How to Be a Complete Bastard

How to be a Complete Bastard is a 1986 satirical how-to guide by British comedian Adrian Edmondson, written under the guise of his character Sir Adrian Dangerous. The book compiles absurd, crude, and darkly comic advice on how to be a "complete bastard" in everyday situations — from parenting and school life to social interactions — delivered with the irreverent wit that made Edmondson's comedy act famous. Originally published by Paul Lamond Games Ltd., it was later adapted into a board game and video games for 8-bit home computers, becoming a cult classic of British alternative comedy.
