The first few weeks playing Team Fortress 2 gave me some good laughs. Hearing different lines from your character (or from players around you) at random events was pretty great.

"You want a second opinion? You are also ugly...!"

Also Conker's Bad Fur Day when I played it back in 2002 or somewhat. That thick layer of Britishness in the game really helped.

I haven't really got too far into Trails in the Sky as of yet but Estelle is probably one of the most amusing protagonists I've encountered. I love her dialogue

I don't see any shortage of funny games.

In the last 2 years, I've played/replayed Conker's Bad Fur Day, South Park, Earthbound, the Lunar games, GTA V, and Red Dead Redemption and they were all hilarious and made me laugh all the time.

What really impresses me about Conker and South Park is how consistently funny they are. A movie just makes you laugh for 90 minutes. Conker makes you laugh for 10+ hours.

I also played Nier and Lost Odyssey and the banter in those games were really funny a lot of the time as well. Banjo Kazooie was funny. About half of FF9 was funny. Almost every game I seem to play lately is really funny.

A lot of older Rare games have that British wit to them. Going back to Cranky from Donkey Kong Country, the mission briefings and messages from Moneypenny in Goldeneye to the dialogue in Banjo Kazooie. Even Nuts and Bolts had some great humour in it.

Every point and click adventure from Lucas Arts was like that, and so where some of the Sierra point and clicks too like Roger Wilco.

Chiming in with Undertale as well, since it made me laugh longer and harder than anything I've ever played. I feel that a lot of its effectiveness comes from the way it integrates humor with actual gameplay and subverting player expectations.

I haven't played the game yet. But Previously Recorded's play through had me laughing with Jack and Rich Evans amazing voice overs for the character dialogue.

The Ace Attorney games are very funny and the humour is part of their charm. AA3's second and third case were especially hilarious.

I reckon QWOP is the single, most hilarious game I have ever played. I have never laughed so hard at a game before or since.

Well yeah, if you're comparing comedy writing in games to the best professional comedy writing, you're not going to have a lot of good comparisons. Same goes for books and movies, any medium really.

I think one problem with judging games humor is that a lot of it is coming from an Internet-meme kind of level, sometimes pretty amusing, but could also be seen as the death of comedy to some, ha. I definitely think the repetitive lowbrow nature of internet comedy is becoming ever-present because it's got merit, but it's like comedy junk food.

Lego City Undercover was so damn funny. It was super dumb humour, like a Starsky and Hutch parody called Studski and Clutch, but it was so charmingly done.

If you have some knowledge of Otaku culture, Steins;Gate has a lot of funny references.

The opening scene (talking to the screen) made me laugh.

Borderlands 2 is flat out hilarious. The writing is excellent.

Man, I always love that moment when GAFfers out themselves as small rodents. Or flies.

I guess that would explain OT's fear of spiders. Holy shit.

Undertale is probably the first legitimately funny game I've played since Fallout NV: Old World Blues. I totally agree it's hard to pull off. Games like Borderlands make me cringe so hard. "Gamer" humor always feels super pandering and over the top. I think the key is timing-as always in comedy- and respecting your audience.

The dialogue in Fallout New Vegas is real good at this.
