Prank the Monkey:The ZUG Book of Pranks

By John Hargrave

Book Overview

Making A Monkey Out Of "The Man" How does Bill Gates respond when you try to kiss him on the nipple? What are the consequences of sending in your tax return, filled out entirely in roman numerals? What happens when you wake up e-mail spammers with 4:00 a.m. phone calls? Action-packed and stocked with laughs, Prank the Monkey follows the quest of one crusader of justice as he dishes out revenge on the world's biggest--and most deserving--targets. Superprankster John Hargrave goes after Wal-Mart, pompous celebrities, and the entire U.S. Senate in this outrageously funny book, exposing them for the chimps they really are--and shows you how to do the same. This premiere volume features dozens of all-new pranks, more ambitious than any attempted to date, plus updated versions of the stunts that made ZUG famous.

Customer Reviews

Funniest book I've read

I was delayed at an airport for 4 hrs, and decided to buy this book at the bookstore. I could not put it down. It made me forget I was so angry for being delayed. Besides his pranks being top notch, his writing really makes you identify with his perspective. You actually also learn a few interesting facts about how particular services or companies work (like how to rid yourself of junk mail). This is a great book; highly recommended.

Simply Fantastic

hilarious - I read the first few pages and knew this book was going to be great. I was right.

Couldn't put the book down

I been reading Sir John's pranks for quite some time on his web site. I've laughed so hard one day when reading this at work, the guy in the next cubicle from me had to ask what I was laughing at! Soon as I got the book, I knew it was going to be just as good as his site. Rereading some of the classic pranks was just as fun as it was the first time I read it. And all the new pranks will certainly keep be entertained for quite some time. I definitely hope a sequel is in store, because I can't get enough of Sir John's pranks!

You'll get high and give up drugs!

Sir John's book can be described in one word: WOW! It's hilarious reading as I vicariously joined him in his wild, wonderful and welcome escapades. As a professional prankster myself, I resent the fact he is so skillful in not only performing satirical stunts, but also writing about them with such great style. Buy the book and find out for yourself how clever this guy is. Sorry, but I can't help hating him a little. Alan Abel

A laugh for anybody that's up to no good.

This book was absolutely hilarious. Whether your a frequent visitor to his equally funny website [...] or a newcomer on the pranking scene, this is a definite read. Each page provides a good laugh and it just gets better as you turn the pages. One of the best books I've read in a loooong time. Kudos to you Sir John Hargrave (even if Britain won't recognize your royalty). Everyone should grab a copy of this book and enjoy. Highly Recommended.
