After a long day at the offi ce, Chris came home one day and found his dog with the neighbour’s
pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit was obviously dead. Chris panicked!
“If my neighbours fi nd out my dog killed their bunny, they’ll hate me forever,” he thought.
So he took the dirty, chewed up rabbit into the house, gave it a bath and blow-dried its fur.
Chris knew his neighbours kept their backdoor open during the summer, so he sneaked
inside and put the bunny back into the cage, hoping his neighbours would think it died of natural
causes.
A couple of days later Chris and his neighbour saw each other outside.
“Did you hear that Fluffy die?” the neighbour asked.
“Oh. Uhmm... Sorry to hear that. What happened?” Chris mumbled.
The neighbour replied, “We just found him dead in his cage one day. But the strange thing is that
the day after we buried him, we went out to dinner and someone must have dug him up, gave
him a bath and put him back into the cage!”

Apa itu Soof Text? Spoof text adalah Teks yang berisi tentang cerita lucu. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, pasti kalian suka mendengar cerita lucu, atau yang disebut anekdot
I think spoof bisa diartikan sebagai suatu cerita yang unpredictable, dimana kejadian lucu itu sendiri disajikan hanya di akhir cerita. Beda tentu jika kita menonton film lawak yang dari awal sampai akhir menyajikan peristiwa yang lucu. Banyak yang menyamakan cerita lucu dengan aktivitas yang bisa membuat orang tertawa seperti terpeleset di depan umum, salah kostum, dsb. Menurut saya aktivitas yang saya sebutkan terakhir adalah aktivitas yang memalukan bukan lucu. Lucu bukan berarti memalukan 
Generic Structure Spoof di awali dengan ORIENTATION, yaitu pengenalan tokoh, tempat, dan waktu. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan EVENT, yaitu urutan kejadian secara detail. Lalu di akhiri dengan TWIST, yaitu bagian terlucu.

Once, a man was walking in a park when he came across a penguin. He took him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What should I do?” The policeman replied, “take him to the zoo” The next day the policeman saw the same in the same park, and the man was still carrying the penguin with him.
The policeman was rather surprised and walked up to the man and asked. “Why are you still carrying that penguin about? Didn’t you take t to the zoo?” ‘I certainly did,’ replied the man. “And it was a great idea because he really enjoyed it, so today I’m taking him to the movies!”

Anyway, there I stood alone, without gun. The lion crept closer and closer and closer…. and I ….” Bert stopped and heaved a deep sigh, impatiently, Justin cried, “Come on, man! What did you do?” His pal shrugged his shoulders and said, “What could I do? I moved on to the next cage.”
A landowner from Seoul went to visit his farmer in the countryside and was treated to a grand dinner of boiled chicken. In the course of the meal, the farmer’s youngest son ran in, shouting, “There it is! He’s eating the dead chicken.” The landowner thought that he had been served a long dead chicken.
So he put down his chopsticks and told the servant to clear the table, politely saying, “This is enough for me. My stomach can’t take any more food.” Just then, the boy started eating the chicken’s leg greedily saying at the same time, “Oh, this is really delicious.” “Why are you eating the dead chicken?” asked the surprised landowner “Who eats live chicken?” replied the boy
An elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing. So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked. The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in two weeks, and meanwhile there’s a simple informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the state of her problem.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor, “start out about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he’s in the living room. He says to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.”
Then in a normal tone he asks, “Honey, what’s for supper?” No response.
So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Still no response.
Next, he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Again he gets no response.
So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for supper?” Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for supper?”
“Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!”
