Randall seems to know his audience well and fans of Randall's unique animal documentaries will enjoy this book. Unlike Stuff White People Like, Shit My Dad Says and I am America - he seems to realize that his shtick works well in a small format rather than a massive book or entire TV series.
This certainly is fun in that Randall's personal style comes through very strongly. But don't be fooled, folks. This book ain't all about Honey Badgers - though their badassery can't be denied - it contains a few other unique species. There are many, many photos as well as a run down on each unique little animal. And there are a few unique guys in here. Maybe because I'm all the way from Australia - but I was completely oblivious to this little bundle of cutosity:
Pink Fairy Armadillo says, "Take me home! But only in your hearts... because I'm endangered so you should totes protect my environment. Just sayin'.
Yet this book isn't just about mocking animals and amusing ourselves with their weird-ass, crazy ways and looks. It's a conservation effort. Every animal mentioned in this book is endangered - most of them critically. A few of them I've scarcely ever heard of.
My one critique of an otherwise funny gag book would be that there were a couple of factual errors that annoyed me. Only, I can't be sure they were intentional for the use of humour, or earnest mistakes.
Otherwise, this is certainly an amusing read. Not that the Honey Badger cares whether I approve or not. Because, if I've learned anything, it's that Honey Badger's don't give a shit.
Because I can't help myself when it comes to teh cute!"

Randall is a foul mouthed hilarious narrator. His youtube video commentary on the Honey Badger caused me to laugh uncontrollably with tears rolling down my face. His witty remarks successfully transfer across to the written word. In this humourous book, we are treated to tidbits about the lesser known animals. Most of these animals are endangered or critical endangered. Some of them are just nasty which Randall notes with sharp and witty remarks.
While Randall isn't able to deliver his funny commentary with his distinctive oral tone, he's able to match it with some of the funkiest font. I particularly liked the i's dotted with little hearts. Since I've listened to the Honey Badger video many times, when I read this book, I could hear Randall speaking in my head. That was kind of strange, yet pleasantly stimulating.
This book does provide little known trivia about each of these animals. Randall turns dry facts into juicy gossip which as we all know, gossip is easier to remember and spread. If it were not for the swear words, I could easily see this as a book for kids to read and enjoy.
I recommend this book to people who love animals, even if the animals aren't too cuddly. Warning, to read this book, a sense of humour is required as well as a tolerance for blue language. I recommend it for a fast and fun read.

First, let me introduce you to the wonder that started it all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHM...
Just like "Go the Fuck to Sleep" was awesome for parents, here's yet another education-or-storytime-for-children parody from the guy who brought us the Honey Badger video on youtube. You think that Discovery Channel and Animal Planet have the most awesome animal documentaries? Think again. Randall, with his humor and foul language (fabulously foul, I may add), has brought new life to animal documentaries. Since then he's put up quite a few more on other animals that are extremely strange, like the Basilisk "Jesus Christ" Lizard (called that because it walks on water!). I absolutely love Honey Badger and wish I could have one of my own but he'd probably eat me, so this book is the next best thing.
Needless to say, this book is SO not for kids, aside from the parody format of this being a children's book. And aside from that, it's actually living up to its advertised genre of being educational. I learned a lot about the honey badger in this book and I had a ton of fun doing it. Honey Badger's not the only one you can learn about in this book - the Aye Aye, the Tasmanian Devil, the Emperor Tamarin (who may or may not actually be both a human and an animal), the Pink Fairy Armadillo (can I have one? Please?), the Tarsier, the Opossum, the Solenodon, the Wombat, the American Bullfrog, and others all can be found in this book. And humor aside, I learned things I didn't even know about some creatures I didn't even know existed.
Just like "Cake Wrecks", and "Go the Fuck to Sleep", I think that adults will really dig this. You can learn and have fun without falling asleep in front of the television to the drone of nature documentaries. Older teens will enjoy this one too. There's no plot or technical detail to be analyzed here, just facts and funny, and Randall delivers them both to the audience on a silver platter.
Definitely one of my best of 2012 in the humor catagory, and possibly in the educational catagory as well. I think you guys will enjoy this one, too.

Here it is. The first book read of 2012.
First off let me tell you that I had no idea what this book was about when I requested to read it from NetGalley but I wanted to give a shot. You know branch out a bit and read something fun and easy and since this book is only something like 64 pages long I thought it would be perfect to read something funny.
It wasn't funny. At least not to me I feel like this is just someone's effort to make money on being a youtube sensation by other means. I didn't find the writing funny and I absolutely ridiculous but once again I seem to be in the minority because other people who reviewed it seemed to love it.
I just couldn't find anything funny about this book it was way to ridiculous for me and I didn't like it at all. I don't hand out 1 star ratings lightly or that often but this is one of the rare occaisons in which I am forced to do so. This just wasn't for me.
*I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my free and honest review.

