I always liked the books with the really long sections that take like half the book. For example Old School with half the book being Greg at camp. Or The Ugly Truth with the lock in story. Those have always been the most enjoyable parts of the books for me and I’ll go back just to read that part specifically Old school is my favorite one
Nah, imo nothing worth happens and I don't feel like it has a climax I think it'd have been way better if the intire story was set in Plainview as they try to deal with the internet and energy off and the situation envolce to smtg akin to Meltdown, or at least embrance a full XIXth century aesthetic
I like the getaway the most because how much the story changes slowly as they go from a mostly optimistic feeling of the resort they reside at to a feeling of wanting to escape.
I love the arc in Old School with the monster whose name I can't remember. Especially the way it ended. ⚠️MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW⚠️ Frank made the whole thing up, which seems out of character, but when he explains himself, it's perfectly in character. EDIT: His name was Silas Scratch
silas scratch but he was made up, silas scratch is not real, silas scratch is not real, silas scratch is not real, silas scratch is not real, silas scratch is not real, silas scratch is not real,.
My top 3 3. The meltdown 2. The getaway (ik most people don’t like it😭) 1. Old school🔛🔝🔥🔥🔥 Edit: Updated list: 3. Rodrick rules 2. The getaway 1. The meltdown🔥🔥
The third book wasn't really skipped in the movies. Rather, it was truncated to fit into parts of the second and third live-action movie adaptations, especially the third one as that was the announcement when it was called "Dog Days" to fit with the summer theme but it also focuses especially on the relationship between Greg and his Dad as explored mostly in the third book, but in the movie it blends in perfectly with the summer theme as well as seeing a lot of Rowley and his Dad.
I’m of the opinion that doing that was for the best. Dog Days is kinda just a summer version of the first book so adding in the father-son elements of last straw helps it out tremendously while also giving a more conclusive arc to Greg and Frank’s relationship.
double down is personally my favorite, because i play french horn and greg plays the french horn in the book. french horn is an underrated instrument and im glad its showed in the book. 📯
Yeah, I play a lower-brass instrument as well. I just think that book was just too unorganised and the main storyline only happened at the end of the book. But hey, it's your opinion.
Wow getaway is already from 2017. I remember it coming out and buying it like it was yesterday. I always read the new diary of a wimpy kid books whenever they came out.
The camp arc in Old School is amazing, the rest of the book also, but the mix of bad state camping and pretty stupid horror myth are a combination thar is relatable and entertaining. English is not my first language, so sorry if I had any mistakes.
Naaah, bro, imo it would have been a WAY better route if the book take place intirely (or at least mostly,specially the climax) at Plainview and they had to deal with a situation like Meltdown and if they embraced the XIXth century aesthetic. Imo the camping arc really shifted the plot focus and I can how see it how it fits the theme but I feel like it'd fit way better in The Last Straw, The Getaway or even Dogs Day with their summer/vacation thematics,SPECIALLY giving how it is quite overused by now
@@atanaZion In my opinion, what makes here the "vacation arc" more special is: It's just a school trip. I think that is more grounded and relatable, and I think that don't adding the rest of Heffleys was an interesting point. Your ideas were pretty cool, but meltdown would just occur 3 years later, so that was just not in Kinney's mind.
The original Funbrain version: you're a late millennial who needs to accept that the kids who grew up on the books will always think you're as old as their parents.
has anyone even read double down or old school (criminally underrated masterpiece ngl) aside from me? i remember buying both at a scholastic book fair (remember those?) in 2018 when i was 3rd grade
I’m super glad that there is actually a GOOD side of the doawk fandom. Because the fandom is mostly inappropriate stuff or stuff that’s horrifying. Like there was this one thumbnail for one that kept me up at night and I still can’t stop thinking about how horrifying it was.
Idk why but the ones with the storylines have always been my favorite ugly truths lock in, old schools hardscrabble farms featuring Silas scratch and of course meltdowns epic snowball fight
Awesome Friendly Adventure is one of my favorites not because I like Rowley it's because the concept is amazing. It's about how hard it is to write a book when there's an editor behind your ear telling what you should and should not do. So you need to be creative to make a story where you can have your vision at the same time you keep it within the limits imposed to you by the editor and sometimes this leaves you with a better story because sometimes the editor has a better idea than yourself that improves your own vision. I never thought Wimpy Kid would get so meta but they did it and I love it

