Got this for my wife's birthday.Very fun book! My whole family loves it from 9 years old on up. There's some "adult" content but it totally goes over my kid's head. If you like goofy wordplay that can edge into slightly uncomfortable waters, get this book!

I can't remember the last time I read a joke book and am glad I picked up this one. Delightful and breezy. Silly & fun. I'll be sharing this with the youngsters in my life who will no doubt enjoy it as much as I have.

If you love silliness for its own sake, you’ll enjoy this book. Kids will giggle, adults will laugh (or groan to cover up their giggles).

Great fun. I hope she does more.

5.0 out of 5 stars From beloved NYC comedy star Jessica Delfino
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
Jessica Delfino is a pioneering comedic songwriter/singer and iconic NYC performer known for edgy and sometimes filthy comedy. Oddly, though, this book is isn't anything like Jessica's act. Instead, it's a collection of gently silly bits for those who love puns and other plays on words. For example, here are my favorites about books:

How can you tell if a book is tough?
See if it has a spine.

What is a book’s preferred way of communication?
To be paged.

What kind of romantic partners do writers go for?
They have a certain type.

How do writers get all their work done in time for a deadline?
They give it Helvetica!

How could you tell the book was at its end?
Its pages were numbered.

These are not the sort of yuks that appeal to everyone. But if you adore quick bits of wordplay, this book is jam-packed with them. Plus it's a sneaky way to change the subject at dinner if any of your relatives supported the wrong candidate...

Jessica Delfino is a talent who's been a prime force of NYC alt comedy for over a decade, so a first book from Jessica is an automatic five stars from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocked and in love with this adorable hilarious book
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021
A friend gave me this book as a fun present to cheer me up during the pandemic blues, and I thought it was very sweet of her but I'm not really a "joke book" person so I didn't expect to get into it. One afternoon, just seriously sad and missing my friends and family, I picked up Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks and started laughing as tears were streaming down my face!!!!!!!!! It was SO funny and dumb and (oddly smart?) and uplifting and special... I can't say enough good things about it and the lady who wrote it. I'd love to give her a hug. It's also the absolute perfect gift to give anyone because the jokes are so silly and universal and childish. Anyway I ordered 5 copies for my mom, uncle, brother, stepmom and cousin for Christmas, and as expected, they all loved it. I'm going to get some for friends too at some point. It's so nice and frankly such a relief to think "Oh I can get this book for ___ and know they'll like it" but it's not a generic Starbucks gift card or something, you're supporting an artist who's clearly doing something from the heart.
