Ranking Every Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book and Movie 

Its funny because you realize that Jeff makes a reference of himself running out of ideas. In hard luck, Greg mentions reading a book series called the slumber party pals, mentioning that the writer may have been running out of ideas.

Greg's mom being a hypocrite is the most realistic thing in the books

What I like about this tier list: 1. You actually served justice to hard luck and meltdown, I swear people HATE meltdown because they just don't like it 2: You actually put Double Down in the correct spot. Its great in my opinion. What I don't like about it: 1. Dog Days was way too boring. It should be a C but close enough. 2. I have NO idea how you could put getaway so low. Tbh its great Not trying to be mean, just stating my thoughts on the books.

I love everything about old school, the running away, the backstory, the Girl Scouts, hard scrabble farms, etc

Rodrick Rules is regarded as the best one because Rodrick was the one character who was genuinely relatable and likeable throughout the entire series.

The girl named Trista is mentionedin dog days as "Then we made a mistake of inviting this girl named Trista who'd just moved into our neighbourhood. I thought it would be really nice of us to share our country-cub lifestyle with her. But five seconds after we got to the pool she met some lifeguard and forgot all about the guys who'd invited her there." As mentioned on page 3. This means that her love interest was this lifeguard and Greg and Rowley lost contact with her.

It’s impressive how this guy can remeber what happened in every book, I can bearly remember the main point of the few wimpy books I have and read

One thing I also like about the diary of a wimpy kid books is that all of the books, or at least the first 10 that I have read, are all 217 pages long, which makes it seem like all of Greg's diaries were bought at the same place.

For Trista in dog days, she was basically killed off after Greg took her to the pools and she starts talking to this other guy so I guess Jeff kinney decided against her when writing the next book

5:15 the Ugly Truth does have a consistent theme. Its about Greg having all these expectations about growing up then finally having those experiences and his expectations not being met. Thats why its called the ugly truth. The ugly truth is that growing up isn’t what he thought it would be.

I would never think that a person who looks like he is 12 years old could make a so good video and be right about almost every book. Seriously keep going like this and you will grow

This was pretty entertaining, never seen a DOAWK tier list before.

Frank: * neglects his family * Susan: * Manny’s slave * Greg: * sociopath * Manny: * 3 year old god * Rodrick: * is relatively normal * Edit:I’m not gonna say “MOm iM FAmOuS” im just gonna say thanks

Keep doing vids!❤ Your editing skills are crazy!😮

I personally LOVE old school. It’s my favorite book in the series. First of all, the lemonade. This was a GREAT idea. The whole competition with the other lemonade stands.. I just love it. Hard scrabble farms did this but BETTER. The plot twist with Greg’s dad making up the Silas Scratch stuff was AWESOME. Me just thinking about wants me to read it even MORE. And electronics free, and the whole STORY of going electronics free. I LOVED the park clean-up. Really, its 11/10. It’s just amazing. I can’t say anything about it, except two words…. “It’s amazing”

the big shot book was another one of the one plot books, it was alright, kept me in the action a little, but it didn't go off topic at all which is how I like the books. The meltdown however, was pure gold. If you say otherwise your opinion ID is false. It developed the rivalry between the 2 sides of Surrey Street extremely well.

3:45 Trista actually appears in the beginning of dog days. In it, Greg and Rowley brought her to the pool club, only for her to forget them over an attractive life guard

14:16 I AGREE LOL, IN MY HEAD I WAS LIKE, “How did this kid draw this?”

My favourite was Hard Luck. Greg was actually not much of a jerk as he usually is, and honestly wasn't wrong for being upset that Rowley ditched their friendship for a girl. Susan wasn't as annoying and did seem fair to Greg. His failed friendship with Fregley, and his crazy family, and his selfless desicion to not use the ring and break up the family and rekindling his friendship with Rowley was great. Also, screw Abagail, she used Rowley to get back with her cheating ex-boyfriend.

Double Down is the series’s equivalent to “Linsey Loses a Mitten”

I can’t believe this was you 2 years ago your channel has improved over the years and I like that also dream works video well done man great effort

Can we all take a moment to acknowledge THE INTRO PLEASE THE INTRO WAS AMAZING AND THE VIDEO WAS SO WELL MADE

Did yall notice how in Hard Luck, literally in the entire book,there are hidden plastic eggs in most of the drawings?

The thing I like about hard luck is the attention to detail, at one early point before you even know about the egg ring is that you can see the egg in the log pile on an earlier page 116 the egg is on the log pile. The same one he eventually finds on 214 that has the ring.

Hello i'm Greg

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS! I really love Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Perfect editing, perfect commentary /comedy, perfect ranking, perfect video, perfect haircut, and perfect video.

