The Bible of Unspeakable Truths

by Greg Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld, the acclaimed host of the popular, nightly Fox News show Red Eye, has packed this book full of his most aggressive (and funny) diatribes -- each chapter exploring Unspeakable Truths that cut right to the core and go well beyond just politics. Greg deconstructs pop culture, media, kids, disease, race, food, sex, celebrity, current events, and nearly every other aspect of life, with Truths including but not limited "if you're over 25 and still use party as a verb, then you're beyond redemption," "the media wanted bird flu to kill thousands," "attractive people don't write for a living," "death row inmates make the best husbands," and "the urge to punch Zach Braff in the face is completely natural."

With an irreverent voice, incredible wit, and a firm take on just about everything, this is a manual for how to think about stuff, by a guy who has thought about precisely that same stuff. And, even if you disagree with Greg, this book will make you laugh--guaranteed.

About the author

Greg Gutfeld has been called "outrageous and outspoken," neither of which he denies. A libertarian political satirist, humorist, magazine editor and blogger, he is perhaps best known as the host of the Fox News Channel program "Red Eye With Greg Gutfeld." Airing at 3 a.m. ET Tuesday through Saturday, the show covers a variety of topics, including news, entertainment, sports, and gossip. Gutfeld is also a host of FNC's "The Five," a weekday program at 5 p.m. ET.

The Weekly Standard calls him "the most dangerous man on television." According to the magazine, unlike other media darlings, "Gutfeld's stuff actually is subversive, a stink bomb hurled into every faculty lounge, mainstream newsroom, movie studio, and nonprofit boardroom in America."

Prior to joining Fox, Gutfeld was a staff writer at Prevention and editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine. He later became editor-in-chief of Stuff, where he increased circulation from 750,000 to 1.2 million and created controversy month after month. He helmed Maxim magazine in the U.K., and was a contributor to the Huffington Post, where he became legendary for his "inspired, lunatic ridicule of his leftwing fellow Huffers." He's been published in countless magazines, has appeared in too many profiles to mention, and was only fingerprinted once.

He currently blogs on his own site, The Daily Gut, as well as Big Hollywood.com, where he writes about the news and pop culture of the day, from a conservative libertarian humorous slant. He's appeared on dozens of TV shows, as a regular on "The O'Reilly Factor," while also stopping by on Dennis Miller's radio show and spots on "Opie and Anthony."

This is a man who takes nothing seriously. He reminds me very much of myself before the depression set in as heavily as it has; a sort of avatar for Coyote, finding humor in everything, because everything is ridiculous and because being too sincere and earnest is both exhausting and, after a point, obnoxious. He even closes the book by thanking Satan, not because he is a Satanist but because (as he states) he figures it's safer to cover all his bases.

Incidentally, Greg Gutfeld is a former Liberal who wrote for Men's Health, Stuff Magazine & The Huffington Post, but who has found himself somehow transformed into a Libertarian host of a Fox News self-parody show. This show, "Red Eye", is basically a late night Fox News show featuring a bunch of bizarre people -- including John Bolton, Penn Jillette (who wrote the introduction to this book), Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Kevin Sorbo, Gilbert Gottfried, Dennis Kucinich, Johnny Rotten, King Buzzo, Krystal Ball, Andrew Napolitano, Andrew W. K., Sherrod Small, Ann Coulter, Michael Ian Black, Kurt Loder, Kennedy, Gary Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Gavin McInnes, Harris Faulkner (be still my heart!), Imogen Lloyd Webber, etc. -- making fun of Fox News for an hour. One of their catch-phrases is "Shut up! You're spoiling the narrative!" They frequently bring up ludicrous topics and then try to spin them into vehicles for fabricated outrage, and there have been several times in which major news networks (and the people at "The Daily Show", who should really know better!) have mistaken these satirical discussions for real Fox News statements; if my brother hadn't recommended Gutfeld's show to me, I certainly wouldn't have known any better. My personal favorite was a a satirical discussion of how Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood actually brainwashed children into becoming communists, which a neo-hippie friend of mine took VERY seriously after catching about 2 minutes of it one night and used as a platform for railing against Fox News. I've seen stories from Gutfeld's show taken out of context and used in articles on MSNBC or Media Matters or reports on NPR attempting to slam Fox News.

