Saying this is the most famous-ever work of sci-fi comedy is not hyperbole. Here's what Google AI answers when asked for the most famous science fiction comedy of all time: "The undisputed king of comedy sci-fi is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Originally a 1978 BBC radio comedy, it was adapted into a "trilogy of five books" beginning with the titular 1979 novel. It follows the absurd adventures of the last surviving human, Arthur Dent, after Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass."
