I give you 1934-35 Austria 358 (on the left) with the wine flask half drunk, and the ears on backwards. The ear orientation is corrected on Austria 372.
Humorous?
I think so.
Of course "Humor", or "Humour" is cultural, but what stamp(s) have you found particularly laugh-worthy?

Londonbus1-thanks for the humourous philatelic material. 
This topic perhaps is rather hard for people to post examples, as most stamps are hardly humorous. 
But, here is another example...
Karelia 1922 Scott 13 15m green & carmine "Bear"; Genuine
The design shows the national coat of arms of the newly minted state of Karelia. An enraged bear is pictured, having just broken his chains, holding a blade called a billhook over his head, ready for any action.
But others have described the impression as a "Dancing Bear, standing on a bicycle chain, swinging a golf club over his head".
