THE SEARCH is on for some festive groaners.

A greetings card company is looking for the world’s worst Christmas cracker jokes.

From punishable puns to jokes that are cheesier than a post-dinner cheese board, thortful.com has launched a vote for favourite festive funnies, and also welcoming submissions to see who can out-joke the classics.

The winners will end up in its Ultimate Christmas Cracker Jokes Index.

For those in need of inspiration, thortful has compiled some old favourites.
