I can't believe they bought this joke...

Has anyone received a payment for a joke or routine they thought was totally unsellable? Either you thought it completely unfunny, rather sick or out of date?

No exactly, but I have thought that the one-liners I've had used on "Newsjack" were not as good as the ones they've not used.

Any examples?

I sold a one liner once. He said Cunard.I said there's no need for that language.

I sold. The same man a fish he said gurnard
So I pulled a.face

I sold a line once. Got busted!

Yes - I did a joke about Kiev being split down the middle and there being garlic butter everywhere.

Got in about three weeks of News Revue.
