I think I found the funniest version of "The tortoise and the hare" tale type just now 😄 From Japan.

It is about a centipede and a slug running a race to a shrine. Obviously the centipede gets there first, but when the slug arrives, centipede is still taking his sandals off, so slug enters the shrine first.

😆
