Well, a common thing is the element of surprise. In forgiveness funny stories, usually, the victim's reaction is not what we expect. Say, if a person scratches someone's car by accident. The car owner could say, 'Don't worry, my car was looking too perfect. It needed a little character.' This unexpected response is key. Also, there's often a touch of kindness beneath the humor. It's like they are using humor as a bridge to quickly cross over the issue of blame. For instance, when a waiter spills soup on a customer, the customer might say, 'This is a new fashion trend - wet - look clothes!' It shows that they are willing to forgive easily because they see the human side of the person who made the mistake.
They are often based on simple and relatable situations. For example, things that can happen in daily life like interactions between family members or pets.
