I love a good comedy, and anything that makes me laugh, but I rarely find games that make me do so, the ones that try, usually end up being corny or take away fromĀ  the story . EX. when I play scarface, they try to fit funny elements into the game , same with the GTa's, but IĀ  have A hard time finding a "gangsta" funny ..I mean you go from gang shootings and mass murders ..to corny humor?????

I think true crime and GTA:SA did it best , how they had secret signs bashing each other, and how they had silly humor with the pedestrians . And people say that GTA is a "wanna BE" gangster game for 13 y/o suburban Ā boys . But I really think that GTA:SA, was kinda making "fun" of gangsta life and that 90's time period , and I found it quite hilarious , especially being around the "hood" seeing the not funny sides of things. Anyway..... Are there any games that are really hilarious ,and does not take away from the story???Ā name some...Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  SUCH AS- GTA:SA,TRUE CRIME,TONY Hawk gamesĀ  ,ODDWORLD ....... Are any games that try to be funny ,but just turn out to be corny.? SUCH AS-Ā  GTAIII ,scarface,crimson skies,GTA VC.....certain mini games

The Lego Star Wars games have some chuckle-inducing moments for fans, but you have to be really into Star Wars to get a lot of them.

Games that are funny, but don't detract from the game's story:
The Monkey Island quadrilogy, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max: Hit the Road, Sam and Max Season 1 (the episodes - Episode 4 is the funniest game I've played in many years), Grim Fandango, Fallout 1 + 2, others.

Games that are unintentionally funny:

Oblivion (I often laugh at the broken AI and physics), Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon (hilarious mistranslations), Killer7 (brilliant game, but I found myself laughing a lot...mainly because I had no idea what was happening half of the time), others.

Games that try to be funny, but usualy aren't:
Psychonauts (I have great respect for Tim Schafer, and the game was funny in parts, but some sections were painfully unfunny - the Sheegor/ Mr. Pokeylope bit made me want to severely damage my eardrums with a rusty screwdriver), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (the Prince's whining were partially amusing in The Sands of Time...but they weren't here. Oh, and the 'blooper reel' absolutely killed the series - after watching it, I now never want to play anything associated with the Prince), Viewtiful Joe (good game...but they should have kept the dialogue to a minimum).

Metal Slug Series is quite funny through the gameplay. Fallout 1 and 2 had great dark humor in it. Even Starcraft had inside humor within it. I think Dawn of War, too..

Oh yeah... like earlier today when I took a swing at the Adoring Fan from the Arena with my Sword of the Crusader and his flaming carcass flew like 10 feet in the air.. it was hilarious. :lol:

Not to mention the "Radiant AI"... some of their conversations are just so ridiculous and awkard-sounding sometimes it's just funny.

Bully is a hilarious game in a good way because the dialogue is well written and every voice actor does a fantastic job.

Saints Row is a game that tries so hard to be funny that it's painful. How many times must someone cuss just for the sake of cussing? in other words...Saints Row fails horribly at attempting humor.

I totally agree with you about BULLY, it was a great game,I bought it, even though I didn't have a ps2, and borrowed my cousins ps2 for 3 weeks so I could beat it ...and if it every came to 360 I would absolutely Ā re-buy it ....but as for saints row...I've never played it..but understand

Your opinion turns out to be the exact opposite of mine.Ā  I thought GTA III was witty and had some borderline funny moments, and Vice City completely nailed it in turns of making fun of the 80's and other comedic elements in the game (the talk radio station had me busting a gut laughing), while with San Andreas, I thought Rockstar started taking the game and themselves way too seriously and, as a result, SA came off as too self-important to me.

Others:Ā  I thought Simpsons Hit & Run was pretty funny, HK-47 was priceless in KOTOR, Lego Star Wars was great, and Sid Meier's Pirates had alot of good comedy as well.

I thought the Family Guy game was funny. There's alot of references to the episodes so you probably wouldn't find it that funny if you aren't a regular watcher of the series.

GTA:LCS is hilarious. There was a scene with Maria arguing with her...client, the mob boss, and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen in a videogame.

All GTA's are very funny, Timesplitters is great with comedy too.

The voice overs had me crying, especially on the PSX version, when you play as crime and you meet that girl a room and she accidently sprays you with something and she apologizes says "Oh, OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO". It was tooooooo dramatic :lol:

Well, everyone's already mentioned Psychonauts, but I'll say it again, as it deserves mentioning. PSYCHONAUTS! Also, there's Stubbs the Zombie, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Rayman: Raving Rabbids, Destroy All Humans, Phoenix Wright, and Disgaea, all of which are hilarious. And, though it doesn't get much credit for it, Gunstar Heroes is pretty funny too. Little weird things that inject bits of humor into the game. For example, when you go up against the last of the grunts in the game it does the whole boss sequence, listing the boss as "Final Great Soldier" with it's one attack: "Love Love Dancing".

Raving Rabbids had its hilarious moments.

"Bunnies only fly downwards" had me and my friend laughing real hard.

i also found MGS 2 and 3 really funny. i love that Hideo Kojima has a good sense of humour about his games. nothing is worse than taking a form of entertainment TOO seriously.
