One funny story is about a group of kids who decided to build a 'rocket' in their backyard. They used old buckets, broomsticks, and lots of duct tape. When they 'launched' it, which was just them pushing it over, it landed in their neighbor's pool. The chaos that ensued with the neighbor's reaction and the kids trying to fish out their 'rocket' was really funny.
Sure. There's a story about a clumsy magician. Every time he tried to pull a rabbit out of his hat, a chicken would come out instead. It was hilarious as the chicken would just strut around on the stage, clucking away.
Well, here is a funny story from an article. A woman was trying to take a selfie with her cat. The cat, however, was not in the mood at all. Every time she got ready to take the photo, the cat would turn its head away or make a really funny face. In the end, the woman ended up with a series of comical pictures that she could laugh at.
You can find them on some humorous blogs like 'The Onion' which is known for its satirical and funny articles. There are also many story-sharing platforms like Wattpad where users often post funny short stories.
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.
Sure. 'The Little Red Hen' is a funny one. The hen does all the work to make bread while the other animals just watch and then want to share at the end. It has a simple and humorous plot that can make you chuckle before sleeping.
The fable 'The Fox and the Grapes' is also quite funny. A fox sees some high - hanging grapes and tries hard to reach them. When it fails, it says the grapes are probably sour anyway. This fable is often used to illustrate people who pretend to dislike things they can't have.
One funny suspense story is 'The Catbird Seat' by James Thurber. Mr. Martin plots against Mrs. Barrows in a very humorous yet suspenseful way. There is also 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell. A man is hunted on an island, and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat with its mix of danger and some dark humor.
A group of friends went camping. One of them, who was a bit of a scaredy - cat, heard strange noises at night. He woke up everyone, screaming there was a monster. They all armed themselves with flashlights and tent poles. After 5 minutes of searching, they found out it was just a raccoon knocking over their trash. They had a good laugh about it later.
Sure. 'Calvin and Hobbes' is a very funny comic. It follows the adventures of a boy Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes, who comes to life in Calvin's imagination. There are many humorous situations like Calvin's attempts to avoid schoolwork and his wild fantasies. Another one is 'Peanuts'. Charlie Brown's hapless life, Snoopy's daydreaming on his doghouse are all really funny and have charmed readers for decades.
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.
Sure. There's a story called 'The Haunted Sandwich'. A food critic goes to review a new sandwich shop that has a spooky reputation. Every time someone eats a particular sandwich there, they experience strange hallucinations. The critic, being skeptical at first, tries the sandwich and soon finds himself in a world where the ingredients of the sandwich are coming to life and chasing him. It has elements of both humor, like the way the pickles and tomatoes act like little monsters, and thriller as he tries to escape this food - induced nightmare.
