Comedian Tim Vine has won a prize for the funniest joke of this year's Edinburgh Fringe.The pun pundit, who won the Perrier newcomer award in 1995, was presented with his latest prize by digital TV channel Dave.
His winning one-liner was: "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again."
The award was judged by eight comedy critics, whose shortlist of 24 jokes went forward to a public vote.
The top 10 festival funnies were judged to be:
Also the 10 least funny. Some of the entries are UK-specific, but you should be able to get most of them.

Actually, the best joke should have gone to your posting of the UN officers with the 'let them eat bugs' line. Don't they know that - at least here in Canada - cattle tend to be grown on pasture lands which wouldn't support food crops. That's why it's Alberta foothills and dry areas where you see cattle grazing, not the prime grain-growing areas (think frost and rainfall for the reasons why those two areas are chosen).
