If you're willing to read webcomics, try Order of the Stick and Goblins. They're both humorous, self-aware deconstructions of generic DnD-ish fantasy worlds. The latter is slightly more focused on drama nowadays, though.
My plan is to make a Giant List with many Humorous Fantasy Worlds.
Because I don't have a lot of time to seek them myself, I asked for help.

But yeah, I read Order of the Stick and it is awesome. Thank you for remind me :)
Cool! I haven't been keeping up with it for a while myself. I highly recommend Goblins, too. It has the premise of a bunch of low-level goblins taking up adventure classes and "adventuring" a stereotypical fantasy world for the experience needed to defend their tribe.

The Belgariad series by David Eddings, as well as Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress side books. The Mallorean Series (the sequel to the Belgariad) isn't as good, since it retreads most of the original plot, but the first book in the series, Guardians of the West, is downright hilarious. It deals with how the poor heroes have to manage a kingdom in the aftermath of the epic adventure, and they don't do a very good job of it.

These books can best be described as the most generic fantasy quest imaginable, undertaken by a host of characters too self aware for their own good.
So, the heroes like....killed rats from the basement of a Tavern?

You really should have Anachronox in there. It's a lovely old buggy game, but the humor is so wonderfully bizarre, especially for such a crapsack world. For instance? The dominant coin? The Canadian loonie. Your party all get skills that supplement their characterization, and the old man Grumpos' skill? Yammer. Think Grandpa Simpson, only extremely ill tempered and interested in uncovering a hidden feature of all the meteorites that keep dropping to the planet's surface... so, Abe Simpson mashed with Lara Croft? Or, I guess Indiana Jones? Or the whole sequence where you land on Democritus, the Democracy planet, and have to prove you're smart by finding out how the council will vote on the six important issues, so you can vote the same way and get access to the council chambers? That's funny just on the face of it, but one of those issues is 'how steep should all the ramps on the planet be?'
Sorry but I will not include it because is very sci-fi oriented.

I was going to say Disgaea but I see you have that already...

Okami? It takes itself seriously sometimes but it's mostly humorous...

I have high respect for the game Okami and I don't want to include it in the list. Even if it have very funny moments, it have a very serious story to relieve [especially at the end...a mindf*ck for me]

In that case Phantom Brave, which is very similar to Disgaea in tone and style.

Having played the game, with my personal honesty, I think even it look similar with the Disgaea games, It have a very serious tone on it. Especially the little green-hair girl. My god. When she decline to help a villager, my heart get broken....

The movie Your Highness is set in a humorous fantasy world. The only name that comes up is Kingdom of Mourne. Can't find an actual name for the fantasy land.

Many of the ones I was gonna bring up have already been mentioned.
Maybe that game A Bard's Tale? It's supposed to be humorous I think.
I haven't played it though so I don't know how accurate that is.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go read Rat Queens which I bought because that one guy mentioned it.
Also because it, coincidentally, was on sale, which in turn led me to notice that the new volume of Saga was also on sale, and also released, which I had missed until now.
This thread is magical.

If you will read Rat Queens, I suggest to read SkullKickers as well.
Same style: 2 Mercenaries do quest for loot and women, they are loud and angry and a lot of gore and action. Good times.
