Happy Endings

The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch

By: Jim Norton

Narrated by: Jim Norton

Length: 5 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Comedian Jim Norton is dirty...really dirty...the kind of dirty that makes The Aristocrats look like a knock-knock joke. Fortunately for him, his kind of dirty humor has earned him the distinction of being third microphone on the immensely popular Opie & Anthony syndicated radio show. In Happy Endings, Jim brings his raw, hilarious, and offensively honest comedy to Audible® listeners.

Jim will discuss everything from his affinity for hookers to stalking Black Sabbath and Alan Alda to always getting stuck with the hot girl's fat friend. He will share some of his experiences with Opie and Anthony, including his arrest on the infamous Voyeur Bus (a bus filled with naked girls that drove around Manhattan flashing passers-by). Many more heartwarming stories will be included in what is sure to be the most controversial title of 2007.

In addition to being a regular on the Opie & Anthony Show, Norton sells out comedy shows across the country. He starred on the recent HBO series Lucky Louie and was a regular on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, and other national shows.

Norton had this to say about his forthcoming title: "It's ironic that many of the stories revolve around prostitution, because that's where all proceeds from this...will be going. Actually, that's probably more disgusting and creepy than ironic."

Truly enjoyable for the Jim Norton fans of yesteryear.

I wanna start this review off by saying that I am a definite fan of Jim Norton. I enjoyed the stories and the honesty of his well spoken inner dialogue, but like some inner dialogue it's best left inside. I loved his stories but felt that the self deprecating and continual wishing of ill will sometimes took away from his journal entries. Listening to this and knowing what he's doing now shows that he has really aged well in his amazing talent.

Jim Norton as we have come to know him.

read by Norton himself > reading the hard back. I've previously read the physical book but hearing Norton narrate makes the vintage Norton humor even better. jokes, stories, on nonsensical stories that you know from when he was 3rd chair on O&A.

Funny but old O & A stories

I LOVE!!!! little Jimmy so I'm hesitant to write anything but a positive review. This is a funny book and you won't be dissapointed by it. That being said it was a lot of regurgitated stories from the O & A show. If your a fan however, this is not to be missed.

Happy birfday Jimmy!!!!! (I know how you like these !!)

Touching Journal Entries

This boy was a tear jerker about a young man's struggle to become the best Litte Jimmy he can be. There are classic stories about the nice girls that help him work out his issues.
You finally know the starts of the widely popular monster rain.
A must read

Extremely vulgar

I'm not a prude - I love Lewis Black and plenty of other foul-mouthed comedians - but this book was over the top. I stopped listening before the end.

It was honest and well-written, however.

frummmmmmkaaaassss

great book you meaty genius. i know your gonna find this and read it too you self concious zilch....

Strangely funny

I have not heard of Norton before. My first reaction to the book was disgust but I found it funny a few minutes later. Yes, the humor is very immature but none the less it made me laugh. A book that can make me laugh all the way through gets a good grade regardless of how vulgar the humor and it is very vulgar.

Great work by Lil Jimmy

I listened to this at work and made myself look like an idiot because I laughed so hard and often.

If you're a fan of Jim Norton, you'll love it.

good book

jimmy really nails it down loved the book frrrrrrmpkis

Good comic, Good book

Maybe I learned a little too much about his habits with "tainted" ladies, but this was a funny book. He is very down on himself sometimes, but that is his schtick. A nice listen and I would bet that it is much better than the printed version as he is the reader.
