Once upon a time, there was a cat that could talk. It went to the supermarket to buy some fish. But when it tried to pay, it pulled out a mouse from its pocket instead of money. The cashier was so shocked that he fainted right away.
Sure. There was once a man who thought he could fly like a bird. So he climbed to the top of a very tall tree. When he jumped, instead of flying, he landed right in a big pile of leaves that some kids had just raked up. He came out looking like a leaf monster, all covered in leaves and twigs, and his friends couldn't stop laughing at him.
Well, you can start by thinking of some absurd situations. For example, imagine a cat that can talk but only in French and it's trying to order pizza from a confused delivery guy. Another way is to take normal characters like a postman and give them really strange habits, like the postman who delivers letters while doing a handstand.
Sure. Once there was a man who claimed he could talk to animals. He said his cat told him it was a secret agent from another planet. Everyone knew it was fake but it was so funny to hear him go on about the cat's 'missions' and how it was undercover as a regular house cat.
Sure. There was a dog who thought it was a superhero. It would run around the neighborhood wearing a little cape, trying to'save' people from things like the mailman or a falling leaf. One time, it even tried to stop a car by standing in front of it, barking furiously. Luckily, the car stopped in time and the driver just laughed at the silly dog.
One important element is creating unique characters. Picture a wizard who is really bad at magic but is too proud to admit it. He tries to cast spells but always ends up with something completely different, like turning his hat into a live chicken instead of making it disappear. Also, a sense of the ridiculous is crucial. If your story involves a serious situation like a bank robbery, but the robbers are wearing clown suits and using water pistols, it can be really funny.
There was a magician who claimed he could turn his assistant into a cloud. He waved his wand and his assistant hid behind a curtain. Then he blew some smoke and pointed to the sky saying his assistant was now a cloud floating above. It was a silly, made - up story but very funny.
Well, imagine we met at a costume party where I was dressed as a space alien and you were a pirate. We kept bumping into each other and ended up having a crazy adventure together!
