Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you poop out at parties? The answer to all your problems is in this little book. From the brilliant mind of Rob "Diesel" Kroese comes an instant pick-me-up of side-splitting intelligent humor. Ever since I bought it, my sense of humor has grown just like the Grinch's heart that was two sizes too small, and I have begun to see the humorous side of those irksome little things in life, like traffic jams, cheap hotel rooms, and spiders. This book is filled with delectable nuggets of comic insight that will change the way you think, or at least they'll give you a peek into Diesel's amazingly funny brain, which is an experience in itself. This man has the unique ability to turn the most insignificant things into Snort Coffee (or your beverage of choice) Through Your Nose kind of humor; I'd bet my lunch money that he could even make a dirty old sock seem funny. And most importantly, while Diesel is laughing at the rest of humanity, he's also laughing at himself, which makes being made fun of much easier on the rest of us. So, if you don't know what to buy that person who has everything, just remember this: If they don't have Antisocial Commentary, they don't have it all yet.

The topics are as varied and diverse as the selections in today's average peanut butter aisle in the supermarket. I can laugh at things that are funny, but Diesel makes me laugh at things that I wouldn't have thought to think of as funny but, upon further review, realize are obviously funny. I really enjoy picking this book up, and you will too.

Rob Kroese aka “Diesel” is one funny guy. Correction - make that one funny, brilliant guy. He gets it - gets the absurdities of life - and with his own unique, inimitable style of writing shares his take on life. Antisocial Commentary is a must read for all who recognize that laughter can get us through just about anything life throws our way. And then some…
It brings forth smirks, smiles, chuckles and those big old laugh-out-loud guffaws.
Read it and weep – tears of laughter!

All work and no job makes Diesel something something. Really funny? Why yes! That's exactly what I was trying to say, in my own pathetic-yet-well-meaning fashion! And thank you for filling in those blanks.

In truth, I'm guessing it will be significantly easier to write a review for this book after I've actually read it, but, since I've had the pleasure of reading at least ONE draft (maybe two?) I know "Antisocial Commentary" is filled with many words, most of them spelled correctly, and all of them in complete sentences. The fact that these "words" are well crafted, and often laugh-out-loud hilarious is but a bonus, but that's beside the point. The point, which is working its way through my fragile little mind, even as I type, is that Diesel is that rare author, who manages to find humor in just about anything. And not just "regular" humor, but the much more difficult/rare Oh My God I'm About To Wet My Pants Because I'm Laughing So Hard, Help Me Jeebus! variety. You know, the really good kind. The kind you'd expect to find in a book written by someone like, say Dave Barry, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and close personal friend of yours truly. Now THERE'S a humorist... but I digress.

Buy this book, not just because it's completely hilarious, but because Diesel is a decent fellow, who laughs every time I make a "diesel fitter" joke, even tho' he has NO idea why it's supposed to be funny. I'm almost positive most folks will enjoy each and every fun-filled page -- and I have no doubt "Antisocial Commentary" will be that rare volume that finds a permanent spot in most households right next to the toilet. Yep, it's just that good. Did I say "good"? I meant to say Brillaint. ; )

What I appreciate about Robert's sense of humor is that he never goes for the quick and easy laughs...but the laughs come quick and easy to the reader. Maybe that's why it seems like you've read his work before, even though he's a new voice, the topics are new, and the approaches are completely unique. Mr. Kroese becomes a friend and co-conspirator to his reader almost immediately.

Seemingly effortless in his ability to deconstruct some of life's odder moments in strange and unique ways, Robert tackles a diverse area of subject matters. Those topics that humorists have covered previously, he covers in a completely new way. The new topics he tackles with a trademark style that includes scathing satire, ridiculously imaginative hyperbole, and the occasional scatalogical joke.

If you are a connoisseur of fine humor, or if you just like to laugh...this book is for you.

Love is defined in many different ways. Some love because of dependence. Others love because it is the only perfect emotion in the human spectrum and drives many to the highest in artistic achievement when that perfection is lost.

Rob Kroese is an author whose writing falls no where near either of these definitions of love. Kroese is the Attention Deficit Disorder poster child of love with a book that covers anything that damn well pleases him. Many would call that being a virtuoso, a prodigy or idiot-savant. In fact, due to the flying bullets of topics flying all around the reader, he covers all three of the aforementioned much to the chagrin and ugly envy of his fellow writers who would decry Kroese's ability to make the reader laugh not only at the cornucopia of topics, but also -- and most importantly -- at the mundane.

No other humor writer matches this ability sans one. Kroese has defined his niche and it is as the heterosexual David Sedaris. Yes, Virigina, that is possible. Just peek between the covers.

The love here is strong and reading Antisocial Commentary is like sleeping in fresh sheets every night next to the person of your most impossible fantasy: Abe Vigoda.

Mister Kroese is an amazingly brilliant and creative writer! It's always great to find someone who can take a simple thing like putting on your socks or renting a car and turn it into entertainment!

It's my hope that people like us can purchase all of the publications of such people as Rob Kroese, so that they can spend all of their time writing for our amusement! I don't even think you can ride a ferris wheel anymore at these prices! Much better to buy the book ~ it's a longer lasting ride! :)

After reading about the book, both on his site and here, I cannot wait to get my copy of Antisocial Commentary: From the Secret Files of the Mattress Police!
