Stories of the Unrefined

Dirty Jokes and Beer

Sarah Sammis

There are three distinct parts to this book: Dirty Jokes, Beer, and Stories of the Unrefined.

Dirty Jokes is his section for ranting about stuff. Each chapter starts with a dirty joke (except for the 101 Big Dick Jokes which is just a list of big dick jokes) and the follows with something close to his typical stand up routine. This is Drew as stand up comedian section. It's the most crass of all the book and in some regards the funniest. The 101 Big Dick jokes are all fairly tame and can be broke into types of dick jokes: dick as celebrity, dick as 'eighth wonder of the world' and dick as conjoined twin.

Beer is Drew's more serious autobiography with information on how his sitcom ran (interesting details), his run ins with the tabloids (funny), his childhood and some thoughts on how he ended up the person he is. Having friends who've been through similar childhoods, his recollections seem very plausible and I'm sorry he went through what he did. I'm glad he's come out of it a stronger person.

Stories of the Unrefined was my least favorite section. The stories werer just too dull after his chattier sections. When writing fiction he tries too hard to sound refined. He should just relax and let the story flow in his natural voice.
