When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

Yesterday I played the demo of the new game Dispatch and it is all beautifully written, but at some point, while presenting the team in-game, there was a casual funny line, pronounced by a voice off-screen, so without graphical support and I just burst out laughing (I was alone at home, so not pressed by social influence of any kind). When I stopped, I realized how uncommon this has become lately. As a kid, I found LucasArts games extremely funny and I laughed more than occasionally, but this aspect of video game entertainment has been dying out. When was the last time you actually laughed out loud while playing a game for something that was actually designed as funny (no Fortnite or CoD shenanigans stories please)?I run a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights and this week was the annual Halloween event. After closing the evil portal I introduced the players to 'Gertie', basically a character I made that's an amalgamation of all the weird grandmas you all met when trick-or-treating as kids (using the game's Sea Hag model), and she asked each adventurer: "Now what are YOU supposed to be, little boy/girl?" and made one of them kiss her on the cheek because he was "so adorable". And then she gave them bags of candy. That turned out pretty funny with how the various party members reacted and played along with the gag.

He’s wearing a leopard print speedo in it and his bulge is as subtle as a kick in the shin.

There's this quest where a corpse is hanging from a tree and asks you to deal with some creatures that come at night and do the sexy things where he can see them. Or two drunk guys in a tavern debating if a broken sword that has been reforged and it's hilt replaced time and time again would still be the same sword. Or there is this undead crypt keeper, really happy to meet you.

The South Park games got a few laughs out of me. Borderlands games have a few good gags sprinkled throughout.

It also hit the absolutely right spot for me being a ::: spoiler spoiler father myself :::. * **Indiana Jones and the Great Circle** is fun like watching an Indy movie (until you realize you watch the movie in real time and it is really long)...

I don't want to spoil it, especially because reading or watching videos is not the same as interacting with the game, but the narrator reacts to what you do, even if you try to do something absurd there's a good chance that it has a special reaction for that. South Park games also are very funny, the first one (Stick of Truth) especially. But it is a very dark humor, e.g. the difficulty slider also changes your skin color.

This makes me wonder what the first time was. Pong and Yar’s Revenge weren’t really comedy material. Maybe The Quest for c64, where we got annoyed at the game always saying “gorn doesn’t want to go that way”

The ironic 'we own you' or 'casually dismissing how unimportant you are' messages in satisfactory get a chuckle. Boneraiser minions is humorous as well, as the minions range from 'normal skeleton' to 'pumpkin headed horrors' and are definitely designed around silliness. Ship of fools has the multiplayer shenanigans, but ALSO some really funny, dry humored lines about the state of your boat/character. All the cat quest games... if you're not rolling your eyes at all the cat puns, there's something wrong with you. Ooooohh, I almost forgot! Another multiplayer one, but entirely designed around laughing as you put a bomb in front of your friend's favorite path to the goal: ultimate chicken horse.
