No.8 was reasonably funny,but didn't understand No.10.

[Canary42]

No 10 explained.

Some pubs where you order food at the bar give you a large wooden spoon with a number on it which you then display at your table for the waiter/waitress to spot when he/she emerges with your meal.

For everhelpful ..some pubs have spoons with numbers instead of table numbers.

[Everhelpful]

Tim Vine is a very funny guy.

[Ric.ror]

I thought they were all funny

[anotheoldgit]

If only Bernard Manning could come back.

[sherminator]

Oh come on AOG! If Ican give you credit its at least that your trolling is usually of a high standard!

'If only Bernard Manning could come back.'

This was just pathetic though!

that sean hughes "joke" was surely crap.

[jno]

most of the 'worst jokes' were crap, except Phillips and Pascoe, but that's why they're the worst jokes. I rather liked 6, though.

[askyourgran]

No 8 joke was the best. The Ed thought so too on his thread.

[Backdrifter]

Tim Vine is one of the comedians most prone to people nicking his material. Various of his jokes get circulated on the internet with no attribution. A couple of years back on this site someone posted a load of old Steven Wright (the deadpan US comedian) jokes with no name-check, and when I simply pointed out they were Wright's jokes the poster got insultingly abusive to me.

I've been to a couple of Vine's shows and he is very funny. One had a ventriloquism routine that me crying with laughter.

[WaldoMcFroog]

The "worst" jokes were actually from the shortlist for the best joke, so they were "the least appreciated of the best", as it were.

[jno]

is that how it's done, Waldo? The BBC report just says 'worst jokes on the Fringe'. Can't believe the Bec Hill joke got onto a 'best' list of anything anywhere.
