A joke about a vacuum cleaner officially doesn't suck after being named the funniest at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Comedian Tim Vine took the top spot after a public vote for his one liner at the festival. His winning joke is: "I decided to sell my Hoover... well it was just collecting dust." Vine, 47, saw his joke scoop almost a fifth of the votes in the competition run by comedy television channel, Dave. On being crowned this year's winner, Vine said: "I'm a little bit surprised but very delighted. This is the second time I've won this award but I guess nobody loves a repeat more than Dave." See a list of the finalists in the competition below and let us know which you thought was the funniest: "I've written a joke about a fat badger, but I couldn't fit it into my set" - Masai Graham. "Always leave them wanting more, my uncle used to say to me. Which is why he lost his job in disaster relief" - Mark Watson. "I was given some Sudoku toilet paper. It didn't work. You could only fill it in with number ones and number twos" - Bec Hill. "I wanted to do a show about feminism. But my husband wouldn't let me" - Ria Lina. "Money can't buy you happiness? Well, check this out, I bought myself a Happy Meal" - Paul F Taylor. "Scotland had oil, but it's running out thanks to all that deep frying" - Scott Capurro. "I've been married for 10 years, I haven't made a decision for seven" - Jason Cook. "This show is about perception and perspective. But it depends how you look at it" - Felicity Ward.
