Night Huntress does have several memorable funny parts throughout the series.Chicagoland Vampires has some. Mostly when Mallory is involved.
Dark-Hunters has several. One of my favorite lines is 'Come to the dark side. We have cookies' (Zeth, from Dream Warrior). Another moment is the 'Similicious' part! Love Simi!
BDB's comic relief has to go to Lassiter and Rhage. Love Rhage!
Jericho from the Fever series, dancing to 'Tubthumbing' by Chumbawumba. Naked.
SO many moments! I want to re-read several of my series over again!
I love the Parasol Protectorate Series. Alexia Tarabotti and Lord Maccon's bantor set in the Victorian era cracks me up. I can't read it at work because I sit there with a stupid grin on my face as I read. Alexia has to be one of the smartest heroines ever. So witty!

The Katie McAllister - Aisling Gray series are a hoot. I would definitely recommend them.

I like the Aisling Gray series, too. Jim always cracks me up.
I have requested
(on CD) from the Library. I figure it will be something I can listen to during my 1.5 - 2 hr drive each day. I am waiting on
from the library but not sure that it falls under any sort of Funny read.Also I have ordered from
and
from booksfree.com so I should have them in less than a week. I started reading
last night and got up to chapter 11.. FUNNY!!

Christine Warren's Other's series is pretty funny. I also like the "Love At Stake" series. I can't remember who writes it but those vamps in kilts are halarious.
One of the series I discovered this month, thanks to Felicia Day, was really funny, in a not out loud but smirky way. Lots of witty banter, especcially in the later books.The last book was a bit darker in athmosphere, but all in all I think it still qualifies as a funny series.
I'd categorize it as paranormal Fantasy with romantic aspects more than as PNR, and theoretically it's probably science-fiction, but who cares?
The hero and heroine are very enjoyable and have 'sometimes I want to smack your head and then cuddle you' flaws.
The covers have actually nothing to do with the books though. It's some of the most wrong artist work in the history of books :p
Oh and I should probably mention the actual name of the series *rolls eyes* It's the Hero series by Moira J. Moore
My favorite funny PNR series would have to be the Pride Series by Shelly Laurenston.
They're hilarious and sexy!!!
I'm so glad Shelly Laurenston's books have made this list! I reread her Pride Series whenever I need a good laugh - it always provides a pick-me-up.
Hey, I just realized, we don't have Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series on this list. A fun read set in a Steampunk Victorian England.
My favorite funny series are:Jane Jameson by Molly Harper
Vegas Vampires by Erin McCarthy
Aisling Grey by Katie MacAlister
Light Dragons by Katie MacAlister
Pride Series by Shelly Laurenston
Accidental Friends by Dakota Cassidy
Broken Heart, OK by Michele Bardsley
Love love love Lynsay Sands Argeneau Series. Very funny books. I've had to re-read parts because they were so funny. And very romantic of course :)Also; After Midnight by Teresa Medeiros was hilarious and sweet at the same time. The second book (The Vampire Who Loved Me) was pretty good; but not the best I've ever read.
Also, all the True Blood books are wonderful. They are very different from the show - less violence and more steamy romance. Also more emphasis on the love triangles and great humor.
Night Huntress is really funny. There are some great characters and everyone gets funny lines. Love Ian and Vlad's stuff especially. I think that Chicagoland is pretty funny and lighthearted too.
The funniest series I have read is the Stephanie Plum books. They are not PNR but they are laugh out loud funny at time. I guess Ranger could be supernaturally hot....maybe that counts!
