Mock The Week: Scenes We'd Like To See #5
Mock The Week's Only Book You'll Ever Need
An indispensible guide to life, the universe and childish smut, from the creators of the highly rated BBC comedy show
Mock the Week is back, with an hilarious collection of brand-new gags for anyone who has at any time been born. Taken together, these one-liners will help you navigate the ups and downs of life whether you're eight* or eighty†. Categories include:
Bad Things to Hear in a Maternity Ward: 'In an attempt to empathise with my wife, I want you to ram this pineapple up my backside.'
Unlikely Greetings Cards: Sorry to hear about your mother. (On the plus side, you can afford that new house, now.)
Bad Things to Shout During Sex: 'Did you hear that? Did they just say England are 81 for 5?'
Unlikely Things to Read on a Gravestone: Fell asleep on 16 August 2004. Unfortunately whilst driving a truck on the M5.
Unlikely School Report Cards: Dear Mr and Mrs Johnson, Boris is a very popular and intelligent boy who should go far, just as long as he isn't ever put in charge of anything complex.
*Probably best not to give this book to an eight-year-old.
†Or to an eighty-year-old.

Love these books - from 'Bad things to hear at your 40th birthday party' to 'Unlikely things to read on a motorway sign' there's loads of one-liners to have a bit of a laugh over. Some language though so grown ups only

This tried too hard to be funny and shocking. It didn't achieve either. Jokes older than I am mixed in with celebrity jokes. Just not that funny or edgy.
One to avoid.

Funny but not as much as seeing the lines performed by the comedians on the show itself. As the saying goes, the joke is in the telling.

Funny, but too many boring, crappy football jokes, just like the show.
