What are some common elements in funny hangover stories?

A common element is the headache. It's like a hammer pounding inside your head. Another is nausea. Just feeling like you're going to throw up any second. Also, extreme tiredness and weakness, like you've run a marathon when all you did was drink.

There was this one instance where my buddy got really drunk at a bar. The next day, he told us that he thought he saw a unicorn in the alley on his way home. He was so convinced that he spent half an hour looking for it when he was sober again. It was hilarious because there's no way there was a unicorn there.

Well, dehydration is a big part of long hangovers. Your mouth feels dry, your body feels weak. There could be dizziness too. Some people also experience mood swings during a long hangover, like being irritable or feeling down. And stomach discomfort, ranging from mild indigestion to severe pain, is also quite common in these stories.

Another is feeling extremely nauseous. For example, you might have had a few too many beers at a sports event and the next morning you can't keep anything down. It's not just the physical discomfort but also the mental fog that comes with it. You might forget where you put things or what you were supposed to do that day. It can really mess up your whole day and make you vow to drink less next time.

Unexpected animals or people in the background can be really funny. For example, a cat jumping onto your shoulder as you take a selfie.

In many funny scam stories, the scammers' lack of knowledge about the things they are scamming about can be humorous. For instance, if they are trying to sell a fake antique but give completely wrong historical details. Also, when they accidentally target the wrong person, like trying to scam a detective or someone who works in fraud prevention, that can be really funny as they end up getting caught right away.

One common element is the unexpectedness of the accident. For example, like the basketball player hitting the rim instead of making a dunk. Another is the strange things people say or do when they have a concussion due to confusion, like the guy who thought he was a grocery item. Also, self - deprecating humor from the person who had the concussion, such as the girl laughing at herself for being clumsy.

One common element is the contrast between the temptation and the rules or self - control. For example, in the story of the boy and the lollipop, the rule of no sweets before dinner clashes with his desire for the lollipop. Another element could be the way the character reacts physically. The dog's tiptoeing and nervous glances when tempted by the steak show a physical reaction that adds to the humor. Also, unexpectedness can be an element. Like in the library story, we don't expect a student to be so tempted by cookies in a place like a library.

One common element is when wives get overly enthusiastic about something and it goes a bit wrong. Like my wife trying to bake a cake and using salt instead of sugar by mistake.

Often, the use of the local dialects can add a lot of humor to Pakistani funny stories. The way people speak with their thick accents and use of local idioms can be really funny. Also, the street - smart characters are common. For instance, a small - time vendor trying to outwit his customers in a humorous way. And of course, the religious and cultural festivals also provide a backdrop for many funny tales, like the chaos and fun during Eid preparations.