Both his show and his book are full of references to cannibalism, sado-masochism, homo-eroticism, sex-tourism, and drug use (often paired with one or more of the other subjects I mentioned). Even when he seems genuinely passionate or outraged about something, you can't be sure if that's really what he feels/thinks or if he's just amusing himself. I adore that about him. If any of this sounds interesting to you, I recommend picking up this book. If, however, you are one of those obnoxiously, insufferably, single-mindedly earnest and sincere people so prevalent in our modern, Western world...Well, don't bother. You'll just feel outraged, and that will just give him more material.

I have the latest Gutfeld 'The King of Latenight', and realized I've read all his books but this one--the first. Although it came out in 2010 some of it is timeless, and some is amazingly accurate about foreseeing current times. Some of course is a little dated, but is his perception of what was happening in that era. It reminds me of his monologues, topics broken down into a few pages at most--or in some cases a few paragraphs. I was disappointed in the first few pages--sort of rambling and a bit incoherent. It reminded me of some of his 'Red Eye' shows which were definitely hit or miss in my opinion. That's why I can't bring myself to rate this a five. If you're a Gutfeld fan though, this is a must read.

The host of the TV show Red eye writes a book about what he thinks. Just a few years old, it's already dated. If you're a fan you might read it. It's tough to be funny in print.

[Carolyn Di Leo · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author is the "bad man" host of Red-eye. The show sometimes surprises me with its vulgarity and the book is really not much different. That being said, oh, how I laughed. I like the type of person that tells you what they think and with Mr. Gutfield's book, I certainly got that!!
Not for children, however, I did read my teens a few funny bits about raising children. I must admit, some stuff was a bit vulgar(does anyone use that word anymore?) and I don't really care too much for that sort of thing.
It was a fun book for a bitterly cold night though, with glass of wine and wrapped in a Snuggie...aaah, life is good.

[L. McCoy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed it but had some problems.

What’s it about?
You know the way MOST (not all) mainstream news commentary people, I’m talking both CNN and Fox News, are boring and annoying as fuck? Greg Gutfeld is an exception. The Five and The Greg Gutfeld Show are the only 2 mainstream news shows I’d say are worth watching (though I suppose it is fun to laugh at some of the others when they start having meltdowns now and then). Gutfeld is humorous and does not just spend an hour of air-time mindlessly sucking his political party’s dick. In this book he gives his take on a variety of topics from toilet paper to religion... no, I’m not joking.

Pros:
This book is often very humorous. It frequently made me laugh out loud while listening to this. Fans of politically incorrect, NSFW and often weird humor will probably enjoy this.
Gutfeld makes a lot of good points in this book. Many of them I already had in my mind but he said them in a humorous way and there were also many points that I was like “never thought about it but... good point”.
This book is more daring than expected, I like when books are a bit daring. It’s too politically incorrect for the far left but has too much strong language, sexual themes and NSFW humor for many people who would be considered conservative. That in my opinion, is a fun and excellent way to do a book.
The narrative works very well.
The introduction or foreword is very clever and funny (this part wasn’t written by Gutfeld though still great).
There’s some things that I don’t think are in the prose version (couldn’t say for sure as I haven’t read the prose version) in this that (probably) only work as audiobook jokes and such so I enjoyed that.
Greg’s narration of the audiobook fits perfectly. I like it when in opinion or autobiography when the author is also the narrator.

Cons:
I didn’t care for the frequent gender stereotyping. Not to sound like some sort of SJW (if I was one I wouldn’t have been able to handle this book) but stereotypes in general annoy me, especially when it comes to shit like that. It’s not just stereotypes about women BTW, also guys.
There are some points that make no sense. I’m not just referring to things I disagree with, there are a few things in this that I disagree with that still made sense, what I’m referring to is shit that just straight up makes no sense. Example: saying people aren’t open minded about eating poisonous food so why should people be open minded about politics... do I even why that’s nonsensical?
A few times it’s hard to tell if it’s serious or satire. It is an easy mistake to make writing a humorous opinion book I suppose though still slightly irritating.
I will admit I didn’t like the fairly frequent bathroom kind of jokes, then again I very rarely find shit like that (no pun intended) to be funny so...
There’s an interview about the book at the end that’s a tad boring and to be honest, kinda pointless (I mean, I just listened to this book).

