No One Lives Forever:

-You look like you need a monkey!
°Excuse me?
-I have a very fine monkey for you... only twenty dollars, American!
°Sorry, I don't want a monkey.
-What do you mean?
°I don't want a monkey!
-Why not?!
°BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE MONKEYS! NOW GET THAT FILTHY BEAST AWAY FROM ME!
-ARE YOU INSULTING MY MONKEY?!
°I am sure it's a perfectly excellent monkey, but I don't want it! Now please leave, I am very busy!
-Ten dollars.
°NO! I wouldn't want the dreadful thing, even if it was free!
-Free?! You want my children to starve?!
°If they're hungry, I suggest you feed them the monkey!
-This is a valueable monkey! My wife would kill me if she knew I was offering it to you so cheap!
°YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND! I DON'T WANT A MONKEY!!
-Infidel.

So good. The writing was great in both of them, but the first seemed stronger to me.

The exploding goat one was even funnier.
 
The cow in the first Diablo and the responses you got for clicking it and later the Cow level in Diablo II, the mooing still made me laugh sometimes after playing it for the 574451544153464th time...

It's really something so random that its hard not to laugh atleast the first time you hear it. The general humor in the game I thought was pretty good (Pop's instructions were good), but that part just stood out.
 
Although the games I all listed are very consistently funny the game I've gotten the biggest laugh out of was the Baldur's Gate 2 expansion. Part way through you come across a wizard who has some doodad you need. Before he'll give it to you he demands you go get him the eyestalk of a beholder. You being near godlike in power by this point tell him that it’s flat out ridiculous to expect people of your stature to do such redundant tasks and storm out.

Outside his cave are a bunch of statues of people, if you use a stone to flesh spell on them it turns out they are actually low level adventurers who were turned to stone by the wizard. You can then give them the quest to get the eyestalk with a whopping reward of 100 gold (you have around 200,000 by this point) of which they are most excited to get. This is where it gets funny, the screen fades to black, some time passes and then the low level group comes back and stops near you. They start talking amongst themselves saying that surely since your group is so powerful you must have some amazing items and they agree to kill you to get your stuff. They attack, and in a cutscene your character turns into the slayer (a demonic form of pure badassery) and destroys their entire party. The screen goes dark with game over, the mouse automatically clicks on load game and it is back to the low level group, this time they come up with a new plan, one involving their mighty magic missile wand. They attack again, and again you butcher them, once again it loads and finally they meekly walk up, give you the eyestalk and you can either pay them or refuse for dumbassery.

That was long winded, and probably didn't come out right, but it was freaking hilarious in the game.
 
Team fortress Classic , one of the funniest games i have ever played


Counter-strike had some hilarious moments too

oh yeah Battlefield1942 ahahahaha that is actually the most hilarious, i almost died laughing, one of the craziest games ever that will change your life
 
recently Steambot Chronicles has gotten me to laugh a few times.

this is mainly due to the fact that sometimes the choices they give you are vauge, so whatever happens to come out of Vanilla's mouth when you choose them can be quite amusing
 
Final Fight: Street Wise...

This guy...is just comedy gold. :lol WEASAL FTW!

I gotta admit, I was horrified with the game when I first got it...but im glad I stuck with it. The plot is so bloody stupid. Think Fight Club...but shitter. YOU are Kyle Travers, and you fight…in the street..and pits! YEAH! Your brother is Cody, the once legendary fighter in Metro City, who longs for the days of beating the crap out of punks, but isn’t as young as he used to be, so is putting all his energy into living fights through his brother! His knees apparently arnt what they used to be...:lol

Shove in the game pot radioactive junky mutants, porno theatres, hookers, fat cockney hookers, stumbling and sleeping tramps, cockroaches, an armoured forklift truck, a drug lord priest who brings forth the new age Horseman of the Apocalypse (I KNOW WTF!)…mix it about with a bunch of pointless and awful mini games, add some SHITE music from random rap artists and Slip Knot and some fleeting references to Capcom’s classic…and funny as hell stupid moments like the above...GOTY...laughs wise :D
 
It's not a very graphically-rich game or anything, but the You Don't Know Jack series is always good for a cheap laugh. I used to play that game with liquor involved, which only makes it funnier. :lol
 
shenmue 2 when you're moving boxes with that idiot dulin haha

"HERE! LEFT LEFT LEFT RIGHT" "GOOD" "READY OK!" "HERE!" ..............

