this is really funny!

Dumb Ideas: A Behind-the-Scenes Exposé on Making Pranks and Other Stupid Creative Endeavors by Eric André and Dan Curry is a hilarious illustrated compendium about the art of pranking. This is the first audiobook I listened to via my Spotify Premium account, and it's narrated by the authors, Eric's mom, and various others. There are tons of audio bits and ad libs as the authors narrate. The production value is very high quality. I lost count how many times I laughed out loud while I was listening and following along in the physical book for the photos, illustrations, and other visual references. The book opens with a legalese READER RELEASE AND AGREEMENT which had me howling with laughter even before I got to the foreblurb (read and written by Jack Black, one of my favorites). If you're a fan of the Adult Swim series The Eric Andre Show, or even if you're not and you just want to laugh for a few hours, please check this out. I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to Simon Books and Simon and Schuster for the free hardcover. All opinions contained herein are my own.
