17 Most Funny Book Titles That Will Make You Laugh

These oddly specific and hilariously funny book titles are telling you exactly what they are all about – kind of. If you ever thought you couldn’t get published, consider that these books somehow managed it.

Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns by Andrea Gibson

I’m devastated to learn that this book is a book of love poems and not an informative how-to guide for pole dancing to gospel hymns. Despite that, this book has received many good reviews.

Check it out here.

Cooking With Poo by Saiyuud Diwong

I was oddly disappointed to discover that this is an ordinary cookbook and not a book for cooking with fecal matter. The Thai author, Khun Saiyuud Diwong, goes by the nickname Poo, hence the title of the book.

If God Loves Me, Why Can’t I Get My Locker Open? by Lorraine Peterson

My Name is Sus5an Smith. The five is Silent by Louise Plummer

From the title and the cover, you would think this is another holy teen novel. Still, this is the story of a 17-year-old girl from Utah who must stand up to her “disapproving mother” to pursue her artistic dreams but also apparently has a crush on her Uncle. Sus5an doesn’t make good decisions.

The Best Dad is a Good Lover by Charlie W. Shedd

This book gets creepier and creepier as you look at it. The title, the cover, the review…. I hope no one ever buys this book.

The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification by Julian Montague

This “artistic photography” book is mostly just a bunch of pictures of abandoned shopping carts – which is probably exactly what you should have expected. Amazon calls it “a must-have for anyone passionate about shopping carts.”

If you’re one of those people, you can own this book here.

Why Cats Paint: A Theory of Feline Aesthetics by Heather Busch and Burton Silver

This “unprecedented” book happens when someone decides, “Let’s give cats paint and see what happens.” The ironic wit and professionalism with which the book is written only add to the experience.

Make Your Sex Toys. 50 Quick and Easy Projects - with Step-by-Step Pictures! A Practical Guide to a Better Love Life

If the title didn’t draw you in, the pictures on the cover certainly did. I’m unsure what you can make with a hammer, some rulers, an orange slice, and the thickest chinstrap beard I have ever seen, but I’m excited.
