Anecdotal Humor Examples Novels & Stories

The air was filled with their laughter as they retold splendidly outrageous and laugh inducing anecdotes. Sara launched the story, but with a dash of sweetness in her voice. “Austin presented me with a cup of coffee only for it to trip and spill all over my notes as if I am its clumsy oaf.” Austin interjected, he was doubtlessly sarcastic. “Of course no one could believe that Sara was reliable enough to observe a cup of coffee coming around.” Sara dodged with a smile that would not disappear from her face. “I don’t belittle your lack of intelligence; such is the case with some of the people.”

I listened to his taunt and couldn't help but laugh. I'm puzzled about how he accomplishes this. He constantly tells me a hilarious jokes when I'm feeling down, and it instantly lifts my spirits. I mocked him, saying, " you had planned to tell this joke after staying up all night." "No, Mrs. Woods, I had a wonderfully restful night's sleep last night, the best I've ever had." As his eyes scanned my body, I had the impression that I would avoid sunburn from the heat of the sun, but if he continued to do so, my face would undoubtedly heat up once more.

His humor had real life in it, the kind built on trending memes and self-deprecation. He would look at a pan full of vegetables that were falling apart and tell them, with a completely straight face, "You need to calm down." When I accidentally burned a batch of cookies, he burst out laughing and said, "Don't worry, charcoal is a natural energy booster." He was more vivid, more alive, and more human than any set of parameters I could have ever programmed. One evening, he was standing at the counter in an apron, chopping vegetables, and the last of the sunset was falling across him. I looked at his back and felt my heart jolt.

Sarcasm evident in my words *Just hurry up* *Fine* I replied and as I was about to keep my phone back into its rightful place I bumped into someone and my hot cocoa slipped from my hand unto the floor "We have to stop meeting like this cupcake" Only one human being in the world called me that. "Sorry about your hot cocoa though. At least it didn't spill all over your shirt" he said with an amused look on his charming face. Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away

At my sudden question, Cassius stared at me. “...” “Because their horns don’t work,” I said and chuckled. “...” He blinked his eyes as is he finally realized that I am saying a joke. But it felt awkward that he did not smile a bit. And so, I thought of another joke that made me laugh so hard before. “I g-got into a fight with someone last night and it was totally my fault.” “...” “Because I was asked what was on the TV. And I answered, dust.”

"At least it makes for a funny story now." She told them more. About the time she accidentally delivered someone's lunch order to the wrong building and ended up eating it herself because she could not find the right address. About the customer who tipped her with a singing bass mounted on a plaque because he had no cash. About the day she rode her bike through a parade route without realizing it and ended up being photographed by tourists who thought she was part of the show. The room filled with laughter. Real, genuine laughter. The kind that made your stomach hurt and your face ache.

Everyone spoke in an intimate tone and looked warm and happy. The conversation continued with laughter and lighthearted stories. One of Albert's team, Russel by name, is known for his spontaneous jokes, telling stories of funny times when he was new to the legal world. He was one of those who stood out because he often said funny things to break the tense atmosphere. “You know, I once gave the wrong document to a judge. Instead of case documents, I gave him my weekly grocery list! I almost died standing there!” Everyone laughed out loud at Russel's words. Albert was no exception. The team leader just shook his head in surprise but could not hide his laughter because indeed, that was how ridi

He seemed almost relieved, though about what she couldn’t guess. “I mean... Look, you know I have a hard time believing this stuff, but it was clearly enough for you to believe, and that alone is worth something. Plus it’ll be quite a story to tell your kids one day, don't you think? ‘So Dad, how’d you meet Mom?’ ‘Oh, well, let me tell you about the hundred psychics in one day that made me bust up my relationship and head back home. I happened to stumble over her here in the most mundane, generic, beautiful beach town on Earth. Worth it!’” She couldn't help the giggle that bubbled up, barely registering that they were falling right back into their old selves, complete with the teasing, sarca

The seating arrangements were quite tricky but we still ended up at a good seat. And soon, the show started. "Hello everyone, my name is Justin and I'm your comedian for today." He said and the crowd roared with applause. "So something happened to me a week ago that I want to share with you lot." He began. "My girlfriend dog died and I got her another one but she was upset." "I asked her why.." "And she screamed - what would I do with two dead dogs?" Justin said and the crowd roared with laughter. I laughed too. I've always found dark humor funny anyways. I looked to my side where Eve sat but she didn't seem amused at all.

And I can't be less proud of her. The rest of our dinner time is filled with us eating together and my mum and I laughing at Cathy's hilarious jokes and stories, particularly at the story she told us of how she had to throw bagel bread at an annoying colleague of hers so that she can grab his attention to work. I really tried so hard not to picture the scenerio in my head, but I just could not stop myself from laughing at the imagination. Thank God I had already swallowed my food before then.
