10 of the worst jokes you can expect to see in Christmas crackers this year

In terms of festive traditions, the discover of jokes that are 'so bad that they're actually great' in the family Christmas crackers are one of the most beloved.

This being said, there are always people who will defend terrible jokes to the hilt and if you happen to have someone like that in your family, this recent survey is definitely for them.

AN open question was put to the public. Can they submit the Christmas cracker jokes that they deem to be the worst?

Having analysed the entries and votes, the most cringe-worthy dad pun of all is “What do you get if you lie under a cow? A pat on the head.

The top ten cracker jokes are as followed:

  1. What do you get if you lie under a cow? A pat on the head.
  2. Why is the government like ancient Bethlehem? It takes a miracle to find three wise men there.
  3. Why did nobody bid for Rudolph and Blitzen on eBay? They were two deer.
  4. What did the stamp say to the envelope? Stick with me and we'll go places.
  5. Why are Christmas trees so bad at knitting? Because they always drop their needles.
  6. What do you get if you eat Christmas decorations? Tinsillitis.
  7. What did Adam say the day before Christmas? It's Christmas, Eve.
  8. What did the snowflake say to the fallen leaf? You are so last season.
  9. What athlete is warmest in winter? A long jumper.
  10. What is the best Christmas present? A broken drum, you can't beat it!

All in all, there's plenty of ammunition to keep lovers of bad dad jokes happy but if anyone is eager to hear the sound of even more crickets, some of the other jokes that didn’t make the top ten include;

What carol do they sing in the desert? O Camel Ye Faithful.

How do you know if a snowman is actually a lady? It has snowballs (no balls).

How does Santa keep track of all the fireplaces he's visited? He keeps a logbook.

With gags like those, the dinner table for Christmas 2020 should be a barrel of laughs....or groans!
