Any work of Raymond Queneau
I personally suggest "Zazie in the Metro", "The Blue Flowers" and "We always treat the women too well"
He's the most funny author that i had ever read
Neil Munro - The Para Handy stories.
Stephen Leacock - anything
Vladimir voinovich - The Adventures of Private Chonkin
O Henry, a personal favorite for a laugh.
the funniest books I've ever read would have to be Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. They get funnier every time I read them.
Doc awakened very slowly and clumsily like a fat man getting out of a swimming pool. - John Steinbeck
When I was very young, my brother gave me a book that he thought was very funny. And it was. It's the funniest, silliest book I've ever read. The writing was not good and the humor was pretty juvenile, but I laughed all the way through the book. It was The Horse is Dead by Robert Klane.
What was the funniest book you ever read?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Insanely funny; but you have to be in the right frame of mind to read it (or have a twisted sense of humor)..... I've recommended it to a number of people who just couldn't get through it, and thought me crazy for loving it.
The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
Blart(kids book that had me in stitches on a train once. Lots of people staring.)

Catch 22 comes to mind, and in dryer, more subtle vein, anything by Wilfred Sheed, and the two books of short stories and the first novel by J.F. Powers.
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis
Nice Work by David Lodge
Thank You for Smoking by Christopher Buckley
Of course i'm reading Don Quixote right now and it is hilarious. Just check out the Don Quixote Reading Group thread here on Lit Net.
There ought to be more but I can't think of any of the top of my head.
edit:
Oh of course. I just read this a few months ago:
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
And Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

Barney's version by Mordecai Richler....I truely loved it....it is not that it makes you laugh out loud, but it surely makes you smile
Complete Nonsense for Edward Lear was funny to me.. and a complete nonsense indeed
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death. - Robert Fulghum
