Idiot Books: The Series That’s too Dumb to Die
Posted on July 5, 2009
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Improving Your IQ – If only it were that easy.
English Grammar Workbook For Dummies – I don’t honestly know how effective this will be, but it’s sorely needed.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Journaling – Preserve your dumbass thoughts for future generations.
Vocabulary for Dummies – Dummy vocabulary, hmm? Maybe it can help explain this “Git-r-done” I’ve been hearing so much about.
Poetry for Dummies – I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that most of these include the word “Nantucket.”
Etiquette for Dummies – While I don’t expect that a simple book is going to start making stupid people behave in a civilized fashion, I certainly applaud the attempt.
Research Papers for Dummies – Notice it doesn’t say “Writing Research Papers.” Perhaps it’s just a collection of reports the student can hand in as is.
Signing for Dummies – I know it’s really about sign language, but please … Just let me pretend it’s about signing your name.
Baby Signing For Dummies – Mr. Dummy! Mr. Dummy! Please sign my baby!
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Poetry - I assume it describes the method where you run through the entire alphabet trying to find a word that rhymes properly … Aoperly … Boperly … Coperly … Dammit, this might take a while.
Screenwriting for Dummies – I think this book is probably solely to blame for the state of the motion picture industry, right now.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Clear Communication – Clear communication is important to learn. Because the typical idiot method of saying things like “Fruit bat canoe hop a speedy boat house” just isn’t gonna cut the mustard.
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Web Animation – Yeah, only idiots make web anima … Wait …

If I sign that baby it will become a collectors item.
Make sure you keep the box or else the value drops precipitously.
