Blimey! The dad jokes on here are better than that.

[1ozzy]

Hopkirk missed his true vocation.

[Chipchopper]

I think number 5 was the best

[zebo]

No 6 for me! Allegedly, from my daughter who lives in Edinburgh, the Festival has been quite disappointing this year, very few street entertainers.

I prefer No 8 by Tim Vine

[jno]

most of those made me giggle - but not the winner, sayings like "lasagne is pasta joke" have been round for decades.

[maggiebee]

Pathetic, have seen many funnier ones here!

[FatticusInch]

3 and 6 were pretty decent.

[jno]

I liked 3 and 6 but find it curious that the funniest English jokes are by a Scandinavian. It can't be easy, being funny in a foreign language.

("I'm actually half-Swedish, half-Danish, half-Norwegian - and my favourite dishwasher tablets are Finish.")

[maggiebee]

jno - now that is funny!

he was No 1 but not his best joke really

1. Olaf Falafel
“I keep randomly shouting out ‘Broccoli’ and ‘Cauliflower’ – I think I might have florets.”

2. Richard Stott
“Someone stole my antidepressants. Whoever they are, I hope they’re happy.”

3. Milton Jones
“What’s driving Brexit? From here it looks like it’s probably the Duke of Edinburgh.”

4. Jake Lambert
“A cowboy asked me if I could help him round up 18 cows. I said, ‘Yes, of course. That’s 20 cows’.”

5. Ross Smith
“A thesaurus is great. There’s no other word for it.”

6. Ross Smith
“Sleep is my favourite thing in the world. It’s the reason I get up in the morning.”

7. Adele Cliff
“I accidentally booked myself onto an escapology course; I’m really struggling to get out of it.”

8. Richard Pulsford
“After learning six hours of basic semaphore, I was flagging.”

9. Mark Simmons
“To be or not to be a horse rider, that is equestrian.”

10. Ivo Graham
“I’ve got an Eton-themed Advent calendar, where all the doors are opened for me by my dad’s contacts.”

sorry, should have said number one in 2019

Why wouldn’t davebro's family eat at his local pasta restaurant?
Because it cost a pretty penne!
