Quick Description
The world's funniest joke is a term used by Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire in 2002 to summarize one of the results of his research. For his experiment, named LaughLab, he created a website where people could rate and submit jokes.[1] Purposes of the research included discovering the joke that had the widest appeal and understanding among different cultures, demographics and countries.

Why'd We Pick?
It's interesting to see which joke would best appeal to the world. The top joke IS funny, but I think I'd vote for the top joke in the UK.
