A hilariously funny book of ways to annoy men. Great narration. A good gift or fun treat, as it’s only 2 hours long as an audiobook.

A Hilariously Sharp Guide to Shutting Down the Worst of Men
Kyle Prue’s How to Piss Off Men is an absolute gem—clever, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny. With over 100 expertly crafted comebacks, this book arms you with the perfect responses to mansplainers, pick-up artists, and all-around insufferable men. From calling out fragile egos to turning the tables with witty one-liners, every page is packed with humour and sass. If you’ve ever endured an unwanted lecture on your own area of expertise or just want to have a little fun at the expense of toxic masculinity, this book is a must-read. Smart, savage, and oh-so-satisfying!

I'm sorry but despite an initial interest sparked by the intriguing title I then discovered I wasn't really the intended audience for this audiobook.

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to listen to this book. I have followed Kyle Prue for a long time and really enjoy this series on TikTok. The audiobook did not disappoint. It’s a great format for consuming the content. Kyle Prue has an uncanny ability to come up with these hilarious digs.

This was fun and silly and I can easily see how it would make for a goofy blog or successful series of TikToks.

It's just so, so brief -even including the interview on the audiobook that doubles the length of the book- so it's hard to give it a higher rating. Nothing is really powerful or outright hilarious enough to be super memorable after the book is over. But it's very fun while reading! And might even make a good calendar with daily quotes.

Kyle Prue's How to Piss Off Men is a witty and irreverent guide that arms readers with over 100 sharp comebacks and phrases designed to challenge toxic masculinity and deflate oversized egos. Drawing from his popular YouTube series, Prue offers a collection of one-liners tailored for various scenarios, from dealing with persistent pick-up artists to silencing mansplainers. The book's humor is both biting and insightful, making it a handy resource for anyone looking to navigate and counteract everyday sexism with a clever retort. If you're seeking a humorous yet practical approach to standing your ground in the face of male arrogance, this book delivers with both style and substance.

I absolutely loved this book and it had me laughing out loud. I listened to it on audio but I will definitely need to get a physical copy for myself and all my friends.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me give my honest review.

Prue’s take on gender dynamics combines humor with some sharp social commentary, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. One quote that really stood out to me was, “Sometimes shaking the status quo is the best way to spark real change.”

I appreciated the witty anecdotes and the author's candidness; it made the message relatable and engaging. However, some sections felt a bit repetitive, which occasionally lessened the impact of his points.

Overall, this is a clever and insightful exploration of modern relationships and gender roles. It’s a fun, empowering read that certainly gets you thinking!

Whether you view this novel as a satire or a how-to workshop, it is hilarious. I also appreciate the irony of a man telling us how to piss off men. I guess he would know! I will be jotting a few of these down now, just let me find my pen...

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Recorded Books for my copy of this audiobook (read by the author)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars)

Ladies, gather around. If you’ve ever wanted to send a mansplainer into a tailspin, emotionally deflate a pick-up artist, or just casually own the next guy who calls you "sweetheart," Kyle Prue has delivered the ultimate verbal arsenal. How to Piss Off Men: 109 Things to Say to Shatter the Male Ego is not just a book; it’s a weapon of mass destruction for toxic masculinity, and I could not love it more.

From the guy who’s kept us laughing (and thinking) on TikTok, Kyle Prue brings his wit and charm to this hilarious and ridiculously satisfying guide to ego-shattering comebacks. Each entry is a mic-drop moment waiting to happen—like calling a guy’s favorite NFL jersey “cosplay” or politely informing him he has the confidence of a taller man. It’s equal parts comedy, social commentary, and, frankly, therapy.

But the genius of this book isn’t just in its sharp one-liners. Kyle’s narration (yes, you must listen to the audiobook!) adds an extra layer of comedic brilliance. His deadpan delivery of some of these lines had me howling—and imagining exactly who I’d use them on next. He’s like your hilariously unbothered best friend, hyping you up to reclaim your space, one perfectly timed zinger at a time.

The beauty of How to Piss Off Men is that it’s not just about roasting dudes for fun (though, let’s be honest, that’s a major selling point). It’s a sly, sharp critique of the behaviors women have to endure—and an empowering reminder that humor is a powerful way to fight back.

Thank you, Kyle Prue, RBmedia, and Recorded Books, for giving us this handbook of brilliance. Whether you’re a seasoned comeback queen or need a little help shutting down unsolicited opinions, this book is a must-read.

This is a fun and funny book that is also deeply insightful. The narration is perfect, though I follow the author on social media and love his pacing and delivery. This is a fun respite for a crazy world.

The first time ever that I wish an audiobook was both longer and shorter. The list of things to piss off men could/should definitely be longer, but the 1-hr interview with the author and his mother was really unnecessary and uninteresting.

Otherwise, this was a good bathroom book. Men themselves would even chuckle at some of this list.

(I received this ALC via NetGalley in return for an honest review. Thank you.)

Couldn't to listen to all of this... The jokes in this book require a deep knowledge of American pop culture and celebrity names that even someone as chronically online as me does not have. For all my non-USian girls out there: I find that simply not laughing at a man's joke is enough to shut him up. Hope that helps.

I don’t really know how to review this book because it’s basically exactly what you think it is, and I mean that as the highest praise. I’ve always loved the tiktoks because the content seems ridiculous and funny on the surface but it’s actually ridiculous and funny and infuriating because it’s true! I always think about a Tumblr post that I saw years ago (during the peak of Tumblr obviously) about how the most fragile thing in the world is a mans ego. This book is great if you also found that a perfect response.

I listened to the audiobook and that was delightful but I think it’d be even better to flip through as a physical book with some friends. I know that I have stories for a bunch of the pages so I can only imagine how fun this would be to read with other people and just reminisce on all the dumb shit that men say on a daily basis.

A plus of the audiobook is an interview with the author and his mom and it was so fun to listen to and just kinda helped explained how the author ended up writing this.

I feel like this is a very lackluster review but honestly this book is just what you think it is and I loved every second of it.

Completely worth it for the additional conversation with his mom.

It’s short it’s simple, it’s fun.

This was not my favourite read. Although I loved the premise, I think that if these were short essays rather than a list style it would have elevated the content much more.

I’ve been following Kyle on Tiktok for a number of years now, and the way he speaks is so hilarious and engaging. This audiobook is definitely the same and I very much enjoyed it 😊

Sold.

It was quick and simple, providing succinct ways to passively aggressively get your point across to someone who is in need of having a reality check, or bringing down an ego peg or two. Most strategies are transferable.

This was deliciously funny and I loved the chat with his mum at the end of the book, I want them to invite me over for a cheese and wine on the sofa night.

If you need to laugh out loud, this is the book for you. The audiobook narrator adds to the humor of this book. His voice makes it funnier with the way he says the lines. In this quick book you'll laugh out loud both at the humor and absurdity of some of the lines. You'll contemplate when you can use these lines next and even consider listening to it again to remember the lines better. I thought it was fantastic. This is a pretty quick book to get through since it's not very long. I also liked the epilogue a lot because it was basically a podcast of ask the author questions with his mom. They had good banter and answers to the questions.

Thank you netgalley for the advanced reader's audiobook version.

Kyle Prue is a gentleman that I actually saw on TikTok first and has become this source of satirical joy that I crave. He is hilarious for his self-deprecation and his wordsmith work is top tier. I don't know if it hits anyone else but I am also addicted to the cadence that he and his mother speak. I know that sounds beyond weird but you will get it once you give it a listen. The fact I got this as an audiobook that was narrated by the maestro himself was a serious gift. I will treasure this short but mighty piece of literature for decades to come.
