The 10 Most Hilarious Video Games Ever Made

Video games can be more than intense battles or epic quests. Some are packed with humor that leaves you laughing out loud, whether through clever writing, absurd mechanics, or chaotic multiplayer moments. I’ve played countless games, and the ones that stand out for their comedy are those that surprise you with a perfectly timed joke or ridiculous situation. 

From sharp dialogue to outright bizarre gameplay, the funniest games stick with you long after you put the controller down. This list dives into ten titles that deliver laughs in unique ways, blending wit, absurdity, and charm. These games prove that humor can be just as powerful as any high-stakes adventure.

10. Worms Armageddon (1999)

This turn-based strategy game turns military tactics into a cartoonish riot. You control a team of worms armed with outrageous weapons like banana bombs and holy hand grenades, battling on wild 2D landscapes. The humor comes from the absurd arsenal and the worms’ cheeky taunts as they blow each other up. 

Whether you’re launching an explosive sheep or accidentally blasting your own team, the chaos is endlessly funny. The game’s charm lies in its blend of strategy and slapstick, making every match a mix of clever planning and ridiculous mishaps. Perfect for laughing with friends.

9. Conker’s Bad Fur Day (2001)

Conker, a drunken squirrel, stars in this Nintendo 64 gem that flips cute platformers on their head. Packed with crude humor and pop culture parodies, it follows Conker through a wild day of debauchery, from fighting a giant poop boss to dodging aliens. The writing is sharp and unapologetically silly.

Despite its edgy tone, the game’s colorful visuals and absurd scenarios keep things light. It’s a time capsule of late ‘90s humor, with references to movies like The Matrix (1999) that still land. If you love irreverent comedy, Conker delivers.

8. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (2004)

This action-platformer mixes goofy sci-fi with sharp wit. Ratchet, a lombax, and his robot pal Clank battle enemies with weapons like the Groovitron, which forces foes to dance mid-fight. The humor shines in cheeky dialogue and ridiculous gadgets, like Mr. Zurkon’s taunts about living on fear.

The game’s vibrant worlds and over-the-top villains add to the fun. It balances kid-friendly charm with adult-oriented puns, making it a blast for all ages. The series’ humor peaks here with its playful energy.

7. Jazzpunk (2014)

Jazzpunk is a first-person adventure that feels like a fever dream. You’re a spy in a retro-futuristic world, tackling bizarre missions like infiltrating a pizza parlor or debugging a virtual reality. The humor is surreal, with visual gags and wordplay that hit fast and hard.

Every scene is packed with oddities, from sentient vending machines to pigeons with secret agendas. It’s less about the story and more about the constant stream of absurd jokes. If you enjoy offbeat comedy, this is a must-play.

6. South Park: The Stick of Truth (2014)

This RPG captures the crude, chaotic humor of South Park (1997–present). You play a new kid in town, caught in a fantasy role-playing game that spirals into alien invasions and fart-based magic. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone ensured the game feels like an episode of the show.

The writing is as outrageous as you’d expect, with gags about everything from celebrity cameos to bodily functions. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but fans of the show will love its unfiltered comedy and faithful art style.

5. The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)

This classic point-and-click adventure follows wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood on a quest filled with witty dialogue and clever puzzles. The humor comes from Guybrush’s bumbling charm and the game’s knack for poking fun at pirate clichés, like sword fights settled with insults.

Its colorful characters, like the sarcastic Stan the salesman, keep the laughs coming. The game’s writing set a standard for adventure games, blending sharp wit with a lighthearted story. It’s a timeless comedy gem.

4. Psychonauts (2005)

Written by Monkey Island creator Tim Schafer, Psychonauts is a platformer set in a psychic summer camp. You play Raz, a kid exploring bizarre mindscapes, like a conspiracy-obsessed milkman’s suburb or a lungfish city. The humor is quirky and imaginative, with every level bursting with personality.

The game’s mix of heartfelt storytelling and absurd scenarios makes it stand out. Characters like the paranoid Boyd Cooper deliver lines that are both hilarious and oddly touching. It’s a cult classic for a reason.

3. Portal 2 (2011)

This puzzle game pairs mind-bending mechanics with razor-sharp writing. You navigate test chambers while GLaDOS, a snarky AI, mocks your every move. The addition of Wheatley, voiced by Stephen Merchant, brings bumbling charm that contrasts GLaDOS’s cold wit.

The humor lands through clever dialogue and absurd situations, like solving puzzles under GLaDOS’s passive-aggressive commentary. It’s accessible yet deep, making you laugh while you think. The voice acting elevates it to comedy gold.

2. What the Golf? (2019)

This golf parody throws rules out the window. Instead of hitting a ball, you might launch an office chair or even the golfer himself. Each level surprises with new, ridiculous twists, like golfing with a house or a car. The humor is in the sheer unpredictability.

It’s perfect for short bursts of play, with every hole delivering a fresh gag. The minimalist art and upbeat music amplify the absurdity. If you want a game that keeps you guessing and giggling, this is it.

1. The Stanley Parable (2013)

This first-person game is a masterclass in meta-humor. You play Stanley, an office worker guided by a narrator who gets increasingly frustrated when you defy his instructions. The game pokes fun at player choice, game design, and storytelling itself, with multiple endings that range from absurd to profound.

Every choice leads to new jokes, from the narrator’s sarcastic quips to bizarre scenarios like a broom closet obsession. It’s clever, self-aware, and endlessly replayable. For me, it’s the funniest game ever made.
