best humor in video games

I was certain that noone would mention the game I want to talk about because it sadly came and went without knowing much success, but Divinity 2: Director's Cut is a good RPG with tons of content and it has some truly great humorous writing. It's made by Larian, of Divinity: Original Sin fame and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well-written and funny RPG.
 
I really thought the humor of that game to be really cringe worthy.

A few people mentioned scenes in Witcher 3 which is great but none mentioned this one. Minor midgame spoilers of drunken Witcher shenanigans.
 
The Stick of Truth was is one of the funniest things I have ever played/seen/heard.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Sunset Overdrive, tries so hard to be funny but ended up being painfully unfunny. Great game tho.
 
Broken Sword 1 and 2 are the funniest games I've ever played, even though they were advertised as thrillers with a dark tone. George Stobbart was an absolute goldmine of hilarious one-liners and observations.

Other games that made me laugh a lot...

Grand Theft Auto V (this game actually works best when it's a straight-up comedy)
Grim Fandango
The Monkey Island games
The Uncharted games
Bishi Bashi Special
Parappa the Rapper
Puppeteer
Portal 2
DmC: Devil May Cry
Enslaved
Bravely Default and Tales of Hearts R have plenty of funny character skits.
 
Tales from the Borderlands is hilarious (I think so, anyway)
...also Paper Mario (both original and TTYD), Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
...and the classic LucasArts adventure games.
Some bits of Red Alert 3 were surprisingly funny, as well.
