"Hummeldumm": Gute Laune können Sie hören: Hummeldumm bedeutet "Dumm wie ein Rindvieh". Der vierte Roman von Autor Tommy Jaud wurde zu dessen bisher größtem Erfolg. Da Jaud bereits für die Comedyserie Ladykracher, die SAT1-Wochenshow und die heute-show geschrieben hat, ist Lachen bei ihm Programm.

Simon nörgelt, Simon nervt - aber Simon verbessert die Welt. Glaubt er. Kirchenglocken, Klopapierperforationen, Karriere-Frauen - das sind so seine Widersacher. Außerdem braucht der inzwischen arbeitslose Vollidiot mal eben eine Million Euro, um eine nervtötende Nachbarin loszuwerden. In seiner Not entwickelt Simon eine derart abgefahrene Geschäftsidee, dass die Chancen hierfür gar nicht so schlecht stehen.

Rumänische Waldfonds und Aktien vom Magerschwein: Mit "Überman" präsentiert Comedy-Autor Tommy Jaud den dritten Band seiner Simon-Peters-Reihe.

Und nicht wenige von ihnen kommen Sekunden später mit ihrer zukünftigen Ehefrau aus Cafés, Supermärkten und Bowlingcentern. Gut, danach gibt es dann oft noch ein paar kleinere Probleme wie Untreue, Erpressung und Schießereien, aber am Ende ist immer alles gut.

Was genau treibt Nicos Frau in dieser seltsamen Kuschelsekte, und warum flüchtet im Großraumbüro sogar der Saugroboter vor ihm? Als er bei einem Wutanfall eine Kaffeetasse auf den Finanzvorstand wirft, schickt sein Chef ihn in den Zwangsurlaub: Entweder Nico kommt entspannt zurück, oder er ist seinen Job los.

But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment.

That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

The True Story of The Coward Brothers follows two musical brothers – one English, one American, both the illegitimate sons of dubious parentage who may, as they claim to be, "one and half-brothers" – perhaps a reference to the disparity in their height and relative talents.
