In a contest to see whose god was real, Elijah taunted followers of another deity, when they were unable to get their god to perform a miracle:
"Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself".
Yes that was first thing that came to my mind too.
One I would not want to read in church:
1 Samuel 25:
34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

How about in Exodus when God keeps speaking of "My people" . Then in one instance when He is very angry at Israel He complains to Moses about "Your people which you brought up out of Egypt."
It has to be funny.

How about when God says He is going to pronounce a judgment on the land that whoever hears, it their ears will tingle?
How about when God sends a hand to write on the wall of the kingdom of the Babylon the young arrogant kings knees knocked together in fear?
How about when Jesus tells Peter to go fish and the first fish he catches will have a coin in its mouth. He is to go pay the temple tax with that coin ?
A little funny since Peter had boasted that Jesus DID pay the temple tax prematurely.

He made me didn't he?
As for humor, what about Jesus being satirical?
John 10:34 Context
31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

So your god says there are other gods. That isn't news but does earn some highlight.
