A great collection of his humor can be found on the "Strictly Commercial" album. It includes "Dirty Love," "Montana," "San Berdino," "Be in my Video" and several others that are downright hilarious in their send-ups. He was one of a kind.

Funniest album as a whole for me is probably Live at the Fillmore, with Flo & Eddie...Bwana Dik and the Groupie routine, which say so much about the rock world, musicians and their motivations, as well as the psychology of groupies, all stuff that nobody else really puts in question. That version of the Mothers was really like a Vaudeville act.

The "Roger Daltrey gay bar" and "CSN backstage" schtick on the Fillmore record is a riot....Flo and Eddie to boot....best music on any comedy recording I've ever heard...or is it best comedy on a music record?

I think that the most hilarious CD release must be Apostrophe/Overnite-Sensation. ALL the songs are hilarious!

Over-Nite Sensation, who can forget Dynamo Hum? I Am The Slime is also a brilliant piece of songwriting and musicianship

Actually after hearing most of his stuff, I believe 'Playground psychotics' to be the funniest.......the tapes of them on the road are hysterical!

The cover photo is one of the funniest I remember, mostly Zappa dressed like a little girl.
