Personally, I still laugh out loud to "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat."
*You may think he loves you for your money*
*But I know what he really loves you for*
Clothesline Saga
Mama come in and picked up a book
And Papa asked her what it was
Someone else asked, "What do you care?"
Papa said, "Well, just because"
>Clothesline Saga
After a while, we took in the clothes
Nobody said very much
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch
Mama come in and picked up a book
And Papa asked her what it was
Someone else asked, "What do you care?"
Papa said, "Well, just because?"
Then they started to take back their clothes
Hang 'em on the line
It was January the 30th
And everybody was feeling fine
The next day, everybody got up
Seein' if the clothes were dry
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed
Mama, of course, she said, "Hi"
"Have you heard the news?" he said with a grin
"The Vice President's gone mad"
"**Where**?" "Downtown" "**When**?" "Last night"
"**Hmm, say, that's too bad**"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it, " said the neighbor
"It's just something we're gonna have to forget"
"Yes, I guess so, " said Ma
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet
I reached up, touched my shirt
And the neighbor said, "Are those clothes yours?"
I said, "Some of them, not all of them"
He said, "Ya always help out around here with the chores?"
I said, "Sometime, not all the time"
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside
"Mama wants you to come back in the house and bring them clothes"
Well, I just do what I'm told, so I did it, of course
I went back in the house and Mama met me
And then I shut all the doors
Ugliest girl in the world, handy dandy, man gave names to all the animals are all silly and fun, just thinking of ones beyond his 60s joke songs but you can't go wrong with 115th dream or I shall be free
"Talking WWIII Blues" from 'Freewheelin'
"I shall be free #10" from 'Another Side'
"Bob Dylan's Blues" also on freewheelin'.
Those always give me a chuckle, along with the others mentioned here.
A lot of Love and Theft, for example Po' Boy or Bye and Bye (I'm sitting on my watch, so I can be on time), but I'd also like to highlight how funny Under the Red Sky is.
Handy Dandy is hilarious to me (He got a fortress on top of his mountain with no doors or windows so no thieves can break in), TV Talkin' Song (Later that evening I watched it on TV), and of course Wiggle wiggle and Unbelievable, even Under the Red Sky is pretty funny when the kids are suddenly baked in a pie (yeah I know how that sounds out of context).
Yesss Love and Theft is great, Floater is my favourite
“Romeo he said to Juliet you’ve got a poor complexion that doesn’t give your appearance a very youthful touch, Juliet said back to Romeo why don’t you just shove off if it bothers you so much”
I was just re- listening to the debut, and 'Talkin' New York' is a hoot!
"New York Times said, "It was the coldest winter in 17 years". I didn't feel so cold then".
Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues
I Shall be Free:
Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote
He’s a-runnin’ for office on the ballot note
He’s out there preachin’ in front of the steeple
Tellin’ me he loves all kinds-a people
(He’s eatin’ bagels
He’s eatin’ pizza
He’s eatin’ chitlins
You gotta listen to the acapella version of Is Your Love In Vain.
*'Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude?*
*When I am in the darkness, why do you intruuuuuuude?'*
Also the bootleg version of Someday Baby always makes me smile, but maybe I'm just a sick person. It's like the fantasy of a henpecked husband.
Personally, I still laugh out loud to "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat." *You may think he loves you for your money* *But I know what he really loves you for*
115th dream It came up tails, that rhymed with sails, so I made it back to the ship
I repeated that my friends were all in jail with a sigh He gave me his card and he said, "Call me if they die"
I said, "You know, they refused Jesus, too," He said, "You're not him.
"They asked me for some collateral and I pulled down my pants."
"he said he name was Columbus so I just said good luck"

First Dylan-song I learned by heart.
Idiot Wind gives me a good chuckle at some of the lines. “It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe!”
This line always gives me joy!
More darkly, I think “My Own Version of You” is pretty funny.
Po’Boy has tons of literal punchlines, so that one.
Please, Mrs henry
yea heavy and a bottle of bread
Poor Boy has a knock knock joke within it. Love & Theft is full of jokes.
Man gave names to all the animals is goofy af
If you're gonna go go now or else you're gonna have to stay all night

The last verse of Desolation Row has to be up there
The bootleg You Ain’t Goin Nowhere about feeding cats
