One great comedy long story is 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes. The delusions of Don Quixote, thinking he is a knight and going on absurd adventures, are really funny. For example, his fight with the windmills that he mistakes for giants. Also, 'Three Men in a Boat' by Jerome K. Jerome is a humorous long - story about three friends and their boating trip, full of comical mishaps like their attempts at cooking and camping along the river.
Yes, 'The Great Gatsby' has elements of comedy within its long - story format. The parties that Gatsby throws are extravagant and somewhat comical in their excess. And the interactions between the characters, like the catty remarks and social posturing, can be seen as comical in a satirical way. Also, 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' by Mark Twain is a comical long - story where a modern man finds himself in the Arthurian era, leading to all sorts of humorous clashes between different cultures and time periods.
Sure. 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain can be considered a kind of comedy long story. It follows the mischievous adventures of Tom, filled with humorous situations like when he tricks his friends into whitewashing the fence. Another one is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. The interactions between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, especially in the beginning with all their misunderstandings and witty exchanges, are quite comical in the context of this long - form story.
There's 'The Pickwick Papers' by Charles Dickens. It's a long - form story filled with humorous situations and characters. Mr. Pickwick and his friends' adventures, their misadventures in particular, are really funny. And 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde also has long - drawn - out comical exchanges. The farcical situations like the double identity and the witty dialogues are highly comical.
Another great one is 'Tenali Raman' stories. These are based on the wit and humor of Tenali Raman. His clever solutions to various problems in a comical way are really engaging. For example, there are stories where he outsmarts the king's courtiers with his quick thinking and humorous remarks.
Sure. 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens has its share of comical moments and characters. Uriah Heep's obsequious behavior is both irritating and somewhat comical. Another one is 'The Great Gatsby' which, although not strictly a comedy, has some humorous exchanges, especially the parties at Gatsby's mansion. And 'To Kill a Mockingbird' has some comical scenes with Scout and Jem's childhood antics.
Well, 'The Ransom of Red Chief' is also a great long - winning short comedy story. It tells the story of two kidnappers who kidnap a boy, but the boy turns out to be such a terror that the kidnappers end up paying the boy's father to take him back. The unexpected role - reversal and the boy's antics make it a hilarious read, and it has won acclaim for its comical plot.
'The Phantom Tollbooth' is another excellent one. Milo's adventures in the Lands Beyond are filled with wordplay and absurd situations that are both educational and comical. It's a great way to introduce young readers to the joy of long - form comedic stories.
Since sex - related stories are not suitable for discussion, I'll suggest a comedy movie instead. 'Bridesmaids' is a really funny movie with great comedic acting and hilarious situations.
The 'Scooby - Doo' series also fits. The gang of friends and their talking dog Scooby - Doo go around solving mysteries that usually involve some sort of 'ghost' or monster. But in the end, it always turns out to be a person in a costume trying to scare people away for some not - so - scary reasons. Their adventures are full of comical moments as they bumble around trying to figure things out.
A great Hindi comedy story is about a village simpleton who goes to the city for the first time. He gets confused by all the modern things like elevators and ATMs. His reactions to the new world around him are full of humor. Another story could be about a group of students who try to outwit their strict teacher but end up getting caught in their own traps, which makes for a very funny read.
Another Hindi comedy story involves a group of friends who decide to go on a road trip. They encounter various strange characters along the way, like a roadside magician who accidentally turns one of them into a chicken for a short while. It's full of funny dialogues and situations.
Mark Twain's 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' is also a classic comedy short story. It tells the story of a man who bets on a frog's jumping ability. But his opponent cheats by filling the frog with lead shot. The story is told in a humorous and folksy way.
