Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Welcome to a heap of harmless laughs. But just because they're clean, doesn't mean they're not funny. Comedian Marty Fields has scoured his collection for great inoffensive gags. He thinks these are rippers, and he should know, he's been doing this comedy caper for more than 40 years. Jokes like to poke fun at people, things, situations, and places. But having fun at someone else's expense can stop it being fun. So here's a collection of over 1,000 gags that shouldn't upset anybody. The comedy landscape has changed but with a little restructuring of gags, and deciding if an offensive joke is worth the grief, you can still survive in comedy.