Overall:
Despite several small flaws I still enjoyed it and it achieved what I think the book is trying to achieve... a book in which the author both expresses views and makes readers laugh. If you enjoy Gutfeld’s show you will probably be enjoy this, despite being a slightly older book that frequently talks politics and such (published in 2010) it’s still enjoyable and often funny. If you aren’t a fan of Gutfeld you probably won’t care for this. If you aren’t familiar with him but you’re sorta interested in learning more about him and what he does I’d probably suggest watching his show for a while first and then coming back to this.

4/5

[Richard · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's probably a little unfair for me to give this book a star rating, because this really isn't my kind of book. Let me say this: if you like Greg Gutfeld on TV, you will like this book. It is written just like he talks. If you aren't familiar with Gutfeld, the way he writes is a lot like George Carlin's books, except Gutfeld isn't as condescending, teed off, or foulmouthed as Carlin. For me, Gutfeld's absurd imagery and self-deprecation get a little old after awhile. On a positive note, the book can be consumed a few pages at a time without losing any continuity, so it makes for excellent bathroom reading material.

Gutfeld has a number of gems, and some of the book reads like Freakonomics. For example, he observes that the more friends you have, the more likely you are to be murdered, since most murders are committed by people known to the victim. Can't argue with that logic!

More gems: "Most of us are only as virtuous as our options." "People who say 'dissent is patriotic' feel differently when you dissent from them." "Obama sees your paycheck as public property." "Pacifists are parasites."

A longer excerpt: "I love it when a CNN reporter approaches someone with an American flag and treats that person ... like 'a lost tribe of Americans,' like that dude with the Coke bottle in 'The Gods Must Be Crazy'. ... So the press chose to mock these folks [Tea Party rally participants] instead of, say, WTO protesters, who smash the windows of a Starbucks that reporters would normally purchase their lattes from."

To me, a lot of this book is common sense (presented in an extreme way, of course). Again, if you like Gutfeld's style on Fox News, you will be entertained by The Bible of Unspeakable Truths. It makes for a good reference but might be a bit much to digest in just a few sittings (on the john or otherwise).

Listen up those who are unacquainted and I will acquaint you. It all started a few years ago at 12AM. I turned on my TV to find a short, somewhat portly man speaking heinous things while his repulsive sidekick, a hot FOX news lady, and a CIA operative watched. This Gregalogue (it's a monologue with Greg) introduced me to what would become a household staple around here. Sadly, last month, we decided to cut our ties to the extended world by getting rid of our cable, so Greg is no longer a household staple (oddly, enough this dovetailed quite nicely with my need of a humorous book, coincidence? ithinknot). We no longer get to hear the misadventures of a post-operative, houseboy enthusiast and his preoperative, questionably coiffed sidekick.

This book is basically a collection of Gregalogues so it does not really find a cohesive theme...unless you consider his love of underground rooms, houseboys named Pablo, and fastidious research(of books not yet written) a theme. It is more a book you read bits of at a time because his Gregalogues can be quite short (sometimes even one sentence). There are some truths in here, some head scratchers and some overshares. But, overall, it is like watching an episode of Red Eye, which I find cathartic. Greg really seems to want to connect with his readers. He even invites them to join him for various events (usually in a park, scantily clad, with only a birthmark as his true source of identification). He wants his readers to be well-fed. Thus, he includes what looks like a great recipe for lemon bars. I had never considered the inclusion of a prostitute, but that might add a little something. Oh, and he cares about his readers' safety. His argument for guns is quite cogent.

Overall, this book is a treat.

