Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler

[AbielleRose]

 

Synopsis:

 

Life doesn't get more hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her show? Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1 bestselling author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood.

 

Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild. Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG is good good good good!

 

CHELSEA HANDLER ON...

 

Being unpopular: "My parents couldn't have been more unreasonable when it came to fads or clothes that weren't purchased at a pharmacy."

 

Living with her boyfriend: "He's similar to a large toddler, the only difference being he doesn't cry when he wakes up."

 

Appreciating her brother: "He's a certified public accountant, and I have a real life."

 

Arm-wrestling a maid of honor:"It wasn't her strength that intimidated me. It was the starry way her eyes focused on me, like Mike Tyson getting ready to feed."

 

 

I just started this book yesterday and am in love with it. If you've never seen Chelsea or read any of her previous books than you should really check her out because she has a way with wit that is unique and well worth your valuable book allowance!

 

Can't wait to finish so I can get her other books added to mount TBR

I have not always found her show funny the few times I have watched it, or understood every joke done on the MTV VMAs. BUT, I have read her book "My Horizontal Life" (I believe is the name). I found it a hoot! Some of the situations I thought were a tad on the extreme side and...maybe used her comedic skills to stretch the truth a bit. But I did find it funny and enjoyable to read. Very fast read as well. Have debated reading this one, and the one titled something along the lines of Hey Vodka, It's Me Chelsea?
