Contributors to the self styled 'satire, parody and spoof news' website NewsBiscuit have voted sarcasm into joint fifth position in forms of wit league, finally lifting it off the bottom after many years by overtaking 'jokes with a split infinitive' and moving level with 'anything mentioning knobs or willies'.
Jokes about Tony Blair remain in second place with puns and 'abuse of the BBC' in third and fourth respectively. For the second month running however 'jokes written by Darksbill 2.0' retain top spot.
