Comedy matches certainly have a place in wrestling. It get's quite boring if you have no variety in a show & it's just straight-forward match/talking segment, rinse & repeat. Breaking up your show with a fun little match that elicits some laughs from an audience is always a good thing; so I was curious, what's your favourite one?
I was re-watching Wrestlemania 17 the other day, & i'm not sure if I would classify this as a comedy match but I flat-out love the triple threat hardcore title match between Raven, Big Show, & Kane. Pretty much everything in the match makes me laugh - whether that's the reaction they wanted or not, but I had an amazing time watching it again. Raven trying to drive the golf cart with Big Show on the back of it before crashing into a fence still makes me crack-up laughing. Kane following - & running down - Raven is unintentionally hilarious. Even Raven getting thrown through a window is somehow hilarious; right alongside Kane & Big Show choking each other as they fell through a wall.
Damn, this match was great.

Another Big Show/Kane example, their "technical wrestling" match on Raw in 2006. Two guys with a great chemistry working a good, unusual angle in a fun way.

There's many, but my nod is for Archibald Peck vs. Chuck Taylor from Chikara's show in Ottawa in 2012. Random posing in front of a painting in the building, general confusion throughout, random Portia Perez sighting (not that random given she's from Ottawa, but she wasn't wrestling on the show), and Archie going for his finisher, only to get his head stuck in the low ceiling.

To name one is Orton vs Otunga on SD in the Miracle on 34th street fight.

The Miracle on 34th Street Fight, easily. Especially when Orton beans Otunga in the head with a Christmas present and starts laughing as Otunga falls down.

Duchess Of Queensbury Rules match between William Regal and Chris Jericho, Backlash 2001. Brilliant.

I remember enjoying Colt Cabana v Delirious v Larry Sweeney in a match that was a tribute to Chris Candino.

It wasn't comedy all the way through but the Chuck Taylor vs. Kevin Steen match that opened BOLA N1 this year was pretty funny to start off with. They got serious later in the match but the start was hilarious,

Cena vs. Del Rio Miracle on 34th Street Fight was high comedy to me. The whole bit with the presents and Del Rio getting a stuffed bear then throwing it at Cena like a grenade. Cena screaming for Santa then Ricardo's reaction to seeing Santa make his entrance.
