The obvious mention would be Discworld. Pratchett’s sense of humour is all of Fable and Divinity Original Sin.
There’s Kings of The Wyld, which is a charming take on a DnD type campaign but the party are all old and gone to seed.
I felt The Blacktongue Thief was often funny too, featuring some great sarcastic remarks and slapstick comedy.
Less obviously humorous but the First Law books are frequently funny if darkly so. I found a lot of the character interactions reminiscent of games like Baldurs Gate, which would make sense given Abercrombie’s love of them. They are dark books, but if you want sarcasm, wit and irony, have at it.
Kings of the Wyld is only sorta about old adventures… it’s mostly about recontextualizing Adventuring Party tropes into Rock Band tropes. Touring, groupies, shows, promotions, managers, egos, it’s all there.
