For me it's probably Jazzpunk, but I liked Disco Elysium too. I've been looking for something to scratch that "Jazzpunk surrealist comedy itch" for a while and not many games have come even close.

It's not a very good game, but I laughed my ass off through the Deadpool game. The one that immediately comes to mind though is Bulletstorm. It definitely set the bar for high-brow, sophisticated humor.It's a shame that People Can Fly chose to go with Outriders, because I'd kill for Bulletstorm 2.

The MLB Slugfest series. I don't even like baseball, but they'd sneak these one liners into regular commentary and it just killed me.

Slugfest

I just tried 2003 on emulator and I really tried to like it. You're right, it's really funny. But oh my god these controls are ATROCIOUS! I get it was 2003 and gamecube controllers were already wacky, but I really wanna punch the guy in the face who decided that to throw an out to a base you need to press TWO BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME.

Yes the GameCube version's controls sucked, it's a bit better on the PS2 IMO.

Well that cheesy Deadpool game.

Nexomon: Extinction cracked me up pretty much throughout the entire game.

Disco Elysium is the most recent game that was just chock full of humor, though maybe not focused on it specifically... beyond that the only games I can even really think of that had a focus on comedy were the old LucasArts classics. Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Monkey Island... And Borderlands.

I was just thinking about how this doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Where are the comedic oriented games? Why is everything so damn dark, and serious and brooding nowadays?

But I haven't played that Not-Really-Rick-and-Morty-shooter. I heard that was funny.
