Richard Osman has been trying to settle the most important issues society faces today. Who would win in a head-to-head between Quavers and Cheesy Wotsits? And What's the ultimate Christmas film (Home Alone, obviously). The World Cup of Everything is an incredibly popular format that began life on twitter where his hilarious polls received 1.5 million votes a go becoming a national talking point, inciting debate amongst twitter users at odds over their favourites, celebrities and key figures join in, bookies offer odds on the outcome, papers report on it all as if it is a real sporting event with headlines about how Richard Osman has melted the internet.

This autumn we're bringing The World Cup of Everything to the page in a brilliant book perfect for Christmas. With new competitions such as The World Cup of British Sitcoms, Christmas Songs, Animals, British Bands and so on, as well as some of the favourites that have already had the country talking: Chocolate and Crisps among them, Richard will offer commentary, share funny, quirky pieces of trivia and stand-up style entries about each of the contenders. The World Cup of Everything will offer something for everyone making it the perfect gift for pretty much anyone.

This is Richard at his best: super smart, quick-witted and writing about the matters that the British public really care about.

Review

Last year saw Dairy Milk crowned the best chocolate bar in Richard Osman's World Cup of Chocolate Twitter poll - if you disagreed, now's your chance for a rematch. In The World Cup of Everything Osman offers this and many more tournaments for families to play amongst themselves.―Radio Times

A lot of fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

A great book that is a lot of fun for a good while! On average, it takes us about 30 minutes to do each "World Cup" and I use them with our youth group as a different icebreaker as we love to argue about our favourite type of biscuit/crisp/Disney film. It was particularly good for the price as there are so many examples and it can be adapted for so many more. Would definitely recommend
