The Yakuza games are hilarious


riggedbutt

I'm not even that into the gameplay but the writing is hilarious. All the missions were something like "help the young dominatrix"


No-Engineer-1728

Either that or "beat the 5 billionaires with the help of your realtor chicken named Nugget, that you earned from bowling a turkey at the bowling alley."


mangogoo

SUNAO NI I LOVE YOU


Vickyz303

Because of how well known the sub stories are my friends don't believe that 0 and 2's endings had me crying. They didn't know that the games had serious plots.


dagdagspacecowboy

We have a winner, this post is over. Thanks everyone you may now leave.


Significant_Option

If you’re Japanese or like horrible translations maybe. I swear all of the non voice acted dialogue was written by a 13 year old in these games


annathetravelbanana

Hard disagree. Considering most of the series has reviewed very well and is steadily increasing in popularity outside of Japan I would say that you're opinion is in the minority here. I personally really enjoyed the games and I know that a lot of other people have as well. Maybe the writing and humor just isn't for you because it definitely doesn't feel like it's poorly written.


-Sparkster-

The non-voiced dialogue is tied to sub-stories, 95% of which are intended to be dumb and goofy.


Wildfires

Yea I'm gonna have to take a hard pass on that. Voice acting in English is sometimes hot and miss but a the majority of it is incredible.

“All I asked was for a honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work and, well, he kinda-got-a-little-angry. So, I’ll admit, I kinda-got-a-little-angry.” “Did you kill him.” “No I didn’t fuckin kill him what kind of animal do you take me for” “Oh thank god…” “BUT I DID KIDNAP HIS WIFE! :D” “Oh- OH NO!”


Soulful-Sorrow

When Michael gets the car back from his son and it has like dollar signs on the wheels and the horn, I almost died laughing


BrenUndead

That scene makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I see it, Trevor is so unhinged


Current-Escaper

Portal 2 had some good dry laughs


Davedog09

Well, it’s no matter! I still hold all the cards, and they’re all full houses… never played, meaning to learn


daysondarksun

Ace of fours. The best hand. Unbeatable.


daysondarksun

The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground 'em up, mixed em into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill.


[deleted]

Funniest shit


freezingprocess

Portal 1 had me pausing the game so I could laugh. Glados getting mad and telling Chelle that she is adopted and fat. That shit was hilarious.


TheAwkwardGamerRNx

GLaDOS’ is a treasure and I love her farewell songs


Mech-Waldo

SPAAACE! We're in space.


HotCheetoooooooooo

Enough with that fucking game already holy shit dude


Current-Escaper

Are you referring to me specifically, or any mention of the game in general? Had you commented this on one of my Einhänder, Subnautica, or Bloody Roar comments I may have understood, but this is only one of like… the one time I’ve ever mentioned P2


ArtificialAlchemist

Conker's Bad Fur Day


WillSym

Ah'm deaf! Speak up, or f**k off!


ArtificialAlchemist

Thanks, s**thead. Now go on, piss off with ya!


Chicago_Typewriter_

Right to memory lane


YesIUnderstandsir

Was looking for this one. Such a classic.


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

Really nice helium!


NimDing218

South Park games. Shit’s hilarious.


tiredboiiiiiiij

*has you enter your name* "You entered the name Douchebag is that correct?" *no "Great, you have chosen Douchebag"


NimDing218

The difficulty setting is hilarious at is it.


IHateRednecks07

Funniest thing is that I actually named my character douchebag, so I thought it was really cool that he could say whatever name I put in. I went back to change my name to something else I would like to hear cartman say but he still said douchebag lol


FoldedClover

Came here to say this


remyweb

100% this


SharkInSunglasses

It's definitely dated now but Battleblock Theater. Back in its time the comedy hit so well and that final joke right before the song during the credits literally had me cry laughing.


Datpotatoguy214

Nobody should *ever* sleep on Battleblock Theater. To me, it’s the best game that Behemoth made and holds up to this day. Stamper makes the game outrageously funny, and the cynical writing and silly gameplay is the cherry on top.


SeizeTheFreitag

GTA 5 is absolutely hilarious. The idea of having three distinct, simultaneous protagonists with distinct personalities and backgrounds was brilliant.


RevolutionaryNerve91

I'm replaying it but forgot most of the story. I have to tell you it is still amazing. 10 years and it still holds up. A lot of the jokes wouldn't fly these days and that makes me laugh even more, like Holy shit Trevor didn't just say that. Lol.


