I am fully aware of two recent posts regarding both the funniest musicals and highlighted funniest songs. But, there was a plethora of songs from non-comedies, as well as shows that rely solely on visuals for its comedic value. Now, let's put the whole pakcage together. What are some of the funniest cast recordings of all time? This may also show some people what new editions to update their collection with.

The obvious:

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Spamalot
Avenue Q

I think the humor really comes through the songs and I often find myself laughing out loud.

I think the Drowsy Chapeone is very funny to listen to. I love Georgia Engel on the recording. I also agree with Avenue Q and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Because I just got it and it kept a suprising amount of what made the show so special, I have to mention [title of show].

I did a literal spit take the first time I listened to DROWSY CHAPERONE and Aldolfo said "Whaaaaat?"

Cast recordings generally don't make me laugh...

But, in recent memory, hearing Beth Leavel say "Antarctica...oh, please" definitely put a smile on my face - as do most of the lyrics in that song - specifically the ones that refer to her finally leaving the bar, and seeing the morning sun.

Avenue Q- by far

The Drowsy Chaperone (Bride's Lament deserves this title all by itself)
