What makes funny pantomime stories so engaging?

The unexpected twists in Alan's stories make them engaging. Just when you think something is going to happen in a normal way, something completely different occurs.

Funny snap stories are engaging because they can be relatable. When people see a situation in a snap story that they've experienced or can imagine themselves in, and it's presented in a humorous way, it immediately grabs their attention. For instance, a story about the awkwardness of meeting someone new and accidentally calling them by the wrong name in a really funny way.

The unexpectedness. In a funny story, when something happens that you don't anticipate, like a dog starting to dance when there's no music, it catches your attention and makes you laugh.

The unexpectedness. For example, if a dog starts talking in a story out of the blue, it catches your attention.

A funny love story works when it has unexpected plot twists and lots of banter. The combination of love and laughter makes it really engaging. Also, relatable characters help you invest in their story.

Well, it's also about the release of tension. In a story, there is usually some sort of build - up. When a funny plot twist occurs, it releases that built - up tension in a way that makes us laugh. Take a story where two people are arguing over a parking space. We expect it to be a typical angry exchange. But then it turns out they are long - lost siblings. This sudden change from anger to a heartwarming family reunion with a humorous undertone is what makes it engaging.

The element of surprise. For example, in a story where a sleepy bear wakes up to find his cave full of dancing mushrooms at night. He doesn't expect that at all. It's this unexpectedness that grabs the reader's attention.

The humor. In a comic book funny story, the humor can be in the form of witty dialogue, absurd situations, or the funny appearance of characters. For example, in 'Calvin and Hobbes', Calvin's wild imagination and his conversations with his stuffed tiger Hobbes are full of humor. The pictures also play a big role. The exaggerated expressions and actions of the characters in the illustrations can enhance the comical effect.

Well, the unique art style in a comic book for a funny story is a big part of it. The illustrations can add so much to the humor. For example, funny facial expressions on the characters or wacky scenarios that are drawn out. And the dialogues are usually witty and full of puns or silly remarks that make you laugh out loud.

Sure. There was a mime who pretended to be trapped in a box. He pushed against the invisible walls, making exaggerated expressions of panic. As he tried to break free, he slipped and fell, but still continued the act as if the box was now on top of him. It was hilarious.
