Humblebrag: The Art of False Modesty

miss you harris. i named my rat after you. his name is Wittels. i thought about naming him Harris but then i thought about the word "whittles" and it kind of sounds like what rats do with their teeth (which grow 5 fukn inches a fukn year! wow!), so the wordplay was too good. people use the word "humblebrag" every day, i hear it all the time, so i thought you might appreciate that.

This book is much more suited to be a coffee table book, as it is basically just humblebrag tweets the author has accumulated and the author's very short commentary on those tweets. Still, Harris Wittels was an incredibly brilliant comedian and I would have loved to have seen more from him. R.I.P. Wittels

I ordered the audio version (read by the author) as well as the hardcover for my bookshelf. Hilarious! Harris Wittels nailed humblebrags. He will be missed.

Harris Wittles was a unique voice in comedy, and this book is nearly perfect.

Great stuff! Perfect coffee table book. This guy was a comic genius.. Also worked on Eastbound and Down. It's too bad he died.

RIP Harris.Great part of the Wittels legacy.Good coffee table book.

It was an entertaining light read.

Really enjoyed this book but all it made me think of was how great Harris was. Seems like he could have done anything with his talents, so I’m very pleased to at least have this.

For anyone who is bemused and perplexed by the (relatively) modern phenomena of the Humblebrag, this book is a must.Hundreds of wonderful examples, each with an individual response from Mr. Wittels. Genuinely funny, but also with a serious point about the nature of arrogance, condescending superiority, and basic snobbery.A great book that you can pick up for 5 mins, or spend an entire evening with.

Absolutely brimming with loveable Harrisisms. The tone and style is so unique and just brilliantly cynical. Highly recommend.

Flicked through this fairly quickly and it then went to the Charity Shop. A real Stocking Filler. Well put together but not particularly interesting.

The product details said it had 272 pages - thank God it only had 252 pages. I suggest you read the product description for two of his best humblebrag examples and then imagine reading one after the other that are worse than those until you reach page 247 where the author glibly says: "So now you know what a humblebrag is".ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Ya, I already knew...they aren't funny.I bought this book thinking I could find out what to do about people I know that continually humblebrag on-line, not to just read hundreds more of them. I should have been suspicious of the quality of this book when his "friends" made such snide reviews in the product description. This is the absolute worst waste of my wealth I have ever made. (and that ain't nothing to be braggin' about)How do I rate it a ZERO?Drew P.
