Sloppy Seconds Paperback – September 4, 2012

After his first three books, Tucker found himself with about 1/3 of a book of second-rate, leftover stories. What to do?He could've gone out and had some more drunken sloppy cheap lewd adventures and made fresh stories from them. But he's getting a little old for that. Plus, there's a risk that there's only so many ways to live those adventures and tell about it.Instead, he bulked up the material by reprinting stories from the first three books. And then he cut the price all the way down to FREE.Now we're talking!The old fans will be happy because it's a few more stories. The new fans (like me) are happy because we get to try Tucker Max before buying. And Tucker will be happy because some of us new fans are going to go on and buy one of the non-free books that supplied the stories for the first part of this book.Tucker turned a publishing lemon into lemonade. The man is a genius.

Tucker freakin' Max. This gathering of entertaining anecdotes is well worth the and effort of going through.Whether you're looking for something to read while on the toilet or just looking for something to break the tension after a tough day at your job, I can't recommend it enough, with the single caveat that should go with anything written by Tucker Max: If you take it (or yourself) too seriously or don't enjoy vulgar humour, you're going to have a bad time.So please, enjoy. Or don't. Because while I can respect either the choice to not read it at all or not enjoying it because of your own opinions, being self-righteous about it is a bad time. Namaste.

Sloppy Seconds proved to be a quick read, and took me a couple of hours to finish. This book is a bit shorter than his other works as well, so naturally it did not take me long to flip through. By now, I quite enjoy Tucker's narrative style... it's like talking to an old, hilarious friend that you find a bit ridiculous but are still fond of at the same time (against your better judgment, sometimes). I got some laughs out of it, but not as many as I used to. For this reason, I think that it was a good choice on Tucker's part to allow us to download this book for free. It's a bunch of leftover stories that's he's accumulated, not quite juicy enough for a full-on book, but not something you want to leave collecting dust on your hard drive, either.As an "introductory" book, for those readers who have not yet encountered the writings of Tucker Max, this is a great way to test the waters and see if this type of humor is something you might be interested in reading. For someone who has read other, funnier works of Tucker's, however, this book is a bit tamer than some of his other fare.I won't really go into details on this book because it's pretty much self-explanatory, par for the course Tucker Max humor at this point. As I've said countless times about Tucker's books, they are a certain kind of polarizing humor: either you'll find it somewhere on the spectrum between amusing and hilarious, or you'll think it's the most offensive, asinine poor excuse for literature that you've ever laid your hands on. Sometimes, you might even find that you're of both opinions. The point is, if you're looking for profundity, look elsewhere. If, however, you're searching for a funny, quick read that will make you think that The Hangover was an autobiography of Tucker Max, then this is the book for you.Give it a try. If you don't like it, drop it. If you do and want more, go out and buy all the Tucker Max books. You won't be disappointed. And since it's free, what do you have to lose? Your time, maybe, but certainly not your money.

A got to read book only if you’re open minded. I introduced my16 year old son to this book so he wouldn’t have to go through the situations on his own and figure them out. He got to read it in real life and make his own decisions before he attempts something he might regret if you know a Tucker Max book you know what I’m talking about