QFT. I don't think I've ever laughed more with any other game then I did with the Monkey Island series. Probably a big part of why even the ancient editions of the series have held up so well, because they are so friggin funny.

End of thread. In its heyday, Lucas Arts was not only the funniest source of interactive entertainment around, it also rivaled just about any other form of entertainment for pure humor. It is really a terrible shame that LA refuses to release new comedic adventure games or even sell/rerelease most of their classics. I still haven't played Grim Fandango or Sam and Max... sigh. Anyway, the only recent games that come to mind are Tales of Symphonia (Zelos) and Phoenix Wright.

Play Psychonauts if you want some of that old Lucasarts style humor.

I was all ready to link the Lucasarts Store, but it looks like they've stopped selling just about everything that made their company so incredible. Must've happened recently, too, as I was considering buying something only a few months ago.

2 questions. Is he just one of those villains that runs around like that because he's scared to fight you? And is that actually the real music for the game?
Click to expand...

Yup and Yup. >_<

If you thought that music was good...or bad...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxCay1j5QCI :lol

You meet him a few times while you are playing, usually ending with some sort of door, and his head. :D Easily one of the best characters in the whole of the game. >_<

They even had a real awful looking Hugo and Cammy in the game. I was meant to capture more Weasal, and other stuff...but im not ready to go back to the game for a long time...Im sure it would eventually lead to mental health problems.
 
NBA Jam. You haven't lived until you've goaltended a shot from Muggsy Bogues with Shaq from the free throw line.
 
I thought I would be the first to mention Psychonauts. I just finished the game, and it has some of the funniest lines in recent memory.
 
Man, the Malk's conversation trees were so good in Bloodlines. It really made playing as the other clans less fun. Shame the game runs like such shit on my PC. I wouldn't have minded that ported to the 360.
 
Sakura Taisen 3. The characters are just completely insane at times, though the highlight would be Erica's good morning maraca dance in a mix of Japanese and French, with Ogami staring back at her with this WTF? expression. Funniest moment I've ever seen in a videogame.

I remember that. Funny stuff. There was also that really apathetic Beholder, if you recall.
I think all of the Black Isle games had a good share of funny moments. God bless 'em.

Also, has Metal Arms: Glitch in the system been mentioned yet? Amusing little game.

That pig-shaped bush frightens and confuses me.

Also, didn't Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, make a crack about how he was licensed for five games or something?

I find it funny that so many people have played this game. The game was, overall, pretty bad. But pretty much if I say "Want some rye?" to anyone I know who plays games, they always respond "COURSE YA DO!".
 
Psychonauts
Grim Fandango
The Curse of Monkey Island
Earthbound
Paper Mario 2

I typically don't laugh at games, but those ones gave me a few chuckles.
 
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
Wario Ware (always gives me a chuckle the first time I see some of those minigames)
Earthbound
Space Quest (entire series)
Monkey Island (entire series)
Sam and Max Hit the Road
Day of the Tentacle
 
Raz: What kind of obstacle course is this? That kid just got killed!
Coach Oleander: He isn't dead, his astral projection just got kicked out of my mind. And I'll kick your asstral projection out of my mind too if you don't get moving!
 
Psychonauts
Mother 2
Space Quest
GTA:SA
Mario and Luigi (the first one, Fawful stole so many scenes)

Man I know there've been more games but I'm drawing a blank.
