One funny fiction story is 'A Retrieved Reformation' by O. Henry. The main character's transformation from a criminal to a respected citizen in an unexpected way is really funny. And then there's 'The Cop and the Anthem' where a homeless man tries all sorts of crazy things to get arrested so he can have a warm place to stay for the winter, which is full of comical moments.
I'd suggest 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole. The main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is a larger - than - life and extremely comical figure. His misadventures in New Orleans are both absurd and engaging. And 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is a funny take on the classic 'Pride and Prejudice'. It adds a zombie - apocalypse element which creates a whole new level of humor to the story.
There's a great one where a wizard's hat gets a mind of its own. It keeps flying around the wizard's cottage, stealing his snacks and making a mess. The wizard chases it all over the place, and the little adventure is filled with comical moments as the hat plays tricks on him. It's really short but extremely funny.
One funny literary fiction story is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's filled with absurd humor, like the concept of the answer to life, the universe, and everything being 42. Another is 'Good Omens' co - written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It humorously combines the ideas of angels, demons, and the end of the world. And 'Bridget Jones's Diary' by Helen Fielding is also great. It's a hilarious take on a single woman's life in London, with all her insecurities and comical dating experiences.
One funny short story is 'A Retrieved Reformation' also by O. Henry. It tells the story of a safecracker who tries to go straight but gets pulled back into his old ways in a rather humorous way.

And 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury also has some subtly funny elements as it portrays a future society in an off - beat manner.
Well, 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain is also a funny short story in literary fiction. The narrator is sent to interview a man named Simon Wheeler, who then tells a long - winded and absurd story about a frog - jumping contest. Twain's use of humor and the vivid characters in this short story are quite remarkable.
Definitely. 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller is a funny yet profound literary work. The circular logic in the 'catch - 22' situation is both absurd and thought - provoking.
