Adele walks into a bar. Animal services are called and Adele is taken to a nearby pond.

Leona Lewis walks into a bar. The barman says "Why the long face?". She neighs at him, shits on the floor and begins chewing on a nearby bale of hay.

Liam and Noel Gallagher walk into a bar. They have a pint together despite their differences and NME reporters are left without a soundbite.

Stacey Solomon walks into a bar. The barman says  "Why the long face?". She says "AH DUNNO IT'S JUST THE WAY MA FACE WUZ MADE I GUESS" before smiling confusedly.

Biffy Clyro walk into a bar. The patrons and bar staff immediately evacuate the bar due to the danger of being in such an enclosed space with such a terrible band.

Razorlight's Andy Burrows walks into a bar. The barman says "Why the long face?" He says "I'm so anonymous that at the start of jokes about me the prefix 'Razorlight's' has to be used or else people may not get the reference. Even then it's still not very likely".

What's the difference between Bono and God? One is a singer and one doesn't exist.

Coldplay walk into a bar. They all order pints of beer and the patrons of the bar applaud rapturously, with one being heard saying "Oh, you know, they may not be cool but I really like what Coldplay do" before starting a football chant.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is invited to a fancy dress party where the theme is famous composers. He says "No thanks, this seems like a overly complicated set up to a punchline".

What do a mole and Nicki Minaj have in common? They both have Lady Gaga for a sister, except the mole.

Fearne Cotton banned from Radio 1

31 year old presenter is now "too old" to appeal to 15 - 29 age group of target audience

Not content with refusing to play "irrelevant" and "really old, like properly ancient" singer Robbie Williams' chart-topping hit 'Candice', Radio 1 have continued their ruthless modernisation of the brand by banning popular DJ Fearne Cotton from being heard on the radio station either, saying she was "no longer relevant" for their target audience of 15 to 15 year olds, and it really has nothing to do with her age, at all.

Although Ms Cotton will remain an employee of the station, and continue to present her weekly radio show in the 10am to 1pm slot, a statement released by producers has revealed that loud feedback and static will be played every time she speaks, in an attempt to hide her old and decrepit voice. 

A trial run of this patent-pending technique on Thursday resulted in a total of just over 78 minutes of the static/feedback combination being played. Most viewers agreed that it was the most intelligent Fearne Cotton has ever sounded, although famous old woman Jo Brand attacked the move for being "sexist and ageist".

Radio 1's current poster boy, 28 year old Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw defended the decision, confusingly citing incorrect target audience ages: "I really like Fearne, she is just so absolutely lovely, and we always have a great time when she comes to a party with me and Harry Styles, but I'm just not sure she's who 13 or 14 year olds want to listen to. They have people like One Direction and Adele Jr who they would rather listen to." He then went on to add, in a cheeky yet charmingly disarming way: "Oh, and me of course!"

Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw's predecessor Chris Moyles attempted to comment, but as he was almost 40 when he stopped presenting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the station refuses to even mention him on air, a scandal which has provoked a campaign from the Daily Mail.
