…Or perhaps not.

Digital TV channel, Dave, announced the award for the funniest joke at the Edinburgh Fringe. It all seems rather dull TBH. The best joke was more meh. So, gentle reader, the top 10 colour-coded with my vote; the easier to read, the better they are:

• You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks. Stewart Francis (a man who's clearly never heard of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates)
• Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly. Tim Vine
• I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister. Will Marsh
• You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your book case. Rob Beckett
• I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet… I don't know Y. Chris Turner (actually, I've only just understood that one, and it's still not funny)
• I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze. Tim Vine
• Pornography is often frowned upon, but that's only because I'm concentrating. George Ryegold
• I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting! Stewart Francis
• I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: It's not rocket salad. Lou Sanders
• My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… she wouldn't fancy her chances. Nish Kumar

Oh, the humanity!
