"How much did Santa's sleigh cost? Nothing, it was on the house."
The joke is met by groans that echo through a warehouse in Lambeth, south London.
We're at a joke-testing session with Talking Tables, a London company that makes supplies for gatherings. Its repertoire includes Christmas crackers.
The firm's founder and chief executive Clare Harris grins, almost apologetically at the gag. But the joke has made the cut and will feature in future crackers.
"You measure the joke by the number of groans and the loudness of the groans around the table," Ms Harris says.
The key to a good Christmas cracker joke is not the same as a good gag per se. It is all about the context - in this case, the shared laughter of the Christmas dinner table with grandparents, children and potentially the neighbours or friends who've joined this year.
"You want the joke to be something that brings the eight-year-old together with the 80-year-old," Ms Harris says.
