To pin-point topics for an expository essay, one of the best methods is to relax and jot down funny topics. Some examples of funny topics could include: why the coyote could never catch the roadrunner, funny facts about dogs, the truth behind 80's hair, or how to become a dancing pirate. Once a list is created, research some of the topics to see which ones can be backed up with the most
. information. Create a rough draft and see where you can add humor here or there without making the essay less factual. For more tips on writing a expository essay the following link: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/expo.html is a helpful guide. If unsure about what to write an essay on, try appealing to things that a lot of people know. For example, if writing for people that attend a high school, talk about how awful the mashed potatoes taste or how silly the history teacher's toupee looks - just make sure that the lunch ladies don't find out!Sarcasm is another funny way to go. Although the website found at http://www2.asd.wednet.edu/pioneer/barnard/wri/exp.htm lists some serious topics like "why friends are important and what makes a good friend," try writing about the exact opposite! Write about how the best of friends never return borrowed items, or always eat the last slice of pizza. Try describing an annoying habit of a close friend in a joking manner, in the style of a comedy roast. These TV specials allow comedians to get together and make fun of another comedian in a lighthearted way. Just don't take the issue too far and say something hurtful, or embarrassing. Another funny topic could be about something that you know a lot about, but is a little strange or gross. Anything that will capture the attention of a reader is a great topic!
