All of Dan Jenkins' novels are hilarious, but damn, they are un-PC.

Repeating some listed by others:

As mentioned by others early Carl Hiassen is great, but he falls off eventually.
Douglas Adams (Hitcherhiker's Guide and Dirk Gently)
Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman

When I saw the title I clicked to recommend Confederacy of Dunces.

As someone who grew up in working class New Orleans it was fricking hilarious. Filled with tons of laugh-out-loud moments.

Highly recommend the Provence series by Peter Mayle.

A Year in Provence, Toujours Provence, Encore Provence, etc. Non-fiction, great descriptions of life in Provence through the eyes of a Brit expat. A lot of the humor arises from the clash of cultures, expectations, work ethic, etc. A very addictive set of books!

I found the Fletch series to be pretty funny

Gregory McDonald wrote close to a dozen of them.
