We all know and love the one about him telling Abraham to kill his son, and Abraham nearly doing it instead of asking god if he was serious. What other funny stuff has this merry prankster been up to?

I think the platypus is pretty funny. Or penguins.
It was also kinda funny how he told Adam he'd die the day he ate the fruit, then let Adam live another few centuries.
And then there was the time he let Jonah get swallowed by a whale.
But my all-time favorite is the joke that keeps on giving....
How he came as Jesus and told the people that he would return very soon. So from that time on, people have been expecting him in their own lifetimes, making funny statements about "the End is near!"

Slaughtering all those egyptian children? When there was "an outcry like no other" he must have had a real chuckle!
Oh wait, How about the book of Judges!
An angel drops by to rebuke the Israelites for being too tolerant of the religious beliefs of the people they have been massacring. He tells them that since they didn't complete their job (of killing everyone), God will not completely drive them out (like he promised to do). Instead he'll keep some of them around so that the Israelites will be ensnared by their false gods. Judges 2:1-3.
Sorry Israelites! A swing and a miss!

I think the sickest joke is Sodom and Gomarrah. He destroys two cities because of sexual crimes, all the men ,women and even the small babies who were probably too young to have sex.
Only Lot and his wife and two daughters are allowed to escape.
He turns Lot's wife into a pillar of salt and then allows Lot to have sex with his daughters. I think we call this incest these days.
Where's the justice in that?

Well, I like when a disasterous plane crash kills over 100 people and the the survival of the only one to make it out alive is hailed as "God's Miracle"

i won't call it funny but Jesus told Peter to walk on water and God told Abraham's wife she was going to bear a child in her old age and she did she thought it was funny because of her age

He (for that matter all gods and prophets) promised to follow certain conditions so taht he will grant permission to enter heaven after death.
Who knows where this heaven is? It must be the best prank of all.

I think God had to have a chuckle at the platypus.
