More of the 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said

By: Ross Petras, Kathryn Petras

Narrated by: Arte Johnson, Jayne Meadows, Bruce Vilanch, Ed Asner, Ed Begley Jr., Ben Kingsley, Michael York

Freudian slips, spoonerisms, double-talk, and nonsense from famous and infamous figures past and present, are all here in one digest that will have you howling with laughter. Imagine saying to the Beatles, "You'll never make it…Go back to Liverpool." That's what a Decca Records executive told the Fab Four in 1962. Senator S.I. Hayakawa allegedly pointed out, "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep."

Siblings and stupidity experts Ross and Kathryn Petras continue their foray into the world of awkward utterances, slips of the tongue, and just plain dumb statements from politicians, celebrities, sports figures, social leaders—even average Joes. When laughing out loud listening to this wacky compendium, remember: "If you can't keep quiet, shut up!"

Interesting but too much, too fast

This is an interesting compilation of interesting, funny, and sometimes sad quotations - but they are delivered without enough time to digest each one. If I were reading this on paper, I'd have time to ponder over each item and grasp the depth of the folly of what was being said. However in this format, it is a dizzying challenge trying to keep up. There is truly some fun stuff in here - but be ready to hit the pause button so you have time to laugh or to digest what is being related.
