Dear Connie: Michael Snow's films are generally engaged in all sorts of shenanigans. When Hollis Frampton "dies" in front of the zooming camera, and refuses to stop to find out what's going on, that's pretty funny. However, the one that I like the best is This is the Title of This Film, which is a series of text title cards. There's one great joke in there about This not being a film for people who don't like others reading over their shoulders. I like your project about humor in experimental cinema very much; I've often thought about this as an understudied aspect of this mode of cinema.
