Funny texts between friends
With friends you do not choose your words, and that is the whole risk. A message goes to the wrong chat, an address gets its digits swapped, and logic that felt airtight looks like a scheme on screen. They stay friends anyway, and that is why it is funny.
Why chats between friends make people laugh
A chat between friends is short and fast: nobody rereads, nobody apologises in advance. A mistake in it shows at once, and the other person has the right to answer the way only a friend would.
There are almost no villains in these stories. Even the one who owes everyone 20 sincerely believes he is building a credit history, and the reader laughs with the characters, not at them.
The devices these stories run on
Four moves that show up in almost every funny chat between friends.
- A message in the wrong chat and the attempt to talk your way out
- The mirror: both type the same thing and still do not meet
- Logic that only holds up from the inside
- A turn that swaps who is to blame
How to write your own
Take an everyday situation everyone has been in: a meeting, a debt, a shared plan. Give one friend certainty and the other doubt, and let the chat show which of them is actually right.
Put the pause where the truth becomes clear: the reader gets there half a second before the character, and that is the most satisfying moment of the story.
Wrong chat
A message about the friend who is always late went to that very friend. Who is actually late comes out a minute later.
How it starts
- So Mike’s going to be forty minutes late again, as always
- Let’s start without him, he’ll catch up
- Interesting
- Oh no
- Mike, that wasn’t for you
Lend me some till Friday
A friend asks to borrow 20 till Friday so he can pay back a debt. To the same friend he is asking.
How it starts
- Hey, help me out. Lend me 20 till Friday
- Which Friday
- This one
- You’ve owed me 20 since last Friday
- Exactly
I’m outside
They are both standing outside the building and cannot see each other. The old man on the third floor has spotted her, though.
How it starts
- I’m outside your building
- I’m outside too
- I can’t see you
- I’m in a green jacket
- Nobody here is in a green jacket
