The Edinburgh Fringe Top Ten jokes...
The top 10 were:
Rob Auton - "I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa."
Alex Horne - "I used to work in a shoe-recycling shop. It was sole-destroying."
Alfie Moore - "I'm in a same-sex marriage... the sex is always the same."
Tim Vine - "My friend told me he was going to a fancy dress party as an Italian island. I said to him 'Don't be Sicily'."
Gary Delaney - "I can give you the cause of anaphylactic shock in a nutshell."
Phil Wang - "The Pope is a lot like Doctor Who. He never dies, just keeps being replaced by white men."
Marcus Brigstocke - "You know you are fat when you hug a child and it gets lost."
Liam Williams - "The universe implodes. No matter."
Bobby Mair - "I was adopted at birth and have never met my mum. That makes it very difficult to enjoy any lapdance."
Chris Coltrane - "The good thing about lending someone your time machine is that you basically get it back immediately."
If these were the best, how bad were the rest???  |

Only the judges knew what they were looking for.
Tim Vine's is good.
He has the skill of word play and the knack of delivering the most utteringly stupid lines in a manner that make us laugh ......
I like the one by Mair as well. |

To be fair the Marcus brigstock ones are told as part of a routine leading up to that joke which in context makes it funnier unlike Tim vine who delivers them in a stand alone way and deadpan which again makes it funnier. It's about the timing and delivery |

Very true. Even the same comedian telling the same joke can make it either hilarious or crap with the wrong timing. |
