Not since spectacular spidey have i seen a remarkably funny version of spiderman in wisecracking, maybe they've given up on him since they use Deadpool as they're joke gold mine and thusly making him much easier to have better jokes?

Brian Michael Bendis's Ultimate Spider-Man captured this part of the character really well.
Funny you mention Deadpool, cause I actually think the Spider-Man/Deadpool comic he's really funny and witty with his banter in that.
There is no genuine witty left in Peter 616 ... It was a great balance to life throwing stuff at him folks you could relate to ..
Life kicks him when he's down ... He goes and pounds some guys ass in a back alley while tossing out of witty one liners ...
They've kind of gone above and beyond in grinding him down or elevating him into the stratosphere ...
At this point ... his witty one liners are going to sound like Roberto from Futurama (Hiyaaa...)
It almost does fit anymore - but I miss it :/

Spider-Man written by Dan Slott is funny all the times to me.
The witty banter is well writen by Slott imo.
Oh, yeah, great scene. His "I fell in love with a crazy person" monologue in the theirs annual was also a riot.
I haven't had that experience. In fact, one thing I do not like of Slott is how stiff and clunky his writing can get. (Even the Renew Your Vows miniseries -- the one think of his that I love and think has really good character work -- isn't exactly really subtle and tends to go for '80s TMNT levels of writing sometimes). But if you think differently, fair enough.

Spider-Men. It's been a while since I've found ASM to have any witty banter personally.
Laughed at Slott's at times. Last of which, Superior Spider-Man.
Most recent, Christopher Yost and the Superior Spider-Man. Yost writes the character the best.
JMS Spidey was frequently funny.
Bendis' Ultimate Peter was a bantsmaster all the way to the end. Miles was a pretty good substitute, but never reached the heights of Ult Peter's interactions with Ock, Kingpin and the like.
I don't mind Slott's Peter at all, but the banter is not as good as it should be.
Spider-Man/Deadpool is a bit inconsistent due to the shifts in writing, but there's a fair bit of banter to be found. I don't know much about Zdarsky, but I would expect his upcoming PP:SSM to have some jokes.
Dan Slott, Ultimate Spider-Man, Plenty of JMS. The 1980s and before that. Want to get really stupid and goofy with Spider-Man? Well, Ultimate Spider-Man, the animated series of 1967 and 1981, and the made for TV "Amazing Spider-Man" movies are up there in terms of Peter Parker being a goof. Actually, just about all the live action Spider-Men have had some quips to them, come to think of it.
I feel when Joe Kelly is actually writing the title Peter is witty in Spider-Man/Deadpool.
Current Pull: Amazing Spider-Man and Domino
Bunn for Deadpool's Main Book!