[Wanda · Rating 1 out of 5]

Eh. Gutfeld is no P.J. O'Rourke, that's for sure.
The book (and I listened to the audio version) is basically about a billion of those Redeye (or is it The Five) half-time blorps that Gutfeld does on something or other. You know...vegans are ugly losers, Facebook friends really aren't friends, liberals subconsciously hate gays and blacks...blah blah. Something like that anyway. I kept falling asleep while listening and having a dream that I was trapped in an airline window seat next to a middle-aged man hitting on my by trying to impress me with his banally obvious opinions on everything. Sweet Jesus, take me home now!
Gutfeld's basic schtick is the tried and true "They're wrong." Doesn't matter who "they" are: just throw a dart into the madding crowd and start riffing.
One thing that came through to me after 8 hours of listening to him drone on is that he's really not particularly interesting. One of those emotionally and intellectually shallow types who think they are fonts of sagacity and profundity. Plus, apparently, he drinks a lot.
I gotta get out of this seat. Where did I put my taser....

[Dody Eid · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you lighten up, this book is pretty funny. At times, though, the comedic style does get repetitive, which is why I won't give it 5 stars.

[Wesley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little dated (from 2010), but it's Gutfeld, so still good.

[David Peters · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a lot of fun. While I don’t necessarily agree with this entire book, it did make me think about the positions I do hold. The one theme I did agree with completely, it is the hypocrisy of the politically strident. For example, the war protestors demanding the impeachment of George Bush and the coverage of that in the news. Then Barack Obama takes over and basically stays the course; but where are the demands for impeachment?
I especially liked the discussion on parents who are convinced their kids are special, or gifted. I see this behavior all the time. I refer to it as masturbation by proxy, because I feel these parents get off on convincing themselves and (trying to convince) others that there particular kid is a genius. Almost always this is with a child who is severely socially handicapped, but yet they can never see that in them.
There is a good chance this book will make you angry, or upset your cart, but overall it is entertaining. I like that in my non-fiction. A last truth for you – Attractive stalkers are called groupies.

[Tressa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not sure if I've ever read a book on any subject that had a LOL on every page; this book does. But this book isn't about politics, it's about Unspeakable Truths on any subject under the sun. The best parts of the book are where he talks about pop culture and anything else that pops into his mind. Here's an example of the way Gutfeld's mind works:

Old Porn is Better Than New Porn

"Every time I "accidentally" stumble onto some Internet porn, I get adolescent porno flashbacks. I miss the old stuff. More important, I miss how I used to find the old stuff--stuck in bushes or behind hedges on the way home from school. I don't know where all of these torn and withered pictorials came from, but I could only assume they were placed there by porn elves. The pictures would be as stiff as tortilla chips. And twice as salty..."

I cherish self-deprecating humor, and this book is packed with it. I loved every minute of this book.

[Karina]

I won this book in Goodreads First Reads. The odds: 15 copies available, 393 people requesting.

Generally, sarcasm is hard for me in written form (I had this problem with I Am America: And So Can You! and other books). But so far, this is comparatively good.

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Certainly an able imitation of Dennis Miller's rants...laughs on every page regarding our national inability to recognize the incompatability of "political correctness" and our slide into progressived liberalism since the 1930s New Deal with effective and efficient public policy...worth the effort!!!

Funny, funny and yet it made me mad. If he was mad about something I was mad about I got madder. I was very mad at the government and dumb people.(Maybe because they are one in the same, HUMMMMM....) It was fast to read and funny. I agree with him, What the heck were we thinking when we elected Obama!!!!

[Debbie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am a fan of Greg Gutfeld and I did enjoy this book, but I'm glad to be done with it. Greg on TV for a few minutes at a time is different than reading a whole book at once. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it in short blocks of time.

[Dave DeJonge · Rating 1 out of 5]

Overall this book was just disgusting--not worth the time to skim, let alone read. The cover said it was guaranteed to make me laugh, but that never happened. I just found it offensively filthy, and I usually enjoy a bit of irreverent humor. Don't spend the money on this one.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you are easily offended and don't like crude humor, this probably isn't the book for you. But I am a fan of Greg's, and this made me laugh a lot.

