Well, at my friend's Thanksgiving dinner, they decided to deep - fry a turkey for the first time. They didn't know the proper way to do it. As they put the turkey in the fryer, the oil overflowed all over the patio. It was a huge mess but luckily no one got hurt. And we still had a great time with the other food.
My family once had a Thanksgiving where we had a new recipe for cranberry sauce. My little cousin thought it was ketchup and put a huge dollop on his mashed potatoes. When he tasted it, his face scrunched up in the funniest way. We all teased him about it for the rest of the day. It became a family joke that we still talk about during Thanksgiving.
One funny story is about the time my aunt tried to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. She accidentally added salt instead of sugar. When we took a bite, it was the saltiest thing ever! We all had a good laugh and ended up ordering a proper pie from the bakery.
In a big family Thanksgiving gathering, the kids decided to put on a play about the first Thanksgiving. But they got all the facts wrong and made up their own version where the pilgrims were superheroes and the Native Americans were wizards. It was a complete mess but the adults loved it and it became the most talked - about part of that Thanksgiving. There were so many giggles and it was a really unique and funny way to celebrate the holiday.
A family always has a tradition of saying what they are thankful for during Thanksgiving. One year, the youngest member said he was thankful for the Wi - Fi so he could play his video games. It was so unexpected compared to the usual heartfelt statements that everyone found it really funny.
A woman was making her famous pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. She accidentally used salt instead of sugar. When the family took a bite, they all made the funniest faces. She was so embarrassed but then they all started laughing. Another story is about a family who set up the Thanksgiving table outside in the garden. But then a flock of birds came and started eating all the food on the table. They had to run around chasing the birds away while trying not to laugh too hard.
A common one is when someone tries to deep - fry a turkey for the first time. They might not know how to properly handle the hot oil. I've heard of cases where the oil overflows or even catches on fire. It can be quite a scary yet funny situation, especially when everyone is running around trying to put out the small fire and save the turkey.
Here's another. A little kid at Thanksgiving dinner was asked to say what he was thankful for. He said he was thankful for the mashed potatoes because they looked like clouds on his plate. Then he started making up a story about flying on the mashed potato clouds to the land of cranberries. It made everyone at the table laugh and started a whole round of silly Thanksgiving - themed stories.
There was a story in a small Christian community. For Thanksgiving, they were planning to have a big feast and share their blessings. A little boy, who was very excited, thought he could help by bringing his pet chicken to the church kitchen as a contribution. When he showed up with the chicken running around the kitchen, the ladies cooking were initially shocked but then couldn't stop laughing. This simple act of the boy's innocent misunderstanding added a lot of humor to their Thanksgiving preparations while still being in the spirit of sharing within the Christian community.
Another joke is: What's the key to a great Thanksgiving dinner? The turKEY. This is a pun as we often think of a key as something that unlocks or is important, and in this case, the 'turKEY' is made to seem like the most crucial part of the Thanksgiving dinner in a funny way.
Here's one. A turkey says to another turkey on Thanksgiving, 'I'm a little worried.' The other asks, 'Why?' The first one says, 'Well, all these people keep talking about stuffing!'
One funny story could be about a church's Thanksgiving potluck. There was a new member who decided to bring a 'turkey' made entirely out of vegetables for the vegetarians in the congregation. When it was time to serve, everyone was so curious about this unique 'turkey'. Some kids thought it was a real, magic turkey that turned into veggies. It brought a lot of laughter and also started a great conversation about being inclusive during the holiday.
There was a family where the kids decided to put on a 'Turkey Day' play for the adults. They got all the costumes wrong and told a completely jumbled-up version of the first Thanksgiving. The mispronunciations and goofy acting made it a very funny Thanksgiving memory.
