A one-liner about vegetables using the telephone has won a group of schoolchildren the title of funniest class in Britain.<\/p>\n
The Year 6 Boyce class at Joy Lane Primary School in Whitstable, Kent, is celebrating winning the Beano’s 2026 competition.<\/p>\n
The joke that secured them the title? I didn’t think food could make calls, but then: boom! Onion rings.<\/p>\n
The class and their teacher Bethan Crowe, who was also crowned Britain’s funniest teacher, will be depicted in the comic book as their prize.<\/p>\n
Crowe said: “We knew we were on for a special one because the whole class was just a fit of giggles.<\/p>\n
“It’s absolutely adorable when you have 32 children just giggling and we thought we’ve got to use this one, it’s so wholesome.”<\/p>\n
Pupil Jack said he “just thought really hard and then came up with” the joke, but added: “I don’t really like onion rings that much.”<\/p>\n
“My brother, because he’s a teenager, he was like ‘oh, yeah, cool’, but I think he was a tiny bit jealous,” he told the BBC.<\/p>\n
His classmate Alexis said she “couldn’t believe it” and fell to her knees “speechless” after finding out they had won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A one-liner about vegetables using the telephone has won a group of schoolchildren the title of funniest class…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-631242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
