Can I just say that this is a really underrated video? Like, when I started watching, I assumed it'd have a ton of veiws. Super high-quality and I loved your commentary!
Overall solid tierlist (Strongly agree with Third Wheel, Diper Overlode, and Hard Luck placements). Also, can’t wait until the Cabin Fever movie comes out on Disney Plus, one of my favorites in the series finally getting adapted!!!
I’m not a big fan of the Disney plus movies in all honesty, BUT I would love to see one of them be good. But even if it is good that animation is…something lol. Also thank you for watching the video!
“No brainer” has got to be either my favorite or my second favorite. I just really like how comically bad the school is portrayed while also being funny and relatable. (The one is competing with is “cabin fever”)
Cool list! Here’s mine from worst to best 18: Double Down, I understand what Jeff was trying to do, I just didn’t like what was actually in the book 17: Big Shot, it exists 16: No Brainer, my main thing with this one is that, it just felt empty 15: Wreaking Ball, again, this one exists, but there are some good jokes in there 14: Dog Days, like No Brainer, it didn’t feel like a lot happened in it 13: Last Straw, just wasn’t a lot of good jokes in it 12: Cabin Fever the ending was great and I do wanna try Drummies 11: Diaper Overload, REALLY FUNNY and a lot of Rodrick moments 10: The OG, a classic 9: The Getaway, Good beginning and ending but mid middle 8: Third Wheel, I think this one is pretty good and has great jokes 7: Long Haul, one of the funniest in the series 6: Old School, most underrated in the series 5: Deep End, very cool and interesting plot 4: Rodrick Rules, I’m bias cuz Rodrick Rules is one of my favorite movies 3: Meltdown, The final battle, that’s all I’m gonna say 2: Hard Luck, love the parts with Greg’s extended family 1: The GOAT Ugly Truth, the lock-in made this one for me

I watched this video on reddit and didn‘t see that it only had 14 likes. Underrated af. You must‘ve put SO much work into that and it resulted awesome, but it only has 14 likes?
Hot take, getaway is one of my favorite DOAWK books in my opinion , I find it pretty funny at the start but then at the beach it’s kinda funny how they have all the problems like when Rodrick gets left out at sea, but it’s your opinion and I respect it!
you read my mind! double down was really one of the most best books, since it was the first i had actually owned and i don't seem why people hate it so much like bro it dosen't deserve that much. and i like to have the meltdown and diper overlode i little bit over the top.
My ranking 1 : Last Straw 2 : Dog Days 3 : Cabin Fever 4 : Rodrick Rules 5 : Hard Luck 6 : Ugly Truth 7 : Long Haul 8 : Old School 9 : Original 10 : The Meltdown 11 : Double Down 12 : Third Wheel 13 : The Deep End 14 : The Getway 15 : Wrecking Ball 16 : Big Shot 17 : Diper Overlode 18 : No Brainer
This is a good video, and I'm greatful someone finally appreciates the deep end for the masterpiece it is. But in my opinion, the third wheel is pretty good because it has an entertaining story and we see more of Greg's past. I'd also put wrecking ball a bit lower just because the ending would have been better if they ended up moving houses. But all around, awesome content!
Something I noticed about modern Wimpy Kid books is that they're less like autobiographies and more like collections of Brewstew-esque comedy skits with a loosely connected plot.
I'd say my favorite is Old School (Followed by Hard Luck and Ugly Truth) and the one I like the least is either Double Down or Deep End, Thought what you said might make me wanna give Double Down another shot. I recall liking The Third Wheel but I haven't read that since I was young, Thought it might have been my least favorite entry Pre-2016
The only thing I didn't like about No Brainer was how they acted like Rowley was going to be a big part but then he was only in 5 pages. If it weren't for Wrecking Ball I'd think they forgot about him.
My favorite Diary of a Wimpy Kid books from Worst to Best: #18: Old School #17: The Getaway #16: The Meltdown #15: Hard Luck #14: The Deep End #13: Diper Overlode #12: Double Down #11: Big Shot #10: Wrecking Ball #09: No Brainer #08: The Third Wheel #07: The Last Straw #06: Rodrick Rules #05: Cabin Fever #04: Original #03: The Ugly Truth #02: The Long Haul #01: Dog Days
I feel the dislike for Double Down is a tad bit underserved. Yeah sure there are too many scrambled stories but the point of Greg trying to find a way in life is just as realistic as most books.
omg finally a actually good review which doesn’t put Rodrick rules at s tier (I still hate you for ranking double down good) I also think some of your ones at the end are crazy like wrecking ball and deep end
Ngl same. Rodrick Rules is a good book, but I don’t automatically think it’s the greatest. And (despite the implications) Double Down still feels like filler to me (and the pacing could be better). Wrecking Ball is decent and Deep End is pretty mid (doesn’t help that it’s the 4th vacation book).
You know I wish they kept doing more stuff with Frank, like clearly there’s something up with Frank and his father’s relationship that messed Frank up so much he treats his kids like garbage. It would be nice to explore that more. We got a lot of that in Old School which was nice.
The Ugly Truth is one of my favorite books, I don’t care if I read this as a kid I still love it anyways. Everything is so good about, and it’s my favorite book, hands down.
I like the fact that you were brave enough to put rodrick rules in C and Double Down in S and thx for putting long haul in S! Rodrick Rules is my 10th fav and even though I rate it a 9/10 I know I am gonna get hate by alot of fans
Honestly, I need to get hot dogs and dip them In hot fudge, fudge dogs sound delicious Also, I love how In (Spoiler Alert) No Brainer, Greg's school tries to prevent the other school(i forgot the name)the secret of Fudge Dogs recipe, and but he literally writes aboit It in his journal, which he wants to give to people when he Is rich and famous to spare him from talking to his fans.
You probably can within like an hour at most. Just buy Tofu dogs and hot fudge, dip the former into the latter until it's fully covered, and there it is
Whats youre favourite book mine is hard luck too Edit- sorry for not specifying but if you want put youre fav book too along with fav diary of wimpy kid
Lemme make my ranking: First book A tier. Rodrick rules: C tier, I agree. Last straw B tier. Dog days S tier along with cabin fever + ugly truth is A tier. Third wheel D tier. Hard luck S tier.
Nahh man, My fav books are RODRICK RULES, HARD LUCK,DIPER OVERLODE. maan these books are awesome but solid tier list and I also accept rodrick rules in section D Anyway it was a super SOLID tier list ma man!!!
I dont agree with No Brainer because yes its funny yes it has good writing. But the problem is that they hype up the entire plot which is "the school shutting down" and once it happens we only get 16 pages and we're back!? So your telling me that they hyped up an entire plot just to be broken within 16 pages. I give it a d instead because of the plot; I mean the plot is the most important thing in a story. The only thing that saved this book was humor and good writing.
I agree with all ypthe books which in fudgedigs besides the ugly truth and I would add the 1st and 2nd book to fudge dogs and pure third wheel, getaway and diaper overload higher and put meltdown higher
