Hm, I guess Douglas Adams' Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul is too obvious, isn't it? (It's not part of the Hitchhiker's series, by the way).
Or Robert Rankin?

Dark side of the sun(na) and Strata are a couple of non-DW books by Pterry that are quite entertaining, especially once you are familiar with the Discworld, they give you a bit of an insight into how things became what they were... They are SF-Fantasy rather than medieval fantasy, though...

Try the Garrett P.I. series of books by Glen Cook - Glen Cook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Humor isn't the main theme - fantasy and private investigators are - but the humor is most certainly there.

I loved reading those first three on that Glen Cook list:
  1. The Black Company (May 1984)
  2. Shadows Linger (October 1984)
  3. The White Rose (April 1985)
