Forgive me for asking such a stupid question friends, but what are some more bands with a sense of humor like Zappa, Bungle, and Ween?

Some of QOTSA's stuff is goofy.
Primus?
Half Man Half Biscuit. Not all of it is comedy though

I think like 80% of all Steely Dan/Donald Fagen songs are hilarious, especially because the sons' sordid subject matters clash so well with their hyper-produced recording aesthetic.
For some specific "comedy" songs from Steely Dan (omitting Fagen's solo stuff), I'd try:
Badhisattva
Don't Take Me Alive
Barrytown
Through With Buzz
Deacon Blues
Gaucho
There are a bunch of them though.
Adding onto that, everyone should hear Morph the Cat from Fagen's solo output.

It could easily pass as a Zappa penned tune.
They Might Be Giants, though it's more subdued they can get quite hilarious on their early albums.
For sure. Morph the Cat is wonderful. And towards the topic at hand: H-Gang and Morph the Cat itself are both amusing songs.
Phish have some goofier material like "Poor Heart."