New one called No Brainer. About school, bc Kinney forgot that he was writing sbout a kid considering the last few books had barely any school so i guess he felt like he needed a new one for school. Not spoiling the plot
My favorite it’s #9 and THEY TOTALY GOT THE MOVIE WRONG AND SKIPPED LIKE ALL THE BOOKS IN BETWEEN AND WHY WAS THEIR A WHOLE OTHER STORYLINE INCLUDED IN IT LIKE WHY
I bought No Brainer about a week ago and randomly opened a page before actually reading it, and the first sentence on the page read “After my date with Sophie...” and I automatically went like holy crap I gotta read this.
I haven't really kept up or read any of the other books since cabin fever. That one was my favorite, but Lowkey old school looks fire and so do some of the other ones !

Old School was my favorite book, but since No Brainer came out that's my favorite its made me laugh, as big shot and DiperOverloade failed to so. No brainer was also in the format of a fiction book and greg predicted his future in this book
I remember the lock in section of the book! I remember when they tried breaking out by using spoons to dig a tunnel but failed and also tried getting the attention of a tow guy but also failed in that.
Meltdown is peak I think in terms of the earlier books, Dog Days was probably my favourite, I think the storytelling hit its peak there I also loved both trip books, Getaway and Road Trip were really really good Old School was also one of my all time favourites, it really felt like a continuous story and it’s genuinely amazing
Finally someone who respects the almighty Old School book The whole 2nd half of the book where they went to the farm place is the best arc in all of diary of a wimpy kid I bust out Old School just to read it

Same here bro, I like the books where it's set during school. Makes it more relatable
@@Georgiz160also they added a new one called no brained you should read it!
That’s why I love the deep end,
Same here from christ,as 2023
My favorite is the ugly truth
I like how this fandom exists sometimes
We function very nicely
It’s one of the ones that are very niche but will never go away any time soon
it appears and disappears every 23 seconds
At least it’s not toxic waste
I mean at least, it exists.
I remember being hyped for the 10th book in the series thinking it was a milestone
It’s literally the most underrated book in the world.
Nice a transformer fan
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Which one is the 10th one??
@@atanaZionold school
I legitimately cannot remember the entirety of Double Down lmao
Neither can I. I think that’s where I quit reading the books
@@MCP5030 I see
It was not too good in my opinion
I’m pretty sure there’s a part where Greg and rowley maul and eat a flock of gooses or smth
@@LeChingChongYT wha
you are so correct, old school is illegally underrated, it is amazing and you are correct about it being your favorite
I love that book, thanks for watching man!
nah that book sucks
@@Georgiz160yeah that's my favorite book!
@foxylightfox same, it was really mid imo
@@neorobloxreal you are wrong
Old School is 100% my favourite one. I love how Greg is trying to survive the camp.
Nah, imo nothing worth happens and I don't feel like it has a climax
I think it'd have been way better if the intire story was set in Plainview as they try to deal with the internet and energy off and the situation envolce to smtg akin to Meltdown, or at least embrance a full XIXth century aesthetic

They could make the getaway a movie as the sequel to long haul
@@foppish3715if so, let's hope it's better than that.

We got the same list bro
Old School was also my first book, then it was Rodrick Rules
Meltdown
Old school
Getaway
This gives the same energy as fans of a band arguing over the best album
True lol, thanks for watching man!
Wow getaway is already from 2017. I remember it coming out and buying it like it was yesterday. I always read the new diary of a wimpy kid books whenever they came out.
Suprised Jeff is still making these books! Thanks for watching bro

@@atanaZion In my opinion, what makes here the "vacation arc" more special is: It's just a school trip.

