The BCG Joke World Cup

Myself and Sooty fell into a silly joke-off on Facebook earlier. Following a random draw of 16 of the gags I thought we could decide democratically which was the best in a knockout competition.

Of the eight pairings below pick your favourite of each set and post your remaining eight gags you think should go through to the quarter-finals in the thread. Depending on how the voting goes I shall post the last eight draw at midnight tomorrow.

The important thing to remember is that we were dicking around so none of these are our best material but it should provide a few momentary moments of diversion.

So here's the first round draw of the inaugral BCG Joke World Cup!

MATCH 1
I was going to make a joke about my cow, but people think I milk it
I could make a joke about my chicken - you never know your cluck...

MATCH 2
I could make a joke about my horse. "Naaay!" I hear you cry...
I was going to make a joke about rounding up cows, but you heard it

MATCH 3
I could make a joke about about my goat but I don't want to offend the Nanny state...
I've got a joke about a poodle, it's got a good pedigree

MATCH 4
I could make a joke about my giraffe...if I stuck my neck out...
I got told a joke about being a monkey, the guy was clearly out of his tree.

MATCH 5
I could make a joke about my elephant...I could file it with the others I keep in a trunk...
I got a joke about a moose, it made for an interesting dessert option at the restaurant

MATCH 6
I could make a joke about my peacock...but I missed the bowl and peed all over the floor...
I tried to make a joke about a moose, but it always sinks

MATCH 7
I tried to make a joke about preserving food in vinegar down the pub, but I always end up pickled
I tried to make a joke about crockery but I got mugged

MATCH 8
I made a joke about sugary cereal flakes, I got a frosty reception
I tried to make a joke about a traction engine but I ran out of steam

So Tuumble old bean when do we put these nice people out of suspense and tell them who wrote what?

That could be incriminatory :)

The first round pitted us against each other in each game rather than completely randomly. Sorry, I should've said that. For subsequent matches we can get someone to do a draw of the eight gags who get the most votes in case someone thinks I'm fiddling it.

Maybe if we add the writer names to the eliminated gags after each round to keep the suspense going. :)

EDIT: I've just noticed that I didn't do the draw properly - I play myself in one fixture. Oops! :$

And that's why you got kicked out of Spurs.

Have I got time to vote?

Don't get too hung up on the rules, Tuumble. Most of these jokes are ancient anyway. :)