Usually people don't point this stuff out but editing really adds to the enjoyablity of a video, and your editing/ visual presentation is solid really makes everything come together

The Meltdown is by far my favorite book in the series. I loved the giant snowball fight at the end of the book. I also liked how there were able to bring back the mingo kids and make them an important part of the story.

The dad in the movies (Specifcally Rodrick rules) is the funniest thing from any of the movies. He's literally the best and steals the show anytime he's on screen

Man, this guy is so underrated, he is low key hilarious! Makes me laugh every single time!

16:39 the sleepover with Fregley does happen in the books

I almost felt bad for Rodrick at the end of Wrecking Ball. Dude nearly got kill if that hot-tub continued falling all the way down to his basement bedroom. But when it turned out that the movers took his bed with him into the truck, I gotta say, I was pretty relieved.

Personally, I LOVED every book. I understand how you don’t like the deep end but I really like how messy and bat-shit it is. Manny on the wheel is so crazy and that’s why I loved it. Messy, over the top and all over the place, just the way I like it lol

I think, that there is a difference between Double Down and something like Rodrick Rules or The Last Straw. These two didn't have one Story, but they had some sort of main motive Or theme. Like The Last Straw's theme was Greg's relationship with his father. Double Down, on the other hand was just a combination of completely unrelated stories, without any rhyme or reason. I get that some people might enjoy it, but it's definitely different in it's structure than some other books in the "Books Without Story" cathegory.

The Getaway has to be my favorite book in the series *in my opinion.* The Long Haul had a completely different structure, they were on a road trip with random things happening the whole time, like Double Down. The Getaway took place in a paradise-island place, where they explored places which made absolute sense to be there, it felt like an actual exploration of the island, and the entire book was incredibly relatable and spot on, the airplane section is relatable even if you have never gotten on an airplane. *JEFF MANAGED TO DO THAT,* and the island part was relatable, the things that happened there are still relatable when you go to hotels, motels, or rent rooms in a place you don't know.

The original will always be my favorite. Sure, it's not perfect, but it was the first book in the series that I read. I've been in love with the series ever since, and got most of the books except for the Rowley books and such.

*THANK YOU* finally someone gets me about double down, this one made me laugh so badly 😂

I really like most of your opinions. Personally really like the first 8 books with a passion

3:48 Actually, somewhere at the start of the book I believe Greg says that they took Trista to the golf club that Rowley has, but Trista ended up ditching them when she saw a lifeguard.

I think the meltdown is my favorite one, but mainly because of the epic battle. I prefer meltdown over cabin fever. I dont think the deep end was bad, I mean, the idea of a trip has been repeated but its still a good book. Most of this is correct, but the new book (Big Shot) is a solid A. Im not a huge basketball fan but I enjoy the plot and the storyline with some of the people from the other books returning. Also, the girl in the 1st movie that you dont know of is Holly Hills.

i love how creative the intro was!🎉

underrated channel

This made me so nostalgic. I can’t be the only person wondering when all these books released, when I was a kid there was only like 5-6 of them

The original book’s movie adaptation was so good with its character development that it makes the book look bad

Does anyone notice or Every time when people make Diary of the Wimpy kid movies why do they always skip the Last straw all the time?

The long haul is my favourite the whole beardos being a big part but then phasing out and randomly popping up it was just the best

4:16 Actually, Sweetie is referenced and shown a couple times in later books after being given to Greg's grandma by Frank and we see he's gotten really fat to the point of being immobile because Greg's grandma overfeeds him. Even has his own room in her house. The pig is the one who disappears without a trace after a couple book appearances and has yet to reappear

Trish was shown barely in dog days, mostly at the beginning. She’s mostly just thrown aside because Greg states she only went with Greg and rowley just to visit a rich country club and talk to hot lifeguards

I can argue that the reason why the random events plots stringed together works well for these books is because they are written as journals of a middle-schooler. Most of them aren't going to be a cohesive whole story unless a large event happened in his life that he wants to go into great detail of, but that's not every single day of everyday life. It's something this series normally excels in.

Double down is the most memorable book for me I didn’t even remember that the things I read came from that book but I remembered it starting with him talking about a show where a guy’s life is recorded without him knowing and the horror movie thing

The dedication of this video is amazing, you're criminally underrated man.

I bet a whole community can agree that he should’ve bought the hard cover books

I’ve read Rodrick rules and it was pretty decent tbh btw will you make a part two for the new books?

