Tucker Max Is The Bane of My Existence

June 9, 2009     Posted in Buzz, Reality

tuckermax“It’s about living the life you want to live, not the life others push onto you. It’s about being the person you want to be, not the person other people want you to be, and it’s about enjoying the time you have.” Where did these wise words of wisdom come from? None other than the infamous Tucker Max.

48

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this rather controversial creature, Tucker Max is the author of the book “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” a series of unfortunately true stories about Tucker Max’s “adventures” of how he likes to “disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead.” Wow, seems like the type of guy you are just dying to bring home to your parents, huh?

As if reading about the crude, offensive, vomit-inducing stories isn’t enough, you can soon experience a visual effect. Yes, that is correct. Tucker Max’s movie based on his best-selling novel will open in theaters this fall. I think it’s safe to say that this movie can’t possibly reenact the majority of Tucker’s experiences, because even an NC-17 rating wouldn’t cut it. But you never know these days.

With a book that was on New York Time’s bestselling list for three years in a row, and a movie out soon, clearly this dude has got a lotta funs. In fact, he’s becoming someone that guys look up to. Guys now have this notion that if you drink yourself to oblivion and get with every girl in sight (no matter what they look like and regardless of whether they are too drunk to function) then you’re “the man.” It’s like Tucker is the male Carrie Bradshaw… with a beyond vulgar twist. He’s inspiring guys from coast to coast to act like an ass and to do so without remorse.

I think it’s safe to say that Tucker Max is officially ruining men. And if we thought we were safe (because most guys don’t read books anyway) this movie is only going to make it worse.

Ladies, we’re all screwed (no pun intended).

    I met the dude. He came to speak at Duke. The stories made me laugh, but he's kind of a pathetic excuse for a human being. Also, HIS GRAMMAR SUCKS. I had to make multiple corrections with my sharpie when I read the book. Very sad.

    The feminist groups on my campus protested his appearance when he came to our school this year. This guy is an asshole and should not be rewarded or praised for his wildy insulting, offensive, and degrading behavior. He disrepects, degrades, objectifies, coerces, and harrasses women. But because he writes these tales in "comedic" manner, very few people, let alone women recognize what a repulsive human being he is. If you have to read his book, check it out from the library, don't pay for. Please don't see his movie either.

    Tucker Max may be an ass who "disrespects, degrades, objectifies, coerces, and harasses women" and everybody knows it. Yet, he still sells his books, is having a movie made about his life, and women line up to sleep with him. If women are offended by what he says / does, then they shouldn't sleep with him. Max is a pretty famous guy. If you don't want to get insulted or hit on, don't be around him. It's as simple as that. Even as a female, I think his book is freaking hilarious. I have a copy of it. I plan to see the movie, and if I ever met him in person, I'd probably try to sleep with him. While other women may think he is the bane of their existence and the cause of the downfall of men, I'm sure he and his fans don't care. He's laughing all the way to the bank.

    I agree with Emma. If there were a female version of Tucker Max, which I'm sure they are out there, selling a book and making a movie, we would think it's hilarious and awesome. Just because he's a guy we automatically pin him as degrading women. Yes, Tucker Max is an asshole, he admits it. But somehow you disregard the women in his stories. They all could have easily NOT slept with him. Did they know they would appear in his book? No, but tough luck.

    I think his stories are funny, and personally, I'm not offended.

    I thought the book was funny…yea, he's an asshole but he admits that before you even read the book….I agree with Diana, I wouldn't fuck the dude …ever. But he does make me laugh.

    Yes, he is an asshole. He stole my business from me. So I decided to steal his back from him. If you'd like to know more, please visit andrewator.blogspot.com. I promise you it won't disappoint.

    He should thank all of those who responded in his favor; without women like you he wouldn’t be rich. FYI I’ve read his stories… some are funny… but most are just downright disturbing and perpetuate the idea that women are only sexual object to be treated like animals ( especially those who rate a 0 on his scale and “do not deserve human rights”). Does humor really cancel out his misogyny? Is that all it takes to make something wrong, okay? Does admitting he’s an asshole make it right? Does the fact that he’s rich and selling his books make it right? Does making a movie out of it make it right? No, it doesn’t. He thrives off of naive, ignorant, drunk, and desperate people to make money. He may be laughing all the way to the bank, but he’s laughing at you all, not himself. Think about that.

    Thank you!! It pisses me off when girls say they find this guy funny. Really? Really? You find the misogynistic boasting of a halfway literate wannabe frat-boy entertaining?

    And do I even have to say what a huge turnoff it is when a guy says he admires Tucker Max?

