A woman bought a pair of shoes online. When the shoes arrived, they were not only the wrong size but also seemed to have a mind of their own. At night, she would hear them moving around in the closet. One day, she found them in the kitchen, as if they were trying to make themselves a sandwich. It was a very strange and funny story. Maybe it was just her overactive imagination, but she ended up getting rid of the shoes.
Once upon a time, there was a little frog who lived in a tree. He didn't like water like other frogs but preferred to stay high up. One night, as he was about to go to sleep, a group of squirrels came knocking on his 'door' (a little hole in the tree trunk). They said they heard he could tell great stories. So, the frog began. He told them about a land where the trees walked and the clouds were made of cotton candy. The squirrels were so amazed that they all fell asleep right there. And the frog finally got some peace and quiet to sleep too.
Once upon a time, there was a little bunny who lived in a carrot-shaped house. One night, as he was about to go to bed, he heard a strange noise coming from his closet. He opened it, and out popped a group of dancing socks! They twirled and spun around the room, singing a song about how they hated being separated from their shoes. The bunny was so amused that he forgot all about going to sleep and joined in the sock dance until he was completely worn out. Then he finally curled up in his bed and had the most wonderful dreams.
Sure. Once there was a man who thought his pet chicken could talk. He spent hours every day having conversations with it. One day, he brought the chicken to a vet because he thought it had a sore throat from all the talking. The vet just stared at him in disbelief and told him chickens don't really talk. But the man was convinced his chicken was an exception.
Unexpected twists can make a short story both weird and funny. For example, if a character who is supposed to be a very serious detective suddenly starts dancing the tango in the middle of an investigation. It's not what you'd expect and that's what makes it weird and funny.
I heard about a dog that loved to ride a skateboard. It wasn't just a little bit of fun for the dog. It would actually wait by the skateboard every day and whine until someone took it outside to skate. The dog would balance on the skateboard and ride it down the driveway, looking like a furry little surfer. It was so unexpected and hilarious.
The Bakeneko is a cat - yokai. There was a story in a small village where a family had a cat that they suspected was a Bakeneko. One night, they heard strange noises coming from the kitchen. When they went to check, they saw the cat standing on its hind legs, cooking food on the stove! The family was terrified but also a bit amused at the sight. They decided to call a local exorcist. The exorcist came and after some struggle, managed to 'tame' the Bakeneko. Instead of getting rid of it, they made it promise to stop its strange behavior. The Bakeneko agreed and from then on, it only cooked food when the family was out. It's a really strange and funny story about living with a yokai.
The Tanuki is another interesting yokai for a funny story. Tanuki are known for their shape - shifting abilities. There was a story of a Tanuki that transformed into a teapot in an old woman's kitchen. When the woman picked up the 'teapot' to make tea, it started making strange noises and wiggling. She was so startled that she dropped it. But instead of breaking, the Tanuki - teapot ran away on its little legs, leaving the woman in a state of shock and confusion. It's a really strange and humorous tale of the Tanuki's antics.
One time, I dreamt that I was a mermaid but instead of living in the ocean, I was in a bathtub. The bathtub was as big as an ocean though. I had a pet goldfish that could talk and it was teaching me how to swim better in that tiny - yet - huge bathtub world. It was really a strange and funny dream.
In one of my dreams, I was at a concert where all the musicians were animals. The lead singer was a parrot wearing a top hat and singing opera. The audience was made up of dancing plants. It was a really strange and hilarious dream.
