Haha, I remember that too! I think they give you a tricked out Eclipse, and I remember worrying that I was getting too nice a car too soon, only to win the race and see I get a factory model car instead.
I find a lot of games funny, but many times it's a result of the user's actions.. GTA, Halo 2, and other online games are often funny as a result of the player's mistakes.
Just last night, I was playing Halo 2 and had a full Warthog of teammates, and I approached a bridge too fast, rode the ledge a bit, and fell off, all of us dying.. Another time I had the flag, jumped in a Warthog driven by a teammate, and an opposing player hopped onto the turret behind us. The entire ride he was trying to shoot down at us, but it didn't have the range to do so. I bailed with the flag, and my teammate drove the enemy off away from our base.
I think it is harder to make a game funny, but it's very easy for a game to be funny through its player's actions; especially if the game is very open ended and has a loose structure, like the GTA games.
