Christopher Stasheff's fantasy books have a good dose of humour in most of them, particularly his A Wizard in Rhyme series. The Warlock series has some humour as well but I don't recall it being quite as humorous.
Also, there's the hilarious Chicks series of short story fantasy anthologies (Chicks in Chainmail, Chicks 'N Chained Males, Did You Say Chicks?!, Turn the Other Chick, The Chick is in The Mail) edited by Esther Friesner. Friesner has also authored a number of humorous fantasy books, like Wishing Season.
Margaret Ball has a couple of humorous fantasy books as well: Mathemagics and Lost in Translation.
Isaac Asimov's Azazel (a collection of satirical short stories about a guy who carries around a diminutive demon in his pocket) and a lot of his scifi short stories (particularly the mysteries) are loaded with tongue-in-cheek humour and puns. The Norby Chronicles, a juvenile robot series co-written by Isaac and Janet Asimov, is also rather amusing (the earlier books were better than the last ones in the series, if memory serves correctly). A lot of Asimov's writing is more of the groaner than the LOL type of humour but it's still very amusing.
Just a few more fantasy books to wrap this up: Witch and Wombat by Carolyn Cushman and several by Holly Lisle including Sympathy for the Devil, Hell on High, The Devil and Dan Cooley, and - I think - Mall, Mayhem, & Magic.
It's been a while since I've read most of these, so some of them may not be quite as good as nostalgia would lead me to believe, but they all earned permanent places on my shelves (well, permanent until I manage to replace the paper version with electronic, that is).
