The most beautiful "humorous" opening trap for me is this one (the game is played by correspondence Chess, but unfortunately, i don't remember the Players...but it's real!!) :
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6
After this move, the player with the black pieces say: on any move played by White, i would continue by 3...,Bg7.
Do you find the move for White ?
That's the problem with premoves.

: ) i like black's bishop so peaceful and would not capture his brother bishop right away :D
i did not get the joke btw!
Cool.
This is nice little trick for black when white decides to go into a four knights game..
Not really a trap but a really exciting way to attack the solid alekhine defense. It is called the Krejcik variation.
That Krejcik Crazy Opening can be very tricky if Black doesn't know what to do. I have over a dozen wins with it in casual play. Here is a quickie.

AFAIK Many say that this variant gives a small advantage to black
And this one, very little known, and even a mistake on some opening books (eg: on Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition!)
Xiko,
In the right hands, this variation may be good for Black. There are several FIDE masters and 2300+ players who play it and win. Here is a typical game.

There are many good traps in the budapest
The Budapest is always good for a trap or two. Here is one of my early Budapest games from tournament play. In the game 6.h3?? is the losing move. Best may be 6.e3 or 6.Nc3. After 6...Nxf2 and threatening 7...Nxh1, what else does White have besides 8.Kxf2? If 6.Qa4+, then 6...Bd7.
surprised he played Kxf2 at a championship match, you would think he would have seen the trap by then. Nice trap by the way.
