I am enjoying all the titles, but wanted to include a couple of my favorite YA.
_The Adventures of Blue Avenger_ by Norma Howe is very funny. There is a sequel, too. Everything by Joan Bauer, but she has been mentioned before. I think Chris Crutcher can be funny. I especially loved _Stotan!_ The swim team is a group of funny misfits. And I also wanted to mention _Rats Saw God_ by Rob Thomas. YA humor is sometimes such a black humor, just like _Catcher in the Rye_. We laugh, but we also cry.
