When it comes to musical comedies, Little Shop and hairspray are my fav.

Hairspray! I don't think its necissarly the funniest, but i remember laughing a lot at Drowsy Chaperone. Urinetowns pretty funny too.

HOW TO SUCCEED... when done with brilliant comedians is hysterical.
But I think the bestest funniest is A FUNNY THING HAPPENED...
When I saw Zero and/or Nathan my sides split.

Why do the funny ones have such long titles?

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Spamalot had me in convultions (spelling? Yeah a person who spends there whole life writing should know but yeah...) and Legally Blonde, while it did raise a few smiles throughout, should be commended for producing the funniest scene of the last season. "Is he gay...or European?"

For me, the funniest show ever was Noises Off!

As for musicals, I would include Spelling Bee and Drowsy Chaperone.

The funniest play I've ever seen, without a doubt is Noises Off, which I saw in San Francisco.

The funniest musical? That's easy, the title says it all: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Saw it on Broadway with Nathan Lane and Mark Linn Baker and it was hysterical.

Funniest musical I've ever seen is Urinetown.
