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)?

Hades 2 when I finally stumbled upon Dionysus. He’s wearing a leopard print speedo in it and his bulge is as subtle as a kick in the shin.I love that they gave him a massive bulge. Found him in a run last night.

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.

High on Life got one good laugh from me right at the start, where you're playing as Buck, and the tutorial guy is hyping you up and talking about how thats your ex wife's new boyfriend you gotta kill. After that I enjoyed it, but the humour never got a proper laugh out of me. Edit : no wait it did when you first get the knife.

There's a few other games that have made me laugh recently, but the only one where I felt that the humor was there to stay is Tactical Breach Wizards. > Jen: What the hell just happened? > Zan: I think you just met Liv Kennedy. > Jan: ... > Jan: ... > Jan: I didn't love it.

Fairly regularly with Helldivers 2. The mockery of fascism is too notch, the gameplay results in a lot of hilarious moments of disaster without being punishing, and those combined make for great interactions with other players.
