Our next Top10 is about those games that make you laugh, or at least, put a shy smile on your face now and then. Since this is going to be a blog about things that make you laugh, why don't you take a look at this video? It's a short (only 1:26) piece of a stand-up comedy show by Danilo Gentili, a Brazilian comedian and reporter from my favourite programme, CQC (shown in a lot of South American countries and some European ones too). This is not his best video, but it's the only one that has English subtitles. I went to his show when he passed by my city and it was fine. Not the funniest I've ever seen, but he's good live. Hope you like it or at least pretend you do.
10th: Crash Bandicoot
Nothing really really funny on Crash games, but the characters are charismatic and a little bit funny each one, what sums a funny game.
9th: Metal Slug
One of the most charismatic and friendly game series ever has funny environments and funny situations, like when the aliens kidnap that guy who looks like Saddam Hussein. Also, the first game of the series had an exclusive art gallery dedicated to that pretty woman of the training center... Phew...
8th: Pepsi Man
The ones who had the luck to play this great game probably have sweet memories of it. The game was basically about avoiding, jumping and crouching from objects while Pepsi Man would run to the end of the level. There were videos between the levels where a funny guy would be eating chips and drinking Pepsi. I found this video of the first level of the game, with a short scene before it.
7th: Bully
In my opinion, one of the best games from the PS2. Bullying itself is already cool (not in real life, though). The game was like a Grand Theft Auto inside the school and I have no words to describe its funniness (?), you'll feel it only when you play it.
6th: Worms
One of the best game series ever, but unfortunately, it's starting to rotten. Just look at Space Oddity and you'll get what I mean. Nevertheless, worms that have funny voices and kill each other is funny, isn't it? Also, the phrases that appear when a worm dies are really funny.
5th: The Sims 2
One of the games which I spent more time playing. Maybe only after Pokemon Silver and Pokemon FireRed. I used to come home from school and I'd start playing it at 1p.m. and would stop only after 7p.m.. That was five days a week, four weeks a month. The funny thing about it is how Sims react to certain situations and how you can generate these situations.
4th: World of Goo
Funny voices like those heard in Worms plus really funny signs painted by the Sign Painter, of course. The funniest character of the game (somehow he/she is the only one, that is, if you count him/her, because all you know about him is that he/she is who paints the signs) who always makes funny comments about the level and sometimes tell a short story about how the Goos happened to be there.
3rd: House of The Dead 2
Now this one is really funny. It did make me laugh for real. Okay, what's so funny about a terror game? It's trashy! Lemme quote some passages of the game. Just after you leave the library in the beginning of the game you find a guy crawling for help. You look at him and he says "I don't wanna die..." and... Pathetically dies. The worst part is that his voice tone is not of someone who is suffering... Simply said it. Just after that, a woman asks you to help a guy who's next to a well and being attacked by zombies. If you shoot him or simply let the zombies get next to him (what will make him fall inside the well), you (the main character) will turn around, go to the woman and say with an awful voice acting and without any sadness "There was nothing we could do.". The whole voice acting is horrible... Oh, and just after that, you'll be attacked by little frogs with teeth. Yes, frogs with teeth... Anyway, the game is trashy but it's good and I intend to buy it, since I had it only for a couple days, borrowed from my sister's friend.
2nd: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The whole GTA series is funny, but this one here is hilarious. The dialogues, the scenes, the missions. Everything. Once more, I cannot tell you how funny it is, but the ones who played must agree with me. There's even a place in Liberty City called ROFL with huge joke glasses on the sign :P
1st: WarioWare: Smooth Moves
There's no game that can beat WarioWare when it comes to funniness. The micro-games are amazingly funny 'cause they are so random and... Funny! I recommend this one to anyone who has sense of humour and I'm sorry for not being able to express its funniness, but this guy on the vid will help me. And don't miss 3:27 and also... Anyway, watch it if you have nothing better do to. Just watching it made me want to play WarioWare... Guess I'll do it tomorrow :D
That's all for today ladies and gentleman. Hope you like it and have a nice day tomorrow... It must be already night for some of you :)
P.S.: Is it just me or this GS' blog editor sucks?
