No one in the bible says anything meaning to be funny, but humor can be found in the bible.
In a contest to see whose god was real, Elijah taunted followers of another deity, when they were unable to get their god to perform a miracle:
"Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself".
One I would not want to read in church:
1 Samuel 25:
34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

How about when God says He is going to pronounce a judgment on the land that whoever hears, it their ears will tingle?
How about when God sends a hand to write on the wall of the kingdom of the Babylon the young arrogant kings knees knocked together in fear?
How about when Jesus tells Peter to go fish and the first fish he catches will have a coin in its mouth. He is to go pay the temple tax with that coin ?
A little funny since Peter had boasted that Jesus DID pay the temple tax prematurely.

The Lord is the source of all that is good . Christians , especially Catholics often seem miserable because of their retarded beliefs

As for humor, what about Jesus being satirical?
John 10:34 Context
31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
