Pundamentalist: 1,000 jokes you probably haven't heard before
Autor Gary Delaneyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2022
Observăm în ultimii ani o revenire spectaculoasă a umorului bazat pe jocuri de cuvinte, o formă de divertisment care transformă limbajul într-un teren de joacă intelectual. Pundamentalist reprezintă materializarea acestei tendințe, oferind o selecție de 1.000 de glume originale semnate de Gary Delaney, un maestru al structurii „one-liner”. Ne-a atras atenția precizia aproape chirurgicală cu care sunt construite aceste fragmente; nu este vorba despre anecdote lungi, ci despre „mușcături” comice care se bazează pe dublul sens al cuvintelor și pe răsturnări de situație imediate.
Fanii volumului All Puns Blazing de Geoff Rowe vor recunoaște aceeași atenție la mecanismele lingvistice britanice, aplicată aici într-un context mult mai personal și dens. În timp ce Geoff Rowe celebrează umorul de club, Gary Delaney — cunoscut pentru aparițiile la Mock the Week și Live at the Apollo — aduce rigoarea unui scenarist care a scris pentru Jimmy Carr. Experiența de lectură este comparabilă cu un bufet suedez de spirit: autorul recomandă savurarea lor treptată pentru a aprecia ingeniozitatea fiecărui calambur. De la comentarii sociale subtile la glume absurde despre viața de zi cu zi, textul evită vulgaritatea gratuită în favoarea inteligenței narative. Merită menționat că volumul reușește să păstreze un ritm alert, deși formatul de glume scurte ar putea părea fragmentat; unitatea este dată de vocea distinctă a lui Delaney, un artizan al umorului care știe că, uneori, cea mai scurtă cale către râs este o propoziție bine plasată.

Descriere
'A rollicking joyride. . . Pundamentalist has puns for the whole family: rude ones, daft ones, deft ones, stinkers and absolute belters.' - British Comedy Guide
Gary Delaney, one-liner extraordinaire, has appeared on shows like Mock the Week and written for the likes of Jimmy Carr, Jason Manford, and James Corden. Now, for the first time, comes the first collection of his finest jokes. Featuring the likes of:
Garden centres can't reopen fast enough for me, I've been living on borrowed thyme.
We can't even afford a garden, so when my girlfriend bought us a trampoline I hit the roof.
Sure everyone cares about straws killing dolphins now, but they've been breaking camels' backs for years.
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, which explains why Prince Andrew is so stupid.
Sad news: The British simile champion has died. We shall not see his like again.
My mom doesn't trust my dad's secretary. I asked her why, and she just said 'I've seen her type before'.
Today someone told me that I look good with a salt 'n' pepper beard, so I took that as a condiment.
My French pen friend just said 'Le Monde', which means the world to me.
Can anyone tell me what FOMO stands for? Everyone else seems to know.
Actors have got Equity, Magicians have got the Magic Circle, but it's a shame ventriloquists don't have anyone to speak for them.
Does anyone know if it's safe to dye your pubes? It's a bit of a grey area.
And make sure you look out for Gary's next book, about Stockholm Syndrome: it starts off badly but by the end you'll really enjoy it . . .
