Brummies don't sound funny

I saw some research today that said all jokes are funnier when pronounced with a Birmingham accent rather than a Yorkshire one. This is clearly bollocks. For example:

Q: What has eight arms, eight legs and eight eyes?
A: Eight pirates!

I could hear you laughing so loudly when you heard my voice in your head saying that. You're still rolling on the floor, you silly moos. Now get up and imagine the same joke in a Birmingham accent:

Q: What has eight arms, eight legs and eight eyes?
A: Eight pirates!

Hah! Not funny at all, now is it? Stupid researchers. They know nothing.

If anyone has a funnier accent, please feel free to try it on me - you won't win though!
