Which books make you laugh? - Open thread

This year's Wodehouse prize for comic fiction has been awarded to Howard Jacobson - again. But what makes you laugh?

For the second time, Howard Jacobson has won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction, this year for his novel Zoo Time. The prize, named after the creator of Jeeves and Wooster and the Blandings, is awarded to the book that best captures the spirit of PG Wodehouse.

Most literary awards give their winners cash, but not this one; instead of money Jacobson will be given a pig. A Gloucester old spot, to be precise, as pictured above with last year's winner, Terry Pratchett. Champagne and books complete the prize, but I'm sure you'll agree that the pig is the best part of the haul.

The announcement prompted members of the books desk to name their favourite comic novels. Skippy Dies was mentioned, as were old favourites A Confederacy of Dunces, Love in a Cold Climate and Bridget Jones's Diary. But which books - old or new - tickle you?
