You can make the story funnier by creating unexpected twists. Let's say the story is about a kid going to a birthday party. Instead of having a normal cake, the cake suddenly starts talking and tells the kid that he has to sing a song before he can have a piece. This kind of unexpected element will surely make the story more humorous.
We can add some exaggerated expressions. For example, if it's about a clumsy person, we can say they trip over every single pebble on the road like they are magnets attracted to the pebbles.
One way is to exaggerate the actions or reactions in the story. If the story is about a person slipping on a banana peel, we can say that they slipped so hard that they ended up flying across the street and into a fountain. This would make the story much funnier.
We could add some exaggeration. For example, if it's about someone slipping, we could say they slipped so hard that they slid across the whole room.
Using funny sound effects or making the story into a musical of sorts. For instance, every time a character jumps, there's a 'boing' sound. Or if a character is sad, they sing a really off - key song. This can make the story even more hilarious. Also, if the setting of the story is in a really strange place, like an upside - down world where gravity works differently and people have to hold on to the ceiling to stay put. This kind of unique and unexpected element can enhance the funniness of the story.
To make it even funnier when filling in the blanks, use unexpected words. For instance, if the story is about a knight in shining armor and there's a blank after he rides his horse towards a dragon, instead of a typical word like 'charged', you could use 'wobbled'. It adds an element of surprise and humor.
You can add some unexpected plot twists or funny dialogues. Also, using humor in character descriptions can work well.
Well, think of it as if someone is so excited to share a middle school story that they mess up the grammar a bit. Middle school is a time of so many strange and funny events. There could be things like dressing up for a school play and getting the costume all wrong, or having a really goofy science experiment. Maybe the story they are trying to convey is about one of those situations that is even funnier than the usual middle school tales.
Give inanimate objects personalities. Like, 'The teapot whistled a happy tune every time it was filled with boiling water, as if it was excited to be useful.' This makes the story more interesting and funny. You can also play with words. For instance, 'The clumsy knight tripped over his own sword - sheath, which he called his'sword - sheet' because he was always getting tangled in it.' It combines mispronunciation and a clumsy character for a humorous effect.
One way is to look at the characters' actions. If they do things that seem funny but are actually self - destructive or counter - productive, that's ironic. For instance, a character might tell a joke to cheer everyone up but in the process reveals his own insecurities.
Just observe the little things around you. For example, the way people walk their dogs or how kids play in the park. Take those normal situations and add some unexpected twists. Maybe a dog starts walking backwards or a kid pretends to be a superhero in a really goofy way.
