Publisher's Summary

Comebacks and flip flops - historical and contemporary - that capture the current era of snarky humor.

It’s impossible to go a full day without using snark, so why fight it? Snark is everywhere, from television to movies to everyday life. This lively collection provides hours of entertainment - better than an Etch A Sketch, and more fun than Silly Putty! At the heart of it, being in a state of snark can be one of the most useful tools at one’s disposal and hence (yes, I used “hence”), a powerful way to get what you want. With snark, you can catch people completely off-guard, and royally piss them off.

Included here is the Snark Hall of Fame, the Best Snarky Responses to Everyday Dumbassness, and much more. It’s a book that will make you laugh. It’s a book that will make someone else cry. It’s a book every student of the American psyche (that’s all of us, Sparky) needs to have. Let loose. Let your inner anger become a positive rather than a negative, but most of all, have fun. (Yeah, like that’s something you know how to do.)

Every era has its defining default mode when it comes to wit, and the sarcasm of the 1990s has given way to millennial snark. Lawrence Dorfman sees snark everywhere, in everyday conversation, and suggests the listener embrace it as a tool to irritate others and get what they want. The Snark Handbook takes a look at the storied tradition of snark, from Lewis Carroll to Gossip Girl. Bernard Setoro Clark has an appropriate, amusingly smarmy tone as he recites quotations from Snark Hall of Famers like Woody Allen, WC Fields, Mae West, and many more, in this entertaining collection.
