Mistakes can make for a funny story. Say a bricklayer misreads the blueprint and builds a chimney where a window should be. His shocked reaction followed by a humorous excuse like 'I thought we were building a house for Santa' can be really funny. Also, the interaction between the bricklayer and his tools or materials. If a bricklayer names his trowel 'Mr. Pointy' and has conversations with it while working, that's a great source of humor.
One element is the bricklayer's clumsiness. For example, if a bricklayer trips over a pile of bricks and then says something self - deprecating like 'I'm more of a brick tripper than a bricklayer today.' Another element could be the bricklayer's unique way of dealing with problems on the job. Such as when the mortar is too dry and instead of complaining, the bricklayer makes a joke about it, like 'This mortar is so dry, it thinks it's a desert.'
The element of unexpectedness is key. Imagine a bricklayer who is quietly working and suddenly a bird lands on his head. Instead of getting angry, he calmly says 'Well, I guess I'm the new bird perch in town.' Also, cultural differences can add humor. If a foreign bricklayer has some language mix - ups related to bricklaying terms and creates a comical situation on the job site, that can be really funny.
In the 'the bricklayer funny story', there might be a situation where the bricklayer is competing with another bricklayer. But instead of focusing on building well, he is more focused on showing off. So he tries to lay bricks super fast and ends up dropping bricks all over the place. His face is covered in cement and his efforts to keep up the competition in such a clumsy way can be really funny.
A bricklayer was working on a very hot day. He was sweating a lot and his bricks were also getting hot. He picked up a particularly hot brick and said, 'Hey, little fella, you're almost as hot - tempered as me today. But don't worry, we'll both cool down soon enough.' His co - workers nearby burst out laughing at his little conversation with the brick.
Once there was a bricklayer named Bob. One day, he was building a wall and accidentally used the wrong type of mortar. Instead of getting all worried, he just started making funny shapes with the bricks. He made a brick dog that looked like it was chasing a brick cat. His boss came by and was so amused that he let Bob keep the wacky part of the wall as a little comical addition to the building.
I'm not sure which 'the bricklayer funny story' you are referring to. It might be a story where a bricklayer accidentally uses the wrong type of bricks and ends up creating a really strange - looking structure. His boss comes and is so astonished that his expression is hilarious.
Relatable situations also work well. We all know how it feels to be embarrassed in public. A story about someone slipping on a banana peel in a crowded place is funny because we can put ourselves in that situation.
Surprise is a key element. For example, in a short story like 'The cat thought it was a dog for a day. Then it remembered it had nine lives and didn't care anymore.' The unexpected twist at the end makes it funny.
One element is unexpected mistakes. Like when a curler slips and accidentally makes a great shot. Another is strange team strategies, for example, using odd - looking equipment.
Surprise endings can make a bedtime story funny. For example, if a character is expecting one thing to happen, like a mouse expecting to find cheese, but instead finds a big elephant in the cheese place. Also, silly characters like a clumsy bear who always trips over his own paws can add humor. And using funny voices when you tell the story, like a high - pitched voice for a tiny ant and a deep voice for a little frog, can make it more enjoyable.
The reactions of people around also matter. If someone with a really strange - looking wig gets stared at or gets funny comments from others, that can add to the humor. Also, when the person wearing the wig does something silly like trying to adjust it in a very awkward way in public. There was a time when a man had a huge afro wig on and was constantly patting it down as if it was a real hair that could be tamed, which was really funny.
The human factor also plays a role. For instance, if a person is so confident in using L'Hopital's rule but makes a really silly mistake like forgetting to simplify before differentiating or getting the derivative wrong. Their over - confidence combined with the mistake can create a very funny situation.
