Heres a really funny story. What makes a funny story so memorable?

The unexpectedness. For example, if someone in the family who is usually very proper does something completely out of character like my grandpa dancing like a teenager at a family party. It's so different from what we expect that it sticks in our minds.

The unexpectedness. In a funny dad story, dads often do things that are out of the ordinary. For example, my dad once tried to ride my little sister's bike just for fun. He's a big guy, and seeing him on that tiny bike was both strange and hilarious. It's these moments that catch you off guard that make it memorable.

It's often the unexpected elements. For example, if you're expecting a normal day at work but then your boss comes in wearing a crazy costume for no reason. That sudden deviation from the norm makes it memorable. Also, when there's a bit of self - embarrassment involved. Like when you trip in public and then make a joke about it yourself. People tend to remember those moments because they're relatable and bring out emotions like surprise and amusement.

The humor in a camp story usually comes from the combination of the natural setting and the human element. The fact that we are in a more rustic and wild environment means that there are more opportunities for things to go wrong in a funny way. Like when someone tries to set up a tent but ends up with it collapsing on them every time they get in. And also, the reactions of the people involved add to the hilarity. If everyone is in good spirits and can laugh at themselves and each other, it makes the story really memorable.

Funny sermon stories are memorable because they break the monotony. Usually, sermons can be quite solemn and formal. When a story is funny, it provides a refreshing change. It might involve a character in the story doing something really silly, like mistaking a religious symbol for something else in a humorous way. This not only makes people laugh but also makes them think about the religious concept in a new light. And the humor makes it more likely that people will share the story with others, spreading the religious message in a more engaging way.

There was a parrot in a pet store. A customer asked the owner if the parrot could talk. The owner said, 'Sure, he can.' So the customer said to the parrot, 'How are you today?' The parrot just stared at him. The customer tried again, 'Can you say something?' The parrot still didn't respond. Then the owner said, 'Oh, I forgot to mention, he's a little shy. He doesn't talk when strangers are around.' Just then, the parrot said, 'I'm not shy, I just don't like the way you look!'

Relatable situations can be funny too. We've all had those awkward moments like when you wave at someone you think you know, but they turn out to be a stranger. When these common experiences are presented in a story, it often elicits laughter.

Surprise elements often make a story funny. When something unexpected happens, like a dog starting to talk in a story, it catches people off guard and makes them laugh.

A really funny story often has elements like absurd situations, witty wordplay, and a touch of irony. Maybe it's a story where everything goes wrong in the most comical way.

The humor in Tom Sawyer is often based on the cleverness of Tom. His schemes, like the fence - whitewashing one, are so creative that they stick in the reader's mind. It's the kind of humor that makes you think 'Wow, that was really smart and funny.'
