What is the funniest FPS or any game in any other genre while we're here?

[Trevelyan]

I love playing First-Person Shooter's, all told FPS's are my favorite genre. Some of the best i've played all try to inject a bit of humor into them (Doom:afro:, Quake:thumbs:, Duke Nukem:farmer:, Goldeneye:E and Half Life). Goldeneye I think is the best, the computer AI is so daft sometimes. And was it Quake that would rip you when you tried to Quit the game? I loved that!

Anyone for Jagged Alliance 2 though?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Check it out if you can.

 

[Darkside55]

No One Lives Forever's pretty funny, listening to the HARM agents talk.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Sam and Max. Those two are hilarious!

As I remember, it was DOOM that ripped you for quitting...

 

[Lucid]

Giants : Citizen Kabuto was great.

 

[Trevelyan]

I love ye old english banter in thief 2.

Thinking about the GTA's, I can remember laughing more at the old top down view series.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Giants : Citizen Kabuto was great.

Awesome, except Delphi's bitch races.

 

[BaconIsGood4You]

Portal for FPS
Psychonauts for overall

 

[Viperidae]

Monkey Island.

 

[smwScott]

As far as FPS games go:

NOLF 1/2
Portal
Timsplitters 2/3

Can't really think of any more but I'm sure I'm missing some.

Grim Fandango

[Uriel]

Any Lucasarts game. Especially Sam & Max

Portal, TF2, Thief 1&2

 

[theotherguy]

Portal.

 

[Trevelyan]

Love the Grim Fandango and Murray from The Curse of Monkey Island!

 

[Trevelyan]

Pro Cycling Manager gets my vote for the funniest management game. Could you intentionally cause pile ups?

 

[Hellrider]

POSTAL 2 like duh

 

[Jintor]

PSYCHONAUTS!!!

Srsly. Funny funny stuff.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Action games?

No One Lives Forever (and 2)
Timesplitters 2 (and 3)
Giants: Citizen Kabuto

Sacrifice? Does that count?

 

[Jintor]

Yes.

Grim Fandango was also pretty awesome.

 

[MRG]

A couple more..
Armed & Dangerous
Shadow Warrior

-MRG

 

[Jintor]

Your poor man's PC is about 40x better than mine, MRG.

 

[Shift]

Had some great laughs with my mates on Timesplitters 2 lol.

 

[staticprimer]

Psychonauts, Portal, the Space Quest series.

 

[Beerdude26]

Not really a game, but the HL2 mod Day Hard had me LOL'ing a lot of times. Highly recommended.

 

[Lt. Drebin]

There was a South Park FPS on the N64 that I remember being pretty funny....

 

[Jangle]

The monkey island series.

 

[No Limit]

Portal was the funniest game I have ever played. Period.

 

[Absinthe]

I'm trying to think of games I actually laughed my balls off at. I meann, I certainly found NOLF to be amusing, but I never laughed out loud. It's hard to think of any.

That is, except for Portal. That game had me chuckling a fair bit and even caused me to die a few times since I was laughing.

 

[Ennui]

I agree with all of these.

Portal was amusing. NOLF, Psychonauts, and I miss the old gutsy FPSes like Wolf3d and Doom and Quake.

 

[Warbie]

Portal made me laugh out loud a few times, which is very rare for a video game.

 

[Reginald]

There was a South Park FPS on the N64 that I remember being pretty funny....

It was awful. Literally a sub-standard Shockwave game. The better South Park games were South Park Rally and Chef's Luv Shack. Two hilarious games... at the time.

Portal, Timesplitters 2, Grim Fandango and Wario Ware all get me laughing.

 

[Warbie]

Oh, Wii Sports. Wii Tennis often results in bouts of laughter. Whether that's laughing at the game or ppl playing it i'm not sure. My, very drunk, gfs mum took out our light while serving and fell over diving for the ball. I was crying with laughter.

 

[Trevelyan]

i laugh most when the AI goes nutty - see Goldeneye. so its

FPS - Goldeneye
point & click - (monkey islands * grim fandango. Gr8 writing!)
turn based - Jagged alliance 2 (those accents...)
management - Pro cycling manager!

Thanks for all the correspondence, i've got the names of some titles I must go and purchase.

Only a few hours now till the Orange box is released in euro land, I hope Portal's as fun as it sounds!

 

[kupocake]

Monkey Island 1 and 2, We Love Katamari, Portal.

 

[CyberPitz]

I'd have to say Stubbs the Zombie was pretty rofl.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I can't think of many games that I found funny as much as Duke Nukem 3D, but thats because I haven't played the likes of Grim Fandango.

I would probably say Sam & Max has hit the spot for funny moments, but I'm not really fond of the gameplay. I also been having fun with the Zombe Survival mod, for, em? Gmod.

I'm having a wail of a time with the Crysis beta, mainly because what other game will allow you to jump out of a moving vehicle, just as it goes of a cliff edge, at which point the car explodes, killing people down below :E

The community will be making the game even wackier, which I'm waiting eagerly for.

 

[jimbo118]

The NPC's in Thief: The Deadly Shadows were hilarious at times, loved just hearing them speak, the dumb/smart guard banter in particular.

 

[The Brick]

Team Fortress 2
Startopia

And already mentionedt: Time Splitters 2+3, Psychonauts.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

No One Lives Forever's pretty funny, listening to the HARM agents talk.

Yes. LOVE THE NOLF, and NOLF2 funny/charismatic FPS at it's best.

 

[golden_fang]

Portal made me lol
