This was my exact answer too. So many conversations with Monaco and Esquie are genuinely laugh out loud funny.
Expedition 33 got me to laugh pretty hard a few times.
The wife and I are currently playing through Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Tina has been making us laugh for years now, there's something about Ashley Birch's deliveries that just works. Quite a lot of the lines given to the PCs to say randomly as your are fighting are great too. Always hardest with a game that is meant to be funny, but they pull it off.
Hades 2 when I finally stumbled upon Dionysus. He’s wearing a leopard print speedo in it and his bulge is as subtle as a kick in the shin.
I love that they gave him a massive bulge. Found him in a run last night.
Cyberpunk 2077, overheard two NPCs sharing a joke:
What does a corpo say before he offs himself?

Guys, please don't shoot.
Disco Elysium. The dialog options are so cracked
My partner always levels half light and physical instrument to get the most unhinged dialogue and it's great.
Half light is the biggest troll in the game, surpassing even Electrochemistry in how unhinged it is.
Outer Worlds 2, baby! It takes itself more seriously than the first one, which I think adds to the comedy.
What got a chuckle out of me was this statue in the first town you visit. It's a beautifully-designed, marble statue of some hero. The Auntie's Choice corporation that's colonized the area used an advertisement drone to project an image of the CEO's face over the statue's head.
There's also the Protectorate members that have tried to integrate into corporate society saying things like, "I only recently learned that artificial means good!"
I love dry humor, and this game is much more dry than the first.
I didn't know this was already out! Hell yeah
Not technically. I got the edition with the prerelease.
This is the only game I've been excited about all year, but with Avowed's mixed reception I was waiting for the prerelease reviews to roll in, and they were pretty glowing a few days ago. Even some of the ones calling it "woke" still recommended it, which I think speaks a lot to the quality of the game. So, I bought it.
Yeah, I love it so far. Super skill-heavy. Most conversations I've had have had some kind of option for a skill check. Plus some exploration has been gated behind a trait or skill as well. If you liked the first one, it fixed all those problems.
Oh nice, that all sounds good to me. I was going to get it anyway since Obsidian usually delivers the sauce. I'm suprised whenever chuds can comprehend when Outer Worlds was woke. It seemed too subliminal to trigger them.
Did you play avowed? That was the first Obsidian game I've hesitated on
I did not play Avowed. I may get it on a sale, but OW2 is like the only game I've been waiting for. I think it may actually have been worth the money I spent for the prerelease, but time will tell.
The Stanley Parable is very funny. I don't want to spoil it, especially because reading or watching videos is not the same as interacting with the game, but the narrator reacts to what you do, even if you try to do something absurd there's a good chance that it has a special reaction for that.
South Park games also are very funny, the first one (Stick of Truth) especially. But it is a very dark humor, e.g. the difficulty slider also changes your skin color.
Stanley Parable is amazing, not something I personally would laugh out loud at, but truly a masterpiece of a game.
Thank Goodness You're Here was good for a few laughs.
It's a watering can't.
It's such a fun and cozy little game, I honestly want the creators to make it into a show or something. I love all the characters and I want to see more of them!
And the soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous too.

I replayed through Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge recently. The live action cutscenes are beautifully campy. Top notch. In the Soviet campaign, you steal the Allied time machine and use it to go back to stop Yuri; but you quickly learn that "our Soviet power supply is too efficient, and it sent us back 65 million years!" You then spend a minute defending against an onslaught of T-Rexes before it recharges to send you to the correct time period. A whole "level" for that one-off joke! They don't make em like they used to....
The South Park games got a few laughs out of me.
Borderlands games have a few good gags sprinkled throughout.

Summer Trip Cruise on the first run.
The whole thing is just so plain silly and the music fits perfectly.
Tactical Breach Wizards
Probably Portal 2, but I plan to try Dispatch as soon as it has completed.
Many video games have funny moments, but Portal 2 remains on top as the most hilarious video game of all-time.
I'm laughing constantly when playing multiplayer games with my kids. Silly party games mainly where we end up in weird interactions or just making jokes or role play about what's happening in the game.
For single player I can't really remember but the old monkey island and Simon the sorcerer got me laughing back in the days.
Fairly regularly with Helldivers 2. The mockery of fascism is too notch, the gameplay results in a lot of hilarious moments of disaster without being punishing, and those combined make for great interactions with other players.
Just the other night I had a 500kg dropped on my ass just far enough away from me to not kill me instantly but still send me flying over to the next space-county where I died on impact
The Paper Mario games have several laugh-worthy jokes and scenarios
Spiritfarer has a couple
Animal Crossing New Horizons has a couple
some years ago, magicka made me regularly pause the game
more recently, broken age had a few good twists and lines (well it's more recent for me, i just started playing it)
Ironically, Dispatch was the one that I immediately thought of. There's a few other games that have made me laugh recently, but the only one where I felt that the humor was there to stay is Tactical Breach Wizards.
Jen: What the hell just happened?
Zan: I think you just met Liv Kennedy.
Jen: ...
Jen: ...
Jen: I didn't love it.

Damn, CJ, why you always gotta be a busta?
VtM Bloodlines 2 just got me yesterday because it changed up the dialogue my character speaks when I put on a catholic priest outfit. He provokes people to rage by saying vampy things depending on his clothes but in the priest suit it's just simple "Damn you!"s and calling people demon or quoting the exorcist. The NPC's have the best replies to this though.
Before that it was probably the music video scene from The Alters

Baby Steps has made me laugh a lot this past month. But my last laugh in gaming was on saturday when I started the new Katamari game and the very first thing I made was given the title Miso Flavour Uranus.

I mean, I don't know if you can call it 'designed' or not, but multiplayer experiences with chained together are always hilarious. The ironic 'we own you' or 'casually dismissing how unimportant you are' messages in satisfactory get a chuckle. Boneraiser minions is humorous as well, as the minions range from 'normal skeleton' to 'pumpkin headed horrors' and are definitely designed around silliness. Ship of fools has the multiplayer shenanigans, but ALSO some really funny, dry humored lines about the state of your boat/character. All the cat quest games... if you're not rolling your eyes at all the cat puns, there's something wrong with you. Ooooohh, I almost forgot! Another multiplayer one, but entirely designed around laughing as you put a bomb in front of your friend's favorite path to the goal: ultimate chicken horse.
Just started playing Wolfenstein: New Colossus for the first time, and everything is just so over the top, it's funny. The game starts you out in a wheel chair, where you roll through a u-boat, shooting Nazis with an automatic pistol.

Flavor Text: "Upon hitting an enemy, clap their cheeks so hard it generates a lightning strike."
In Kletka when I unlocked the naked skin and my friends noticed the tramp stamp before I did lol
Hades 2 made me laugh. and I read a visual novel that made me laugh as well.
I finished Date Everything a few months ago and there were so many interactions in there that got genuine laughs out of me. The last time I laughed that hard at a game was the ending to Untitled Goose Game.
Maybe Topher saves the universe
