Funniest games you've played?

[CargoRoms]

Of the recent memories, Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer has made me laugh real hard.

The kind of self insert OC fantasy, I had back in elementary school. Lots of toilet humor mixed with rebel punk Y2K edgelord vibes.
Especially the Kamehameha section, which nearly killed me with laughter.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Have one of the best cutscenes I've seen, for example

 

[RetroLuvr]

I love the humor in the Mario & Luigi games

 

[ZombieFish]

I remember West of Loathing being pretty funny. A lot of it was borderline dad-jokes, but like, if your dad was cool and funny.

 

[Jediuser]

Portal 2 is probably at the top.

There's also The Stanley Parable, which had a similar dark sense of humor.

Some games can be Unintentionally funny, either via bad translation or full of engrish sentences, like in SNK fighting games(earlier Fatal Furys came to mind) winning quotes or the infamous Vietnamese Cristal.
In a more intentional sense I can name a few Point and click games, like Secret of the monkey island or Broken Sword, Especially funny when you try to do stupid things, like trying to drink toilet water.

Visual Novels don't always have the best reputation of translations, quality, being nothing but fan service, story, being a legit game or worth the money but I have some of the greatest screenshots out of context from them. Probably my favorite is the one where the main character is a stalker but fails at every turn at being one and just ends up being the butt of the joke.

But if you do want a legit funny VN that you aren't making fun of for any flaws then 428: Shibuya Scramble is one you VN you need to knock out on your bucket list.

Lucasarts games in general are pretty funny. Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, all have really funny writing.

Oh, on that topic, just about anything made by Tim Schafer. Brutal Legend and Psychonauts are masters of comedy.

Man, those are my most replayed games. And I usually don't replay games

 

[RustySK]

Overtly comedic games almost never land for me - it takes a balance of sincere and comedic in order for jokes to land, I think. Slayers X was great though!

Metal Wolf Chaos was absolute comedy gold in my eyes, for example - true presidential excellence.
As were a lot of sequences in the older Yakuza games (the newer ones tend to lean too hard into the comedy for it to work for me)
There's also this one completely non sequitur discussion about worker's rights in the beginning of Disco Elysium that ends with your walking wreck of a character angrily yelling at a little child over absolutely nothing that was just *chef's kiss* to me.

The PS2 Spider-Man 2 game. Literally everyone in that game is ragdolling 24/7 and combined with the goofy ass voice acting and absurd shit like pizza delivery missions and random alien invasions it all feels like a glorified shitpost, the living embodiment of "HOW DO I SHOT WEB"

Are you ready to go faster than light speed in a 90 degrees angle?

Slayers X is so good omg, Zanerocks is genuinely one of the funniest and simultaneously most tragic characters ever created

 

[OmegaPunch's icon OmegaPunch OmegaPunch]

The Mario & Luigi series and Disgaea.
I mean, Laharl in Disgaea: Afternoon Of Darkness literally calls one of the bosses "Mid".
And all the scenes with Luigi never cease to make me laugh.
Honorable Mention:
Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2005's story is one of those "So Bad It's Good" Type of stories.

 

[kuroninneko]

I really liked Incredible Crisis. It was weird and funny. Awsome graphics for PS1 also

 

[Gorse]

All the (good) Leisure Suite Larry games are funny, but Leisure Suit Larry 6 has a certain joke in it that had me crying my eyes out with how hilarious it was. Anyone who's played the game will immediately know what I'm talking about. (AAAAUGH!)

WTF: Work Time Fun also has an unlockable bonus video (the one with the noodle timer gadget) that quite literally made me roll on the floor laughing the first time I saw it. It's easily worth playing the game to experience.

 

[Orclease]

Blazing Dragons, Discworld 1 and 2, and Braindead 13 are a good laugh.

 

[Elwiwi]

AI the somnium files

 

[DeadVoivod]

Goat Simulator games, also P.A.I.N. on PS3.

And obviously a lot of adventure games.

 

[Clippy]

 

[Cu-Neo]

Tales of Vesperia

 

[pr0xy]

Hi-Fi Rush

 

[aorin1]

Quite a few I played with my brothers, such as Road Rash 16 and 32 bit, WWF Wrestlemania Arcade (SNES), Medal of Honor and Syphon Filter (2-player split-screen modes), and much more.

 

[Taukyrie]

The Mario & Luigi games and Disgaea are goldmines of comedy to me. So many lines from those live rent-free in my head.

Like I only played the demo of Disgaea 7 but "I'm ALLERGIC to empathy!" still lives rent free in my head.
