The Cracker-Jacker

Every Christmas Day, we all sit around the table, ready to chow down on the turkey (or whatever vegetarian options have been created instead), and anticipating the HILARIOUS FUN which always comes when you burst open your cracker, put the hat on (for 10 seconds, tops) break the toy, and then unroll the joke. Christmas cracker jokes are not like other jokes. For starters, they're not funny. I mean really epically unfunny. The kind of scale of unfunniness that is only really visable from space, that's how massively unfunny they are.

And yet...

What if you could have Christmas cracker jokes which were of a similar standard, right, but were about pop stars? That would be...er...that would be...different, right? And nothing says 'Happy Christmas' better than pretending to laugh at a joke which deserves nothing better than a swift knee in the goolies and a boot out of the front door.

I tell you what though, these things are hard to start writing, but once you get going, it's almost impossible to stop!
