I like the one from last year, or maybe it was the year before:nick_md wrote:I inadvertently came up with the same joke as the winner of the Fringe one-liner contest last year. Back when the new £ coin came in, at work, we were talking about it and I was expression my genuine dislike for it and said, without realising, "I just don't like change". As I said it I instantly realised I'd done a zing and many 'wa-hey!'s were had. I then saw the same joke won the Fringe that year. I'm wasted on these people, I tell ya.
Oh god that got me too.Kow wrote:That Fringe one from years ago "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Blue sky at night, day" caught me off guard for some reason and I cried laughing at it.

Even if I don’t see them coming, they just don’t make me laugh. Watching Not Going Out which is full of one liners from Tim Vine and Lee Mack has never made me laugh as the jokes are so obvious, yet someone like Jimmy Carr does. I guess I like the inappropriate humour. I read through a number of the fringe best jokes and really didn’t find them funny in the slightest.
Having said that, absolutely love Tommy Cooper. I guess you’ve just got to get it right.
