Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

But what if I want funny, but I've watched futurama a million times
have you read the Hitchhiker's Guide and the series? because goddamn that shit is funny as fuck if you take the time to comprehend it. A perfect example: Ford Prefect is named after a shitty car because they assumed cars were the dominant form of life because of all the energy and infrastructure we lavished on them. AFAIK it never explains the name in the book lol. You're just supposed to know UK motor trends from the mid 20th century.
another suggestion but a bit more cerebral than Douglas Adams - the Baroque Cycle trilogy has a character called Half Cock Jack Shaftoe, who genuinely has some of the funniest fucking adventures/escapades I've read in ages. Literal laugh out loud cackling madly shit. And his progeny in Cryptonomicon gets the same treatment, two of the funniest characters ever written.
another suggestion more recent: dungeon crawler carl is the purest popcorn mainline gamers/scifi/fantasy readers will encounter, it's over the top and all the way around back to the start but it really works quite well. I was skeptical but enjoyed it thoroughly.
I haven't, but the humour seems very Pratchett-esque, which is right up my alert. The Ford Prefect comment is chefs kiss of subtle jokes
yes, if you love pratchett then adams will be delicious. I just wish there were more books.
Depends on your feelings on Rick and Morty I guess ;)
Books: Fred the Vampire Accountant series
TV: Adventure Time
