Did he do any other comedies?

All his comic parts I know of were in "Home Alone 1-2", "Lethal Weapon 2-4", "My Cousin Vinny" and "The Super". Is my list complete or did he do any more comedies?

8 Heads In a Duffel Bag. You should watch the movie just for his performance. The scene where he goes to sleep in the motel and has a nightmare about the severed heads he's carrying coming to life and singing is one of the funniest movie scenes of all time. Pesci should have gotten another Academy Award just for his performance in this scene alone.

He also did a movie with Danny Glover called Gone Fishin' but it's probably the weakest of his comedies.

I never really considered Lethal Weapon to be a comedy but then again I've only seen the first one.

The sequels are more comedic than the original, which incidentally is the only one Pesci is not in!

I see, well then I guess it’s for the best that I stay away from the sequels.

TO BE FAIR...PESCI HIMSELF IS MOST OF THE COMEDY IN THE SEQUELS.EXCEPT THE LAST ONE WITH CHRIS ROCK.THAT'S WHEN IT GETS WEIRD.
