Top 10 funniest games of all time

Video games are serious business, but that doesn’t mean game-makers and their fans take it too seriously. Game developers also have their own sense of humour and aren’t afraid to infuse their creations with it. Some are subtle, some are in-your-face slapstick, while others make a tense situation lighter with some well-timed comedy.No matter what, these video games are bound to tickle your funny bone. Let’s see the top 10 funniest games of all time.

#10 Deadpool

Here’s the Deadpool's oratory: "There are a few important things I need to say before you crack into my insanely sweet game. (Oof. Here we go again.) I'm a mercenary with an accelerated healing factor.

I've been described as unstable, which is just plain coo-coo. (Wait, do sane people say coo-coo?) I'm gonna battle for the safety of humans and mutants. (And even mumans.) Be prepared for just about anything. (Holla!) • I made sure to capture all my good sides, so I made my game a third-person action-shooter. (Yep, you get to look at my heinie.) • Keep a look out cuz some of my X-Men pals (Whoa, what pals?!) are making an appearance.

(Hope you don't mind picking hair out of your tacos.) • I'm really good at killing, so I made it a blast stringing together combos, and totally eviscerating my enemies. (Ev-is-cer-a-ting!) • I brought my skills and a buttload of my favorite things. Katanas (check), guns (bang!) explosives (boom), duct tape (quack) and of course, yours truly - ME! (Checkmate!)" If this doesn’t get you laughing or atleast smiling, we really don’t know what will.

#9 Goat Sim

The game has been compared by the developer as akin to skateboarding games, but where the player controls a goat aimed at doing as much damage as possible around an open-world map, without any other larger goals.

The game, initially developed as a joke prototype from an internal game jam and shown in an early alpha state in YouTube videos was met with excitement and attention, prompting the studio to build out the game into a releasable state while still retaining various non-breaking bugs and glitches to maintain the game's entertainment value.

Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally been realized!

#8 Portal

Portal was developed by Valve and was included in the Orange Box with Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2. It really came as a surprise and has a great dark sense of humor.

GlaDOS is one of the best video game villains ever seen and since she is just a computer that wants to use your character for a series of experiments and doesn't care if you live or die it's very funny how quick she is to send you to oblivion because it suits her needs.

Of course, one thing from this game that has become famous is the line "the cake is a lie" and it has spread so far as to become a full-blown Internet meme. Even the song that plays during the final credits was released as a free download for Rock Band. There are lots of little Easter Eggs in this game and they really add to the humor.

#7 Grim Fandango

When this game came out the adventure genre wasn't doing too well and only a few companies has taken the leap from 2D into 3D. Well, the guys at LucasArts decided to make the leap and oh how they succeeded.

The game follows Manny Calivera who is a grim reaper and it is the Day of the Dead. The whole game has a mix of styles with a heavy Mexican influence in the characters and all of the buildings are done in an art deco style that really makes the game unique to look at.

There are so many varied characters here and my favorite has to be Glottis who is your large mechanic/driver and he's basically a big kid and is a little slow but he's so funny and so lovable you forgive him for his little eccentricities.

The voice acting is here is also spot on and the way the characters deliver their lines with a serious tone while they are doing something as silly as putting someone in a coffin and filling it up with foam to send them off the afterlife makes it one of those games that's still funny even after multiple playthroughs.

#6 Conker\'s Bad Fur Day

The game follows Conker the squirrel who wakes up after a night of heavy drinking and doesn't know where his girlfriend has gone so he sets out to find her. One thing I love about this game are the movie references and how they re-enacted some scenes almost perfect.

For example, you go into a vampire level and there is a scene that mimics the opening of Bram Stoker's Dracula almost perfectly and in another scene they do the beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan complete with the soldier throwing up on the boat.

Most favorite is the gunfight scene from the Matrix complete with bullet time jumps through the air. But, of course, this is the only game where you get to fight a huge opera singing pile of crap called The Great Mighty Poo.

The day after his 21st birthday bash, Conker's sporting the worst hangover ever, and he just can't seem to find his way home. Prepare to stagger through raunchy, raucous scenarios crammed full of bad manners, twisted humor, and graphic bodily functions. Unless you're a fan of violence, foul language, and racy innuendo, you'd best steer clear of this one

#5 Space Quest Series

The characters in the game, they are just so goofy and out there that they can't help but be fun. The game follows the adventures of cosmic janitor Roger Wilco as he travels the galaxy and tries not to get himself killed.

It's one of those games where he keeps getting himself into crazier and crazier situations and you wonder what's going to happen next. There are also enough jokes and references to satisfy just about any sci-fi nerd.

Such as you look into a Star Trek shuttle in one game and all you see is a soiled rag that says "my father was betrayed at Khitomer and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." Some parts of the game are a little dated by some pop culture references, but just the way the characters react and the ways that your character can die are so much fun to see.

#4 Monkey Island

The Monkey Island series follow the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood who at first wants to become a mighty pirate. The first game is pretty much you trying to become a pirate and then you run into the ghost pirate LeChuck who wants to kill you.

LeChuck is the key villain in the games and it's another one of those games where the situations and puzzles are so goofy they are at times laugh out loud funny. One thing that is also great is when the games made the translation into 3D they did so perfectly and when they added voice instead of straight text they got great actors to play all the characters and have done the smart thing and not changed up who plays them from game to game

. If you downloaded the newest games that were just released you get the same actor playing Guybrush as when the games first added voice.

It is also a lot of fun to see the recurring characters such as Stan who starts off selling discount coffins and later on you run into him selling insurance. LucasArts also loved to throw in Star Wars references and they are done in a subtle enough way that they don't detract too much from the pirate setting.

If you haven't played these games you should check out the newest ones that just came out or check out the Special Edition of Monkey Island 2 that was released on Xbox 360 and PS3.

#1 The Simpsons: Road Rage

The Simpsons Road Rage is a video game made by EA and released in 2001 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance. According to GameSpot, who gave the game a 6 out of 10 score, "The only saving grace Road Rage has is that it's a Simpsons game."

The game also gained some controversy when video game company SEGA sued the creators of the show due to all of its similarity to the SEGA game Crazy Taxi. SEGA won the lawsuit, ceasing all production of new copies.
