Can you recommend some funny fiction short stories?

One funny science fiction short story is 'The Star' by Arthur C. Clarke. It tells a story about a group of astronauts who make a discovery that challenges their religious beliefs in a rather comical way when you think about the implications. And 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury also has some subtly funny elements as it portrays a future society in an off - beat manner.

Well, 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain is also a funny short story in literary fiction. The narrator is sent to interview a man named Simon Wheeler, who then tells a long - winded and absurd story about a frog - jumping contest. Twain's use of humor and the vivid characters in this short story are quite remarkable.

Another one is 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl. The plot is quite unexpected. A wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooks the lamb to destroy the evidence. The way she deals with the police who come to investigate is really funny in a dark humor sort of way.

Sure. There is a story about a lazy cat. The cat always found the warmest spot in the house to sleep. One day, it climbed onto the roof where the sun was shining just right. But it was so sleepy that it rolled off the roof and landed on a pile of leaves, unharmed. It just blinked and went back to sleep.

There are quite a few. 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde. Wilde's use of dialogue and the situations the characters find themselves in are highly comical. 'The Diary of a Nobody' is also a funny short fiction. It chronicles the ordinary but humorous life of Mr. Pooter. And 'Three Men in a Boat' by Jerome K. Jerome is a classic funny short fiction book about the misadventures of three friends on a boat trip.

😋I recommend the following two short stories to you, both of which are funny! 1. "There are stars in the sky, and you are in my heart." It was a wonderful encounter between a tsundere star and an amateur screenwriter. From getting to know each other, to treating each other sweetly, there was also a funny story of a tomboy friend and a domineering CEO. 2. "This Green Plum is 30% Sweet"-This was the story of a cold, black-bellied, smart, and studious childhood sweetheart and a simple-minded green plum who had been held back for a year. It was full of sweet drama and hilarious love. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~ If you like the above novels, please let me know at any time!😗

😋I recommend the following funny short school novels to you: 1. "Funny Campus: Five Radish and Five Pit"-It described five flower-like women meeting five grass-like men, and the funny life of the university. 2. The orange cat I picked up turned out to be a girl. The first time the male protagonist met the female protagonist, he was very angry. The female protagonist even left three paw prints. The new book was also very funny. 3. [Sword God's Unlimited Daily Life]-- The jokes were all in it. 4. "A woman dressed as a man to be the school hunk"-The female protagonist was the young master of the Ling family who lived like a prince, but she put on a man's coat and became the school hunk. A wonderful and funny campus romance was about to begin. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~

Sure. 'The Tortoise and the Hare' is a short and funny story. It tells about a hare who is overconfident in his speed and takes a nap during a race against a slow - moving tortoise, only to be beaten by the tortoise's steady pace. Another one is 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. The vain emperor is tricked into believing he is wearing magnificent clothes when in fact he is naked, which is really humorous.

I'd suggest 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole. The main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is a larger - than - life and extremely comical figure. His misadventures in New Orleans are both absurd and engaging. And 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is a funny take on the classic 'Pride and Prejudice'. It adds a zombie - apocalypse element which creates a whole new level of humor to the story.

One funny fiction story is 'A Retrieved Reformation' by O. Henry. The main character's transformation from a criminal to a respected citizen in an unexpected way is really funny. And then there's 'The Cop and the Anthem' where a homeless man tries all sorts of crazy things to get arrested so he can have a warm place to stay for the winter, which is full of comical moments.
