I don't know which I've got most contempt for. These appalling hacks that make it their life's work to turn humour into a form of article 3 prohibited torture. Or the simpering fuckwits that pay to watch this kind of material, and supply the undeserved laughter in numbers.

The 'North Korea/what venue?' one was worst, imo. It flat-lined in terms of humor and showcases the worst aspects of pandering to your audience and overstrained topicality. I thought the Wales/vagina was in a dead heat with the suit/sex fantasy one for second worst. The suit one was just dismal while the Wales was borderline incoherent.
But the overall quality was slightly up from the past ones polled here.

These are *a bit* better, but half of them obviously have a element of delivery which cannot come across when written down, so surely not suitable for the article? Maybe this is why we had all the lame dad jokes before, they at least made sense.

first one is good but it's all downhill from there imo

Constructing a joke around a punchline is a good way to construct a shitty joke.

Winner:
