zany: absurdly ludicrous 

[Italian, zanni, a traditional masked clown]

    I love this definition…not just ludicrous but absurdly ludicrous.  I wish I could remember the joke that a very funny Mother in my practice just told me…it was more of an ironic, dry comment about her child's behavior…that was so funny that it made me bark out loud like a dog.  I laughed so hard with a single, uncontrollable whoop…it was absurdly ludicrous.
