Worst Jokes at the Edinburgh Fringe
The ANYVAN courier services team are as good as their word. Here are some of the worst jokes at the Edinburgh Fringe. And our particular favourite is (drum roll).
It goes like this: “Why did the chicken commit suicide? To get to the other side.”
Yes, we know, but it helps if it’s late, you’ve had a few snifters and it’s time for an extra-hot Vindaloo, with extra chillies. And by the way, that joke was from Sara Pascoe.
Here’s another one that’s infamous for being one of the worst jokes around. It’s from Sean Hughes: “You know city-centre beat officers… Well are they police who rap?”
Even the courier services team can’t argue with that one’s inclusion into the joke hall of shame.
Here’s another one which is high up in the painful chart and it comes from John Luke Roberts: “I made a Battenberg where the two colours ran alongside each other. I called it apartheid sponge.”
A really random one comes from Emo Philips: “I like to play chess with bald men in the park although it’s hard to find 32 of them.”
Bec Hill came up with: “Some of my best friends are vegan. They were going to come today but they didn’t have the energy to climb up the stairs.”
And a demonstration how fickle fame is comes with two jokes from Dan Antopolski. This year he got a worst joke gong with: “How many Spaniards does it take to change a light bulb? Juan.”
But last year he got the Dave trophy with: “Hedgehogs – why can’t they just share the hedge?”
If you are a glutton for punishment – like the courier services team here – or just want more colour from the Edinburgh Fringe, then have a look at the BBC website which devotes quite a lot of space to the annual jamboree.
