Oh come on you have got to be joking number 5 is definitely the funniest in fact i would say Gary Delaneys jokes were overall the funniest...

Top ten best jokes judged at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

1) Tim Vine - "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again."

2) David Gibson - "I'm currently dating a couple of anorexics. Two birds, one stone."

3) Emo Philips - "I picked up a hitchhiker. You've got to when you hit them."

4) Jack Whitehall - "I bought one of those anti-bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say 'bought', I actually stole it off a short, fat ginger kid."

5) Gary Delaney - "As a kid I was made to walk the plank. We couldn't afford a dog."

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

7) Bo Burnham - "What do you call a kid with no arms and an eyepatch? Names."

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."

9) Robert White - "For Vanessa Feltz, life is like a box of chocolates: empty."

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…"

I liked no 1 but I do like Tim Vines style.

Jack Whitehall keeps reusing that joke, I have heard him do it at least 3 times before the festival!

I've noticed that a lot of Tim Vine's jokes get attributed to Tommy Cooper. It's a bit unfair really. Still can't get my head around the fact that he is Jeremy's brother!

No, the best one line joke in Edinburgh must surely be the trams.

No.8 is by far the funniest out of the list. Rest just seem far too predictable and overused IMO

You're right. He should only ever tell a joke once, and write a whole new script for every appearance he ever makes.

Indeed.

Although at the very least I would hope he wouldnt keep repeating the same jokes over and over on TV.

Hilarious though Tim undoubtedly is, I often find Jeremy funnier.

He does appear to have what I consider to be the best job in the world ever.

Not even a titter. If they were the ten best, then we're in for a miserable few years.
