Sometimes, you just want to laugh a little. In this article, we will present the funniest games that the video game industry has developed in those few decades of work. There will be funny moments, dialogue, or just the plot, which is one big, crazy rollercoaster. We did not include the primarily severe games but with comical elements, so there is no Grand Theft Auto on this list. Additionally, we chose not to introduce games that are too simplistic, like The Untitled Goose Game, or if games are an addition to a more incredible story like South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Nevertheless, we have come up with some pretty funny games; we dare even say – the best funny games ever, so let’s get into it without further ado!

• Release Date: April 2014

• Developers: Coffee Stain Studios, Double Eleven, Coffee Stain North

• Platform(s): Microsoft Windows, Linux, OS X, Android, iOS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch

• Meta Score: 68

Starting with the GOAT of the funny games – Goat Simulator. It was a surprise hit on multiple platforms, as people seemed not to get enough of this comedy gold playing as a goat. So, what is this game all about? Well, essentially, you still mainly control a goat. A car-proof, explosion-resistant goat, for that matter.

In simplest terms, Goat Simulator is similar to what we have seen in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, where you perform tricks to get the highest score possible. In this “installment,” you must cause as much mayhem as possible. So, destroy everything you can see with jumping, licking, and headbutting.

The funniest thing about this game is the semi-realistic physics that makes the goat float all over the place after sticking its tongue to multiple items or being constantly run over by some cars. In any other game, this would be considered animal cruelty, but this game stands firmly on the idea that goats are essentially immortal, and we cannot fight with that concept. And so does the 2.5 million sales of this title.

Next, we have the famous Garry’s Mod, a game initially released as an accident but turned out to be one of the funniest video games ever created. Is it worth playing? Well, yes. Still, after so many years, it gives people lots and lots of joy!

So, how did it happen? In the beginning, Gary’s mod was supposed to be a Half-Life 2 mod that let you have fun with the physics in the game. It’s a complete sandbox; you can do whatever you want. So, people started to do just that. The only mechanic in the game is that you can spawn objects that you want to appear in the game. You can build your car, a rocket, or whatever it is you want to spread mayhem with, Saints Row IV-style. 

Many games have tried this, but this is one of the few that perfected it. It’s like copying things from the clipboard. Related topics – it’s an internet sensation that every human should try at least once. You can play it with friends offline, solve murders, or hide and seek. Gary’s Mod is a perfect game for all activities, so if you want to have fun – you will find some in Gary’s Mod.

• Release Date: November 2007

• Developer: Traveller’s Tales

• Platform(s): PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Wii, iOS, Android

• Meta Score: 80

Next, we have the LEGO: Star Wars – The Complete Saga. You can’t go wrong with some LEGO games when it comes to silly figurines. You can create, inspire, and play each mission with your friend or solo – the premise is – you just need to have as much fun as possible. While also laughing at the hilarious portrayal of the Star Wars saga by LEGO blocks.

And the game is so much fun, with or without all the comedic elements. It’s for all ages; you are free to leave it whenever you want – there are just no downsides to this title! It manages to do one thing incredibly right – it allows you to experience everything that Star Wars represents while laughing your back off. It’s a win-win!

So, if you want an excellent platformer experience, you would also like to travel through the stars and play some of the most iconic characters from the Star Wars movies. This cartoonish representation of the first two trilogies is the best you can get!

• Release Date: July 2016

• Developer: No Brakes Games, Codeglue

• Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android, iOS

• Meta Score: 73

Another game on our list is Human Fall Flat. You control Bob, a white blob that you can move around limb-by-limb all over the map, solving puzzles and having fun with other players or solo. And how it is portrayed is hilarious. The scenes where you try to climb a cube, each attempt where you just can’t go over a simple block – it’s funny!

The game does not have any plot we should mention, but it’s a classic show-not-tell concept, where you show your white blob where it should put its hand, but all they do is pull your nerves.

Additionally, in contrast to a particular octopus-based game, you have a lot of possibilities when it comes to the movement. If you are a fan of games where you can creatively have fun with friends and family and experience laughter that you could not get from a joke, then this game is definitely for you!

• Release Date: February 2016 

• Developer: PopCap Games

• Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Cloud Gaming

• Meta Score: 82

Next, we have the ridiculous game from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. Whether you prefer to be on the plants' side or you want to join zombies, the one thing is clear – war, war never changes. So, get your seeds, kids, and let's blast some undead with photosynthesis!

As you can see, the game is hilarious right from the start. You can play solo or online with friends, understand this weird city's history, or just learn the mechanics and fight away. It has all the best features most games in the FPS genre usually have, like Team Vaniquis, Herbal Assault, or Garden Ops.

The further you go, the more ridiculous it gets, with characters like Cactus, Sunflower, Chomper, and Peashooter. It has a hilarious soundtrack, with music created to match what is happening on the screen. So, grab your copy, and let’s get into some proper satire!

• Release Date: June 2018

• Developer: InnerSloth LLC, PlayEveryWare

• Platform(s): PC, Switch, Android, iOS

• Meta Score: 85

The next game on our list is the famous Among Us. And – it’s a hilarious title for people of any age, where the most fun thing is arguing with other people trying to convince you that they didn’t really kill your friend next door.

The main concept is simple: you are playing either as the Crew or Impostor. You fly in the cosmos, full of nothingness with your crew, and everything seems to be okay. But something changes after one of you drops dead. You have heard about aliens that can take the form of another being. So, the plot thickens! Will you be able to escape?

The gameplay revolves around doing some basic chores on the ship, like repairing the vent. It’s all mini-game-based, but it’s not the first game to do so. Where it differs is that you will have to be careful of all your friends so that when the meeting commences, you will not be voted out as an impostor.

Among Us is an extremely funny game, so if you enjoy some good comedy that comes from arguing with other people – then this is the leading cause of laughter for you!

• Release Date: August 2016

• Developer: Ghost Town Games

• Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Google Stadia

• Meta Score: 81

And finally, we have the ever-beloved Overcooked. When it comes to games that you can play with your partner, this is the single best title to have ever been created.

Overcooked is a hilarious game where you play as a chef who wants to create a perfect dish or cake. The point is to do it as fast as possible, so here is where the tension and drama come in. Each course will have a very narrow time limit, so you will need to strategize in order to fulfill all of them.

The game is extremely fun to play, and you will rage yell at each other, but ultimately – have extremely good fun in the kitchen. Of course, it’s a simple game that will probably not have jokes, but the strange humor it vibrates with is something on another level of cuteness. So, if you like watching someone being extremely angry but in a funny way, this game is definitely for you!

And here we are at the end of our road! We hope that among all of these games (or at least Among Us), you will find laughs, fantastic stories, and, as you can expect, a realm called Hilarity that you were seeking! Defying expectations, those games managed to not only create some laughs but also engaging stories, build a sense of fulfillment, or even explore some of the most interesting open worlds you have ever seen.

Get ready for a fun-filled adventure in this place where you can laugh out loud. You might even discover your new favorite thing! So, pack your bags and sense of humor, and let's have a great time!
