Die lesbische US-Serienheldin und Talkmasterin Ellen DeGeneres erweist sich ebenso wie in ihrer Serie »Ellen« auch in diesem Buch als eine 1A-Humoristin und beherrscht dabei den trockenen Humor wie keine Andere. »Ich mach doch nur Spaß!« steckt voller witziger Anekdoten und überraschenden Gedanken über das Leben im Allgemeinen und ganz im Speziellen. Und auch ihr eigenes Leben ist voller Überraschungen - auch wenn diese noch in einer näheren oder fernen Zukunft angesiedelt sind: wie den Oscar gewinnen, von der Queen geadelt werden und einen Drachen im Nahkampf erledigen. Wie beim Anfangsmonolog ihrer Talkshow lässt Ellen DeGeneres auf ihre herzlich-lakonische Art und mit ihrem hinterhältigen Humor eine lustige Geschichte auf die andere folgen und behandelt dabei ganz alltägliche Dinge - das muss frau erst mal können.
