The Noel and Liam one. I’m a big fan of Oasis, and it’s actually true, they do.

I like the Celia Imrie one. Infantile I know but the dgc will love that.

I don’t find any of these funny.
Maybe it’s me 🤷‍♀️

Just shows the British public funny bone is a mixed bag. I thought the winner was quite funny. Plus, I know both are really cheesy but I also like the Louvre Actually joke plus no8- spin on the Traitors...

For the Prince Andrew saga I infinitely prefer a limerick I heard :
( to the tune of "The Grand Old Duke of York")......
🎶🎼
The Grand Old Duke of York
He had 10 million quid
He paid it to someone he'd never met
For something he never did......
Oi !!!!
🎶

4. 7. and 10.
Partly as I dont understand some of the pop/celebrity/media ones! grin

Must be my sense of humour too because, along with Mel1967, I didn’t find them even remotely funny, sorry! To be fair, I have never really liked jokes, even though I am complimented on my sense of humour. I didn’t even like them as a child.
I really liked the limerick though, so I’m not all bah humbug!

I read these somewhere else-can't remember where and I didn't find them funny.
And I still don't.
That's just me - other people might find them hilarious .

I am going to tell them to my lot this Christmas.
We are a bit of a mixed bunch, so I will see who knows what, and who finds what, funny.
Thank you LemonJam.

I found all the cracker jokes mildly funny except for the one about the Oasis brothers but only because I didn't understand it.

The 'Grand Old Duke of York" made me laugh out loud.

How are they this years cracker jokes when nobody has yet pulled a cracker?
But regardless, not a single one are remotely funny, hope I get better ones in my Tesco crackers.

Elless Tue 16-Dec-25 17:31:58

Still can't beat the snowman saying to another snowman 'Can you smell carrots' 😂😂

fancythat Tue 16-Dec-25 18:31:37

Keep 'em coming!

grandMattie Tue 16-Dec-25 18:41:41

I’m a bit “Bah, humbug”. I don’t find them funny and think some are rather unkind…

HowVeryDareYou2 Tue 16-Dec-25 21:15:27

I think the "jokes" in cheap Christmas crackers are funnier (and they're not really funny)

Lupatria Wed 17-Dec-25 13:59:36

well i'm another who didn't find any of them remotely funny.
perhaps my sense of humour is very different from others.

madeleine45 Wed 17-Dec-25 16:14:09

The cracker joke I saw about snowman went like this

"What was the snowman doing in the carrot field?"
"He was picking his nose!"

Azalea99 Wed 17-Dec-25 16:39:27

Number 5 for me. 🤣

gentleshores Wed 17-Dec-25 18:31:34

They're not the kind of jokes we get in our Christmas crackers! The ones above are all very topical and some of the people I don't know much about. Quite like theLouvre one though.

Kitty55 Wed 17-Dec-25 23:53:29

Have I lost my sense of humour. I wouldn’t class these as jokes. Oh dear

Crossstitchfan Thu 18-Dec-25 00:12:30

Madeleine45’s joke about snowmen amused me, but the rest left me cold.
