Old funny books

I'm in the middle of Don Quixote and parts of it are hilarious. When he gets his ass kicked at the inn then makes himself a "healing potion" that makes him vomit all over the floor and pass out I was definitely laughing.

This.
Shakespeare is the first thing that comes to mind. Every German philosopher of the 1800's has his moment, too.

Came here to suggest Candide.
Actually made me audibly laugh at multiple points. If I knew nothing about it and someone told me it was written 20 years ago as a parody of old books I would believe them

Old people were literally autists by today's standards though

Their serious stuff is laughable enough
See: the Bible

I know you're memeing but anyway there's plenty of good older humor, the Decameron is 100 stories that are erotic and comedic and usually about some shitty husband getting cucked 600 years ago.

Pantagruel another good one. Also Daniel defoe.

Also came here to recommend Candide and Shakespeare.

I genuinely found parts of Pride and Prejudice funny, but it's also tenaciously dry for a book about shitty people being shitty.

The Canterbury Tales is a lot of irony coupled with some fart jokes and stuff.

I really like Gogol's tongue-in-cheek humour.
And Satyricon has some hilarious escapades.
