Mario Balotelli tells a bad joke from a Christmas cracker

Mario Balotelli, the man who puts Santa Claus to shame, started off Man City's video advent calendar with a Christmas cracker tug of war. He seems to thoroughly enjoy thetrinketscontained within the traditional table gifts and eventually reads a joke from one of the crackers.

It's a terrible joke, but Mario delivers it perfectly. We can only hope that Mario Balotelli reciting bad jokes becomes a regular feature from the Man City YouTube channel.
