Definitely 'The Stainless Steel Rat' series by Harry Harrison. The main character, Slippery Jim diGriz, is a con - man in a science - fiction universe, and his adventures are filled with humor and clever twists. 'A Fire upon the Deep' by Vernor Vinge also has some humorous aspects, particularly in its portrayal of different alien species and their cultures. And 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons has moments of dark humor among its complex and epic story, like the tales told by the different pilgrims on their journey.

Humorous science - fiction books often play with science - fiction tropes in a comical way. Take 'Redshirts' for instance. It takes the common trope of the expendable crew member in science - fiction shows and turns it into a hilarious story. Also, the language used can be very witty and full of puns, like in 'Good Omens' where the dialogue between the characters is filled with clever wordplay. And they can have a satirical edge, poking fun at things like bureaucracy or society even in a science - fiction setting.

Good humorous science - fiction books often have absurd or unexpected plot elements. For example, in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', the idea of the Earth being a computer designed to find the ultimate question is completely out - of - the - blue and very funny. They also tend to have witty characters. In 'Redshirts', the characters' self - awareness of their situation in a typical science - fiction trope is humorous. Another characteristic is the use of satire. 'Good Omens' satirizes the idea of the apocalypse and religious dogma in a very humorous way.
