Can you come up with 5 to 10 comedic or funny novels or novels that simply made you laugh out loud? Note they shouldn't require that much concentration. So light and funny books. Not literary masterpieces. Not that they can't be fun too...
My five - but I've already read them...and it's all I can remember. Also I'm not sure about the last three. So it's really only two. The last three had funny sections, but angsty ones too, and the fourth one - I'm guessing was unintentionally funny in places.
1. Lamb or the Gospel According to Biff by Christopher Moore
2. Right Ho, Jeeves by PD Wodehouse
3. Trojan Gold by Elizabeth Peters
4. 50 Shades of Grey by EL James (yes, I have a odd sense of humor, I admit this and only for the first book in the trilogy).
5. The Amazing Maurice by Terry Prachett (although Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett may fit there as well, except it felt like a drawn out joke at times but then so did 50 Shades of Grey.)
Oh...films are easier:
1. To be or not to be by Mel Brooks
2. Noises Off
3. Grosse Point Blank
4. There's Something About Mary
5. The Producers (original non-musical film version) by Mel Brooks
