Several times in Yakuza Kiwami, courtesy of Majima Everywhere system. Basically, you arrive in town completely weak and this dude who is also a yakuza, called Goro Majima, takes it upon himself to "train you up". For the player this means having to fight him all the time. At first, it's just meeting him on the street. Then, he starts making ambushes around corners. Then, he starts dressing up as a cop just so he can have an excuse to beat you up. THEN he starts muscling into fights he didn't even start and it just gets more and more ridiculous from there. I found it super funny just how annoying they made him. In a good way, though!

Majima is great to watch steamers either adore or get increasingly exasperated by lmao.
Majima is the best.
I really miss playing as him with breaker style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYAGRUO1nwM
We laughed a lot while playing RV there yet. But by myself, probably Disco Elysium.
In Clair Obscur, convincing your fifth party member to join you had me actually cackling
I cackled playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
...when some NPCs moonwalked in the background during some dialogue.
Before that, some parts Yakuza: Like A Dragon which I thought was a much funnier and better game
Last month I fell into Cyberpunk 2077. There is a lot of humor in that game, but I remember getting a call at 2 in the morning to pick up dick melting off guy and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
Played yesterday with friends at NFS underground 1 it was quite fun
I'll second Dispatch. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would and legitimately looking forward to the next chapters.
Joy and Laughter are woke, so I stopped with them years ago. (/s on the "so", literally just on that word)
While the lack of laughter can be from depression or stress (the podcasts I used to die laughing from only get an actual laugh out loud moment every once in a while now), I feel like most story-based video games that do humor try too hard nowadays and it doesn't land (like outer worlds)
Most of my laughter in video games, personally has been from interacting with other people. Valheim, Helldivers 2, REPO, overcooked, stardew valley, etc...
Probably the last single player game I laughed with was A Hat in Time or something.
Not a funny line but I laughed out loud when selling items in Lethal Company for the first time. It's an absurd game made with humor, and the multiplayer gameplay creates a lot of hilarious situations.
Sir Whoopass when the goblins are looking for a wifi connection.
Portal Revolution
The Messenger was hilarious
Goat Simulator 3 - absolutely ridiculously stupid funny.
on arc raiders yesterday my squad had another one cornered in a room and we got third partied by a much better kitted one. we asked the people we were trying to kill if they wanted to team up and kill the bigger threat and they agreed. and I warned them that the enemy was waiting outside so we needed to be careful...
they immediately ran outside, turned the corner, and I just saw a bunch of bloody mist coming through the open door. afterwards they all crawled back in on all fours and preceded to get set on fire in the hallway by the enemies.
I was almost crying from how hard I laughed
My partner slipped on a banana peel in PEAK, I got a cheap chuckle out of that lol.
Peak made me realise how every game needs directional voice chat. Seeing my friend slip and fall and we were like: well, he's dead for sure, let's keep going, while you hear a muffled sound going: i'm still aliiiiive help. Ia just too funny
