Richard Pryor had a story where he was trying to do a bit about a wild animal encounter. He started acting out the story in such a vivid and over - the - top way that the audience was in stitches. His ability to use his body language and facial expressions to tell a story made it one of the most memorable comedic moments.
There was this great Joker story where he decided to put on a show in the middle of the park. He did all these wacky magic tricks that went horribly wrong but in the most entertaining way. For example, he made a pigeon disappear but then it showed up on his head. It had everyone in stitches.
One of the best cancelled wedding stories I heard was when the groom got cold feet at the last minute. He was standing at the altar, and as the bride was walking down the aisle, he just blurted out 'I can't do this!' and ran out of the church. Turns out he realized he wasn't ready for the commitment, and everyone was left in shock.
Here's one. Paddy and Murphy are working on a building site. Paddy says, 'I'm going to the doctor. I'm not feeling well.' Murphy asks, 'What's wrong?' Paddy says, 'Every time I stand up quickly, I get a dizzy spell and see spots in front of my eyes.' Murphy says, 'Well, you'd better hurry up then or they'll be all painted over.'
Here's one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. This is a simple but funny joke. The play on words is that 'turned into' can mean physically transform but here it means he just entered the store in a humorous way.
A well - known April Fool's prank was when a radio station announced that there was a new law requiring people to walk backwards on April 1st. They had callers sharing their experiences of trying it, and some people actually believed it and were out there walking backwards. It was a very creative and humorous prank.
One Florida Man on his birthday decided to have a pool party with his alligator friends. He actually trained them to play gentle games like fetch in the pool. It was quite a sight as the alligators would swim back with the toys in their mouths, much to the amazement of the guests.
One great April Fools' story is when a company announced they were changing the color of their famous product logo. People were shocked and started talking about it everywhere. But then it turned out to be a prank. Another is a news station that reported that gravity was going to be reversed for a day. It had everyone freaking out for a moment until they realized it was April 1st.
Once, my friends and I decided to have a cooking competition. One friend thought salt was sugar and added a whole cup to the cake mix. The result was the most inedible 'cake' ever. We all laughed so hard that we forgot about the competition and just ordered pizza instead.
Well, in another wedding I attended, the best man shared that the groom had planned a big romantic gesture for his bride - a picnic by the lake. But he forgot to check the weather and it rained cats and dogs. They ended up huddled under a tiny umbrella, eating soggy sandwiches, but they still had a great time. It was a really funny and sweet story.
One time, the groom got so nervous right before the wedding that he accidentally put his shoes on the wrong feet. The best man noticed just in time and they had a good laugh while fixing it.
