Product Description

"Man Walks Into A Bar 2" is the second volume of the hugely popular joke series - a one-stop shop for anyone who likes to hear and tell jokes. The jokes are ordered thematically - wives, husbands, doctors, lawyers, the French, the Germans, jokes about nuns, jokes about monkeys, the lot. There are also regular panels which group jokes by type too - Essex girls, changing a lightbulb etc. Our material will turn you into the toast of your local pub or make you loathed in your own home - remember, it is all in the telling. From the sublimely erudite to stuff Frank Carson would turn down, this book can service you with every joke you'll ever need. This book includes such gems as the following: Why have elephants got big ears? Because Noddy won't pay the ransom; a magic tractor is driving down a country road and turns into a field; an amnesiac walks into a bar; Do I come here often? I went to a book shop and asked the saleswoman where the Self Help section was. She said if she told me it would defeat the purpose; how do you know when you're a pirate? And, you just arrrrrggghh.

Customer Reviews

Half the content, half the humour
If you've read the first book in this series you might welcome this as a long overdue follow-on. Truth is it's a complete disappointment. The print is twice the size of the first one (so there's less in it) and the 'jokes' are luke warm at best. If you wondered where they get those 'hilarious' jokes they give away free in Christmas Crackers, you've just found out. But keep it to yourself, though in reality there's little you'll want to share from this doorstop.

Man walks into a bar!
When I read this for the first time, I couldn't stop laughing!
This is a hilarious coffee table book.
Unbeatable!

A right clunker
I'd seen the first book in this series and was pleased to see there had been a follow up, but this was a disapointment. Really this book ought to be called 'Man Walks into a Primary School' as most of the jokes seem to be aimed at ten year olds and younger. It would be a good childrens book except that many of the jokes are obviously meant for adults, so it makes for an odd mixture. I also noticed that many of the longer jokes are also found in the first book (Man Walks into a Bar). Finally, the writer doesn't seem able to 'tell' a joke properly. Reading most of the gags was like drinking flat lemonade.
