Here's a simple thread premise, particularly for those who play pen & paper RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons and the like. Though if you don't play any such games, you can instead retell a story based on general roleplay.
The premise is this: from your roleplaying history, have you any memorable stories about comic-relief references to other media, franchises, products, real life events, etc? If so, do tell! Whether you introduced the reference as a GM or experienced it as a player, so long as there was humour, why not share it? And if you don't have any references in particular but would still like to share a moment of humour, feel free to do that too!

Yesterday, I started a new D&D campaign with some friends and family (the premise being a party of pokémon who get transported away to the Sword Coast of Faerûn, Toril), and a certain magic item I gave the party was an instant hit. It was originally contained with a scroll case, and as one of the party released it, I was given the fantastic ability to sing a certain song from Dora the Explorer. The party erupted in laughter as they realised that in order to find their quest objectives, they will have to rely on The Map. Of course, once the party found out that the Map would burst into song whenever it is removed from its case, they started to exploit that fact.

Had some great fun making one of my party members fight the Teletubbies.
Then subtly nudged them toward putting on this magical item...
