It promised a lot but delivered little. Easy to read, but no new insights.

Carr and Greeves have a pretty solid idea of how comedy works, and dissect jokes and humour with great skill and cite some good research. The jokes in the book are also very solid, even if I had heard almost all of them before. For me, it was a bit too afraid to be delve deep, and tried too hard to be funny, but otherwise delivered as promised.

This book is a funny look at jokes that works well. They explore joking in our society, history, what it's for, how humour is useful, theories of humour, offense, and every other part of joking.
