Man, between this and what'll be my next review I'm kind of left without much to say.
It kinda does what it says on the tin. There's these three high school dudes and they talk about stuff and make each other do stupid stuff and get involved in weird situations. It stands out among slice-of-life series for having a primarily male cast and its humor being wacky without quite crossing into inappropriate, at least most of the time.
It's pretty darn funny, but really, what do you say about everyday lives anime? There's no plot to speak of, though there's a lot of wackiness and backstory and a fairly large cast that you won't get tired of. The jokes and situations are often embarrassing as hell. The girls (who are fairly present, despite the high school in question being all-boys) are variations on terrifying, rude or crazy, but in a way that feels honest (these particular girls are crazy) rather than derisive (this is what girls are like).
I should also admit that I'm a fan of the voice actors involved, who are probably best known as Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Zack from Final Fantasy 7 and Kyon from the Haruhi Suzumiya series. They've all done lots of other work but those are the ones most likely to be recognized to a broader western audience, and they're all clearly enjoying themselves in this piece.
If you want something really random and silly that isn't trying to appeal to anything except your humor, the Everyday Lives of High School Boys is pretty much the perfect slice of life series for you. If you want romance, plot, development, or emotions other than laughter then find something else.
