Fifty-something David Spade is letting it all hang out. Older (yes), wiser (debatable), in A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World, the actor, comedian, and SNL alum reflects on his life then and now through a series of candid and hysterical (and occasionally cringe-worthy) takes on everything from why it’s getting harder to date younger women, to what it’s like being a dad now, to suddenly being the “old guy” on set.

Whether he’s musing on the alarming ease of breaking up over text (he’s done it), feuding with a teenage Internet celebrity (spoiler alert, he lost), or dealing with the friend from high school who became his full-time plus-one, when the star of Joe Dirt and Just Shoot Me unleashes his biting wit and dirty mind on the general freakiness of middle-age, he’s in a league of his own (not to be confused with A League of Their Own).

Written and performed for the Audible experience, Spade’s new comic memoir takes listeners along for the sometimes embarrassing and always hilarious ride of getting older in our fleeting “Snapchat World”.

Editorial Review

Middle-aged but still not quite a grown-up

I remember watching SNL during the David Spade years and marveling at how he managed to get away with being so cocky. He toed—and often crossed—the line of good taste, but as a young guy on comedy’s biggest stage, he pulled it off. So what happens when the 50+ year old comedian tries to navigate the world of internet celebrities and dating girls whose parents used to watch him on TV? The results are awkward, cringeworthy, and hilarious. As a new dad rounding the corner on 40 myself, I’m looking forward to learning how to stay sharp as the world tells me I’m losing my edge. —Scott J., Audible Editor

This book is such a good listen for when you’re running errands, driving your car to work, or simple things like that.
As David mentioned, it doesn’t add anything to your life, but it’s entertaining and light to listen to.
I find myself looking forward to head to the car for work just so I can listen to it.

Much better than the first one!

If you are a Spade fan, or even if you’re not, this book is a witty take on life as it was and is now. As a 40 something woman, I appreciated the nostalgic SNL and Farley references, as well as the more poignant moments of Spade’s upbringing and early years. His sarcasm and cynicism are the perfect pair as he describes the many hilarious moments of his life as a “star”. While a bit raunchy at times, this book is worth the price and the listen. It’s laugh out loud funny in a world where we don’t laugh nearly enough. Thanks David Spade!!

Cynical humor at its best!

I was laughing so much I think my coworkers in the near by cubicles thought I was crazy. I loved that David Spade narrated the story. You can get his sense of humor. The book was about random life topics sometimes comparing the old way of life versus the new technological era. Super funny!

Hilarious...

David gave me cranberry-juice-out-the-nose laughter. Solid listen, way better than a hardcopy. Chapter 6 gave me the nose bleed. And David is sexy. This story is a confirmed panty dropper. 10/10

Narration is great, love the sound effects. Honest and funny tho a little too pube centric. Enjoyed.

If riding in a '95 Land Cruiser with your bare feet out the window listening to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" while David Spade tells you funny stories sounds like heaven to you listen to this book!!

Amusing, at times laugh out loud funny.

I'm a HUGE SNL nerd, and the Spade, Farley, etc. years were some of the best. I really enjoyed Spade's sarcastic humor and delivery, both in the show and his movies. However, this book was really uneven, not particularly funny or interesting, and, frankly, mostly made me sad for Spade.

Although a longtime Spade fan, not a great book

The author is obviously capable of being brilliantly amusing, which makes the sting of the content bite even harder. If you are a younger woman, count on being ridiculed as a group, and possibly directly. If you are an older woman, your suspicion that you might not exist will be confirmed.

This audio leaves me feeling sorry for Spade.
He should grow up and get his priorities straight.
Middle aged men chasing girls too young for them ends badly for one you.. can you guess which one?
