I´m sad. Need games with epic humour and comedy - by Gambit

I didn't find Kabuto to be very funny, not that wife beating isn't funny, the jokes just felt weak, like a bad issue of Viz or something.
Now that I think of it I can't remember laughing in a game. I was too pissed off with Anachronox's combat system to actually play it.
I suppose Dungeon Keeper 2 was kind of funny.

Yay ! Great :D
Oh, and of course, Portal. I just love Glados dialogue.

Gambit - just MAKE SURE when you download it that you set your options to FULL download, or it simply starts working at the Insane Asylum.
Heh. The Insane Asylum. Linda, Boyd the Milkman, Fred Bonaparte, El 'Odio...good memories all. :laff:
Hell, I need to go play Psychonauts again.

I still think that the conversations, reactions, overheard mumbles, etc...make Thief-Deadly Shadows an absolute fucking laff-riot.
Also, R*'s: Manhunt, GTA 3, GTA-Vice City, and GTA-San Andreas. There are some extremely memorable lines in each one, and I'll go to my grave still playing them all.

Only thing I can really think of that hasn't been mentioned is postal 2 which I found to be a great laugh, if little else.
Other than that, I can +1 the original Sam and Max, Day of the tentacle, discworld, NOLF, Bloodlines (particularly as a malkavian) and now that I mention it, the malkavian mod for deus ex was brilliant but you could just look that up on youtube.

Anachronox is hilarity.
-"Is this safe?"
-"No-but this is how it's done in the comics."
-"I will kill you-with DEATH!"
-"This is about our future!"
-"Future, huh? Want to know the difference between you and the you five minutes ago? The you five minutes ago had five minutes to live!"
And there's a lot more where that came from!

MDK and MDK2 :cool:
Funny weapons (The World's Smallest Nuclear Explosion and The World's Most Interesting Bomb), a simplistic blow-up decoy that the enemies actually enjoy shooting more because of its knockback effect when being hit, and a janitor who actually doesn't want to be the only Coil Suit-equipped superhero that can Save The World. Oh, and they're fun as hell to play.
If all that wasn't enough, they're six bucks each at GOG, maybe even cheaper if you luck out and find a game disc at a thrift store.

The wizard/imp thingie in Sacrifice is extremely entertaining. Just one of the many reasons why it is one of the best games ever made.
Don't forget Bovine Intervention!

Anyone mention Star Control 2? It's got some genuinely funny dialogue, and it's free.
Well, at least you mentioned it before I did.
If any of you haven't played this game yet...well, you have no excuse. It's free. It runs even on really old computers without a hitch (even select handhelds). And most of all, it's just one of the best damn games ever made.
If you want hilarity out of the game, seek out the Spathi (head to Pluto as soon as you get the chance!), Zoq-Fot-Pik, the Slylandro (GLOWY BITS!), and maybe the Syreen (though they're mostly there for the sex appeal, and the humor reflects that). Other races can have their funny moments as well, but tend to be more serious.
Also, several people mentioned NOLF and its sequel. I haven't played either game yet (I know, shame on me, but I hope GOG gets both), but from the videos I've seen, they're genuinely hilarious. (Especially the Man-Handler scene. Anyone want some Manhattan-Style Man-Chowder?)

You didn't specify whether you meant singleplayer only so I'd like to suggest Team Fortress 2. It's just so silly and cartoonish that I can't help but laugh at the shenanigans that goes on in that game.
For sure. My favorites for comedy are the heavy (yyyyyaaaaaaAAAHH!) and the scout.
If anyone wants to play, hit me up. I frequent servers called Imperox and Noob-A-Thon.
