A Donald Trump joke has been named the top Modern Cracker joke of 2019.
Bizarre on Female First
The quip, 'Why does Donald Trump have his Christmas dinner on a plastic plate? He doesn't get on with china' topped the top 10, which also features jokes about Brexit, 'Love Island', WAGs, 'The Crown' and gaffes about politicians including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and former Prime Minister David Cameron.
TV channel Gold challenged the British nation to come up with the best topical Christmas cracker jokes.
And the creator of the pun about the US President will bag themselves £1,500 towards a holiday and a box of bespoke Gold Christmas Crackers, one containing their winning joke.
The top 10 was decided by a panel - led led by comedy critic Bruce Dessau - and 2,000 British adults were also involved.
The joke competition is in its seventh year and helps celebrate Gold's festive scheduled, which features re-runs of the likes of 'The Vicar of Dibley', 'The Royle Family' and 'Mrs Brown's Boys' to name a few.
Bruce said: ''Amongst the political turmoil that seems to have swamped our country this year, we can always rely on British humour to pull us through. With subjects ranging from Brexit and Love Island, to Greta Thunberg and Coleen Rooney, there are jokes here to tickle even the biggest of scrooges.''
Gerald Casey, Gold channel director, added: ''The festive period is a time for reflection on the year, and although we've certainly had our ups and downs, it's incredible to see that British wit remains as sharp as ever.''
