There was an official top ten one liner jokes of the Edinburgh festival 2010 released the other day, so I am going to share them with you, five at a time… ;-) . Feel free to comment on which one liner joke you like the best and if you think these are funny one liners or not. It was set up by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel of comedy critics heard over 7,000 jokes before selecting a shortlist, which they then put to a public vote. Here they are in reverse order, starting with number 10.

10. Gareth Richards – “Wooden spoons are great. You can either use them to prepare food, or, if you can’t be bothered with that, just write a number on one and walk into a pub…”

9. Robert White – “For Vanessa Feltz, life is like a box of chocolates: empty.”

8. Gary Delaney – “Dave drowned. So at the funeral we got him a wreath in the shape of a lifebelt. Well, it’s what he would have wanted.”

7. Bo Burnham – “What do you call a kid with no arms and an eyepatch? Names.”

6. John Bishop – “Being an England supporter is like being the over-optimistic parents of the fat kid on sports day.”

I hope you enjoyed these, keep an eye out for the best 5 later in the week.

Dan the man.
