Well, in the ancient days, there was a small group of cannibals who were terrible at hunting. They would often mistake animals for humans and vice versa. One time, they thought they had caught a group of humans but when they started preparing their 'meal', they realized it was just a bunch of monkeys dressed in old clothes that some traders had left behind. They were so disappointed and their bumbling attempts at being proper cannibals was quite a funny story in the annals of ancient cannibal tales.
In ancient Rome, there were rumors and some historical accounts that during times of great turmoil, such as when a city was under siege and food was scarce, cannibalism might have occurred. However, it's difficult to prove these accounts with absolute certainty as they are often part of the broader historical narrative that includes exaggeration and speculation. But it does suggest that in the face of extreme conditions, the idea of cannibalism has been a part of human history in different forms since ancient times.
No. As I mentioned the case of Armin Meiwes, which is a modern - day true cannibal story. It shows that such extreme and disturbing behavior can still occur in contemporary society, although it is extremely rare.
Yes. For example, the story of the Bodhidharma facing the wall. While it may not seem funny at first, but the idea of him sitting and facing the wall for years is quite an interesting and somewhat comical image. It shows his extreme dedication, yet in a way that can make you chuckle at the thought of someone just sitting there for so long.
In some old folklore literature, there are stories that might be considered in this vein. For instance, in certain tales of ogres and monsters that eat humans. One such story has an ogre who is so clumsy that when he tries to catch and eat a group of travelers, he keeps tripping over his own feet. The travelers manage to outwit him by leading him into a maze - like forest where he gets lost. This story uses the idea of the 'cannibalistic' ogre in a somewhat comical way.
Yes. There was a cannibal who was always late for the feasts. His tribe mates would scold him. One day he showed up early but with a very small person. He said, 'I got this one on my way here, he's just an appetizer because I'm always late for the main course.' This shows the warped sense of humor that can be associated with the concept of cannibalism in fictional and comical stories.
😋I recommend the following two novels to you. They are both funny ancient romance novels ~ 1. "White Jade Flawless Charming Cold Handsome": The protagonist is a woman with a poisonous mouth. She traveled to ancient times and relied on her wit and courage to wander the Jianghu. She met a charming man. This book was written by Shui Yunxing, it was absolutely wonderful! 2. "The Evil Princess Consort is Not to Be Trifled With": The protagonist is an unscrupulous girl with a bunch of twisted logic, a vicious mouth, and eyes for money. She uses her intelligence and poisonous tongue to cause trouble all the way in ancient times. This book was written by the author, Jin Ming Shi Ju. Xiaobai + funny, you definitely don't want to miss it! I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
In ancient China, there was a story of a martial artist who boasted that he could defeat any opponent with his bare hands. But when he faced a small monkey that stole his food, he chased it around for hours, slipping and falling many times. The monkey just easily evaded him, making his big talk seem rather silly.
There is a story about a tribe in some ancient legends that was believed to practice cannibalism in a rather strange way. They thought that by consuming the bravest warriors of their enemies, they could gain their courage. However, one time, they accidentally ate a very sick enemy warrior and all of them got ill. This is a bit of a 'funny' take on the otherwise gruesome topic, showing the folly of their superstitious beliefs.
😋I recommend the following novels to you: 1. "My Family's Restaurant Travels Through History": An ordinary restaurant owner travels through various historical periods, meets famous historical figures, and takes part in history. He can learn a lot of historical knowledge while having fun. 2. "Lazy and Gluttonous: The Life of a Rice Worm": A young lady from ancient times traveled back to ancient times. She only wanted to live the life of a rice worm without worrying about eating and drinking, but she was involved in the battle of the palace. She was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful men everywhere. Besides being funny, there was also love drama. 3. "Everyday I Just Want to Hug Lord Fourth's Leg": A die-hard fan of Lord Fourth transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty and was demoted to a concubine. However, she was smart and quick-witted, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. She fought with Lord Fourth in terms of wits and courage. She was relaxed and funny, but she also fell in love with Lord Fourth. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
Well, in ancient Greece, there was the story of Diogenes. He was a philosopher who was known for his rather unconventional ways. He was often seen walking around naked in the marketplace, which was a very strange sight at that time. He did this to show his disregard for the material trappings of society and his focus on the simple and natural life. His actions were so out of the ordinary that it became a sort of 'funny' story in the annals of history, as people couldn't understand his extreme behavior at first.
