Funny Games

[Satori (original)]

Are there any games that can out-humour The Secret of Monkey Island?

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

No One Lives Forever was pretty funny.

 

[DraQ]

Anachronox.
It starts with 'U', duh.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

Oblivion is pretty laughable

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden.

 

[Panthera]

To answer the question, no, but Sam & Max: Hit the Road is pretty damn funny too.

 

[Seboss]

Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is moderately fun.

Do you mean on a game-to-game basis, or the whole series? Because Monkey Island wins hands down in the series department, despite Escape From Monkey Island dragging it down.

On a game-to-game basis, Day Of The Tentacle is a strong contender, as well as Psychonauts. Another game I've always considered funny is Sid & Al's Incredible Toons (later released as Incredible Toon Machine) for there you can make the funny stuff yourself.

But humour is subjective, so there's bound to be different opinions on the matter.

yeah I thought it was a p strange name for a documentary too, but then I'm not an artist

Giants: Citizen Kabuto can be pretty funny, though it's good old British humour that lesser beings might not understand.

NOLF's p.funny too.

 

[MetalCraze]

I second Anachronox
Also Discworld Noir (I imagine the other two Discworld adventures are funny too, haven't tried them yet but it's Terry fucking Pratchett - do I need to say more?)

Other LA adventures can be pretty funny too, but I take it you have played them already.

Discworld Noir

I enjoyed that game as a child however the puzzles were too obtuse for me, I shall give it another go however, maychance my adult brain can fathom it's wiles.

God Hand. Duh.

 

[Fat Dragon]

Armed and Dangerous

 

[Gnidrologist]

SNES classics.

Also Bard's tale remake if one can endure the absence of real gameplay.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

COW LAUNCHED

 

[Serus]

Nothing can beat first Monkey Island but some point and click adventures from the same era were funny too. Day of the Tentacle is one of the best.

 

[Quilty]

Grim Fandango, if it hasn't been mentioned yet. Definitely the original Sam and Max. Full Throttle in some parts as well.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Grim Fandango

To to throw it out there, but I never found Grim Fandango to be funny. At all.

I think it's a good game, marred only by a slightly dodgy control system, but otherwise a solid story with good characters.

[PrzeSzkoda]

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars and Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror. Very lulzy as far as I'm concerned.

 

[DraQ]

First MDK.

Wow, the music is a remix of an old chiptune, Hybrid Song. My retro music expertize finally pays off.
