One of the funniest was when we had a substitute teacher. My friend thought it would be hilarious to put a fake bug on her chair. When she sat down and saw it, she jumped up and screamed so loudly. She then realized it was fake and started laughing along with us.
During a high school drama class, we were rehearsing a Shakespeare play. One actor got his lines completely mixed up and started saying the lines from a different play. It was chaos at first but then everyone started laughing. We ended up having a great time improvising based on his wrong lines.
There was a time in high school when we had a school-wide talent show. A group of students decided to do a magic act but everything went wrong. The props didn't work, the rabbit they were supposed to pull out of the hat ran away, and they ended up just dancing around on stage. It was a total disaster but extremely funny.
I remember a story from 2023 where a little kid at a park thought a statue was a real person and started having a full - blown conversation with it. The kid was asking questions like 'Why are you so quiet?' and waiting for an answer. It was really cute and funny.
I know a story where a nanny was dressing up the kids for a costume party. She put a hat on a little boy backwards and then couldn't figure out why it looked so odd. When she finally realized, she and the kids couldn't stop laughing.
In a farm, there was a duck that followed a group of chickens everywhere. The chickens were a bit annoyed at first, but then they just accepted the duck as part of their flock. It was so funny to see the duck waddling along with the chickens, trying to do everything they did, like pecking at the ground for food, even though its beak was shaped a bit differently.
One funny story is about a player who accidentally sent all his troops off a cliff in an RTS game. He thought he was giving an order to move forward but misclicked. It was so funny to watch all those units just disappear.
I know of a placement at a flower shop. A newbie was arranging the flowers for a big order. She got so carried away with making the bouquets look beautiful that she didn't realize she had used all the roses for one bouquet. When the customer came to pick up the order, there was one huge rose - filled bouquet and a bunch of other bouquets with no roses. The customer was amused and ended up buying just the big one.
A phlebotomist told me that she had a patient who was a magician. While she was getting ready to draw blood, the magician patient did a little magic trick with a coin to distract himself. He made the coin disappear and then reappear in his other hand. It was so unexpected and funny that it really lightened the mood in the room.
There was a music teacher who had a really unique way of teaching rhythm. He would make all the students stand up and march around the classroom like soldiers while chanting the beats. One day, a student accidentally tripped and knocked over a few chairs. Instead of getting angry, the teacher incorporated it into the rhythm, saying it was a new kind of 'accidental percussion'. It was so funny and we all had a great time.
There was this one story where two brothers got into a fight over the last piece of cake. They were pushing and shoving, but then their mom came in and scolded them. In their haste to get away from mom's wrath, they ran into each other and fell flat on their faces. It was really funny.
There's a story where a woman was talking about cooking. She said 'I'ma make me some cornbread, y'all'. The use of 'I'ma' and 'me' in that way is unique to Ebonics. It's like she's really focused on making that cornbread for herself. It was a simple statement but the Ebonics made it really funny, especially with the addition of 'y'all' at the end, which is a very friendly and inclusive way of speaking.
