Humour Writing Prompts

An employee discovers hidden cameras in the office and takes it upon themselves to find out what is going on...

Write a complete story that takes place in a single, confined setting (e.g., an elevator).

Focus on character interactions and internal thoughts to maintain interest.

You are attempting a new hobby, but it isn't going well. Write a poem about your frustrations.

Choose a specific style of poetry that would be suitable for displaying negative and perhaps repetitive thoughts!

Write a scene where two characters discuss a mundane topic, like the weather, but both have hidden agendas.

Use subtext to hint at the underlying motives without stating them explicitly.

Your character works in an a mundane office environment, and their mind likes to wander during the workday.

You can be as creative as you like here; descriptively write about their daydreams, or keep to a story about the scenario itself.
