  1. I particularly liked this one:

    >“Man walks into a restaurant with a crab under his arm and says, ‘Do you make crab cakes?’ Manager answers, ‘Yes, we do.’ ‘Good,’ says the man, ‘because it’s his birthday.’”

    And whilst not one of the submitted jokes, this made me laugh:

    >A Crab Museum spokesperson said the organisers hoped the contest might inspire people into environmental activism. “Laughing at jokes, much like learning about crabs, can be a powerful tool to help us reassess our relationship with our environment. **You’d be surprised how quickly you can go from chuckling at crab gags to letting down SUV tires.** Whilst we may not have made this clear to our judges, it is in this spirit that the World’s Funniest Crab Joke competition has been organised.”

  2. A crab walks into a bar.

    Barman says “Get out, you’re barred!”

    Crab says “why?”

    Barman says “You’re always coming in here, giving it all that”

    *make crab pincer/all mouth hand gestures

  3. The crab museum in Margate is legitimately amazing. The guys that run it really know their stuff but make it fun and subversive.

    If you’re ever in Margate I highly recommend a visit. You can be in and out in 30 minutes or stay for hours.

  4. A crab walks into a bar, and to the counter

    He sees the bartender sitting at the counter, and orders a drink.

    The bartender looks confused, then smiles, gets up and moves out of his view for a while, and hands him his drink. “Free of charge”, she says.

    He drinks it fully and leaves.

    While leaving, he ponders his routine.

    “Despite my frequent visits, it’s intriguing that a different bartender takes a seat there each time”, he mutters, “and it’s astonishing how tipsy they are.”
