The part where an elephant gets scared of a very small creature, say a mouse. In most stories, the elephant's huge size contrasted with its fear of such a tiny thing always brings out the humor. For example, the elephant jumps on a table when it sees a mouse run across the floor, causing chaos and breaking things in the process. This unexpected reaction makes for a really funny part of the story.
When the elephant tries to do something completely out of its nature, like trying to fly by flapping its ears really fast. It's just so absurd and funny to imagine.
The unexpected crashes can be really funny. Like when someone tries to do a cool stunt and ends up falling in a very clumsy way. It's that sudden change from confidence to chaos that makes it so amusing.
When the toppings on a pizza are misspelled or arranged in a completely unexpected way. Say, instead of 'pepperoni', the topping says 'peperoni' and the cheese is in a big blob in the middle like a mountain. The people waiting for the pizza are first shocked and then can't stop laughing about the 'unique' pizza they are about to eat.
The eel's strange movements can be really funny. For example, when an eel tries to fit into a very small space between rocks. It wiggles and twists its long body in all kinds of funny ways, just like a long noodle trying to squeeze through a tiny hole.
When dolphins interact with other animals in a silly way. Say, a dolphin tries to start a race with a slow - moving turtle. The dolphin would swim circles around the turtle, waiting for it to catch up, and then when the turtle doesn't move fast enough, the dolphin nudges it gently as if saying 'come on, you can go faster!'. It's a really humorous sight.
Maybe the ant challenges the elephant to a dancing competition. The elephant, being so large, tries to do some clumsy dance moves. The ant, on the other hand, does these super fast and intricate dance moves. The elephant is so impressed that it accidentally steps on its own trunk while trying to copy the ant, making the ant burst out laughing and say, 'You'll never be as good as me!'
The misidentification of things can be really funny. For example, mistaking a large cotton boll for a big white flower and trying to smell it, only to get a face full of cotton fluff. It's unexpected and humorous.
When the cuckoo has a strange or comical voice. Maybe it doesn't sound like a normal cuckoo but more like a cartoon character. So when it pops out and makes that odd sound, it can be really hilarious. Also, if the cuckoo interacts with other objects or animals in the story in a funny way, like chasing a mouse around the room while still being part of the cuckoo clock.
A singing fish plaque. You know, those tacky ones that move and sing when you press a button. It's always a hit in a white elephant exchange because it's so unexpected and cheesy.
Once there was an elephant in a zoo. It had an amazing memory. One day, a zookeeper played a trick on it by hiding its favorite treat in a new place. But the elephant remembered all the previous hiding spots and finally found the new one. It was really funny to see the elephant's determination to get its treat.
The facial expressions are often the funniest part. A guy's face can go from confident to sheer horror in a split second when the wax strip is pulled. It's like they suddenly realize what they've gotten themselves into.
