It depends on what you count as a comedy and which plays you count as Shakespeare's. In the First Folio there were 14 plays which were identified as comedies. Soon after it was decided that Troilus and Cressida was misfiled and should have been a comedy and that Pericles was also added. This made 16 comedies. If you add The Two Noble Kinsmen it makes 17. If you say that The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and Pericles are Romances and not comedies this brings it back down to 13.

I wouldn't say comedy play really. But most of his best works do have a lot of satirical scenes...like Hamlet's exchanges with ROzencrantz/Guildenstern or the strange dialogue between him and the gravedigger.....IN Macbeth I don't there is too much....but in Romeo and Juliet as well as midsummer nights dream, there is various employment of sexual (or other) puns distributed throughout the lines.