The Last Straw to Hard Luck was golden
Those books were great! What about the ones beforehand?
The original Funbrain version: you're a late millennial who needs to accept that the kids who grew up on the books will always think you're as old as their parents.
I still laugh like crazy in the movie whe Rowley says "THE FOOT HAS GOT ME!!"
No Brainer: you're glad that it went well for Greg at one point... until it was all taken away
Didn't understand this comment until I read No Brainer. Thanks for watching man!
I read up to the 10th book lol. A lot more have come out over the past 8 years it seems lol.
Yeah, Jeff Kinney is a hard worker!
as someone who's never cared for or watched the movies, I am so confused.
Not watching the Long Haul movie is a good thing!
TRUE@@Georgiz160
Watch the first three live-action ones and skip The Long Haul and the animated ones
Damn these all hit in the right place! Keep up the good work man 👊
Thanks bro!
damn, I didn't realise how many they made after getaway (that's where I stopped reading)
It's quite baffling how overworked poor jeff is
Old school & dog days are definitely my favorite, I didn't even expect them to be mentioned or remembered!
i bought dog days last summer (december 2022, i live in south america) and loved it! this video made me want to get more into the series!!
Damn the fact that i dont recognize the later half makes me feel old
Yeah...
my favorite is also old school nice vid 👍
Old School on TOP!
Same
Good but The Meltdown is king
My top three are old school, cabin fever, and the meltdown. I also think double down and the getaway were pretty good, I'm really nostalgic for them.
W list my man
@@Georgiz160 thank you bro
@@Cappydo Np homie
My favorites were Getaway, The Deep End and definitely Diper Overlode gread vidd
Those are some new ones! Thanks for watching
Am I the only one who was super mad when we learned that Greg was not moving in Wrecking Ball?
has anyone even read double down or old school (criminally underrated masterpiece ngl) aside from me? i remember buying both at a scholastic book fair (remember those?) in 2018 when i was 3rd grade
I love Old School with a PASSION!!
YES@@Georgiz160
I like No brainer,Ill never forget The ugly truth because it was my first DOAWK book.
Third wheel is kinda underrated
Glad to know I’m still the only one in the world to have Ugly Truth as my absolute favorite. Good to know.
Edit: Got my og comment wrong!
It's alright ig.
HELLO???
IM RIGHT HERE DUDE THAT ONE WAS SICK
I’m super glad that there is actually a GOOD side of the doawk fandom. Because the fandom is mostly inappropriate stuff or stuff that’s horrifying. Like there was this one thumbnail for one that kept me up at night and I still can’t stop thinking about how horrifying it was.
I never expected my favorite book in the series to be old school, something about it just really resonates with me
Idk why but the ones with the storylines have always been my favorite ugly truths lock in, old schools hardscrabble farms featuring Silas scratch and of course meltdowns epic snowball fight
Mine is the Meltdown!
Also your 100th liker!
Thanks man :D

