Candide is pretty funny. Gargantua and Pantagruel is wonderfully absurd. Also, lots of great plays. Moliere's The Misanthrope and Tartuffe are really funny if performed well.

'funny' books are maybe funny if you're a preening pseudo-intellectual. everybody else gets their humor from healthier places, ie comedians, the internet, television, conversation etc.

The Cyberiad
Waiting For Godot
The Hitchhiker's Trilogy
Pere Ubu
Finnegans Wake

Death on the Installment Plan was hilarious but also pretty gross and dark.

Show me a person who laughs loud at Wodehouse and I'll show you a person even hardcore whovian with tardis collectibles would consider a dork
