What is your best or worst joke? Or maybe your worst joke is your best!

Well, we have decided to share with you the joke that has been voted the world's funniest joke.

Psychologist Dr Richard Wiseman has put his Phd to good use by conducting a study to reveal the top joke.

The study was actually conducted 20 years ago.

Dr. Wiseman invited 1.5 million people across the world to rate five randomly selected jokes out of a database of over 40,000.

We're not sure if we can agree with the decision but we'll let you decide for yourself:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Wiseman said this joke came out on top because of its universal appeal.