    Btw, how does his admitting he's an asshole in any way legitimize his writing? Yes, he's an asshole. Stop right there.

    I'm a little torn on my opinions of Tucker Max. On one hand, I read his book, and as a /b/tard, that shit is HILARIOUS. On the other hand, I tend to lean toward quasi-feminist ideals, so what to think?

    I think Tucker Max is what he is. He's an asshole and he's admitted it (as observed multiple times in this comment board). He's not trying to fool anyone into thinking that the way he acts or treats women is the RIGHT thing to do, so why are we up in arms? Any guy who thinks Tucker is god-like is obviously a douchebag idiot as well, and not worth our time.

    Those of us who can laugh at his antics (which I believe are mostly lies) AND laugh at him, however, aren't at fault. This guy's a clown and deserves to be treated like one. The only thing I take seriously about Tucker Max is the paper his book was printed on (really, that shit gave me a paper cut).

    Ugh. Tucker Max. He spoke at my school last year and I went to see him. He made me sad for humanity. He's real and he's just as slimy in real life as he is in his stories.

    Not to mention the bimbo girls who went up to the microphone to ask him to get drinks after his "presentation" (if you can call it that). Really? Smart, college educated women want to spend time with this sleazeball even after knowing all his escapades?

    I do still laugh at some of his stories. Not all. Plus, it's fun to laugh at him when he gets his. Homeboy unknowingly has hooked up with trannies. Karma's nice.

  19. Sarah says:
    Wed, 10th Jun 200910:46 am 

    Melanie-

    I would say that the term, "smart, college educated women" no longer means the same thing it once meant. Nearly 95% of all high school graduates go to college, yet the graduation rate is much smaller. What does that tell us? A whole lotta girls and boys are going off to school to get their party on and forgetting what they're there for.

    I’m kinda over his whole “I’m an insensitive asshole, but i still get laid all the time” act. Gawker wrote a article about an actor who has a cameo in the movie, and his experience w/ Tucker on set.

    Link: http://gawker.com/5040547/a-cameo-in-the-tucker-max-movie

    if you search “Tucker Max” on their website, you’ll find a lot more…this guy has a lot of enemies.

    All of you people arguing about whether or not he's an asshole should probably stop. There's no point. I think it's funny when I tell people that Tucker Max stole my business from me. Really, I understand how little I or anyone else matters in the scheme of things, but he ACTUALLY HACKED MY EMAIL ACCOUNT AND SOLD MY WEB URLs out from under me.

    You're right shari, and I'm not gonna lie either, I think it is HILARIOUS.

    Courtney, there's not need to be ashamed. Any girl that has had sex with him already hates themselves more than you probably realize. Just take comfort in the fact that he probably has AIDs. He did have porn stars on his set, after all.

  24. Dan says:
    Fri, 12th Jun 20096:12 pm 

    This is all hilarious. To those of you who love Tucker Max for who he is and what he does, good job, you obviously have friends. Everyone else can bitch and moan all they want, but the bottom line is that Tucker lives his life the way he wants and doesn't let anyone with objections matter. If you realize how attraction works with women, you can totally see why all these random women want to fuck him. Those who tend to post these angry statements apparently have no clue as to how any of this works, and are therefore outraged at Tucker's stories/life. Live your life to the fullest extent and maybe you'll see what the best part of Tucker's book is all about.

    Tucker Max is a fraud and has been proven to. He was on a radio interview and the radio DJs basically called him out on a lot of his stories. He's simply a fiction writer not some wannabe college badass.

    Melissa, if Tucker Max is the bane of your existence, you should get another existence. But I know what you mean, what Tucker Max whether intentionally or more likely unintentionally stands for is the bane of your existence; namely, that your and other women's hold on the lives of the men in your spheres of influence is hearing its death nell. What Tucker Max represents to you is loss of the control that you have over men and that is what you are really complaining about. When you say, "I think it’s safe to say that Tucker Max is officially ruining men. And if we thought we were safe (because most guys don’t read books anyway) this movie is only going to make it worse" it shows both your true fear that the slavery of men to sex or whatever gives women such control is now over. As more men adopt this attitude, your rein of terror is over. And when you complain about not being able to take Max home to your parents, aren't you really afraid that Max and other men won't want to come home to meet your parents, not that you can't bring him home because of some deficiency in him, but rather you? Isn't true that you are afraid that you are becoming irrelevant to men with your controlling ways? And what about all the women who posted on this blog about not having sex with Max but allowing him the great pleasure of buying you a drink? Who's the oppressor and abuser now? And how condescending is it when you characterizing men as not being able to read. Well, maybe not, but at least I can do the math. How about you?

