 Hardest tongue twister - Crankcase
Yes, there are people who research such things. Blah Blah, American Acoustical Society, yes yes.

So here is what they think. I have to say I don't find it very difficult at normal pace.

----------------

Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel is mad about difficult rhymes, possibly because her own name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue.

She claimed the rhyme "pad kid poured curd pulled cod" was so difficult that some people simply gave up halfway through saying it.

"If anyone can say this 10 times quickly, they get a prize," she said.

I agree, that doesn't seem so difficult.

"Red lorry, yellow lorry" x10 always gets me.

The 'pheasant plucker' one always gets a laugh with the kids.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son
I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes

Does that mean from memory, or reading it?

Reading the words aloud is easy, but visual tongue-twisters are a totally different problem.