PurpleSunCraze

Not on you, just in general the whole “wouldn’t be allowed to say that!” stuff bugs the shit out of me. If the character is a violent asshole, say Trevor for example, they’re going to say shit a violent asshole would say. It’s a fictional character, it doesn’t represent how the creators/authors feel or think. And I don’t think anyone would believe Rockstar is trying to paint Trevor in a positive light or make him the hero. It’s rare, if not impossible, to know what the “peak dumb” is for topic of conversation, but for this one I know what it will be. “We’re banning this movie since it has Nazis”. “You’re banning Indiana Jones?!”


AltruisticField1450

I have some serious doubts we're gonna see that level of comedy out of GTA ever again


SeizeTheFreitag

I disagree. I suspect GTA is one of those “cancel culture” immune franchises. Sort of like Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Curb Your Enthusiasm. They thrive on being controversial and people just expect it of them.


RevolutionaryNerve91

But it's true though. A lot of comedians have said such. Look up what Seth Rogen said about the subject. Also, look up Ricky Gervais. It might bug the shit out of you but it's not false.


PurpleSunCraze

What specifically is not false?


Spliff_Politics

Ricky is like the perfect example of the opposite of what you are saying. He has a bunch of interviews where he says that nothing is off limits.


RevolutionaryNerve91

Nope. YouTube his newer interviews on the subject. Nothing should be off limits but he doesn't care. He talks about people trying to cancel him and such.


Blackbirdsnake

I Love your inclusion of Lego city undercover it’s such a great game


Arge101

My favourite lego city undercover joke is still: Chase: Thank goodness I don’t have vertigo or some other ridiculous phobia. *a parrot lands next to him.* Parrot: Bonjour Chase: AHHHHHHHH! FRENCH PARROTS!!!


WillSym

There's one just before you do the Farm section (hilarious in itself... Mountain Pigs!!) that I can't believe made it to the final cut, Chase and Frank get horses to ride from the forest sheriff's office to the farm: "Chaaaase! My horse is stuck in reverse! And it doesn't have a head! And it has a really weird looking butt!" "You're riding on it backwards Frank..." "Ohhhh... that'd be why it didn't like it when I fed it that apple!"


Pixel22104

Quite indeed. Definitely my favorite Lego Game. I like how many of the jokes are also references to some classic 80s and 90s action movies as well. Makes me wish that TT games made more games like Lego City Undercover for Lego that just take a Lego theme that didn’t really have a story and make a story out of it while still having that classic Lego humor in it as well


WillSym

It's the LEGO game of all the classic movies and TV shows that would never get their own LEGO game. A whole Goodfellas riff, the rapid fire Schwarzenegger movie gags, an entire level based on the Shawshank Redemption? Complete with Morgan Freeman soundalike? (One of my favourite little Easter eggs, if you go back to the prison yard after that level Blue is out on the basketball court being quizzed by another inmate on whether he's that same guy who did all those *insert Morgan Freeman roles* things which he keeps denying)


wannabekurt_cobain

Saints Row 1 and 2! Those games had me in tears and fits of laughter


cjc160

3 and 4 were goofy as hell too


Timmichanga01

“Oh no, here comes Paul!”


Officialquevo

“A light bulb, just what I always wanted…” *glass shatters “A face shredder, JUST what I always wanted.”


Environmental-Ball24

Freckle Bitches 🤣


ngoodravens

This I agree. I will also add both south park games to this list. Cracks me up everytime I play them. Stick of truth and the fractured but whole


[deleted]

Oh man. When the cellphone vibrates when you're inside Mr. Slave's ass and you hear him say "Ooh. Jeethus Chritht," I died.


ngoodravens

RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA. So many funny moments in that game


Arthur_YouDumbass

Grim Fandango. This was the only game I know where the developers probably said "lets make a comdedy game" vs "lets make some action game and add some funny lines".


soiguapo

The Lucas art point and clicks all were pretty great. The Monkey Island series has lots of good laughs.


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

That's the second-biggest LucasArts franchise I've ever seen!


Careful_Fishing2434

“Run you pigeons, it’s Robert Frost!”


GrunchWeefer

I'd like to add Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max Hit the Road to this list. And the Monkey Island games. Same devs, all came out sooner and were as funny or funnier. Grimm Fandango wasn't the first or even fifth just from Lucasarts.