People hate Max's books for a lot of reasons. They are not well-written, for one thing. There are numerous grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, as well as missing words. Tucker is also not a particularly unique narrator or character. People have enjoyed watching obnoxious jerks wreck havoc since the days of Aristophanes on down to the cast of  Seinfeld , It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia  or  The League . The problem is that the folks in those sitcoms are arguably way funnier than Tucker Max ever is, most likely because they have talented writers working behind them.And therein lies the rift. The humor. Tucker Max has one joke -- "Look how rude/drunk/sexist I am! CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN I'M YELLING!" -- and the formula does not vary. If you happen to like Tucker's one joke, I can understand you enjoying part of the book, but the joke is told over and over, and without much panache or wit. Some of what he considers funny is actually baffling to me, since it's so obviously childish. Tucker Max still considers it funny to call people "nerds," makes fun of his buddy for having a black best friend (?), and attacks fat people who happen to be walking by. "If this were Lord of the Flies, you'd be dead already," he says to a "kinda fat" guy. Ha ha! Because he's fat, you see. That "joke" contains the essence of every other joke Max has to say: obviousness, stupidity, and a lack of originality.So why have his books sold so well? Tucker Max is obnoxious and mean, and because he gets away with it, he pleases readers a) who wish they could also be obnoxious and mean (and probably also as sexually successful as Max allegedly is), b) who enjoy watching others be obnoxious and mean for no good reason, and c) who are also obnoxious and mean. If you enjoyed Tucker Max's stories or books, it is for one of these three reasons: envy, misanthropy, or douchebaggery. (If you can claim to like these stories on any other level, I'd like to hear your excuse. And I mean "like" the stories, not find them interesting on a sociological, psychological, or other level.)If -- and it's a big IF -- If Tucker Max's abuse was even marginally intelligent or unique, there might be something to recommend it. Unfortunately, the majority of his insults are either cribbed from other sources (everything from The Simpsons to Winston Churchill) or just sloppy and lazy (e.g. he says a fat girl is suffering from hoof-and-mouth disease, because she's fat like a cow, you see). The book reads like the soulless struggle of a wanna-be stand-up comedian who has never bothered to write good material because he is surrounded by friends who both encourage and endure his watered down "witticisms." At one point in this book, a friend called SippyCup is insulting a fat girl because he doesn't like fat girls. Inexplicably, Tucker Max acts as if this behavior is uncalled for, and even types, "Funny requires intelligence and mental dexterity: it's not about hurting the person..." However, the only "mental dexterity" that Max shows is the cognitive dissonance needed to say things like this without realizing how deeply contradictory he's being.In case you absolutely must know what Tucker Max's stories are like, I have created here a handy Build-A-Story to help you write your own. Have fun.Roll a Dice: In your story you are (1,2) drunk and rude, (3,4) rude and sexed up, (5,6) drunk and rude and sexed up.Roll Again: Your story takes place (1,2) in a public place around mostly strangers (e.g. a Muslim wedding is wacky!), (3,4) in a public place around mostly friends (e.g. a Vegas bar), (5,6) in a private place with friends and/or a misguided lover.Roll Again: (1) You make fun of a fat person. (2) You make fun of a "nerd" (whatever that is). (3) You make fun of a slut. (4) You make fun of a person's culture or implied heritage. (5) You make fun of a weak or frightened person. (6) You speak IN CAPITAL LETTERS. [If you are unaccustomed to making fun of people, do not attempt any baroque comparisons. Stick with the basics, i.e., ask a fat person if they have "freed Willy" yet, or tell a nerd to suck on your "Monty Python."]Roll Again: (1,2) You puke/pass out. (3,4) You have sex/get into a fight. (5,6) You have sex/get into a fight, and then puke/pass out.Sample Story: (dice=3) Interested readers, let me tell you this awesome story about how rude I was to this girl that still slept with me. (dice=2) I was hanging out at the Chuck E. Cheese ball pen and had no idea how I got there. "I wish I was drunk," I thought. (dice=5) A scared seven year-old girl asked me to please leave the ball pen, and I told her that there was no god. She cried and ran off, and I suddenly realized there WAS a god: me! (dice=4) That's when I grabbed a waitress with a pizza and said, "Guess what my favorite topping is? PepperBONE-ME!" Ha ha ha! Zing! I don't need to tell you whose ball pen that waitress stayed at that night. My ball pen, that's whose. Because I'm referring to my crotch. The end. Oh, and this story was totally true.

I can see why these are leftovers, some of them are not as crisp or fresh as Tucker's standard fare. But even leftovers from Tucker's table still taste pretty good. I hope he won't turn into one of those inspirational prophets now that he has stopped taking the piss in public, and will keep his sanity and cynicism going. The world needs it.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as 'I hope they serve beer in hell' but it's still a laugh-out-loud read and worth the money. Sometimes I just want a book to be entertained and Tucker Max's writing style and his stories are perfect. Perhaps a bit too much of the book was given to the sexting though.

If you want to read the poorly written immature sexual boasts of a throbbed then this is the book for you. If you want to be entertained with a witty, sexy story try elsewhere although this is obviously only my opinion and I am a bit of a prude, clearly.

Great read, especially as it was free. honest author who says it as he sees it.It's a humorous book worth a read, not for the sensitive souls... Tucker Max ... He eternal student

Hopeless, crass, crap. Immature rants from a tiny sad mind. Grow up. Better still shut up. Avoid, unless your of dirty schoolboy mentality.
