Curated by Morag Sinclair of The London Prat | The London Prat on YouTube

Today’s bonfire features a revolutionary dashboard button, an Oxford board game in which nobody escapes prison, and farm profits that suppliers have already spent. Elsewhere, White House aides redraw America, voters ration happiness, and the moral universe develops a few alarming habits. Ten sharp comic reads, chosen for exaggeration, irony and the staying power of their punchlines.

1. Car maker unveils revolutionary button that switches on windscreen wipers — Made Up News

   After years of touchscreens and buried menus, engineers unveil a device that works by being pressed. Motorists can activate their wipers without pulling over, while executives celebrate the rediscovery of the dashboard technology everyone had thirty years ago.

2. Oxford’s Foucault Monopoly sends every player to prison but still collects tuition — The London Prat

   A philosophical edition of Monopoly abolishes property, converts Mayfair into a training centre and makes the Get Out of Jail Free card useless. The university still charges £30,000 for the lesson that capitalism is exploitative. Nobody wins, apart from the bursar.

3. Farm revenue rises, and fertilizer dealers spend the increase first — Farm.FM

   Economists celebrate higher crop receipts while the people selling seed, machinery and fertilizer reach for their invoices. One grower learns that a larger revenue forecast can coexist with a smaller bank balance. The agricultural boom has apparently been delivered to everybody except agriculture.

4. White House staff invent new American states to tell Trump he won — NewsBiscuit

   Advisers confronted with unfriendly election results devise an alternative map featuring such promising destinations as Ballroomia and Putinsylvania. The scheme turns political spin into cartography: when the states refuse to cooperate, simply manufacture more states.

5. Unhappy voters demand equal misery and a limit on other people’s holidays — Bohiney News

   Campaigners decide the surest route to equality is preventing anyone from enjoying a better vacation, birthday present or roller coaster. A neighbour fixing an air conditioner for free nearly triggers an official inquiry. Happiness has become a resource requiring redistribution.

6. Cybertruck production ends, leaving drivers searching for new ways to announce themselves — NewsThump

   Tesla’s proposed Cybertruck wind-down creates a crisis for motorists who used its unmistakable shape to broadcast their personalities. Prospective owners reluctantly consider BMWs, quad bikes and other less efficient forms of automotive self-disclosure.

7. Republicans wish there had been an act they could have passed before the election — Babylon Bee

   After losing the midterms, senators wistfully imagine a popular bill that might have strengthened their campaign. The joke sharpens when the House speaker reminds them that legislation bearing a remarkably similar name had already passed his chamber.

8. Britons prepare to be furious about EU food bans before learning what might be banned — The Daily Mash

   The prospect of closer European food standards inspires a national search for a product worth defending against hypothetical interference. The outrage is fully operational; only the actual target remains to be selected.

9. The moral universe bends toward justice, then eats Halloween candy in bed — McSweeney’s

   Martin Luther King Jr.’s familiar moral arc becomes an exhausted, distracted character responding to an election, repainting the kitchen and occasionally driving a bulldozer into a data centre. Progress is still possible, but the arc could use a nap.

10. Russell Brand scandal spares audiences the effort of separating art from artist — The Hard Times

    The familiar debate over enjoying a disgraced performer’s work receives a bleak comic shortcut: the material was never especially beloved in the first place. Audiences discover an unusually painless way to retire an old cultural dilemma.
