Pretty much anything by Christopher Moore, especially h{{Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal}}

The Andrea Vernon series by Alexander Kane. it’s silly funny similar to the movie Airplane, as opposed to more intellectual humor like David Sedaris. I love both!

Hitchhiker’s Guide, Discworld, and more recently Dungeon Crawler Carl are all series have made me actually lol. My sense of humor was very much shaped by Monty Python if that gives you an idea. I really wish I could post quotes.