It's Red Eye's Gregalogue on steroids.

[RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN · Rating 5 out of 5]

RICK “SHAQ” GOLDSTEIN SAYS: “HILARIOUS BULL’S-EYE ATTACK ON POLITICS & LIFE IN GENERAL WITHOUT TV CENSORSHIP!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone who is a fan of the quick-witted host of Fox News Channel’s “RED EYE” will laugh even harder than usual as you read Greg’s unfettered attacks and dissection of everything from the media’s love affair with Obama… to condoms… to pets… to religion… to obesity… to kids… to sex… to crimes… to death row… and even people who sit in trees in Berkeley… and everything in between. All of these varied topics are sprinkled with the author’s parenthetical humor which is like icing on the proverbial cake.

In discussing the media’s relationship with Obama Gutfeld writes: “IF YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND, WHO HAPPENED TO BE MEGAN FOX, WORKED WITH ACORN, HUNG AROUND WITH A RADICAL LEFTIST/BOMBER, AND USED TO DO COKE BACK IN COLLEGE-WOULD YOU CARE?... OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T! IT’S MEGAN FOX!!!... CONGRATULATIONS: YOU’RE NOW THE NEW YORK TIMES.” The author also takes a very strong stand on how the media and protestors manipulate the truth about anything relating to war such as when the New York Times had a front page article on American war vets of modern wars: “THE TIMES SAYS THEY’RE ALL HOMICIDAL MANIACS, COMMITTING UP TO 121 MURDERS TOTAL, STATESIDE. BUT THIS IS THE “TIMES”, OF COURSE, SO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY LEAVE OUT IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT THEY LEAVE IN. I’M TALKING CONTEXT. OH-AND SOUL. IN THE NEW YORK POST, WRITER ANDY SOLTIS, ALONG WITH OTHER BLOGGERS, POINTED OUT THAT THE MURDER RATE FOR RETURNING VETS IS ONLY ONE-FIFTH THAT OF YOUNG AMERICANS WHO DID NOT FIGHT. THE TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: IF YOU WANT TO MAKE PEACE, MAKE WARRIORS.”

All the subjects are not as serious as this… such as the unfair depiction of squirrels as compared to rats… his recommendation of opening an amusement park based entirely of STD’s… and the more serious… and ludicrous example of Beachwood, Ohio… “THE CITY RECENTLY DECIDED TO CANCEL ITS ALL-STAR BASEBALL GAME FOR KIDS AGES NINE TO TWELVE. APPARENTLY, SOME ADULTS FELT SUCH GAMES HURT THE SELF-ESTEEM OF PLAYERS NOT CHOSEN.”… “OF COURSE, (THE CITY) FAILS TO REALIZE THAT NOT BEING CHOSEN MIGHT ACTUALLY CAUSE THAT CHILD TO WORK HARDER AND PREPARE HIM FOR THE ROUGH VAGARIES OF LIFE… *”AND NOW EVERYONE IS A STAR-BUT NO ONE IS GOOD AT ANYTHING.”*

But the minute the reader is appreciating Greg critiquing a meaty subject he adroitly makes a comment such as David Beckham’s wife is “SOMETHING RESEMBLING EYEBALLS ON A STICK.” Regardless of the subject matter Greg can’t hide his unrelenting attraction to unicorns and perhaps the most intriguing bit of info the reader will be left with is: “IN THE EARLY NINETIES HIS PROFESSIONAL NAME WAS CHUBS McFISTY.”

[Macks Milner · Rating 2 out of 5]

I only read this because it was pretty short and it reminded me of an earlier book of his, The Joy Of Hate: How To Triumph Over Whiners In The Age Of Phony Outrage, which came after this. This, The Bible Of Unspeakable Truths, was certainly better than the latter because that one was him just complaining the entire time and not actually teaching the reader how to "triumph" over the people and things was whining about, but they're similar in the way that it's Gutfeld just complaining a whole lot.

