Top 10 jokes at the Edinburgh Fringe

[Martok]

I read this morning via BBC News about the top 10 jokes as voted for by a panel of 10 judges for TV channel Dave. Here they are:

1. Stewart Francis - "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks."
2. Tim Vine - "Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly. "
3. Will Marsh - "I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister."
4. Rob Beckett - "You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your book case."
5. Chris Turner - "I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet… I don't know Y."
6. Tim Vine - "I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze."
7. George Ryegold - "Pornography is often frowned upon, but that's only because I'm concentrating."
8. Stewart Francis - "I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting!"
9. Lou Sanders - "I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: 'It's not rocket salad."
10. Nish Kumar - "My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… she wouldn't fancy her chances."

Do you find these funny? All of them? Some? None?

Discuss.

Number 7 was funny but never heard of the bloke, Can't stand Tim Vine! Stuart Francis Is sometimes funny on Mock the week.

5 and 8 made me chuckle the rest got groans or no response. I'm a big kid at heart. Sarah Millican makes me laugh, wheeze, choak and cry due to laughing too hard. I generally tend to avoid watching Live at the Apollo etc as if I find them funny I often end up a wheezing coughing asthmatic mess.

I'm just playing this and Halo is laughing her head off, so I thought I'd share it with you too. The video that is, not her raucous laugh.

I found them all funny so I don't know what that says about me. Tim Vine and Stewart Francis are 2 of the funniest one liner comedians about.
