this is definitely cheesy, but i've always loved Friendship from Anything Goes.
Diva's Lament, simply because Sara Ramirez was a brilliant comedic singer.
When I saw The Drowsy Chaperone, "Show Off" had me cracking up.
And as for Avenue Q....its fairly hard to pick just one from that musical. But if I had to pick one I'd say "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada," lol. Any gay boy would remember the days before he came out and some of the times he'd come up with ridiculous excuses as to why he doesn't have/no one has met his girlfriend. haha.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

"The Internet Is For Porn" has always elicited huge responses from crowds. Definitely a favorite of mine.
Also, though it's far from the 'funniest,' I adore "Getting Married Today."

"It Sucks To Be Me" from Avenue Q is hysterical, but I agree that most of the songs are.
"Love Is My Legs" from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels..I was dying during that song.
"Keep It Gay" from The Producers..it always makes me giggle
"Muqin" from Thoroughly Modern Millie..the subtitles crack me up
