I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is a book written by Tucker Max, published in 2006, that details anecdotal stories. It made the New York Times Bestseller list in 2006, 2007 and 2008. It sold an estimated 70,000 copies its first year. Composed of short stories narrated by the author, often focuses on the narrator's humorous excess. The stories normally deal with themes such as the author's views on women, drinking (often to excess), insulting people, and embarrassing sexual encounters. A sequel, titled 'Assholes Finish First', is set to be released by Simon and Schuster in 2010.
Now, has anyone read the book? I haven't, although I hear the stories are entertaining. Anyway, I saw the movie yesterday. It sucked [although Jesse Bradford's character does have some funny lines in it].
But I come to find out this dude has a major cult following. Really? He is like the Dane Cook of the American Pie crowd or something. From watching some interviews with him, however, he seems like an incredible douche. Not because of what he does to girls or whatnot - like I give a fuck about that - but rather because he's 34 and still acts like the typical frat guy, insulting his fans on facebook because he has to perpetuate the asshole image he has built up and whatnot. Oh man, I have been waiting to use whatnot all day long.
But yeah, am I missing something here? Thoughts?

a phony that made money by portraying the life his internet geek fanbase wishes that they had.

some of his stories are pretty funny, but once you read one, you've read them all really.
I've read a few of his stories on his website. The general idea is he's part of this little "Retrosexual" movement that has got fed up of the loss of old-fashioned masculinity, and so compensates with humorously exaggerated stories of drinking, fucking hot girls, fighting etc.

yeah, a lot of the young guys today are fags big time. They think about everything but getting the pussy. Put feelings and the fear of venereal disease aside and fucking be a man. Most young guys would not know if pussy lips were horizontal or vertical if it wasn't for internet.
There is a young kid that interns for us...and all he ever talks about are his adventures (or lack of them). Blah blah blah, i was a gentlemen, i spent yadadadadadadadada, and connected with her emotionally yadadadada...everything but i got my cock wet. The kid is really good looking (i would fuck him), has a bright future, but just can't seal the deal. Don't make her like you, make her fuck you and save the emo crap for your 30's ffs.
i used to prefer maddox's articles. everything about tucker max seemed so fake. have his stories been proved to be exaggerations or fabrications? a bit of both?

One or two stories are funny, then after that it didn't really matter anymore. Kinda like Krypton with Comrade Stalin, once you find out the magic is gone