“You think Manny is a psychopath”
Who doesn’t?
Double down is my favorite book simply because it’s the first book I read in the series.
I’m special.
This hits with nostalgia so hard bruh I have been reading these since the getaway just came out
My favorite it’s #9 and THEY TOTALY GOT THE MOVIE WRONG AND SKIPPED LIKE ALL THE BOOKS IN BETWEEN AND WHY WAS THEIR A WHOLE OTHER STORYLINE INCLUDED IN IT LIKE WHY
What would you guys like to see next on the channel? Video Suggestions are greatly appreciated and your comment will be shown in that video!
The brand new No Brainer is actually my favorite, the new ones are the best, diper overlode was also awesome
I thought No Brainer was alright, it made me laugh a few times
Yes! a Person who likes The newer ones more then The old ones and yes i agree with that
I bought No Brainer about a week ago and randomly opened a page before actually reading it, and the first sentence on the page read “After my date with Sophie...” and I automatically went like holy crap I gotta read this.
@@Gunner98 True, that was a pretty interesting book
No Brainer phasing into existence:
As a person who read it, the book's just another version of The Meltdown with more Slacksville lore
This is really accurate, I love the Meltdown and i am very chaotic
The getaway and old school is the best according to me
The getaway is my personal favourite, its such a unique setting
Bro thank you for putting a title card of the book before the book was featured with the name on the cover clarification was goated 🔥‼️🗣️
My favourite is the getaway, 2nd favourite is double down and 3rd is awesome friendly journal. I hate holidays and definitely exist.
you have the worst taste of books i ever seen
I guess anyone who’s favorite is wrecking ball is in a perpetual state of buying and selling houses until it isn’t their favorite anymore
I haven't really kept up or read any of the other books since cabin fever. That one was my favorite, but Lowkey old school looks fire and so do some of the other ones !
Dang I think I only read the first 3 or 4. I didn't know there were so many! (Or more than one movie for that matter) Kind of cool to see
The Long Haul & The Getaway Are The GOATs Really. Although Old School & Hard Luck & Cabin Fever & Third Wheel & Meltdown are perfect too.
The Meltdown is the best diary of a wimpy kid book by far! Double down feels boring after a few pages.
The Meltdown was a pretty action-packed book. I liked it. Double down is my least favourite, it's just bad.
@@Georgiz160 fr
I don't think it was bad but definitely the worst in the series
No Brainer: You keep receiving Wimpy Kid books from your aunt for Christmas and you don't have the heart to tell her no.
You are right, Book 10 is criminally underrated
Dog days is honestly underrated, prob my favorite book besides possibly diper overlode or long haul
best ones:
1-rodrick rules
2-first book
3-last straw
4-cabin fever
5-ugly truth
6-dog days
7-Hard luck
8-old school
9-third wheel
10-big shot
11-the long haul
12-meltdown
13-the deep end
(Disqualified list:)
1-1st rowley
2-rowley adventures
3-Rowly’s Spooky Scary Stories
?-no brainer (I haven’t read it yet)
Double down- get the actual fuck out of my sight and back into baldi’s schoolhouse to learn what is a positive to learn this is a NEGAVITE to the story.
DIY book- you can make it anything you want so I can’t really rate that.
Diper overlode- haven’t read, rodrick is a smash doe
Old School was my favorite book, but since No Brainer came out that's my favorite its made me laugh, as big shot and DiperOverloade failed to so. No brainer was also in the format of a fiction book and greg predicted his future in this book
I read No Brainer yesterday. Absolutely hilarious!
I remember the lock in section of the book! I remember when they tried breaking out by using spoons to dig a tunnel but failed and also tried getting the attention of a tow guy but also failed in that.
0:23 I mean technically it wasn't because they mixed parts of it into the Dog Days movie but it's sad that it didn't get its own movie
Meltdown, old school as a close second. Silas Scratch really got to me as a kid
My top 4 is
The last straw
Meltdown
Rodrick rules
Old school
I'd say Rodrick Rules and old school are interchangeable
Deep ends my favourite book. It just appealed to me a lot. I feel it’s a pretty underrated book
Manny: you either love him or hate him.
We all think Greg is a sociopath but that still doesn't give me the motivation to read Awesome Friendly Journal again
Alternative
Big shot: NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A BIG SHOT
this video makes me wanna go back and read the diary of a wimpy kid books again. I used to read them so much, I have every book except no brainer
Dang. This took me back. I found Last Straw was my favourite
Ngl The Deep End and Cabin Fever hit different in an entertaining way, or is it just me.
Double down's plot was so good, jeff only included it in the last 15 pages😭
Meltdown is peak
I think in terms of the earlier books, Dog Days was probably my favourite, I think the storytelling hit its peak there
I also loved both trip books, Getaway and Road Trip were really really good
Old School was also one of my all time favourites, it really felt like a continuous story and it’s genuinely amazing
Nah, I felt the opposite with Old School
Normally, my favourite is Rodrick rules but as soon as I saw what it said if you like cabin fever the most that became my favourite book.
As someone who went to summer camp regularly, Old School is definitely my favorite.
No brainer: you’re a time traveler
True!
Finally someone who respects the almighty Old School book
The whole 2nd half of the book where they went to the farm place is the best arc in all of diary of a wimpy kid I bust out Old School just to read it
Cabin Fever is amazing, I really liked it
The last straw wasn’t skipped for say but rather half was intimated into Rodrick Rules while the other half was used in dog days.
Rodrick Rules, Old School, and The Meltdown are amazing
Finally, an Old School enjoyer
Idk about you guys, but old school and the deep end is my fav, deep end was dramatic and old school got the chills on our spines
Diper overload is a close second to old school. And also what about the do it yourself books?
Old School is my favorite by far, I'm glad everyone else likes it too
oops guess I don't exist anymore
I just don't like the book. You can! That's perfectly normal.
I liked the tenth one, old school. The getaway was really good too
Old school is actually fr the most underrated diary of a wimpy kid book tho
Old school was my first ever diary of a wimpy kid book and stayed my favorite even after reading all of them
Old school is the best because Greg isn’t focused on games for once
My top 5:
1: No Brainer
2: Diper Överlöde
3: Double Down
4: The Getaway
5: Hard Luck
I’ve only read a few , really interested in diper overload it looks good 😂
It was actually pretty good
As a person whose favourite is Cabin Fever, I agree that Manny is a 3-year-old devil.
1: Old school
2: The getaway
3: Meltdown
4: Rodrick rules
5: Diper Over Lode
I LOVE RODRICK!
