Droles Paroles
To keep the ball rolling, and show that it's not just a spectator sport, NASTURTIUM has long been a giggler for me.

Let the games begin.

Pica pica. Mus musculus.
Mus mus. Mus mus.
They're names though so probably shouldn't count.
Oh, funny. The only really funny words I know are yiddish, and one of my favorites is "paskuniak." Loosely translated as a schmuck with evil intentions.
