They are known for being cringe-worthy — but now the worst Christmas cracker joke has been named.
A poll of 2,000 Londoners found the least funny gag to be: “Who hides in a bakery at Christmas? A mince spy.”
The runner-up was: “What do you get if you cross Santa with a duck? A Christmas quacker”, while the third worst was: “What’s a horse’s favourite TV show? NEIGH-bours”.
The poll, for Currys PC World, found that one in five Londoners laugh out of politeness when bad jokes are read out.
But more than a third said they love the Christmas tradition.
Stand-up comedian Gary Delaney said people should swap their cracker joke for a funnier alternative. His suggestion was: “Who hides in a bakery at Christmas? A sensible turkey.”
