I like Robert Sheckley’s Zirn Left Unguarded, the Jenglik Palace in Flames, Jon Westerly Dead.
Of the SF movies I’ve seen, the oddest title was The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension.
Can we say odd instead of funny?
“Buddy Holly Is Alive and Well on Ganymede” certainly grabs your attention. Bradley Denton has a way with titles. A very fine short story of his is called “The Calvin Coolidge Home For Retired Comedians.”
It may be apocryphal, but I recall reading of a Vonnegut title called “The Big Space Fuck.”
Sir
Not aprocryphal. It’s from Harlan Ellison’s AGAIN, DANGEROUS VISIONS.
My favorite (and I wish I’d bought the book, since I can’t remember the author) is “The Platypus of Doom”
I’m pretty sure it’s Arthur Bryan Cover. I’m almost positive it is. And it’s The Platypus of Doom and Other Nihilists
Fenris
A title that always made me smile was “Charles Fort Never Mentioned Wombats.”
Would Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama qualify?

- Years back I saw a listing in the B-movie section of a video catalog for a movie titled “Cannibal Grannies”. Anybody seen it? - MC

Childhood’s End, by Arthur C. Clarke.
The title just screams pedophilia. 
The Zork Chronicles by George Alec Effinger. Hard to find, but well worth the effort. Sort of a Campbell themed satire of all things SF, fantasy, and mythical.
Also, The Crown Jewels and the other Mysjistal books from Walter Jon Willams, unusual in humor SF in that it’s not a satire . . .

“By Thragg’s bloody sheep!”
“Who’s Afraid of Beowulf.” -Tom Holt.
Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb.
(It’s not really a sci-fi book, but a mystery set at a sci-fi convention, but the title makes me giggle.)
I was gonna suggest Bimbos, Greeny. ^^ It IS a hillarious title, and kind of fits, since it’e the title of 'Jay Omega’s (serious) SF novel in the book. ^^
I can think of some funny/suggestive titles:
The Galactic Pot Healer – PKDick
Friends Come in Boxes – Coney
The World Inside – Silverberg
I know I’ve said this before…
Spaceballs
It’s short, sweet, and just rolls off the tongue so well. After many years of saying it, it just sounds goofier and goofier. And when you take into account the content behind the title… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
For cheesey grade D sci-fi movies:
“Hercules Meets The Moonmen”
or:
“Santa Claus Versus The Martians”
Pretty hard to beat those.
“What Entropy Means to Me” by George Alec Effinger
“Up Schist Creek” by Piers Anthony
“Sign at the End of the Universe” by Duane Ackerson
“The Ultimate One-Word First-Contact Story” by Ian Watson
“A Typical Terran’s Thought When Spoken to by an Alien from the Planet Quarn in its Native Language” by Derrel Mallet and Forrest J. Ackerman
“Why Booth Didn’t Kill Lincoln” by Edward Wellen (the shortest story ever).
“How Much For Just the Planet” by John M. Ford
Are you sure that the Wellen story is the shortest? (Isn’t the whole story “He did.”?)
Wouldn’t Forrest’s Ackerman’s “Cosmic Report Card: Earth” be the shortest, the whole story being:
F
?
Or am I misremembering the story in question?