To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect when I got this book to review. I had never seen the You Tube video and didn't realize there was one until I did some investigation. I do like to broaden my literary horizons when I can so I decided to give it a shot. I thought that this book would be a humorous look at various unlikeable and maybe a little unknown animals. Even though it does have some interesting facts, I didn't really care for the book. I thought that the author's use of profanity was over done and unnecessary for the most part. It did nothing to add to the humor he was striving for. This is definitely NOT a book for kids. I would keep it to adults only. I know there are some out there who will find this book amusing. Unfortunately, I am not one of them

'Honey Badger Don't Care' is a wildlife book for adults. If crude language bothers you then this book isn't for you, otherwise I think it is a great way to learn about 'badass' animals. I found myself laughing quite a lot through the book while learning fun facts. It is a short book but is filled with colourful photos (some natural and some modified for fun), humour and interesting information. I hadn't heard about 'Honey Badger Don't Care' before so I looked up the YouTube video it mentions to see what I had been missing. If you are a fan of the YouTube video then you will love this book as it is in the same style and language.

I love Randall just as much as the honey badger don't give a shit (which we all know, is a lot :-p) but this book is so wonderful and fantastic that I am hoping and praying he does more! The book is hysterical, but it is also rather educational! Randall presents us with both facts and hilarious commentary on each of the animals in this book.
I absolutely loved it! Like I said, I really hope he writes more. And hopefully an audio version of this and any other (hopefully) future books is in the works too. That would make it so much more awesome if Randall did an audio version!

Fucking Awesome
This was just so fucking funny. You should fucking read it, stupid.
I loved the little captions and the photo's were perfect.
Just a very humorous book with a little bit of information tucked in there so you feel like you read something educational, even if you're stupid, stupid.
On a side note i was sad that this nasty ass beast didn't make it into the book.

Honey badger might not care that it's become an internet sensation and now a must-read book, but you absolutely will! I had pretty high hopes for this book and I have to say, it didn't disappoint. If you aren't aware of the youtube video "Nastyass Honey Badger", then you absolutely should. (Be aware, there is adult language in this video.)
If you've seen the video, you know what to expect. If not, then I'll clue you into the awesomeness that this book contains. While you probably won't hear Randall narrating his own show on Animal Planet anytime soon (although we can hope), this book is full of wonderful humor and great insights on animal life. Frankly put, this is a book about animals that's written for those of us who aren't into the long Latin names or dry paragraphs about animal habits. Randall condenses all of these facts into a few pages per animal and it's incredibly fun. If I wasn't won over by the honey badger entry at the beginning of the book, I was won over by the hilarity in the following ones.
I do have to warn parents that they'll probably want to read through this to go over the language and some of the phrases in the book. (One entry suggests that Don Knotts had erm, illicit relations with a bat, but in a non-malicious way.) It's all in good fun and none of it is malicious, but this won't be appropriate for some younger readers.
This was just awesome to read and would make for an excellent late-late Christmas gift. (Or a late Boxing Day gift. Or a Valentine's gift.)
5 out of 5 stars

I LOVE Randall, the narrator of the YouTube sensation, “Honey Badger Don’t Care” video. I was pleased-as-punch to meet him in person last month at an event at Powell’s for the release of this book. He was so nice; he even gave me a hug when I simply asked if I could shake his hand! He was genuine and warm to his fans.
Randall’s videos may be hysterically funny, but he has a serious message behind them: to bring about awareness of the plight of endangered species on this planet.
There are profanities liberally laced throughout the book and I found it disconcerting that adolescents attended the book event at Powell’s. I know they hear and probably use these words every day but I strongly feel that though the book LOOKS like it’s aimed at kids; it’s really for an adult audience, as mentioned on the back cover.
Nonetheless, the book focuses on 11 strange, mostly endangered, animals. I found the pink fairy armadillo to be the nastiest looking – it makes me think of a lobster crossed with a guinea pig. Eww! The Tasmanian Devil is pretty nasty too, well, so is the Solenodon. Frankly, I don’t want to run into ANY of these creatures out in the jungles!
Randall’s trademark humor is everywhere and had me laughing out loud multiple times. There are lots of pictures in this short book, so you get a good look at these crazy animals.
I think it’s absolutely wonderful that Randall has come up with this unique way to educate people about endangered species that aren’t your everyday cuddly creatures.

Pictures 5 STARS

Educational 4 STARS
I have never seen or heard about the ytube video so I was just thinking oh cute animal book. Yes it has great pictures and most of the animals I did not know anything about even that existed. Boy was I shocked at all the swearing.
I would not recommend for kids who can read. I don't even want my 21 & 22 year old to read it. Hardly swear and try not to. So if you don't mind swearing all the time this book is for you.
The animals that it covers are the Honey Badger, the Aye-Aye, Tasmanian Devil, the Emperor Tamarin, Pink Fairy Armadello,The Tarsier, Opossum, Solenodon, Wombat, American Bullfrog, Sloth.
All of them are having to struggle to survive and their habat is disappearing and I know we need to care and protect wildlife. This book can reach some people with its humor and foul langage. I would love to see them all in person but I know thats impossible even with zoos.
I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from Netgalley.

