There was an old man in the neighborhood who was always misplacing his keys. One day, he decided to pick the lock of his shed using a piece of wire. He was so clumsy with it that it looked like he was doing some sort of comical dance. After several attempts, he finally managed to open the lock, all while the kids in the neighborhood were cheering him on.
In my neighborhood, there was a guy who locked himself out of his house. He was determined to get in without waiting for a locksmith. So he started trying to pick the lock with a hairpin. His neighbors were watching and laughing as he made all kinds of funny faces while concentrating on the lock. Eventually, he got in, but it took him quite a while.
A neighbor of mine once locked his bike with a really tough lock. He then lost the key. He tried to pick the lock with a couple of random things he found in his garage. He spent hours at it, and his wife was filming the whole thing as a joke. In the end, he actually managed to open it, and the look of relief on his face was mixed with embarrassment because of all the fuss he made.
Sure. One time my friend thought he lost his key to an old shed. Instead of calling a locksmith, he decided to try lockpicking himself. He used a couple of bobby pins and after some fumbling around, he actually managed to open the lock. He later found the key in his other pocket, which was really hilarious.
Recently in Michigan, there was a local fair. A man entered his pet pig in the 'cutest animal' contest. The pig had other ideas though. It escaped from its pen and ran straight into the mud - pit for the pig - wrestling event. It started rolling around and having the time of its life while the judges and spectators burst into laughter.
I had a weekend where I went to a karaoke bar with my friends. One of my friends who is usually very shy decided to sing a really loud and energetic song. But he got so into it that he started doing these wild dance moves and completely forgot the lyrics. He just made up some really random words and kept singing and dancing. It was so funny that the whole room was laughing.
A community decided to have a huge menorah lighting ceremony outdoors. They had arranged everything perfectly, but just as they were about to light the candles, a strong wind blew through. The person in charge of lighting had to chase after the candles that were being blown out one by one. People were laughing so hard as they tried to help him relight the menorah in the gusty wind. This became a memorable and funny Hanukkah story in that community.
I remember in scouting, we were learning to build a fire. One scout put way too much kindling and when he lit it, the fire shot up like a mini volcano. His face was priceless.
A young guy was trying out a tanning bed for the first time. He didn't know how to adjust the settings properly. So instead of getting a nice tan, he got these really strange splotches all over his body. His friends who were waiting for him outside the tanning room burst into laughter when they saw him. He had to go back in and try to fix it with the help of the salon employees.
During a mountain trip, my girlfriend thought she could hike up a really steep path easily. But she ended up slipping on a small stone and sliding a bit. She was okay though, and we couldn't stop laughing at how she thought she was a pro - hiker all of a sudden.
At a concert, this one girl was jumping around and having a great time. She had eaten a huge hot dog right before. All of a sudden, she stopped jumping and puked all over the people in front of her. It was gross but also kind of hilarious because everyone was so shocked.
Once on vacation, my boyfriend and I went snorkeling. He saw a really big fish and got so excited that he tried to communicate with it by making these goofy hand gestures. The fish just stared at him blankly and then swam away. I couldn't stop laughing at his attempt to befriend a fish.
A tornado hit a small town with a fairground. The tornado managed to pick up a whole carousel and move it a few feet to the side without damaging it much. The horses on the carousel were all facing in different directions as if they had been on a wild ride. The locals found this really funny and it became a talking point for a long time. The carousel had always been a centerpiece of the town, and this strange event just added to its charm in a rather comical way. People were amazed at how the tornado could be so destructive in some ways and yet so oddly gentle with the carousel.