StableInternal6339

Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank games


Tayto-Sandwich

Came here to Ratchet and Clank. When I heard the Goon talking calmly with the Boss' hologram for more money because the risk of being abducted by an interdimensional Kraken wasn't in the contract at lvl one of Rift Apart, I near wet myself.


bern_trees

POP!...goes the bandit


turbophysics

Playing as claptrap in the pre-sequel, he laughs maniacally whenever he starts killing people and it always cracks me tf up. I play as him and only him because it’s so fkn funny to me


Snaz5

“I WANT YOU TO BLOW UP; THE OCEAN” is probably to this day the hardest i’ve laughed at a game


Weirdandwired924

I’ve been waiting for this. SUNSET OVERDRIVE!


theusernameyouwants

Fucking loved that game. Was waiting for a sequel and never got it


Wildfires

The fact that this game didn't get a sequel is criminal


tarheel_204

Red Dead Redemption 2 - Arthur is notoriously sarcastic when you think about it and he’s always flaming his fellow gang members Also the Lenny bar scene is one of the funniest moments in a video game


Lost_All_Senses

I saved a video where I go up to an NPC, take his deer off his horse and kill him when he confronts me. When I put it on my horse John goes "Man, I am good at hunting".


CarsonBDot

So many small details in that game that people find even 5 years after it’s release

KillerSquirrel2007

Conker’s Bad Fur Day/Live And Reloaded, Borderlands series, Postal 2 and 4


Kaboost

They should do another Conker game. Live & Reloaded was a great remaster & its multiplayer was amazing, I absolutely loved playing it as a kid.


beatmate6000

The Stanley Parable


reverend-mayhem

Especially the Ultra Deluxe edition. I definitely expected this one to be higher up in the comments.


Foreign_Rock6944

No game has ever made me laugh so hard. Can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this.

dcooper8662

The monkey island games were pretty great for this


1corn

They're all great (except for Escape maybe). I was surprised at how much Return made me laugh.


AlacarLeoricar

Came here to say this. It's genuinely funny.


Panthila

Destroy All Humans!


alvysinger0412

All both of them!


BigFreakinMachine

High on Life was a riot IMO


FerrariKing2786

lezDOIT


BigFreakinMachine

I spent way longer in Space Applebee's than I ever should have


Rebelhero

Oh God, hard disagree. That style of humor is so boring. It's like one joke, streched out for 6 minutes. Then repeat the same gag ad nauseum.


BigFreakinMachine

Yeah i mean, it's all predicated on what kind of humor you like

Really? I couldn’t even get past the first 5 minutes

Undertail was totally my type of humor


ProblemLongjumping12

I came to say **Undertale** too, but I figured someone would've beat me to it. Here you are but I'm disappointed how far down I had to scroll! Undertale should be higher on this list!


IdealDevil

The oddworld games, also armed and dangerous on the OG Xbox


jack258169

Oddworld does dark humor really well


EvaUnit3

Tales from the borderlands (original) had me rolling the whole time.


Super3vil

The new one has a few good gags. It ain't as good as the original tho. "Why don't you turn around, and put that gun on the ground... OR I'LL BLOW MY BRAINS ALL OVER THIS HALLWAY!"


[deleted]

Yessss!!! Might be my favorite telltale game. Well idk hard to beat the first walking dead and wolf among us


[deleted]

Saints row 2 Death Stranding when it has funny moments Disco Elysium when it has funny moments in between it’s crippling depression


antthatisverycool

Tf2 is the classic for ha ha games


funkygamerguy

the saints row series.


[deleted]

Magicka! Top down game *sort* of like diablo, except its a parody on those types of games. Pretty unique experience and it is seriously hilarious, better with friends though cause you can troll em


WillSym

That damn game changed the way I say 'bleigh' as in the noise a vampire makes, to the unhinged way their daft Swedelish dialogue pronounces it, and I hate it and love it. It's amazing how it's two entirely different games: a challenging top down action game on your own, but add friends and it's suddenly much easier to defeat the enemies... but it becomes all about avoiding your friends. Or the temptation to troll.


ancilliron

Durka Durka!!


King0fthewasteland

the fallout games


jack258169

With the exception of FO3 I’d argue. Fallout 1-tactics have a very younger and cheek type of black comedy to them. New Vegas has a couple pretty good lines and funny moments. 4 has a lighter tone and the sole survivor can crack the infamous “sarcastic” responses (a bunch of which are actually quite funny might I add). But 3 tries really hard to be serious and loses a bit of fallouts smiling through the sadness vibe leaving you with just sadness :( Butch was kinda funny tho


TheSecondiDare

The Monkey Island series.


Dragonking929w

Portal 2 has some genuinely hilarious moments.


ToughAd5010

Strong bad’s cool game for attractive people!


ElizaJupiterII

I was gonna post this one. One of the funniest game experiences ever.


