After getting through nearly 50 novels in the Doctor Who New Adventures series in the past couple of years, I can categorically state that the best gag is in the non-aggression pact between the People and the Time Lords that is printed in The Also People by Ben Aaronovitch, where they definitely declare that they will not mess with each other in any way - with the single exception of the Doctor, and the People are allowed to do whatever they want with him, including and not limited to execution, and the Time Lords are cool with that.
These books did get very grim sometimes, with the Doctor's companions often tortured and hurt, but there are still some laughs on the far side of the next galaxy.
