The Brand new Monty Python papperbok Book

This brand new (rather old now, actually) Papperbok contains a wide selection of very silly things in the vein of good old Monty Python humour, which anyone who reads this bo(o)k should be quite familiar with from the Flying Circus (If you haven't seen the Flying Circus, shame on you! Go and do that first before considering the papperboks!).

Aforementioned silly things include poems about gardening, a story about detective René Descartes, a lot of jokes about Hitler, information on deodorants and masturbation (not simultaneously unfortunately), rat recipes (gonna make me a scrumptious rat soufflé this evening), a fantastic and very colourful story (about and in colour), a lot of advertising, the amazing Page 71, a wonderful fairy tale and much more.
Except for one item about holidays (travel agency sketch) everything in this book is original, with a few shout-outs to some of the better known sketches.

While it's a lot longer than the first one (Monty Python's Big Red Book, which had a lot more tie-ins to the television series) the average quality seems a little lower this time around. Everything is still very pythonesque and there are still a few real screamers, but some articles or stories are just too lengthy and stop being funny long before they're done. Additionally some of them aren't just long, but also seem forced, making them a chore to get through.

Regardless, fans of the British troupe should get their fill of laughs from this Papperbok and I can certainly recommend it to Monty Python lovers (although I recommend the Red Book just a little more).
