Doctor Funny Humpday Checkup
April 27, 2022
Good Morning Interns,
The editorial team at Doctor Funny has news.
May is National Embarrassing Medical Moments Month!
And, if you think we are making that up, Google it. No, don’t. You’re right, we’re making that up to offer as a writing prompt for May.
But your prompt responses will be nothing but truthful, or fictional.
That’s right. Tell us about the time you had a shampoo bottle in your anus ‘by accident.’ What about the time you broke your toe doing a Richard Simmons VHS workout. Or remember when you raced to the ER because you thought you were covered in squirrels? That was a fun trip *wink*.
You mean Doctor Funny wants to hear about my mammogram?
Bet your squishy tits we do.
Does Doctor Funny want to know about my foot fungus?
Fungus is funny! Hell yeah. Send it!
Birth story! Birth story! Birth story! Finally someone who wants to hear my birth story!
Um. Maybe? You sound pretty pumped about it and you clearly survived, so I’m gonna say, sure. As long as the baby was born with a tail, or you squeezed your partner’s hand so hard, it fell off at the wrist. You know, the funny stuff.
Add the kicker NATIONAL EMBARRASSING MEDICAL MOMENTS MONTH. If you don’t remember how to add a kicker, look here.
The next edition of our Humpday Checkup will be filled with bodily fluids, mangled parts, and apparently, afterbirth as Jen highlights your work. Can’t wait to read your funny fails!
The doctor does not recommend you manufacture a broken body part for this May’s prompt, but I’m not saying that.
Editor’s Picks
Every two weeks the editors bestow kindness on three articles that made us wish we were better writers.
Laco’s pick
Trigger warning if you are less than 45!
Burg’s pick
Complete with instructions on how to make toilet wine!
Jen’s pick
Coco Chanel or Koko Gorilla? You tell us.

Write for Us — We’re Hot
Doctor Funny has been recognized by the algorithm gods of late, so jump on our gurney. There’s plenty of room.
The following writers have been writing funny stuff elsewhere — not that I was stalking you or anything. Like, I’m not even really fangirling. It’s like I’m kind of off in the distance, watching every move you make, but it’s totally within the acceptable range. You looked really cute the other day in that onesie, by the way, not that I was looking. The police said I had to delete the pictures. Please send me more.
I blame Dr. Burg.
I always blame Dr. Burg.
Here’s a call out to remind you to think of us when you have something funny to extract, we’re ready to glove up and go gentle.
