Lolly stick gags Page 5

From their Facebook page:

Thank You!

Thank you so much for all your fantastic lolly joke contributions - we were overwhelmed by the response.

We have had a few enquiries about how the winning jokes were shortlisted and eventually chosen .

So here's how we did it.

1. Popular submissions were RT'd via @goldenlolly joke and via our partners Chortle, Twop Twips and The Poke - this provided an opportunity for the Twitter community to raise any points about originality of submissions.
2. There was an internet search of all shortlisted submissions
3. Then expert comedy critic Bruce Dessau reviewed the shortlist
4. Finally 2,000 members of the public gave their vote through an independent polling company

We are sure to be coming back to Twitter for more lolly jokes once we have firmed up our plans for next year.

So it's the Twitter community's fault! You twits.

Expert Comedy critic Bruce Desau, whats his qualification?

He's in it for the Lolly?...

I don't think they do degrees yet in being a comedy critic.

I think you will find that there's a few professors of it on here Zooo.

I see the BCG has given sycophantic support to the winner. Lolly lickers to bootlickers at one fell swoop.

Where?

Front page.

The rules clearly stated that, the winning joke had to be original. It wasn't. Someone has proved it dates back to at least 1982. (Not to mention half a dozen people on here saying they've heard it before.)

Cadbury have f**ked up.

Yet the BCG article effectively endorses the winner and salutes the competition. It's a puff piece.

Oh yes, I didn't see it before, buried at the bottom of the page. Just looks like a news story to me, rather than a puff piece.

And I'm not sure I'd call "not the funniest joke in the world" sycophantic, but okay.

I didn't mean to have a dig at the BCG (well, actually I did). But yeah, Cadbury's at fault here, nobody else. Time wasters. x

I didn't even know they did lollies!
They're bloody good at chocolate bars though.

Here are a few of the jokes I entered into the competition:

What do barristers wear in court? Law suits.

When's the best time to get your teeth fixed? During your gap year.

Why did the coffee mug go to the doctor? To get a lump checked out.

Where did the chicken cross the road? Kiev.

How do you sync an MP3 player? By throwing it into a river.

How do you save a depressed economy? By putting it in the recovery position.

Too original. We know now they were obviously looking for the Christmas cracker variety - i.e. old and crap.

Obviously the cancer mug joke wasn't going to win

But the sync joke I reckon should have won. Your's are certainly original.
