Humor in Games

[Master]

Why does it seem that the only person whose games are consistently funny is Tim Schafer? Am I forgetting someones games, or even specific games that were very funny?

Certain games have their moments, and others are funny is a zany or quirky way (like Panic for instance), but no games seem to be consistently funny all the way through like the games made by the master of the PAC adventure game.

Thoughts? What games am I forgetting about?

PS: For fun, also name some games that are consistently hilarious, absolutely by accident

PS: For the brits the title can be read as "Humour in games". Cheers.

Conker's Bad Fur Day was funny... though it was way too in your face/over the top

I enjoy humor in games, some of my favorite parts of Final Fantasy's are the funnest part... Like the Rally-ho part in IX and all of Tidus' winning in X...

And yeah Conkers was a hilarious game... in a way it was like the comedy of movies of video games... did that make any sense, I hope so...

Earthbound has many funny moments if your into fart-jokes.

Earthworm Jim was funny for a while.

Star Wars Chess for Sega CD is fucking hilarious, albeit unintentionally. Those kill animations had me rolling.

thousand arms was unusally funny for a translation, especially the fight between nelsha and the girl robot (ratchet?) with the bleeped out swearing and the you getting slappedrepetedly. zelda ww surprisingly had a good bit of humor.

Who'se the guy in Evil Dead? I forget his name, but he did commentary in the training missions for Spiderman: The Movie, game. He was hilarious in that.
