who says that all video games need to be
played with a straight face okay
sorry sir I mean sergeant welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
comedic video games screw this let’s
torch this mother for this list we’re
taking a look at games that put a strong
emphasis on humor we’ve ranked these
entries based on their clever writing
amusing characters and overall comedic
value this must be that Woodstock place
mom and dad are always talking about
number 10 Ratchet and Clank up your
arsenal aah Clank you speak good nerd
much like the jak and daxter franchise
the Ratchet and Clank games encompass
all the charm fun and playful goofiness
of a great Saturday morning cartoon we
have company where behind you where
behind you in addition to being the
funniest title in the franchise up your
arsenal is also a marvelous ensemble
piece the plot brings together all of
your favorite characters like Captain
quark and introduces a few new colorful
personalities like a robot clearly
modeled after Britney Spears
however the villainous dr. nefarious
notably steals the whole show along with
his long-suffering Butler Lawrence sorry
to disturb your work sir but you may
want to know that your impenetrable
secret base and aquatics
has been penetrated I scan are Ratchet
and Clank themselves are as endearing as
ever solidifying their place as gaming’s
ultimate comedy duo dude it nood nood
wanna trip cool I guess number 9 the
bard’s tale yes it’s me back where the
old-school bard’s tale games were fairly
traditional fantasy role-playing games
this 2004 reboot took a more satirical
approach to the genre
I’m not a bugbear I’m just a dirty old
bastard running around in a smelly old
rug with a bucket for a head
for example the Bard isn’t exactly a
noble hero he actually has little
interest in saving the world unless
there’s some coin and cleavage in it for
him I like a nice dessert why no one
again especially with the fruit dish you
can both be quiet now Cary Elwes of the
Princess Bride is perfectly suited to
voice our sarcastic antihero we also get
some splendid work from the invaluable
Tony Jay as a narrator forced to tell
the bards not so epic tale so it was the
BOD of tape everything his heart and
ever design
whether you choose to be snarky or nice
this is a hysterical adventure full of
laughs and music number eight the
Stanley parable this was not the correct
way to the meeting room and standing you
it perfectly well similar to the bard’s
tale the Stanley parable also derives a
ton of inspired humor from its unseen
narrator sure whatever I come up with on
the next go-around will be even better
the narrator here however is more of a
puppet master as the titular Stanley the
player must decide whether to choose
their own path or follow the narrator’s
suggestions and then something occurred
to stand me maybe he thought to himself
maybe I am crazy what ensues is an
ingenious satire of video games in
general
additionally providing a clever
commentary on the concept of free will
basically it’s the video game equivalent
to stranger than fiction
when others Minds would hello someone
there although the main story goes by
quite quickly you’ll want to play the
Stanley parable multiple times to catch
every joke Easter egg and potential
ending oh not again mine how could you
have done this to us and after we
trusted you after everything we’ve been
through you well I can’t take this
anymore to hell with it
restart number 7 portal 2
here come the test results you are a
horrible person this stellar seat will
feature some of the smartest and most
inventive puzzles ever designed but the
appeal of portal 2 truly lies and it’s
brilliant characters yeah I can’t do it
if you’re watching seriously I’m not
joking could you just turn around for a
second the game sees the return of
GLaDOS who once again manages to be
menacing and sardonic simultaneously if
it makes you feel any better science has
now validated your birth mother’s
decision to abandon you
doorstep we’re also introduced to a
personality core named Wheatley who
practically flies off the screen thanks
to voice actor Steven merchants pitch
perfect timing
do you know what it just goes to show
people with brain damage are the real
heroes in the end aren’t they the end of
the day brave the developers get some
terrific comedic material out of our
protagonist – despite her inability to
speak just tell me just say yes okay
what you’re doing there is jumping even
when the story takes some dramatic turns
portal 2 always maintains its
delightfully dark sense of humor see
that ah is a spectator lottery it’s a
toy for chilled
she knew to sit in number 6 Borderlands
2 Borderlands 2 comes equipped with a
massive arsenal of guns and
unforgettable one-liners to boot let’s
candace planted a new tool like its
predecessor this game refreshingly never
takes itself too seriously
the entire campaign is pretty much one
just big excuse to shoot stuff and have
some laughs along the way oh did I
mention I don’t have a medical license
in the process Borderlands 2 delivers
