The way others react to the nosebleed can also add to the humor. If friends start making over - the - top fuss or if they start joking around immediately. For instance, one person might say 'Hey, looks like your nose wants to paint a red masterpiece!'. And the more people play along with the situation, the funnier the nosebleed story can be.
There was a boy in my class. He was always in a hurry. One day, he was running to be the first in line for lunch. He ran so fast that he bumped into a pole. His nose immediately started to bleed. But instead of crying, he said, 'Well, at least I'm still first in line for the nurse!'. Everyone around burst out laughing.
Relatable situations also work well. We all know how it feels to be embarrassed in public. A story about someone slipping on a banana peel in a crowded place is funny because we can put ourselves in that situation.
Surprise is a key element. For example, in a short story like 'The cat thought it was a dog for a day. Then it remembered it had nine lives and didn't care anymore.' The unexpected twist at the end makes it funny.
One element is unexpected mistakes. Like when a curler slips and accidentally makes a great shot. Another is strange team strategies, for example, using odd - looking equipment.
Surprise endings can make a bedtime story funny. For example, if a character is expecting one thing to happen, like a mouse expecting to find cheese, but instead finds a big elephant in the cheese place. Also, silly characters like a clumsy bear who always trips over his own paws can add humor. And using funny voices when you tell the story, like a high - pitched voice for a tiny ant and a deep voice for a little frog, can make it more enjoyable.
The reactions of people around also matter. If someone with a really strange - looking wig gets stared at or gets funny comments from others, that can add to the humor. Also, when the person wearing the wig does something silly like trying to adjust it in a very awkward way in public. There was a time when a man had a huge afro wig on and was constantly patting it down as if it was a real hair that could be tamed, which was really funny.
The human factor also plays a role. For instance, if a person is so confident in using L'Hopital's rule but makes a really silly mistake like forgetting to simplify before differentiating or getting the derivative wrong. Their over - confidence combined with the mistake can create a very funny situation.
Over - confidence can be part of it. Let's say someone who is accountable for painting a mural on a wall. They think they are such a great artist but end up painting a really distorted and funny - looking picture. Also, unexpected outcomes play a role. If a person is accountable for making sure a plant grows well in the office. They do everything they think is right but the plant ends up growing in a really strange shape, like looking like a monster. That's quite funny.
Awkward moments can make a dating story funny. Like when you accidentally spill something on yourself or your date. Also, misunderstandings are quite hilarious. For example, if you think your date said one thing but they actually meant something else and then there's this whole confusion that leads to a comical situation.
Unexpected events can make a massage story funny. For example, if the masseur suddenly sneezes right in the middle of a massage. Also, if there is some miscommunication like when the client asks for light pressure but the masseur misunderstands and uses really strong pressure, it can lead to a comical situation.