Meltdown is my favorite my favorite meltdown part is when the lower Street Kids Vs The upper street kids

I think the ugly truth is one of the best books because it’s one of the few where it feels like Greg actually gets some development

Does anyone recall in The Last Straw that there was a bit where greg had to wear glasses cause it turns out he wears contacts and this was never brought up ever again in the later books?

i 100% agree with you on dog days, I really like the whole concept of no electronics, but i would think its a little better then some of the books (Mainly because it was the first wimpy kid book ive ever read)

for me the meltdown is the best, it’s actually a situation you would want to be in, also it has alot of action

Trista was actually in dog days. She was at the part where Greg talks about he and rowley chillin at the country club, and he mentions that she met a cute lifeguard and ditched them

I love the little arc Manny goes through in this video, showing his rise to power in Hell. He starts as a spawn from Hell, then turns into a spawn from a Gremlin, then finally takes his rightful place as a spawn of Satan himself.

Keep up the work Chaze!

You just earned yourself a subscriber

The third wheel is my favorite because not only was it the first book in the series I ever read,but it also shows Greg when he was little and before he was even born!we don’t really get many books that start talking about when Greg was younger.

I remember when this series first came out and my whole friend group hopped on it. Having only the first book and then having to either wait on the book fair or when mom takes you to Walmart so you can pester her to buy you the new one was a challenge though. I stopped reading before hard luck since I aged out of it and all the new books just don’t hit the same as the first 4.

The Getaway is my favorite book since its based in a resort throughout the story and it was so refreshing

That music at the begining is so nostalgic at the start

Absolutely love the rankings. Hard Luck is probably one of my favorites because not only was it my first book in the series, it felt like their was continuity in it as well. I love most of the books, but Hard Luck always feels different if I ever re read it. Great ranking.

Unfortunately I stopped reading after old school, but I plan on continuing the series very soon. I always remembered my favorite however being Cabin Fever, and also Rodrick Rules, one bc I love the color blue but also bc they were the two I felt were the most memorable. All the books are great, but when I think Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the first two books that come to mind are Rodrick Rules and Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever will have a special place in my heart because it's the first one I ever read. It's the only one my younger brother had at the time and since I'm a girl I always figured it was "for boys". Since then I've read almost all of them until The Meltdown (another one of my favorites) and I've watched Roderick Rules more times than I can count. I love these books and they're really a comfort series for me.

8:56 did Greg really have a diamond sword in his room

Oh, Hard Luck was also the first book I read. I was just looking through the new books my brother gave to me and saw “Diary of a Wimpy Kid-Hard Luck” and I flipped through a few pages and it looked decent so I read it, once I finished I just read more and eventually read the whole series.

One of the Dairy Of A Wimpy Kid book mentions how they invited the girl to the country club but how the girl immediately fell in love with someone else at the country club and ditched them.

1:05 you’re not too lazy to read them you’re reading every single diary of a wimpy kid book

You are like one of the best creators in youtube

I have to say that my favourite one is Wrecking Ball, because it centers around the house, and that's great because we can see of more how they live together.

Hey , Trista is their in the book. She hits it off with a pool-guard in Rowley's Dad's Membership to that resort sorts and doesn't get any character development further.

I love how you love the books except for the last books but rowloeys journal

The Long Haul book (not the movie) deserves an S Tier in my opinion not only it was my first wimpy kid book, it has the best main story telling of all the wimpy kids books for me Otherwise relateble showing of these books and movies tierlist 👍😄

You don’t have to be a DOAWK channel. Your editing talent and review of nostalgic things is what I’m excited to see.

15:51 Susan, why are you smiling?

Very nicely put together!

i really like the running gag in no brainer where the janitor robot becomes sentient and starts looking for a job and going to class etc lol

My favourite is always gonna be The Meltdown because the fight at the end is just so epic

17:47 You placed < on the wrong side.

0:32 the way he got the first book to land in the center at the end is artistic in a way

3:35 look at the beginning of dog days, they say they brought a girl (Trista) to country club but she didn't really focus on Greg and rowly so they stopped inviting her

This should definitely be a sequel because of the animated movies and the other books that came out plus the movie diarys you missed and yes the book has a movie and the movie has its own to book sub-series called movie diary

The first book was amazing but they got better and better. My favs are Cabin Fever, The Long Haul, Wrecking Ball, and Big Shot.

This video is super well done and I can believe that some good amount time went into this. The editing is amazing and the script is funny and well thought through. Keep up the good work, love what you're doing.

The intro were he was throwing the books was very very good

I definitely understand your reason with Nostalgia. It's the Same with Getaway for me. I hold Fond memories of my First flight-vacation regarding the getaway. So I understand your Point and Bad Luck is a great book, even though Not the best for me
