In Rome, a tour guide was showing a group around the Colosseum. He was very passionate about the history but he had a bit of an accent. He accidentally mispronounced 'gladiator' as 'glad - eat - or'. The group found it so endearing and funny that they started using that term among themselves for the rest of the tour. It became like a private joke for the whole group.
One time, a player got his jersey stuck on a fence while chasing the ball. He was just flailing around trying to get free as the game continued. It was so funny that even the opponents were laughing.
There are quite a few memorable funny PGA Tour stories. For example, a golfer who was known for his calm demeanor completely lost it when he kept hitting his ball into the same water hazard on the same hole over and over again. His expressions were priceless. Another story is about a golfer who was so focused on impressing the crowd with a flashy shot that he completely misjudged the distance and hit the ball into the gallery. Fortunately, no one was hurt. And then there was the time when a golfer was so tired during a long tournament that he fell asleep on the bench near the 18th hole and almost missed his turn to play.
In a particular Tour de France, a rider's bike chain snapped at a crucial moment. Instead of panicking, he tried to fix it while still running alongside his bike. He looked like he was doing some sort of strange dance. His team eventually caught up and helped him properly, but his initial attempts at fixing it on his own were quite the spectacle and made everyone laugh.
I heard a story about a tour in Italy. A couple got on the wrong bus thinking it was going to Venice but it was actually headed to a small village in the mountains. Instead of being upset, they had an amazing time exploring the village, tasting local food and meeting friendly villagers.
There was a tour guide in a safari park. He was explaining about different animals when a monkey snatched his hat right off his head. Instead of getting mad, he made it into a joke. He told the tourists that the monkey was the new 'hat inspector' of the park and was just checking if his hat was safari - worthy. Everyone had a good laugh.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
There was this time when my Uber driver thought I was a famous actor. He kept asking me about my 'latest movie' and I just went along with it. It was really funny seeing how excited he was. By the end of the ride, I told him the truth and we had a good laugh.
