I think "you are what you is" for taking the p*ss out of everyone and everything, thought some of it is NOT politically correct.....

I think that 'Apostrophe' is the funniest album I've heard; and the music is excellent too.  'Bobby Brown' is very funny song too, and I was almost in tears with laughter when I heard Zappa's version of that old finnish tango song 'Satumaa'.

Broadway the Hard Way, ladies and gentlemen, Broadway the hard way...
Mainly for Elvis has just left the building, but also for the magnificent Planet of the Baritone Women. And Welcome to the United States from The Yellow Shark rocks, in its avant garde classical kinda way; it gets more relevent every day. But Go Cry on Somebody Else's Shoulder from Freak Out is pinpoint satire, musical and social, with its doo-wop and highschool ring.
BTW, I gave somebody my ring in highschool, but that's a different story...
Perfect music for people who hate people.

My absolutely favourite hilarious ZAppa track is the 20 minutes version of 'Don't eat The Yellow Snow ' on 'YCDTOSA'Vol. 1, where he asked the public to 'jump up and down',( "I'll do the stupid thing first and then you shy people follow"), followed by the great poetry contest...In general I find his live recordings funnier, I like Zappa's improvised humour when he makes comments on the band, or answers a public request,... another winner, 'The Best Band You Never Heard In You Life' and the 1986 touring band in general. All the pastiche songs, for example the Johnny Cash imitation 'Ring Of Fire') and commentaries (mostly politic, this was the tour when Zappa asked the people to vote after the show,BTW 'Broadway The Hard Way and 'Jazz From Hell' come from the same tour) + this hilarious sampled noises and dorks.

Zappa in New York is another classic ... humorous highlights include Titties 'n Beer, The Illionois Enema Bandit, The Black Page (Easy Listening Version) and of course: Punky's Whips.
