Quest books with dark comedy

A quest can be worth undertaking and still deserve some dreadful jokes. The people sent to do it may have reasons to doubt that the mission is noble, or even that they’ll survive it. Dark comedy gives them a way to talk about the trouble they’re in as they keep moving toward it.
