It's true… We can't… No.

The Funniest Joke in the World

RReporter

This morning, shortly after 11:00, comedy struck this little house on Dibley Road. Sudden...violent...comedy.

VVoiceover

It was a fantastic success. Over 60,000 times as powerful as Britain's great pre-war joke [Cut to stock footage of Neville Chamberlain returning from Munich and holding up the Munich Agreement, the "this is peace in our time"-bit.], and one which Hitler just couldn't match.

[Cut to stock footage of Hitler giving a speech.]

HHitler

[subtitle] My dog's got no nose!

SSoldier

[subtitle] How does he smell?

HHitler

[subtitle] Awful!

In 1945, peace broke out. It was the end of the Joke. Joke warfare was banned at a special session of the Geneva Convention, and in 1950 the last remaining copy of the joke was laid to rest here in the Berkshire countryside, never to be told again.
