I asked my Year 1 classes to tell me a joke;
Here is my analysis.
A THREAD
Alice - "Why did the cow cross the road? - To go to the Mooovies"

Great timing. Great Engery. It also got a big laugh from the class. She is still raw as a comic but certainly showing a lot of promise. 8/10
Katie - "Why did the cow cross the road? - Mooovies"

Wanted a slice of Alice's pie. Copied her completely but with less conviction. No style or character. Even got the punchline wrong. Cluster fuckall round but I appreciate the attempt. 2/10
Jack - "What did the toilet say? - Poo"

Poo joke. Too easy. The class erupted in a fit of laughter however I found it cheap , lazy and crass. He'll probably end up enjoying Mrs Brown's Boys. Bang average. 5/10
Frankie - "Where did the poo poo go? - in the bum"

And so begins the onslaught of fecal matter based gags. This one got less of a laugh but still a solid ripple. Frankie's confident approach is what sold it for me however still a poo joke. 4/10
Emma - "............I don't know any"

In normal circumstances I would have given her a 0/10 and boo'd her off the stage. However Emma is extremely shy and just standing in front of the class is a massive step for her. 8/10.
Mikey - "What did the Cow say to the road? - He had a cow and then the farmer didn't even know what to do"

What a fucking shit show from Mikey. No laughs. No real punchline. He walked up with a grin the size of the Cheshire cat, thinking he was Johnny Big Spuds. Trainwreck. 1/10
Ravi - "Why did the skeleton not go to the party? Because he had noBODY to go with"

Clearly a recycled gag from a parent or uncle. Didn't matter to me. Confident style. He even had inflection in the word "BODY". Kids an absolute class act. Look out for Ravi. 9/10
Rosie - "Fish...The fish....There was a fish"

Now listen up. The gag was awful. However it's this style of Anti Humour she's clearly working on because it was followed by a funny face that gained a large laugh from the class. Shes a maverick but not to everyone's taste.
7.5/10
Toby and Wendy - "You say it" "No you Say it" "you" "No You"

Laurel and Hardy, Morcombe and Wise, Cannon and Bull, Reeves and Mortimer. Expect Toby and Wendy to be in that category soon. No joke, but the stage presence and comedic timing was second to none. Ace. 10/10.
Ben - "What did the chicken not want to be? - A chicken nugget"

Factual. Thought provoking. Witty. Would be excellent on the pannel of 'Have I got news for you'. Made us all think about the greed and overconsumption of mankind. We laughed but overrall we learnt. 8/10
Susanna - "Why did the girl not eat the biscuit? - because it had poo on it"

And just like that were back to low brow smut. Susanna is better than this and she knows it. However it was met with big laughter. Perhaps she read the room after Ben's gag. Goodnight Vienna. 6.5/10.
