# Thought Bubble Novels The Random Comment Book Turns Unsuspecting Friends into Fools By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comment-book References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/random-comment-book-by-james-obriant/) & [jamesobriant](http://www.jamesobriant.com/index.php?/books/random-comment-book/) The Random Comment Book is without a doubt one of the funniest and most original books I have come across in some time. This simple book is designed to look like a thought bubble filled with some of the most random thoughts and questions around. The book has weird musings like, "I have asiago cheese between my things," and "All I ate today were pickles." The Random Comment Book is designed to make your friends look like fools, but in a fun and non-confrontational way. I hope the Random Comment Book isn't just a one-off creation. The humor book market is filled with lame joke books and comedian biographies; a book like the Random Comment Book could really inject some life and fun back into the market. At the very least, the Random Comment Book could be a go-to tool for instant hilarity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Humorous Novelty Books:** There is a market for humorous novelty books that provide laughs in a unique and non-confrontational way. - **Innovative Book Design:** Creative book design, such as the thought bubble format, could create disruption in the publishing industry. - **Social Interaction Entertainment:** Novelty books like the Random Comment Book can be entertainment products for social interaction and group fun. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** Publishers can create innovative book designs and unique content to target new audiences and increase engagement. - **Entertainment:** Humorous novelty books can become a new source of entertainment and social interaction, especially for the younger demographic. - **Gift and Novelty:** Retailers can target the gift and novelty market by offering unique and non-confrontational products like the Random Comment Book. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Novelty Polling Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funnypoll.md) - [Unlimited Randomly Generated Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generated-tools.md) - [Conversational Journaling Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thousands-of-thoughts.md) - [Twisted Storytelling Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storiado.md) - [Interactive Fantasy Fiction Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curious-readers.md) - [Culinary Comedian Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodheim-a-culinary-adventure.md) - [Curated Book Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bizarre-bookshelf.md) - [Historical Humankind Coffee Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-book.md)