January 24, 2012Only after I found out about Honey Badger Don’t Care did I look up the hilarious YouTube videos that started the phenomenon. And you bet I laughed so hard at Randall’s narration, and I couldn’t wait to read his adult, wildlife picture book!
Though I prefer the videos to the book—they are just funnier—I still had a great time reading Honey Badger Don’t Care. It is hilarious and informative and everything I was expecting it to be. I got to learn about twelve crazy, nastyass animals, while having an absolutely wonderful time doing it.
If you’re a fan of The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger, or any of Randall’s original narration videos, I dare you not to check out Honey Badger Don’t Care. Just read it, stupid!

This is a review of "Honey Badger Don't Care: Randall's Guide to Crazy, Nastyass Animals" which in case you didn't know by the profanity in the title, is not for children. One of the reviews was put off by the language.... if you haven't seen the youtube video, go watch that to get a taste of what you are about to walk into. Or visit something like "Know your meme" and look up honey badger. If you are offended by profanity, avoid this book. I don't care about profanity generally (very much a honey badger in that way), so saw the video eons ago and heard of the book more recently. So I bought it. It did not disappoint. This gives you a similar summary of the honey badger video but for other animals as well.

Think of this as mostly science non-fiction bedtime reading NSFW for adults; some nature documentary-style facts (or factoids) sprinkled throughout the “nasty-ass” hilarious snarkiness. A fun emotional pick-me-up for the grown-up with a great sense of humor.
May 11, 2019
I hesitate to mark this book as read, because I only got a few pages in, but I read enough to know I hated it, so I guess that still counts.

Reading this book is like having Marlin Perkins' sassy gay friend Randall take you on safari. The book is funny, offbeat and definitely NOT for kids. To really understand this book, watch this viral video first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHM...
Now that you've got Randall's voice in your head, you're ready to enjoy the wackiness that is Honey Badger Don't Care. Learn all sorts of nasty facts about some of the weirdest creatures on the planet and enjoy Randall's unique spin on the honey badger, aye-aye, wombat and more.
My only complaints about the book: It's too short, and it reads poorly on eReaders like the Nook. Grab it in print form and have fun. I'm waiting for the audiobook version. :)

July 12, 2012I didn't rate this book because it is dependent on personal taste for foul language and learning about some endangered animals. This is an adult non fiction book, both funny and foul. I learned a little about some of the animals. Part of what I found funny was based on originally hearing the author narrate a documentary on the honey badger. His manner of speaking Is as funny as his comments. Here is the link to the YouTube video decide for yourself:

I mean what can I say. I love Randall. This book made me laugh out loud alone in my apartment several times. He is good natured and honest and hates and/or is terrified of some of the things he covers: re: opossums, which he expresses as "ew you crazy fuck" and "I guess God wanted to make a cat-rat." But then also says "I'm being cereal!" instead of "serious." These are all misquotes and I am a huge fan of Randall and/or the process of delivering scientific knowledge with hilarious opinions and swearing.

Reading this one can hear the voice of the author; narrator of the famous honey badger Youtube video. This compendium is on a few vicious animals, such as the Tasmanian devil and wombat. Others are less fierce, or even cute, such as the pink fairy armadillo, sloth, bullfrog, and more. Randall has fun expounding on their way and some of the pictures have cigarettes and hair curlers added to the creatures. To me the funniest part is on the inside front cover: a contact number for bulk sales to schools!

Turns out Randall's father was a cameraman for Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. That pretty much explains everything to me. I love the video of the honey badger. I laughed until I cried. The book is amusing and somewhat informative. It sounds like Randall, but I think he's at his best in the voiceover.

I fell in love with the Honey Badger Youtube video that was narrated by Randall. I loved it so much that for Halloween my husband and I were Honey Badgers. So when I saw this book was coming out I knew I had to have it. It is a really funny book, but it also showcases some really interesting animals and it tries to shed light on how endangered some of these amazing creatures are.
January 21, 2012
Obviously not Shakespeare, but it's light and funny, and actually has some interesting information. The photographs and their captions are great. What the hell-it's fun to read! There are so many funny quotes if I started listing them I'd rewrite the whole book. Just read it.
February 15, 2012
This book is a hilarious yet very informative take on some of the world's scaryest ass animals. I do think they missed the raccoon though, those things are the nastiest ass animals of them all in my opinion.
June 21, 2014
Honey Badger don't care, and neither do the Bullfrog, the sloth, and the wombats! Quick read, and mostly funny if you're a fan of the youtube video. I recommend reading one chapter at a time, as the humor is great in small doses.
February 23, 2012
I got this book because I like the honey badger video (really, who else is going to buy this book?), but I wasn't expecting much. Turns out that Randall is just as funny (and gay!) in print. And now I really want a pink fairy armadillo.

Cutesy crap. I guess I deserved it, caught up in Honey Badger Don't Care for other reasons, I bought this on a whim. It may not be what you think unless you researched better than I. Some information may be gleaned from this book but you must wade through much to get to it.

One of my favorite viral videos featuring the crazy nastyass honey badger is now a book. And it's funny. And suprisingly, informative.
