Minor accidents = Funny accidents

Sometimes minor accidents can be really funny moments. ‘Slapstick’ humour usually involves characters falling, slipping, crashing or

bumping into things in an exaggerated or humorous way, without actually being hurt.

(these things may not be so funny if they actually happened as someone could be injured)

Watch this clip from 5.05 – 6.09 (Rowan Atkinson) and discuss what was funny.

Writing a funny story

Just after school started, it was an unusually normal morning so far. Miss Trunchsnap was teaching Spanish loudly and the rest of the class were lying on the green, germy carpet because she had previously made them stay at school for four extra hours as a detention for messing around. Miss Trunchsnap was very hard to listen to because she kept on making funny noises such as ‘vvvv’ but nothing in this school is ever normal. Unfortunately the children were cutting up there work quickly and some children were even putting sticky gooey glue on the teacher’s chair. Miss Trunchsnap was absolutely furious, so she put everyone in time out but apparently that wasn’t enough for them.
