EDIT: About Psychonauts, fett's a 100% correct - going through the game by just playing it safe 'n quick is a good way to miss a lot of the humour. Simply put: try
everything. On everyone.
Kreuler: So, you ready to help out?
Raz: No
Kreuler: *SMACK!* How 'bout now?
Secret Agent Guy: I am a waste management worker. I often smell of excrement, but I provide a valuable public service, and therefore deserve your respect.

Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus.
Short-tempered gamers should stay the hell away from Oddysee and try Exoddus instead.

That one's more frustrating than funny.

Too many things that are purported to be funny often come across as quite the opposite because the reader/viewer can sense that whoever wrote it thinks it's
damned funny and therefore so should you(see: Robot Chicken, Argyle Sweater, Penny Arcade, etc).
Psychonauts, on the other hand, feels as though it's not even really trying to be funny. It rarely laughs at its own jokes, and it never condescends to its audience, counting instead on the player to catch and appreciate the jokes. And it's this subtlety that results in a humour much richer than most games -- it's like the difference between the great era of the Simpsons and the newest episodes.

Eh....isn't there somewhere he can just watch the highlights of psychonauts?
Funny or not, the game was only fun when you were watching it instead of playing it.

Robot Chicken
I saw
one episode of Robot Chicken and nearly pissed myself laughing. Theory invalidated.
... then again steven tyler throwing up in a space suit is ALWAYS funny
