One funny fake sports story could be that in a baseball game, the pitcher threw a ball so fast that it actually went through the catcher's mitt and straight into the concession stand, hitting a popcorn machine and covering the whole area in popcorn. The umpire declared it a 'popcorn out' and the game continued with everyone covered in popcorn.
Sure. In a tennis match, a player's racket suddenly turned into a giant fly swatter. Every time the opponent hit the ball, the player with the fly swatter - like racket would just swat the ball away in the most comical fashion, making the ball fly into the stands and hitting the spectators' ice creams.
There's a story about a baseball team. The pitcher was trying to be really sneaky and threw a very slow pitch. But the batter was so ready for a fastball that he swung way too early and spun around in a circle. His whole team was laughing on the bench.
A tennis player once served the ball and it got stuck in his own shirt. He was so confused and just stood there for a moment while the opponent and the audience burst into laughter.
During a football match, a player from one team tried to cheat by secretly moving the ball forward when the referee wasn't looking. But a little kid in the audience saw it and shouted 'Cheater!'. The referee then realized what had happened and penalized the player. It was hilarious how a young spectator caught the sneaky move.
A funny fake Tumblr story I remember is that there was a so - called 'invisible friend' living in someone's attic. According to the story, this friend would move things around and play pranks on the family. They would find their keys in the fridge or their shoes on the ceiling fan. Another story was about a person who claimed their toaster was possessed and would only toast bread into the shape of famous landmarks. One more story was about a cloud that followed a particular person everywhere and would rain on them when they were sad.
There is a story about a man who found a magic button. Every time he pressed it, his shoes would turn into roller skates. One day, he was in a hurry to get to work and accidentally pressed the button while on the stairs. He ended up rolling all the way down, looking like a total mess but also making everyone around him laugh.
Once upon a time, there was a cat that could talk. It claimed to be a spy from the cat kingdom. It would tell its owner made - up stories about the secret plans of the mice in the neighborhood. For example, it said the mice were planning to build a huge cheese tower to reach the moon. The owner knew it was all fake but found it extremely funny.
They are often full of absurd elements. For example, like in a story where the moon is made of cheese and the astronauts go there to have a big picnic. It defies logic in a humorous way.
Sure. There's the one where a Florida man tried to water ski behind a manatee. It's both absurd and hilarious. Another funny one is about a Florida man who entered a beauty pageant dressed as a giant flamingo.