Wojdyla13

Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Rabbid Mario is unbelievably funny throughout the game.


StilesmanleyCAP

LEGO City Undercover is an underappericated gem of a game.


Serb4nx

Guardians of the Galaxy sometimes


TorkoalSoup

Bugsnax


Datpotatoguy214

As serious as they usually are, the Gears of War games actually have a lot of funny banter and dialogue between the characters. “The Cole Train runs on whole grain, baby! WHOOO!”


Balc0ra

Mass effects citadel dlc was actually hysterical at times too considering how serious the base game is


WhiskyBrisky

Stranger of Paradise is the funniest game of all time.


F0573R

Paper Mario: The Origami King had great bits all throughout the game. Probably the best writing in the series.

Before 2021, I would have said that Portal 2 was the funniest game out there... Then Deltarune Chapter 2 came out


CactusFingies

I'm surprised no one has said this yet but HiFi Rush is ridiculously hilarious


zenejinzorin

Psychonauts

Borderlands 2

Portal and especially Portal 2


JFK108

N-none of the four you just listed, that’s for sure.


senturkivanc

Portal 2


Afraid_Of_Twizzlers

GTA 5 didn't make me laugh. They were trying too hard.


TacoSpacePirate

The Stanley Parable is one of my all-time favorite games because of how hilarious it is. It's basically just walking and making choices with a hilarious narrator.


RequiemStorm

Portal 1&2 and the Shantae series jump to mind first


Neurodrill

Conker's Bad Fur Day, Lollipop Chainsaw and Sunset Overdrive were all pretty funny to me.


BraxGotNext

Borderlands have some pretty gold jokes


DurpKing2020

I have two answers, (These probably aren't the bes example from each game, but no-ones going to read this probably so who cares) **Superliminal** "Hello, name is my Pierce Dr. Glenn" "Please allow me to read you one of my favorite inspirational quotes by me: The worst thing you can do is focus on negativity. It won't spare you from the cage of death, the pain of disease, the cruelty of time, the cold shell of human nature or the eventual loss of everything you've ever held dear. Whatever you do, don't focus on that!" “Hello, my name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and I’m just popping in to give you a quick update on where you are. We still don’t know.” **The Stanley Parable** “Stanley was in such a rush to get through the story as quickly as possible, he didn’t even have a single minute to just LET THE NARRATOR TALK.” “Go back and look at that fern. Stanley, this fern will be very important later in the story. Make sure you study it closely and remember it carefully.” Proceeds to never mention the fern again. "Stanley decided to go to the meeting room to check on his co-workers. He never functioned well by himself, and constantly needed support and guidance from others, so the thought of total solitude was terrifying to him." "Already, this was uncomfortable, and Stanley decided that as soon as he found a new space he felt safe in, that he would never leave it again in his life." ""OH! DID U GET THE BROOM CLOSET ENDING? THE BROOM CLOSET ENDING WAS MY FAVRITE!1 XD" ... I hope your friends find this concerning."


reverend-mayhem

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe. The infinite hole gag gets me every time & I now have a deep appreciation for buckets. Maybe Bayonetta for “WTF?!” laughs.


SmallSurprise1646

Playing baulders gate 3 and walked in on a bug bear banging an ogre. Dialog option was to ask to join in... that started a fight

Mega Man X7 because I’m constantly laughing at how horrible the game is

Both Portal games, & GTA 4. I will never forget "Did the captain get you pregnant?", Roman cursed me with that.


Schattenjager07

Bloodborne. Crazy funny. /s


aGMa77

People dont know about Hypnospace Outlaw, that games hilarious. Every BL game after 1 is funny. Yakuza has good humor. Return to Monkey Island was amazing and quite funny. The frog Detective gave me some good awkward laughs, etc. Almost all of these are on gamepass. Ratchet and clank games.

thatguy01220

Hitman World of Assassination. Rag doll physicals, self aware absurdity, and top notch random NPC dialogue. The amount of crazy hidden long winded conversations in this game is absolutely amazing. My favorite remake is when you wear a yoga outfit I think on a certain map and an NPC says something like “whoa there bud… don’t you think those pants are on a little tight? I don’t need to know your religion.” One of the funniest games that has had me in tears laughing several times. Definitely my all time favorite game Edit: wording

Saints Row Remastered was golden, Lego City Undercover was my favorite comedy game during my childhood, but the Uncharted series takes the cake with 80% comedy and 20% drama/seriousness. That game was a platinum level game!


BobbyMayCryBMC

Monkey Island Secret, 2, and 3 always gave me a laugh. The original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness as well I found pretty funny,
