Deep Thoughts
As originally heard on Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It!, Michael R. Mennenga has packaged up all of his “Michael’s Deep Thought of the Week” segments into a single collection called, appropriately, Deep Thoughts. Though the title may seem like an oxymoron when you consider his description is simply:
Short-form Humor from the mind of Michael R. Mennenga. Editorial on daily life and the human condition.
A man of few words, that is certain. This is on the order of our shorter books, with each segment being only a minute or so long. But fun none the less!

Kind of reminded me of eating a bag of Potato chips, they’re really good, probably not good for you, and you can’t eat just one.

Sorry, but these are neither clever nor funny. Very disappointing.

I stumbled across this podcast a few days ago, so when I was bored and sitting in my cubicle, I went to look it up. Despite some of the comments, I thought that this ‘cast was quite humorous. My only complaint is that there are only 25 of them on Podiobooks.com.

In vegitables, it is true they are live but the you need to know the difference. All animals you eat has feelings part that hearts them when some one kill them which is not in vegitables and that is the biggest reason it is allowed in vegitarian.

I don’t like to complain when stuff is offered up for free, but this…thi..th…This is to dumb….How old is the author? 16?….17?…this is the kind of conclusions a person with no life experience what so ever would land on (or a complete idiot).
It is also rather obvious that this person totally lacks the ability to set himself in other peoples place. This renders him/her unqualified to give advices on life in any shape or form.
My advice for the author is get a life….and keep your daytime job…
And I am sorry to say it but it is true, the author comes across as an idiot and I bet that was not the intention.
I also see I am not the only one who come to this conclusion.
To write a book like this, with this kind of subject takes a very clever person with lots of life experience who have seen the world, and interacted with the different people he/she met along the way.
And the most important qualification to have for this kind of undertaking is humility…NOT ARROGANCE!
POS

POS,
I think you missed the critical aspect of this work.
It’s satire.

Meh. Some episodes I really liked, some I didn’t care for in the slightest. I really love Christiana’s Shallow Thoughts, so I was originally confused about why I didn’t care for Deep Thoughts. I think the main difference is that while Christiana’s “people are stupid” humor is almost always self-deprecating, Michael’s “people are stupid” humor often has the subtext of “and aren’t I clever!”
Two other (smallish) strikes against Deep Thoughts are the excess of packaging such that only 25-50% of any given podcast is content and the banality of some of the thoughts. Some went to a wonderfully strange and unexpected place, but many of them went to a totally expected and common conclusion, at least in my view.
Perhaps a longer form would allow for Michael’s sharp wit to shine without making him sound like a jerk.
