The 80 best jokes from the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe[^]

If these don't make you laugh, there is something wrong with you.

Indeed. But what exactly? Sniff | :^)

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Actually it's only 79. The bagpipes joke appears twice, ironically rather undermining its point!

Ironically, also one of the worst of the jokes listed. Smile | :)

Not sure how you can even find one that's worse than another. They nearly all were terrible. Boo. Boo!!

Did you really think so? Is it that you don't get the humor, perhaps? There are some pretty awful jokes in there but some quite funny ones as well.

Tim Vine[^], in particular, always gives good value. Note that not all of those jokes are his: some are from a long dead comedian called Tommy Cooper who, quite literally, died on stage in the middle of a joke. I met him once. Miserable git in real life.

If you understand the punchline but don't think it's funny, do you actually get the joke? Good question.

Indeed: but do you have an answer to my question? I am curious. For instance: "I used to think an ocean of soda existed, but it was just a Fanta sea." If you don't know what Fanta is, you can't get
the joke.

Were there any that did make you laugh?

I did. I get the jokes, they aren't funny.

Fanta Sea? That makes you laugh?

Granted, if my 6 year old was telling me these jokes, I would laugh.

It really doesn't appear so.

Do you know the reference?

If your 6 year old was telling these jokes he/she should go to Edinburgh and book a gig - they'd make money.

Anyway, you don't understandBrit humor: that's okay: few Americans are sophisticated enough to do so. Smile | :)

Nice try. You've already embarrassed yourself claiming those were jokes, now your digging your hole deeper.
