What are some examples of short funny pointless stories?

They are usually simple. There's not a lot of complex plot or character development. Take the story of a man who builds a fort out of pillows in his living room just to hide from his cat. It's simple, serves no real purpose, and yet it's funny. Another characteristic is that they can be very relatable in their absurdity. We might all have had those moments of doing something silly for no reason at all.

They often have unexpected twists. For example, in a story, a cat might start talking to a mouse and offer it a job instead of chasing it. It's something that goes against the normal expectations.

Sure. A man walked into a library and asked for a burger. The librarian said, 'This is a library.' The man whispered, 'Sorry. Can I have a burger?' Another one: A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. And here's the last one for now. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

There's a story about a guy who decided to have a race with his shadow. He ran all around the park, trying to outrun it. People thought he was crazy. He didn't win, of course, because how can you outrun your shadow? It was a short and pointless but humorous story.

Sure. Here's one. A man walked into a library and asked for a book on how to commit the perfect crime. The librarian said, 'We have books on law, ethics, and self - improvement, but not on that.' The man replied, 'Good, that means I'm the first one to write it.'

One example could be a story about a man who spends all day counting the blades of grass in his yard, going into extreme detail about each blade, like its length, color variation, and the angle it's growing at. Another could be a story about a cat that chases its own tail for hours on end, with a long, drawn - out description of every single rotation. And then there's the story of a person who stares at a wall for days, and the story just rambles on about the texture of the wall, the tiny cracks, and how the light hits it at different times of the day.

Funny pointless stories often involve unexpected or silly situations. For example, like the time a person thought they could fly by flapping their arms while wearing a chicken costume. They don't really have a deep moral or purpose, just pure amusement. They can be about the strange things people do in their daily lives, like when someone tries to make a sandwich with a tennis racket instead of a knife.

A group of friends decided to have a race while hopping on one leg. One of them got so excited that he hopped right into a bush. His friends couldn't stop laughing as he emerged with leaves all over his hair and face.

Once upon a time, a man tried to teach his cat to sing. He spent hours making strange noises, but the cat just stared at him blankly. Another story is about a guy who thought his toaster was possessed because it popped up the toast at a different angle every day. And there was a woman who chased a butterfly for an entire afternoon, only to find out it was a piece of paper caught in the wind.

Pointless short stories often lack a clear goal or resolution. They may have events that seem random or unconnected. For example, the characters' actions don't lead to a significant change or understanding. There's no real 'moral of the story' in the traditional sense.
