There was a parrot in a pet store. A customer asked the owner if the parrot could talk. The owner said, 'Sure, he can.' So the customer said to the parrot, 'How are you today?' The parrot just stared at him. The customer tried again, 'Can you say something?' The parrot still didn't respond. Then the owner said, 'Oh, I forgot to mention, he's a little shy. He doesn't talk when strangers are around.' Just then, the parrot said, 'I'm not shy, I just don't like the way you look!'
A funny story is often memorable because of the unexpected twists. For example, if a story is about a detective who always solves cases but in one story he gets outsmarted by a cat burglar, that's unexpected. It makes you laugh and also sticks in your mind.
Well, it depends on what your story is about. If it's a personal experience, you could focus on the emotions you felt. For example, if it was a scary experience, describe how your heart was pounding and your palms were sweating. Another important thing is to use vivid language, like 'the sky was a deep, inky black' instead of just 'it was night'.
Sure. Once there was a man who went to a pet store to buy a parrot. He saw a beautiful parrot with a sign that said, 'This parrot can repeat every word it hears.' So he bought it. When he got home, he started talking to the parrot, but the parrot didn't say a word. He returned to the store and told the owner. The owner said, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you. He's deaf.'
Well, there was this little boy who thought his dog could talk. So, he would have long conversations with the dog. One time, he was in the kitchen and told the dog he was making a sandwich. He asked the dog what he wanted on it. The dog just barked. But the boy said, 'Oh, you want peanut butter and jelly too? Okay!' and made a sandwich for the dog as well. It was really funny when the dog just sniffed at it and walked away.
There was a dog who thought he was a superhero. Every day he would put on a small cape and jump off the porch, thinking he could fly. But every time he just landed with a thud on the grass. His owner tried to tell him he couldn't fly, but he didn't listen. One day, he saw a bird in a tree and decided to rescue it. He climbed the tree (very clumsily) and when he got to the branch where the bird was, he slipped and fell again. The bird just flew away, and the dog finally realized he was better off being a regular dog.
There were two neighbors. One had a big apple tree and the other didn't. When the apples were ripe, the neighbor with the tree said, 'One for me, one for you.' as he gave some apples to his neighbor. The neighbor without the tree wanted to do something in return. So, he made a delicious apple pie with those apples and shared half of it with the neighbor who gave him the apples. They both laughed at how the 'one for me one for you' had turned into a delicious exchange.
There was a kitten that discovered a box. It climbed into the box and started making it its little kingdom. But then a dog walked by. The kitten, feeling very brave, hissed at the dog from inside the box. The dog just looked at it in confusion. The kitten continued to hiss and growl, but the dog simply walked away. The kitten then peeked out of the box, looking very proud of itself as if it had just chased away a huge monster. This made the onlookers laugh a great deal.
Sure. A guy I know decided to wear his swim trunks to a formal dinner because he thought it was a beach - themed party. When he showed up, everyone was in suits and gowns. He looked so out of place but his confidence made it hilarious.
Sure. There was this time when we had a virtual family gathering during lockdown. My uncle, who is not very tech - savvy, accidentally muted himself for the whole call but didn't realize it. He was talking and gesturing animatedly while we all just watched, trying not to laugh. When he finally noticed, he was so embarrassed and we all had a good laugh about it.
Here's one. A family decided to do a group costume as a bunch of fruits. The dad was a big watermelon, the mom was a strawberry, and their kids were different small fruits. As they were walking to the Halloween parade in their neighborhood, a dog saw them and got really excited. It thought they were real fruits and chased after them. The family had to run, and the dad, being the big watermelon, was waddling as fast as he could. They finally hid behind a car and the dog lost interest. It was a hilarious experience for them all.
