Raw. Insightful. Uncompromising.
Not just a self-help book for chronic masturbators, The Get Rich and Become God Method is a 2021 self-help parody published by famed internet personality dril, comprised of unique artwork, opinion pieces, stories, and essays, all presented as a 28-step guide to getting rich and becoming God.
The Get Rich and Become God Method contains examples of:
- Butt-Monkey: Though dril firmly believes himself to be a No-Respect Guy, citing various misfortunes and abuse from Trolls, he's more like one of these. The mayor of his home town also seems to have constructed a giant mocking effigy of him as documented across a handful of newspaper clippings (a monument which dril eventually tries to destroy via suicide bomb, but fails).
- Crapsack World: Even setting aside the perspective of its deranged inhabitants, the world the book presents isn't the rosiest place to be. Plagued by failed super soldier experiments, giant worms (apparently), rampant consumerism, and major corporations acting seemingly without restraint or regulation.
- Fun with Acronyms: Exaggerated. Each of the aforementioned 28 steps corresponds with a letter in the book's title, though many of them are at best tangentially related to the topic, and they all spiral downhill as the book goes along.
- Greater-Scope Villain: dril's hated nemesis Digimon Otis is the one pulling the strings behind SuperPretzel, or at least that's what he seems to think.
- Product Placement: Parodied throughout. The book is 'sponsored' by SuperPretzel, who impose mandates on the book such as advertisements, at least until dril accuses them of being in league with Digimon Otis and calls off the deal.
- Sanity Slippage:
- Already tenuous, the book loses any pretense of being a self-help book toward the end, with the penultimate step advising that you become God by killing yourself (though not without first destroying the book lest the police find it), and finally culminating in an unhinged rant against SuperPretzel and Digimon Otis—the page's formatting even degrades to hammer this home.
- Dr. Mutant Turd, a chronic masturbator who starts off theorizing about the possibility of masturbating for more than 24 hours a day and thus transcending time, and ends his arc having apparently killed himself in a house fire after a particularly unhinged screed involving katanas, his remains found laying prostrated in front of one. This, coupled with an unrelated ad extolling 'prone masturbation' earlier in the book, would seem to imply that he somehow succeeded in transcending time, or tried to.
- 'The Big Guy' from the Pitchman segments becomes irritated with the eponymous Pitchman after the failure of Pervert Hunter X, until the final installment wherein he's already consumed a lethal dose of Mexican Pentobarbital amid what seems to be a post-apocalyptic Earth if the 75 IQ Trillionaire columns are to be believed, though it's difficult to say for sure what's going on exactly.
- Stylistic Suck: Naturally for dril, though it's marginally more coherently-written than his tweets.
- Super-Soldier: The US military attempted to create these, resulting in the "Bismuth Men", recurring characters across the book's illustrations. The scientist responsible for their creation seems to believe they were crafted by God as punishment for Man's hubris.
- Take That, Audience!: dril occasionally makes jabs at the reader, usually in the form of random insulting screeds or deriding them for needing the book's advice in the first place, and sometimes projects his own insecurities onto them.
