About this gallery:

To create this list, we decided to focus on games with wonderfully crafted scripts designed to make us laugh. Of course, we chose to include only one game per franchise, or we could have filled the list with just *Monkey Island* games.

Also, remember that this is a subjective list! If you think we missed a game that made you cry with laughter, why not share it in the comments? | © Young Horses

18. Worms Armageddon (1999)

There’s nothing quite like blowing up your friends with explosive sheep and holy hand grenades. *Worms Armageddon* combines strategy and chaos with a heavy dose of slapstick humor, making every match feel like a comedic showdown.

It’s as hilarious as the show, and every minute is filled with jokes that only *South Park* can pull off. | © Obsidian Entertainment / Ubisoft

8. Grand Theft Auto V (2013)

While *GTA V* is mostly known for its action-packed chaos, the humor is just as iconic.

If a trip through the twisted minds of quirky characters doesn’t sound funny enough, *Psychonauts* piles on the laughs with its sharp writing and bizarre situations.

It’s a weird, wonderful, and laugh-filled ride. | © Double Fine Productions

Cropped The Secret of Monkey Island — 3. The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)

*The Secret of Monkey Island* set the standard for funny adventure games.

Guybrush Threepwood’s cluelessness and the game’s quirky humor are still hilarious, even decades later. | © LucasArts

2. The Stanley Parable (2013)

The true beauty of *The Stanley Parable* lies in its ability to mock not just the player, but the very concept of video games.
