Daniel Sloss

Daniel Sloss's comedy engages, offends and makes people uncomfortable, and it is utterly hilarious - all at the same time. In this book, Sloss lays out his views on just about every conceivable kind of relationship between two people - with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you, parents, best friends (male and female), not-best friends, children, and siblings - and even with countries ('Countries are People Too, Just Bigger and Even Worse' is a stand out chapter on Scotland and England, and why the author is definitely NOT English). Every relationship gets the full, inimitable Sloss treatment as he explains why each one is fragile and ridiculous and awful - but, just maybe, also valuable and meaningful. In any case, one way or the other, under his pen they are all hilarious.

If you want to use alternative medicine, be prepared for the alternative results - being a dead idiot.

My depressed brain was more than willing to finish this book, which is an accomplishment. It made me laugh and it wasn’t shite for a first book. Wish there was a version that isn’t branded just for Americans, a version where he made fun of everybody else in the world, but I didn’t say no to a good laugh at the Mericans’ expense. 

It was a delight to read this with Sloss’ voice in my brain. His writing is the exact same as his stand up, not taking himself seriously (but at the same time, with a god complex, kind of difficult not to) 🤣

Also, sorry man but poetry is beautiful. Agree to disagree on this one.

Felt like a 6 hour stand-up lol.
One of the funniest memoir I've ever read.
There's a lot of repeated stuff from Jigsaw and X, but I didn't mind it. Some chapters felt a bit unfinished.
Overall, it was really enjoyable.

Daniel Sloss's stand-up comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter - all at the same time. In his groundbreaking specials, seen on Netflix and HBO, he has brilliantly tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love, romance and marriage - and claims (with the data to back it up) that his on-stage laser-like dissection of relationships has single-handedly caused more than 300 divorces and 120,000 breakups. Now, in his first book, he picks up where his specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship - with one's country (Sloss's is Scotland); with America; with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you; with parents; with best friends (male and female), not-best friends; with children; with siblings; and even with the global pandemic and our own mortality. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every human connection gets the brutally funny (and unfailingly incisive) Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful - but also valuable and meaningful and important.

One of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity.
