funniest scary stories

The contrast. It's the fact that they mix the fear factor of scary things with the light - heartedness of humor. It's unexpected.

One funny scary story is about a vampire who is allergic to garlic but loves Italian food. He tries to order pizza without garlic but the pizza place keeps getting it wrong. Every time he takes a bite with garlic, his fangs start to itch and he sneezes blood. It's scary in a comical way as he's a vampire with an odd problem.

Another is the use of absurdity. Like a story where a man tries to use a banana as a phone. The illogical nature of such a scenario is humorous. These funny jokes and stories often play with the norms of our daily life and turn them on their head, making us laugh. They can also involve wordplay, like puns, which add an extra layer of humor.

The funniest stories often have an element of surprise. For example, when something unexpected happens, like a cat suddenly chasing a laser pointer in a very clumsy way. They also tend to have relatable characters. If we can see ourselves or people we know in the characters of the story, it makes it even funnier. And usually, there is some sort of comical situation, like a person getting stuck in an elevator with a bunch of noisy parrots.

Once, a sister put salt in the sugar bowl. When the other sister made her coffee, she took a big sip and spat it out immediately. The whole family had a good laugh.

There was an encounter where a man thought a ghost was in his kitchen. But when he turned on the light, it was just his cat knocking things over, and the 'ghostly' noises were the cat playing. It's a funny misinterpretation of a normal event as a ghost encounter.

Well, for a good laugh, you could try short story collections by authors like P.G. Wodehouse. His works are known for their clever and funny plots.

There's also this joke. Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! This joke is funny because it gives a personified reason for the tomato to turn red. Kids can easily picture a shy tomato blushing when it sees the salad dressing which is a very comical image. It also uses a bit of creativity in coming up with an unusual cause for a natural phenomenon like a tomato changing color.

In Stellaris, there are often funny species traits. For example, I once encountered a species that had the trait of being extremely clumsy. Their ships would constantly bump into each other in their own fleets. And during a joint operation with an allied empire, they accidentally fired on their own allies because they misread the battle orders. It was chaos but also very funny. Also, there was a time when a pre - ftl civilization in my game sent a 'spacecraft' made of cardboard and tinfoil into space, thinking they were exploring the cosmos.

One funny story is the one about Noah and the ark. Imagine trying to gather all those pairs of animals! It must have been quite a chaotic and comical scene. The thought of a big old ark filled with all kinds of creatures, from the tiniest insects to the largest elephants.