several witty hell characters like the
villainous handsome Jack but before I
cleanse this planet for good I’m gonna
avenge my daughter of course the game’s
most quotable character has to be the
Chatterbox claptrap who we’d gladly
follow anywhere can’t be chicken
action-packed and consistently hilarious
a vault hunters life never has a dull
moment
number five the secret of monkey island
you’ll have to go through although we’d
love to hit the road with a certain dog
and rabbit the secret of monkey island
was an undeniable game changer for
LucasArts you fight like a dairy farmer
how appropriate you fight like a cow
this is one of the earliest titles to
prove that video games could be
genuinely funny complete with a
wonderful script by Ron Gilbert Dave
Grossman and Tim Schafer ha that’s the
stupidest name I’ve ever heard the
developers put just as much thought into
the dialogue as they put into the
gameplay the result is a comedy classic
that’s as smart as it is funny there’s
just one question that remains what is
the biggest monkey head that guy brush
has ever seen why that’s the second
biggest monkey head I’ve ever seen
number four
Psychonauts oh um you come to pay for
your rainbow Terry we knew you would
another game tim schafer played a major
role in fashioning Psychonauts could
only have come from an endlessly
creative brain I thought it would be
smaller much of the game’s humor stems
from the interactions between its
outlandish characters although everyone
at whispering Rock psychic summer camp
is quirky and precocious they also
managed to be unusually relatable gotcha
if you want to help us save them
okay he’s making out all anyone thinks
about in this place given the game’s
offbeat tone it’s surprising that
Psychonauts was underappreciated upon
release over the years however more and
more gamers have come to recognize it as
a masterwork of platforming and comedy
times have changed the world just
doesn’t mean us anymore
the world does to need Psychonauts right
here at this very camp in fact this is a
bizarre treasure guaranteed to resonate
with that weird little kid in us all
remember your talents will always set
you apart Rasputin sometimes isolation
is a good thing
number three Conker’s Bad Fur Day okay
merry guy look
at a flammable flammable all right
flammable with a title based on its main
characters cuddly appearance Conker’s
Bad Fur Day may seem like wholesome fun
anyone who’s played this m-rated
masterpiece though knows that it’s one
of the rudest crudest and most wickedly
funny games ever
hey that’s really Pompey like I have
English pretty easy up to the job you
active the utterly random campaign feels
like something Alex would be shown in a
Clockwork Orange as a matter of fact the
game’s opening cinematic is a parody of
Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 classic
on top of that Conker’s Bad Fur Day
satirizes everything from Saving Private
Ryan to The Matrix throw in some singing
poo and you have one twisted comedic
adventure you’ll never forget I am the
great mighty poo and I’m going to throw
my shit at you
number two grim fandago ah the big
Golden Door the mediocre management a
little respect for our fearless leader
please beaming with culture style and of
course humour Grim Fandango is one of
the most unique games you’ll ever play I
can’t reap hamburger cows or a whole
other Bureau not to mention the lettuce
tim schafer makes his third appearance
on this list with what many consider to
be his magnum opus much like khalakka
figures all of the characters in this
pointing click adventure are equally
grim and full of life I can’t tell you
my secrets just this you’ll have to
become one with the Bandit many you
wouldn’t think that day of dead and film
noir would go so hand-in-hand yet these
two elements flawlessly blend together
in a game that brings a whole new
meaning to the phrase dying is easy
comedy is hard it’s the only thing that
makes me happy it’s like they reached
into my chest and pulled out my heart
and threw it into the woods before we
get to our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions fuck should if isn’t
a setup
did he catch that ball
hey sassy come here who got some weight
onion
with me scale our four children
number one South Park the stick of truth
so you are the new kid your coming was
foretold by a Coldwell Banker I am the
wizard King since Matt Stone and Trey
Parker are diehard gamers it’s
surprising that it took him so long to
write a good cell fart game Ryan fart on
me come on hi ja the two finally
delivered with the stick of truth an RPG
that’s just as hilarious as the show
that it’s based on
all right douchebag bash clash face in
don’t be chat aside from poking fun at
countless video game tropes the stick of
truth offers an epic interactive
self-park experience
he doesn’t remember he doesn’t remember
at all that’s good that’s good he
doesn’t remember exploring the mountain
town is sir douchebag the new kid you’ll
encounter Eric Cartman princess Kenny
and even Al Gore everybody is given a
moment to shine in a game that provides
