The Humours of Ballykissangel.
Sorry if those around the world don't get it but folks from the UK and Ireland may remember the light hearted tv drama Ballykissangel. Set in Ireland, the show was about an english priest who fancied a barmaid. I remember parts of the show being unintentionally funny and parts that were meant to be funny which weren't.
<a href="http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/townshend/mp3/old original.mp3">Here</a> is my interpretation of this particular title. Played poorly on a dixon trad.
I can't think of any other titles that might be funny... can you? and why?

The Banshee's Wail over the Mangle Pit. (I think it's a jig.)
I like suggestive set names (though these are a mix of jigs and reels):
Woman of the House/The Drunken Landlady/Tripping Up the Stairs.
Pull the Knife and Stick it Again/Old Woman You Have Killed Me/The Hag with the Money.

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

"With Ourselves"
Not a particularly great tune IMHO, but fun to bring up in a session. "Hey, let's play..."
