The 10 Funniest Jokes of all time according to Welsh kids


jokes.


Welsh children have voted “Why was the sand wet? Because the sea weed!” as the funniest joke of all time, according to new research by Beano.com The poll of 2,000 British children aged 7-12 years old reveals classic jokes have stood the test of time. The research was commissioned to celebrate the launch of Beano’s new national joke competition to fi nd the funniest class in Britain. Primary schools across the UK can submit their classes’ entries from April 1st* 2019 online at www. beano.com/jokes Top 10 funniest jokes of all time according to Welsh kids 1. Why was the sand wet? - Because the sea weed! (60%) 2. What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? - Frostbite! 3. What do you call a blind dinosaur? – Doyouthinkhesaurus


4. Why should you be careful when it’s raining cats and dogs? - You might step in a poodle! 5. Doctor, Doctor! Help, I feel like a pair of curtains! - Pull yourself together then 6. What did the policeman say to his tummy? - Freeze you’re under a vest 7. What’ black and white, black and white, black and white? - A penguin rolling down a hill 8. What’s the best time to go the dentist? - Two-thirty! 9. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Boo. Boo who? - No need to cry, it’s only me! 10. What’s the fastest vegetable? - A runner bean! Whilst fathers are notorious for their cringe worthy ‘dad jokes’, almost half of Welsh children aged 7-12 years old, chose their dad as the funniest person in their family, yet dad was found to tell the worst


PDSA Letter to Editor


On behalf of vet charity, PDSA, which has a busy Pet Hospital in Trident Park, Cardiff, I would like to say a huge thank you to all local players of People’s Postcode Lottery. We have received fantastic support from players over the past 12 months, which coincided with our 100th birthday celebrations. It was on 17 November 1917 that the charity’s founder, Maria Dickin, fi rst set up a dispensary for sick animals in London’s East End. Over the following years our work spread in response to public demand and PDSA now operates 48 Pet Hospitals across the UK, supported by a national chain of around 120 charity shops, and a dedicated army of volunteers.


Over the past 12 months support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery has helped us deliver projects that prevent illness and disease, and educate pet owners and children on how to care for animals. In 2018 we: • Educated over 64,000 school children through our PetWise Schools programme which promotes animal welfare • Completed 331 school visits, equipping the next generation of pet owners with the skills they need to provide the 5 Welfare Needs for pets to be happy and healthy


• Launched our new £250,000 PetWise Mobile Unit which features two vet consulting rooms, oxygen facilities, moveable seating, a widescreen TV and built-in iPads and can be used to carry out minor operations, host vaccination clinics, school lessons and pet fi rst aid classes


• Carried out over 5,000 free PetWise MOT’s on pets through our PetWise Tour across 151 locations • Microchipped 436 pets and clipped the nails of over 850 pets’ on board our three PetWise vehicles • Equipped 838 pet owners and visitors with general pet health advice through our PetWise Tour So much has already been achieved, but there is still more to be done. In 2019, thanks to continued player support, we will be building on the legacy of these projects to continue to reach communities beyond the reach of our Pet Hospitals, helping pets and equipping adults and children with the skills they need to be great pet owners. In 2018 alone, £116 million was raised for good causes across Great Britain by players of People’s Postcode Lottery – an incredible achievement. On behalf of us here at PDSA, and all the pets we help, a huge thank you.

Cardiff & South Wales Advertiser - Friday 8th February 2019 - 21


Six in ten of Welsh kids said they hear the best jokes in the classroom and playground, and over eight in ten Welsh children say kids are funnier than adults. The top three classes, voted for by Beano’s gag maker experts and kids themselves online at Beano.com, will each win a bundle of Beano annuals, comic subscriptions and a special VIP Beano visit and joke workshop; where one will ultimately be crowned Britain’s funniest class. The announcement of the competition follows the successful launch of Beano’s free “SPAG LOLZ” programme for primary schools. The programme, free to download on school.beano.com, covers six key SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) topics with six curriculum-based lesson plans each for KS1 and KS2. Lesson plans focus on joke writing techniques taught through SPAG; designed to help classes hone their comedy skills and inject some unique Beano fun into literacy lessons. Classes can source further inspiration


from Beano’s ‘Joke


Generator’ which hosts 80 years’ worth of classic jokes and submit their entries online at www.beano. com/jokes. Beano’s


national school joke


competition is open for entries from April 1st. Primary school pupils or teachers (on behalf of their pupils) can enter via www. beano.com/jokes