    Melissa, if Tucker Max is the bane of your existence, you need to get another existence. He really should be that important to you. But if he is, I know what you mean. What you mean is that what Tucker Max either intentionally or unintentionally stands for is bane of your existence; namely, that you and other women’s hold on the lives of the men in your spheres of influence is hearing its death nell, entering its nadir. What Tucker Max represents to you is loss of the control that you have over men and that is what you are really complaining about. When you say, “I think it’s safe to say that Tucker Max is officially ruining men. And if we thought we were safe (because most guys don’t read books anyway) this movie is only going to make it worse” it shows that your true fear is that the slavery of men to sex or whatever gives women such control over them, is now on its way out and will soon be over. As more men adopt attitude of not caring what you think, your rein of terror is in decline. As more men take back the power they have delegated to you, your new ability to project the tyranny of the femininity will be over. And when you complain about not being able to take Max home to your parents, aren’t you really afraid that Max and other men won’t want to come home to meet your parents, not that you can’t bring him home because of some deficiency in him, but rather because of you? And isn’t true that you are more afraid that you losing power because of how Max and some men view your feelings, you wants and your needs are no longer parmount but subject only to their own, as you are now. Aren’t you afraid that you are becoming irrelevant to men who are beginning to reject your controlling ways? The pendulum of the society imbalance is now swinging back, and will get worse as more men get “ruined” by people with views similar to Max’s. And don’t act so innocent — what about all the women who posted on this blog claiming they would not have sex with Max but would allow him the great pleasure of buying you a drink? As if he would be interested. Who’s the oppressor and abuser now? Your control is oppression if you only allow men to pay for you, as long as they are denuded and not assertive. And how condescending is it when you characterizing men as not being able to read. Well, maybe some men are less advanced or at least slowed in their verbal expression, but you can be assured that are plenty of us who can certainly do the math. First Max, then the others, and then the rest. Yes, I can see why Max is the bane of your existence.

    Tucker is on his way out. The updated stories in the revised IHTSBIH are not nearly as good as those in the first edition- which you can buy for bargain now by the way. AFF is now slated to come out in 2010. Those in charge do not, I believe, want to see this guy succeed further. Everything has been set up to revolve around the movie, which would not have been the case if AFF would have came out as originally planned. Oh, and the movie has gotten terrible reviews, which doesn't mean a lot, but great reviews would have been better, no? In total, a book that was once destined to be a classic does not seem to be so destined anymore.

    Andrew, have you ever met Tucker? I don't totally understand how he screwed you over. E-mail me.

Tucker wrote a book about HIS LIFE ! get over it. If he lied "i dont think he did" he still didnt lie about u! go confront the basterd that fucked u over. I did! i would take a compliment from a man ,and feel good about it! if he down-grated me its no worse than girls in high schhool! grow the fuck up. See the message in the book/movie, Live your life without many regrets! now shut the fux up! Go burn a bra & make your mom's proud !

    Juan I'd love to email you but I don't see your email address anywhere.

    Basically I pestered him one morning and he hacked into my email account. I asked for my account back and he gave it back to me. What I didn't know is that I couldn't access my godaddy account that I used to register some webdomains for a business I started. When I asked for the webdomains back, I didn't get access to my godaddy account – I got an email telling me that they were being sold and I could purchase them for $100 if I wanted to buy them back.

    As far as I can tell that's ILLEGAL, but going to the police isn't nearly as fun as telling you fine people about it.

    "…Tucker Max is the author of the book “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” a series of unfortunately true stories about Tucker Max’s “adventures”…"

    Except that his adventures are not true. It has been well documented that Tucker's collection of short stories are full of inconsistencies, which have been pointed out repeatedly in newspaper stories and even a live radio interview on the Opie & Anthony show (see the Youtube video of this show, it is unintentionally hilarious). In short, Tucker Max is a liar and his work is almost entirely fabrication.

    Except nobody gives a fuck about how true the stories are except for people with lives of no substance like the fucks at the retarded blog you cited. Everyone is laughing at the comedic aspects of the stories and enjoying themselves while you shitbirds would rather skulk around being cynical displeased bitches.

    All of his 'real stories' have either been discredited or have been shown to be 95% BS, wrapped around a bland, boring, kernel of truth.

    His movie is so bad it couldn't even get distribution, so he had to pay a DIY firm to show it in around 100 theatres, instead of the 1000's he boasted he would get.

    The 'man' is a pathological liar, a douchebag, and ultimately a failure of Z-list web celeb.

    And just because someone admits they're an asshole doesn't mean that it's somehow okay.

