same thing a year from now, and likely do it better.

Boring, dull, and just plain stupid
By NYReviews
Authors like this have too much time on their hands, we’re going to type in a search and see if anything funny pops up and put it in a book…… Just what we need right? another lazy author… i’m going to put minimum effort in this review as the author did with this book. Kendall Almerico please stick to your day job and leave the writing to a professional..

Really dumb
By Kelly
These authors didn’t bother to research any of the “searches” before making fun of them to see if there were actually things that would legitimately need to be looked up. Case in point, they make fun of people searching for “Does a tiger wear a necktie?” Well, if the person was looking for the play by Don Peterson which starred Al Pacino then yes, that is actually what they were looking for, and for good reason. Duh, just because you aren’t aware of something doesn’t make it stupid.
