In this vein I'd also suggest the Laundry Files series by Charles Stross and the Arthur Wallace series by Jonathan Wood are very similar - urban fantasy, secret spy / police occult organizations, British humour

Also the Stainless Steel Rat series - it's not as slapsticky as Bill, but still comedic.

Craig Shaw Gardner's Ebenezum/ Wuntvor trilogies are fantasy comedy.

Philip Jose Farmer (as Kilgore Trout) wrote Venus on the Half Shell as a sci fi comedy.

(On the topic of Kilgore Trout - that pseudonym is actually a character from several of Kurt Vonnegut's books - also mentioned in this thread.)

Yahtzee Croshaw (the Zero Punction guy) has also written several fantasy and sci fi comedy books - Jacques McKeown is one series.

Glen Cook, more famous for the Black Company series - also writes a fantasy comedy series - Garrett P.I..

Steven Erikson, more famous for the Malazan books - also writes a sci-fi comedy series - Wilful Child.

Robert Lynn Asprin also wrote the Myth Adventures series. Phule's Company is sci-fi comedy, Myth Adventures is fantasy.