    That anyone would think this insecure twat is promoting "living life to the full, being who you wanna be" is just depressing. Being who you want to be is not a good thing if who you want to be is an abusive prick.

    Found this site linked while surfing reviews of Mr. Max’s movie, which is bombing in hilarious fashion, and I think that some of the responses on here show why Tucker Max is successful: his message of doing what you want and not giving a shit about what other people think resonates with a certain subset of the college population who didn’t really master the “critical thinking” part of being a student.

    Everybody defending him says “Tucker Max is outside the box and does what he wants without caring what anyone thinks!” This is completely, one hundred percent true. He doesn’t just remain true to himself- he does it regardless of the consequences to anyone else. He creates chaos in the lives of complete strangers, most of which, if you read his stories, didn’t stsrt anything. This is what we call “a sociopath.” They contribute nothing to society and in fact cause it some degree of harm. Supporting him is essentially supporting a “burn it all as long as I’m happy” worldview.

    If you followed the movie at all, you’d see he was caught in numerous lies promoting himself, that he made poor decisions hurting the profitability of the movie (almost entirely financed by Darko- that’s 5.5 million dollars of somebody else’s money that he completely squandered), and ended up releasing a movie that has lost 4.5 million dollars at the box office- a movie that he claimed was going to beat The Hangover, with distribution of a couple hundred screens, and a small budget. This is a movie that, according to him, was going to “revolutionize the industry” that had a tired script that was mostly jokes his readers already knew the punchline to (when there was one- FYI, sleeping with a midget is not a punchline). This man is completely delusional. Instead of wanting to get this man the help he needs, the supporters want to protect him so they can continue to laugh at him.

    And do you want to know why people should care that his stories vary from wildly embellished to outright untrue? Because of that “New York Times Bestseller” title. Yes, this is technically true. His book even hit #1… on the paperback nonfiction list. Which means it sold at most 5000 copies a week. For an actual nonfiction paperback, this would be impressive. For a collection of amusing lies, not so much. Because of this man, somebody who actually wrote a paperback nonfiction book that people want lost exposure. So he’s hurting other authors simply to promote his pack of lies. So much for all the rhetoric about wanting to get other authors exposed that he built Rudius Media up around, huh?

    Perhaps it’s unfair to call them a pack of lies. But the one’s that had a chance of being verified could absolutely not be. No police report filed from the demolished store in the Absinthe Donuts story for the city he was in. The Chicago Wolves, the only pro hockey team he could have gone to see in his Tucker Goes to a Hockey Game story, has no record of someone attacking their mascot at a game… and they have video records of all the games ever played. For god sakes, one of his “inspirational stories” is his “hit column” for the University of Chicago’s school paper, which the University of Chicago paper can’t find in their complete archives.

    On the note of Rudius Media, of course, one has to mention that it went belly-up because Tucker Max invested everything he could lay his paws on for the movie, including a loan against his next book, Assholes Finish First. Which means he has no money to support Rudius anymore. So he screwed all those other people to chase his personal dragon of wild success. And now he’s talking about opening up things like Rudius Air, a two jet airline to cater to filmmakers filming outside Hollywood. That’s right. After his monumental failure of a film, filmmakers are definitely going to trust him in a business venture. Not to mention that he was blacklisted by all major studios back when MTV did an episode on him for being a complete jackass during filming, telling them all how he knew how to do their jobs better and calling the executive producer a “dumb cunt.” Another prospective venture is a down-home style bar in LA that isn’t designed for Hollywood types, which I’m sure already exist because the vast majority of LA’s population doesn’t actually work in Hollywood. Tucker Max wouldn’t know that though, since all his time spent in LA was wasted trying to get the studios to fund his vanity film.

    Not that Max would know anything about running a bar or restaurant. His own father, who was a successful restaurateur until he lost most of it in the divorce with Tucker’s mother (for being caught with a hooker… three times), fired him after a week. Of course, I don’t think Tucker Max knows anything about anything other than being an asshole. He also got fired a few weeks into the only law job he ever had, and given the exposure that he’s had including the Charity Auction Debacle, he will never pass the “character” examination required by the bar.

    The only thing Tucker Max has ever been successful at was his stories. Stories he had to lie about to get the exposure he has gotten. And he’s run the success he got from those into the ground, success based entirely around being at the right place at the right time, posting stupid shit on the internet for kids to waste their time on when their wasn’t nearly the volume of stupid, time wasting shit on the internet there is today. He’ll claim his success is due to inventing a new “genre” called fratire, citing an interview that the New York Times did with him (and never followed up on). Not only is this a niche sub-genre and not a full genre, but one couldn’t even make a good argument for him inventing it. The same NYT article also interviewed Maddox as a fratire author… who’s fratirical site was up 5 years before Tucker’s.

