Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

A constant comfort in James' life has been music, but he's not listened to anything new for a very long time.

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay?

Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations - with a side trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him - it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic tale told by a determined idiot.

Publisher's Summary
You SLUG the guy.
You KISS the dame.
You TOTAL the car.
That's movies. And I love 'em.
Gordy LaSure's passionate about film. He eats film, he drinks film, and sometimes he'll even watch a film. But most of all, he loves talking about film, and how they'd be a shit-ton better if only people would pull their asses out of their ears and listen to Gordy LaSure.
The voyage of this audiobook can be categorised as an attempt to understand How In Hell Film Works. Why are some films bad and some films terrible? How come just a handful of films (Titanic, Porky's, Dirty Harry) are any good at all? Gordy'll tell you How and Why, and he'll give you a shot of Wherefore on the side. And he doesn't shoot from the hip; he shoots from the gut.

Ayoade at his most Ayoade!
While i was slightly disappointed at first when I learned Jon Korkes would be lending his voice to a share of the book as well, it was actually spot on having his voice for Ayo to riff on in the footnotes frequently occurring throughout.
Note - Other reviewers are right that this book reinforces the same sad point for hours, but to me that’s a crucial part of the joke. You do have to hear lots of profanity, references to “Secret Meat,” the too-often referenced Dramedy, non-whites (whole entries are devoted to the non-personhood of anyone not fitting his Arian standards) and all the failings of women as people/ stars/ non-coeds/ [insert other infuriatingly sexist/ paternalistic descriptor here].
the more I listened, it just got funnier (i thought of it as a privilege of for once to be laughing instead of crying at these real travesties during this cathartic parody). korkes plays a great know-it-all Hollywood stereotype (perhaps just a “type”).
I love Ayoade and love his brand of humor and felt like - as a woman well past my prime according the starlet/ex-wife status defined in the book, I was all in on the joke!!!!

I am a huge fan of Richard Ayoade, but this book is odd in that his—satirical?—take on Hollywood is performed by a character. I would have liked it much more if it was like, “Ayoade on Top,” and was just him, in his own voice, laying out his thoughts on the film industry.

Your life is too short to waste it on this shit.
This book is dire. The premise is that Gordy LaSure, some fictitious hollywood mainstay, is recording his thoughts on different aspects of films while Ayoade occassionally commentates. I have no idea how this came to be recommended to me.
This is written as an A-Z style thing (although it only goes to W) with tons of very small chapters for example there were 4 chapters in a row: Speaking volumes, Staging, Standing up slowly to reveal someone's true height & Stop, none of these chapters were longer than a minute. Maybe this book was designed for a dentist's office or something.
I get the joke. The author is meant to be saying 80s action was the peak of cinema and modern film is shit. This might not even be wrong but the overblown, borish nature of everything just got to be dull and grating. I can't imagine how anyone could find this funny, it was just weak and uninspired.
I think Ayoade needed to write a book and churned out the lowest effort pile of shit that he could. He even admitted to as much as part of the fictional narrative.
The narration was crap too, it sounded like the main character was being interviewed down a subpar phone line the entire time.
Honestly, I read the whole thing even though I knew I hated it after 2 hours so that I could leave an honest review saying "There is nothing in this book that is worth your time."
It's a shame, I've liked a lot of Ayoade's other stuff but this was just dire.

Not as good as other Richard Ayoade audiobooks
I really liked Ayoade on Top but the Grip of Film was no where near as witty or entertaining. The ironic sexism it’s quite grating, even though it is obviously not serious. Basically the character is supposed to be a really annoying, ignorant person and therefore the book is really annoying to listen to. I will probably finish it but it hasn’t been enjoyable.

Man in brown corduroy suit lets Gordy LaSure talk
In this audio book, tallish Richard Ayoade lets a misogynistic American gentleman called Gordy LaSure do most of the talking. All Ayoade actually does is interject in a couple of places and reads the name of each section in the A to W of what makes film work. LaSure postulates that it is only Hollywood movies (movies are films that people want to see) that have any artistic integrity and it is the "shoot em up" blockbusters that represent the highest level of this art form on the basis that they gross more dollar that the more arty type of film. LaSure champions the artistic virtues of Steve Seagal, Bruce Willis and Arnie Schwartz in particular as a role model for any aspiring male. LaSure has a very low opinion of British film and makes his views clearly. Through the medium of LaSure, Ayoade explains why certain movies work and some do not. The section of "the cat sat on the mat" is hilarious and made me spit my organic museli all over the kitchen table when I heard it (message to self, do not eat organic museli when listening to Ayoade audio books in future). It is a refreshing change to hear another's voice on an Ayoade audio book but the references to Ayoade's previous works such as his homage to View from the Top ("Ayoade on Top") is comforting and re-assuring.

A fair few laugh out loud moments but takes some getting in to
The intro is a slog, but once you’re past it and get into the character that Richard has invented, it’s pretty funny. The book is a reflection on the worst parts of Hollywood; the racism, the sexism, and the repetitive nature of mainstream movies, particularly the action movies of the 80s and 90s.

Good fun ...but ...
I felt the second half was a bit chaotic and harder to listen to than the first. Clever concept and joke, but lacking some substance in comparison to his other books. It feels like it was perhaps rushed in the writing room at times. Still, the book provides some escapism with Ayoade's classic humour.

Not a fan of that other guy..
Yeah nah, loved Ayoade’s other narrated books but I couldn’t stand listening to the narration of this by that other guy.
I stopped listening, I’m sure the content was good but seriously can’t stand listening to the other guy.