Of course, there's a lot I agree with and there's a lot I disagree with. What gave this a low rating for me though was how little Gutfeld digs into these topics (ranging from political related things to pop culture and sports related things) - these diatribes can last just from one little paragraph (no exaggeration) to only a couple pages. Whether or not I agreed, I wanted more analysis, more words. He doesn't really elaborate too much or sink his teeth into the subject too deeply.

His signature sense of humor is kinda too much sometimes. It's more or less the same type of joke repeated with different references. You always know when it's coming, and you'll have a general idea of what the punchline is going to be. Ocassionally it is funny, don't get me wrong, even if you know what is coming and when, but if you listen or read for too long it gets sorta old real soon.

[Khari · Rating 2 out of 5]

I finished the book. I’m glad I finished. It was doubtful there for a while.

Did I enjoy this book? No. No I did not.

I did not enjoy this book because I never knew if the man was serious or not. I sincerely hope that 99% of this book was a joke, because if it wasn’t then the man is severely disturbed. But even if 99% of the book was a joke, I don’t get why it was funny.

The blurb on the back was ‘Greg Gutfeld is the funniest person on TV. Read this book immediately and see for yourself.’ Only, I didn’t think it was funny. I didn’t laugh once while reading this book. I wonder if that means that I have no sense of humor? Or maybe it just means that I don’t find scatalogy, pornography, or cannibalism funny. And most of the jokes revolved around those.

I just didn’t get it at all. Glad it’s done.

[TomB312 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Greg’s Gutfelds approach to trying to be spontaneous, edgy, and funny leads to a book that has absolutely no flow. Just as your brain has about caught up on one topic he changes topics. There is no introduction no conclusion and barely coherent thoughts. He more or less admits it, this book isn’t a researched book with any facts, I doubt I would call it a political book even though it deals with politics, it’s more like a Facebook rant someone named Karen would have. It’s not even that I disagree with his politics, I actually thought he had good point on some topics which is why this gets 2 stars instead of one. I got 2 chapters in.

[Sheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've read a couple of other books by Greg Gutfeld and enjoyed them a tad more, possibly because they were meant for reading in the first place, either sticking to one topic or a collection of originally written articles. This one is a collection of humorous bits from his various TV shows and, while someone who enjoys him on TV will probably enjoy it, as I did, it's better as bathroom reading than as a book to sit down and read clear through, because his humorous quirks get to be repetitious in this format.

[Jackie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is so not something I would usually pick up. (It was a gift and I am open minded for having read it even though I find the author infuriating.) While witty and sometimes funny, Gutfeld is acerbic and bitter; honestly he just seems like a bully. Another reviewer mentioned that Gutfeld “writes exactly the way he talks” and that is 100% spot on - now I can’t get his irritating voice out of my head.

[Michael heine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hilarious. Gutfeld is the most insightful sick mind i know of. Great grasp of social and political issues and trends with a loose grasp of reality.

Love all of Gutfeld's books. A terrific slant on issues and trends. He's not afraid to call out the phonies and hypocrits in politics and pop culture, while being very entertaining. Funny stuff.

[Keith Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

An interesting take on things

As one that watches his fox tv show the takes he has are quite similar as what he has on his show. Some of the references to Obama seem dated since he's not in power, they are quite humorous even though I sometimes wonder if he's saying them just to say them but overall I enjoyed reading it.

An Oldie, But a Goodie

I'm talking about the book, not Greg just be clear.

While I probably picked this up on sale on Amazon, it was worth the two hundred pennies I ponied up for it.

When not making you laugh, Herr Gutfeld makes you think. Today, that's never a bad thing. (The thinking... Unless you're a lefty... Then laughing is more important.)

LOL, Greg should be a comedic writer full time. This book is 10 years old but I still laffed like a manic. I’ve seen him on Fox TV and I was intrigued by his eye-raising but raw commentary.

If you’re willing to be open-minded (inside joke-Gutfeld) then should try to this raucous rant.

[Kevin Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is quite dated looking at it from the lens of 2019 considering it was published in 2010. However I found this book enjoyable. This book was Greg Gutfeld at his best full of politically driven satire.