    Tucker Max is ruined. He’s burned every bridge he’s crossed behind him, and pretty much all the ones in front of him too. He has nothing left to fall back anymore, and is probably going to try to con his way into something new. And fail, because anyone who takes a minimum of time to research him will find that he’s a bad investment. He’s a snake oil salesman who stayed in town too long, and now he’s been exposed for the fraud he is.

    Yeah, I know this is an old article and no one will probably read this comment, but people should know that their defending somebody who’s lied and tried to exploit his fanbase to get a fortune while he directly lied to them.

    Assholes are finished first.

    Amen Stefan. I used to read his stories too… I used to think they were funny too, until I grew up. When you're in college and don't actually have to be a responsible adult (which clearly applies to some of the commenters), this stuff is funny and daring.

    When you've spent a little more time around people who are genuinely living the live they want, it turns out that it doesn't involve treating other people like trash. Fratire is on its way out, and Tucker Max is one of the people who can't see that, still acting at age 34 like he did ten years ago.

    I knew a guy like this from high school, even had the same nasal drip voice. I was friends with him, untill about two years ago. He told the same stories, fucked any women willing, some somewhat good looking but out of their gourd. Got into fights, which I bailed him out of. He was a small time coke dealer, and saw women as nothing more than as he put it “A pretty face, a pair of tits, an ass with a pussy in front”.

    He would loan you money, had trust fund parents and said he could hold is liquor more than he could. People like him are a dime a dozen, no need to read some fancy full tale just head to a bar, with b-grade women, and they will be there. A good amount of it was true, but it got old fast having a brain cell count above three. I don’t mean to make myself out to be a saint, but being a jack ass is only so good until you take a look in the mirror, and you realize you have hurt the feeling of people, who are not just conquests.

    Anyway, the real trick to dating a great looking woman, WORTH being with and I hate to burst T Max and his disciples bubble. Realize she is a real person, sorry no magic tricks, yes you can probably get some low brow with a boob job to bed you. Still the stories I like to think of, are one with a chick I loved to hang out with, and was cool, went to ball games with, movies, and liked the books I liked.

    Really though how bad is your life, when it is the next drink, and the next lay and not much in between. It means something then too, she has a face and a name. Before you decry me as some feminist loving Birkenstock alfalfa wine drinker, I’m not. Being a man is about, get this in part being protective of women who you profess to love. I can say with some confidence I can beat most guys in fist fight, but you see if you can, you don’t go running after it, or run your mouth about it, you do what needs to be done, and you move on.

    I’ve been in my fair number of fist fights, and I went through the lay phase. It (life) is about earning respect from people you respect. Even if “Tucker Max” lives his life like he says, it really isn’t all that impressive.I;m in college, Junior year, and too late is right about that. I spent two years before transfer at night school with a day job, and bar hopping in Manhattan. I mean it sounds nice and shiny and such, and then you see it for a while, and what it is, is crude and sort of sad.

    Long story short, being like Tucker Max isn’t hard, most people don;t write about it. That is the part that throws me off, maybe you will shoot the shit with your bros, over a few beers. But you don’t make an advert of it, that requires a new level of shamelessness. So all of you who “aspire” for that, know you have picked a dream with in reach and not worth much at all.

    Are you fucking kidding me? "because most guys don’t read books anyway"? Way to be a misandrist bitch. Not all guys are douchebags, and Tucker Max isn't going to change that. Some guys may read that and finish with a new life goal but just as many read it condemning him as a caustic, offensive asshole. And even though some guys may try to emulate his behavior, who the fuck cares? If not him, they'll just try to one-up some other Tucker Max surrogate anyway. Don't get so goddamn hung up on him.

    All I see here is fives pages of comments and a rather whiny article… All making Tucker Max more famous. You'd think in this day and age we would all understand the mentality of a person like Max…unlike you he isn't concerned with receiving hatred because it only drives book sales and his internet fame… The more we all talk about him the more successful by his standard (fame, money, and women) he will become.

    I believe all haterade is spilt under the belief that either A. the person being hated will read it and feel about about themselves… or B. That potential fans or other will read it and then NOT be fans.

    In Tuckers case I find it highly unlikely that his core demographic is reading 'collegecandy.com' and even if they were they're actually, like him, the kind of people that ENJOY the attention of being hated. Not to mention the fact that I'm sure Tucker loves all this because he already knows from his experience with things like being protested at OSU that controversy is his best friend.

    At the end of the day… NO MATTER what you say about Tucker Max… if his name is in it… he wins.

Tell us what you're thinking...
