The Monkey Island games come to mind. A Bard's Tale maybe?
You fight like a cow
I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle
Came in to say Monkey Island
Same, just finished last week the Return to Monkey Island, after 20+ years played the Cursed Monkey Island.
This series is something special.
Yarr
People (not me), seemed to really like Thank Goodness You're Here. Undertale is a popular one. Date Everything seemed funny from what I saw of it, and if playing with friends things like peak, baby steps, or getting over it. Lots of different genres there, but steam also has a tag for comedy games. Even if you don't end up buying it on steam, you can always check that out in case you don't get enough options via comments.
Thank Goodness You’re Here is quite possibly the funniest game I’ve ever played - good suggestion.
Seconding "Thank goodnees you're here" and "Date everything"!
Thank goodness you're here is utterly brilliant. Full of very British humour akin to the Viz comics.
I dunno if it’s “comedy based” but I find Grim Fandango really funny.

If you're into some point and click, I might suggest the Sam and Max collection
South Park: The Stick of Truth and its sequel were really funny and the RPG gameplay was a lot more fun than I expected. I’ll also second the recommendation for the Monkey Island series.
Thank goodness you're here (already suggested and upvoted) and McPixel
HITMAN! The core story/cutscenes form a very serious, grim premise. But, the actual gameplay, and the writing of the many dozens of NPCs in each level, is filled with humorous charm and tongue-in-cheek Bond-eque silliness. Characters will acknowledge 47's often paper-thin disguises, make silly remarks about excuses to take off early, or alluding to how horrible it would be if some freak accident occurred. Plus, the mechanics can involve things like dropping banana peels for people to slip on, or luring people with a cartoony explosive rubber duck.
It takes a bit of time to get used to how the game wants you to explore, and stop trying to brute-force it like a stealth game. Quite often, some of the main intended ways of going about a mission involve little to no stealth. It's a lot of fun and very replayable.

Never has a game made me laugh out loud like when I first discovered it. Clever humour, unique characters, and each line of dialogue is packed with effortless charm and wit. Not to mention the philosophical themes disguised as one man's quirky Day of the Dead -themed quest to get to the afterlife.
The puzzles are a product of its time so a walkthrough might be needed. But that's forgivable for the game's big picture.
Wish I could wipe my memory of it and play it all over again.
Unmetal is a fun spoof on Metal Gear/MGS games
I was surprised how much it's able to hold its laughter to tell a worthwhile story. It makes sense, because every single line just being pure parody/silliness can get really grating.

Deadpool the game is super funny if you can get it. There is no legal way to get it.
Damm, if there's no legal way I can't play it.. Just impossible...
I mean i can't even remember when I first played it how did I acquire it... Arrr...
West of Loathing and Shadows over Loathing are two really funny and silly games.
Kingdom of Loathing is probably one of the best games ever imo
The original ace Attorney trilogy is pretty good with humor, some people enjoy the humor in the somnium files, yazuka zero's side content is pretty funny.
I liked Guardians of the Galaxy
If you're enjoying The Stanley Parable, you'll probably like Do Not Press The Button To Destroy The Multiverse.
Played it over a decade ago but Jazzpunk remains very fond in my memory. Can highly recommend it
High on Life is full of jokes from beginning to end. There is a surprising amount of detail and commitment to most of the jokes. It's a shame about Justin Roiland though.
The Looker is a short parody of The Witness and it’s free on steam
Depending on when you were born: Class of '09
I'm not sure how it would hit for non-millenials but if you went to school in the early aughts the entire series is great.
Both MediEvil games on PS1. Yes they're kind of dated now, but I'll always have a soft spot for Sir Daniel Fortesque and his skeleton slapstick.
"There is no game"
Have you got the deluxe edition of Stanley parable? It really got me laughing how much it jokes about sequels.
Tales from the borderlands is one of the funniest games I've ever played. It's a telltale game.
West of loathing is a turn based game but it's too unserious with lots of jokes.
South park: The stick of truth is probably the best comedy game I've ever played. You can also try the sequels.
There was an old deadpool game but I can't remember the name. If you know deadpool, you can expect the type of humour in it. Might not have aged well though.
And if you want a great game with comedy, the YAKUZA series is in a class of it's own. One minute you'll be laughing your ass out, and the next minute you'll be bawling. I'd recommend not to start with yakuza 0. It's a prequel but the story is so phenomenal that, after playing, other parts feels average in comparison.

It's Disco Elysium, but you're a cleric in D&D in a nutshell.
There Is No Game. It's not very funny, but still pretty funny.
It's rather dry humor but I had a pretty good amount of laughs and chuckles from "Thomas Was Alone"
Good joke games are rare.
If you like narrative games I would recommend "Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist". It is very short (15 minutes), but it is good, and it is free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/409160
Another silly game with lots of jokes in it is "Kraken Academy!!": https://store.steampowered.com/app/1158220
Just say not!
