The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is one of the worlds’ most renowned entertainment, culture and arts festivals but what it is even more renowned for is the comedy scene.

And every year we hang out to find out who won the funniest joke.

This year, well known comedian Tim Vine won the award however even though his joke was awarded over a fifth of the total votes, the general public are putting it in a place of harsh questioning… Is it really the best joke?

The winning line was…

“I’ve decided to sell my Hoover… well, it was just collecting dust”

Was it worth it? Is it a cracker? Did you laugh reading it?

Some people laughed their heads off while others grimaced and placed it in the “cheesy” category… What do you think?
