A little boy was at the beach. He saw a crab and thought it was a little monster. He started chasing it with a small shovel, yelling 'Go back to your crab - land, little monster!' His parents couldn't stop laughing at his imagination.
Well, here's a funny story. A kid once tried to paint his face like a superhero all by himself. He used so much paint that he looked more like a colorful monster. And then there was a little boy who was convinced that his teddy bear was a real detective. He would take it around the house to 'solve mysteries' like finding out where his missing sock was.
Sure. 'The Enormous Turnip' is really funny. A farmer tries to pull up a huge turnip and has to get all the animals to help one by one. Another is 'Stone Soup'. A traveler convinces a village to contribute ingredients for a soup by starting with just a stone. It shows how sharing can be fun. And 'Rumpelstiltskin' is also quite humorous with its strange little man who can spin straw into gold but has a very odd name.
Once there was a clown. He made everyone laugh at the circus but was actually very sad inside. His makeup hid his tears. He was lonely and all his so - called friends only liked him when he was being funny. It was a sad state of affairs but also kind of ironic and funny in a way.
A common scenario is when kids are trying to describe their dreams. They might say something like 'I dreamed I was flying on a pizza!' which is both strange and really funny.
Sure. There was a family that always put up the Christmas lights in a very elaborate way. One year, the dad was on the roof trying to string the lights around the chimney. He slipped and the lights went all around him like he was a human Christmas tree. His family was watching from below and couldn't stop laughing. He was okay, just a bit embarrassed, but it was a really funny sight.
Well, this one time at a deli, a customer was trying to order a bagel sandwich. But he kept getting the fillings mixed up in his order. He first said he wanted tuna and then changed it to turkey and then back to tuna again. By the time the bagel was made, it had both tuna and turkey on it, and he just ate it anyway while joking about his indecisiveness. It was quite a funny scene.
One funny thing a kid might say is 'I want to be a unicorn when I grow up so I can poop rainbows!' It's just so imaginative and out - of - this - world.
Once I was in New York City and saw a street performer trying to imitate a statue. But a pigeon landed right on his head and he couldn't keep still anymore. He started flapping his arms to shoo the pigeon away while still trying to hold his pose. It was hilarious.
Sure. There's a story about a Florida man who called the police because he saw a UFO in his backyard. But when the police arrived, it turned out to be a shiny new barbecue grill he had forgotten he bought. It's really funny how his mind jumped to aliens so quickly.
In 'Home Alone', the back story of how Kevin got left behind is quite funny. His family was in such a rush to get to the airport that they just miscounted the kids. And Kevin was so happy at first to be alone until he realized he had to fend off burglars. It's a classic funny back story that sets up the whole movie.
