I'll add:
Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat series, SF comedy
Simon R. Green's Deathstalker series, SF perhaps not comedy but certainly lighter in tone and poking fun at more than a few of the tropes of the SF/F genre.
Second Terry Pratchett, and don't miss the YA books (Johnny books and Tiffany books) which are also very good. The early books tend to parody epic fantasy, but the later ones take on our world. My favourites are the Guards books which begins with Guards! Guards! but I think really starts to come into its strength in the second book, Men at Arms.
