We all know Drew Carey from his award-winning stand-up career, and his hit television show, but do we really Drew Carey, the person? In his first book, the bawdy and irreverent DIRTY JOKES AND BEER, find out about all the many sides to this misunderstood Hollywood star: The Health Conscious Drew: They say that exercise and proper diet are the keys to a longer, healthier life. Oh well...Watch for my next book, "How I Died While Jogging." Drew the Lover: I read the Forum letters in Penthouse thinking that I could learn from them. I remember thinking sometimes when I was having sex, "Lets see now. How did 'Surprised in Cincinnati' do it?"...If a Playboy Playmate said in her questionnaire that she liked a guy in tight pants, I would go out and buy some tight pants. If she said she liked well-endowed men with big muscles and hairy chests, I would cry. And Drew's formula that took him from a lonely teenager to a successful mega- star...avoid cheap cologne and cheesy bikini underwear. Don't expect sex on the first date, and never pay more than twenty dollars for a lap dance. All this, plus a section that Drew calls "...kind of Drew Carey in the Fourth Dimension [but] still close enough to the real Drew to scare me." This audiobook contains adult language.… (more)

A very strange little book. Part autobiography, part dirty jokes, part fictional stories, all together odd, or should I say all together Drew. Nothing special here, if you like Drews stuff, you'll probably like this book. If you don't read it, you're not missing anything special. Just another knocked off the bookshelf. ( )

Thanks for the laughs, Drew. My favorite joke as I remember it: A snail comes to the door of a man. He throws it. Three years later there's a knock on the man's door. It's the snail. "What's up with that?" ( )

More dirty jokes would be helpful. Not interesting enough to finish, but someday may resurrect from the storaqe unit.

There are three distinct parts to this book: Dirty Jokes, Beer, and Stories of the Unrefined.

Dirty Jokes is his section for ranting about stuff. Each chapter starts with a dirty joke (except for the 101 Big Dick Jokes which is just a list of big dick jokes) and the follows with something close to his typical stand up routine. This is Drew as stand up comedian section. It's the most crass of all the book and in some regards the funniest. The 101 Big Dick jokes are all fairly tame and can be broke into types of dick jokes: dick as celebrity, dick as 'eighth wonder of the world' and dick as conjoined twin.

Beer is Drew's more serious autobiography with information on how his sitcom ran (interesting details), his run ins with the tabloids (funny), his childhood and some thoughts on how he ended up the person he is. Having friends who've been through similar childhoods, his recollections seem very plausible and I'm sorry he went through what he did. I'm glad he's come out of it a stronger person.

Stories of the Unrefined was my least favorite section. The stories werer just too dull after his chattier sections. When writing fiction he tries too hard to sound refined. He should just relax and let the story flow in his natural voice. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
This book is dedicated to everyone at Hyperion for having such a tremendous amount of trust in me, considering that I've never written a book before and was kicked out of college twice.
I would dedicate this book to my mother and my family, but they haven't given me as much money as Hyperion has.
