Guest Reviewer: Seth MacFarlane
Seth MacFarlane is best known for creating the animated sitcoms Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.
Reading In Fifty Years Well All Be Chicks opened my eyes to three things: 1) Adam is a top-notch complainer, probably the best in the world, 2) America is in serious trouble, and 3) Adam is hilarious.
Adam uses this book to break down our societal shortcomings using the combination of logic and humor that hes perfected. He made me glad that I never leave the house. Going out entails interacting with the general public, and the general public is dumb (no offense to those of you in the general public). And when I say dumb, I dont mean the innocent kind of dumb like a dog that thinks his reflection is another dog. I mean the dangerous kind of dumb, like Lennie in Of Mice and Mengood-natured, mentally limited, and tremendously powerful. You leave your house one morning to get groceries, and you end up getting your neck accidentally broken by the guy giving you directions out of the parking lot.
In Fifty Years Well All Be Chicks is less of a book, and more of a guide for how to be a better man and/or woman (mostly man). Buy this book. Dont buy it because I told you to; buy it because its funny. Buy it if you think Phillips Head is an alt rock band or if you wear V-neck T-shirts. Definitely buy it if you call appetizers tapas or if LOL is anywhere in your vocabulary. Buy this book and study it.
''Adam Carolla is a genius. And no, I'm not kidding.''
--Jimmy Kimmel
''Reading Adam Carolla is akin to having a horrible illness. Alone with your thoughts, you struggle with whether you want to even go on living. When you're done, you're a stronger, better person.''
--Alec Baldwin
''If youre a man, read this book. If youre a man who wears turtlenecks, wise up. Nobody thinks that looks good.''
--Seth MacFarlane
I dont know this guy from Adam, but Carollas humorfearlessly crass, shamelessly honest and irresistibly funnysucks out like liposuction the layers of fatty pride to expose the often warped and wounded psyche buried deep within the modern American male.
--Ken Burns
''If comedy books were big-breasted porn stars,_ In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks_ would be Christy Canyon.''
