What do you say when someone treads on your foot on a plane? Or when a stranger sees you cradling a baby and handing over a pint? In these moments, some people go blank. But others - true heroes - reach for a quip. From the minds behind the cult podcast Chatabix comes a wonderfully daft, strangely philosophical celebration of the humble quip: those little one-liners we deploy in daily life to get a laugh, ease the tension, or simply feel like the funniest person in the Greggs queue. In The Big Book of Brilliant Quips, Joe Wilkinson and David Earl offer a guide to employing the right quip for every occasion - whether that's walking the dog, running your local Parkrun or what to say to break the ice at the office Christmas party. Gleaned from pubs, school gates, urinals, airports and everywhere where social interaction falters, this hilarious manual offers up classic quips, risky quips, failed quips, and quips you think about years later in the shower. And yes, there's even quip theory: tips, pitfalls, and moments of public silence when it all goes terribly wrong. Packed with original material and illustrated throughout, this is the definitive guide to the lowest-stakes, highest-reward form of comedy known to man. A perfect gift for fans of observational humour, awkward men and women, and anyone who has ever made themselves laugh in a lift.
