Mr. Manners: Proper Etiquette For The Modern Degenerate
Mr. Proper Etiquette for the Modern Degenerate is a politically incorrect, satirical manual to living right while doing all the wrong things. If you ever wanted to live on the edge but are afraid of the repercussions of societal judgment, just follow Mr. Manners’ advice and learn how to cross the line while still being viewed as a gentleman. You will be an upwardly mobile sinner in minutes! Embrace your manhood and learn how to pursue all of the higher arts via etiquette. Mr. Manners makes a martyr out of himself so that you may learn from his wisdom. Think that as a white man it’s wrong to use the N-word in public? Wrong! Mr. Manners shows you the etiquette for overcoming this common misconception. Got a girl pregnant and fear that you are going to lose your freedom? Let Mr. Manners show you how to finagle your way out of this inconvenient bind whilst still maintaining your gentleman-like demeanor. Want to have a threesome with a buddy and a lower-level hussy but don’t know how to deal with two bananas and one clam? Let Mr. Manners show you how to remain straight in a gay situation. Think you may have an STD? Don’t let traditional medicine dictate your decision making process. Mr. Manners will lead you to homeopathic well being. Ever thought of dating a prostitute but fear occupational hazards? It’s not as bad as you think and Mr. Manners shows you that it may be financially rewarding as well! Mr. Manners will teach you how to survive a night in jail, how to have rough sex without accidentally murdering your online date, how to drink and drive without getting caught and a plethora of other actions that could be macabre, but are merely by-products of being a gentleman. So curl up with this book and a drink and realize you’re not a piece of white trash like the media would have you believe… You are a gentleman!

Okay, I guess
Not my cup of tea. Glib, repetitive and at times totally asinine. But what are you gonna do, as you is a gentleman.

Manners and etiquette provide a baseline for what’s deemed as acceptable behavior within our social world and Aaron Berg’s Mr. Manners: Proper Etiquette for the Modern Degenerate offers a rather specific view on gentlemanly behavior for degenerates as it details various life experiences and suggestions for how to proceed that the titular Mr. Manners has already tested in a range of scenarios, including, but not limited to, what generally agreed upon unused language might be able to be used in very particular situations and protocols for a variety of sexual encounters.

While this is clearly meant to be satirical and offer a humorous reading experience that doesn’t necessarily adhere to the social or political correctness that might typically be expected, the narrative tone reads too easily as genuine, making it come off as tastelessly repugnant more often than not; the jokes made within this also don’t fare particularly well in our current social climate either, which doesn’t help, and I’m arguably not the intended audience for this material. Many of the suggestions for how a degenerate gentleman ought to behave in the scenarios presented are repetitions of what was suggested in a previous chapter/scenario, which leaves the defined behavior of a gentleman to be incredibly limited in scope to a handful of base, degenerative tendencies and lacking in the complexity that marks being human.

A bit blue
Sometimes hateful, sometimes humorous, thought it did a good job of embodying the modern degenerate, even if the humor of such a position sometimes seemed lost in, well, degeneration.

This book was nothing but pure garbage. Nothing even remotely funny to be seen here. - just disgusted that I even downloaded this piece of trash.
