I hadn't noticed this topic before!
My favourite is Father Ted. That's very close to my own sense of humour; he makes a joke about the Chinese, and all of a sudden there is not only a Chinatown on this little Irish island, some Chinese also happen to stand outside his window at that exact same moment. I love that sort of clever absurdity.
I like Terry Pratchett for that as well; "The librarian hid on top of the shelves as a Thesaurus thundered by." Brilliant!
I'm not much for the slapstick kind... too silly for me. But my boyfriend Dave loves it and many an evening I've been watching over the top of my book while he laughs himself silly next to me.
