    TellTale Games' adventure games like Monkey Island, Sam and Max. There are some funny moments in them - not exactly LOL, but you will get a chuckle or two out of them.

    Friendly banters between your squad mates in Dragon Age are gold, some really funny dialogs in there.

    Especially anything between Alistair and Morrigan. Or some of the playe's conversations with Alistair.

    Psychonauts, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, Brutal Legend, Full Throttle some of the Sam & Max episodes. Hmmm 4 of those are Tim Schafer games. XD

    The intro to Nox makes me laugh everytime...
    "Lousy second rate candle makers...I'll kill them all when I rule the world"

    As mentioned, Sam & Max and the Monkey Island games...

    Freedom Force has its moments

    MDK

    Pooting in Oddworld (I can't help it...pooting will probably make me laugh until the day I die)

    Also as mentioned, Duke Nukem (and Shadow Warrior although SW is considered culturally insensitive now..."I think my dinghy hanging out")

    No One Lives Forever is tongue-in-cheek spoof of the spy film genre...I never laughed until milk was coming out my nose, but it has some funny moments...

    Flatout's driver throwing mini-game is funny the first couple of times

    Minions in Overlord

    Grim Fandango is one of if not the funniest game ever, very edgy comedy. Another Tim Schafer game.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

    It's pretty funny, if that's your kind of humor. If you don't like it, it probably means you are not cool and most likely very unattractive.

    <-------- Sam & Max.


    One that's Very underrated though - Conker's Bad Fur Day. Probably can emulate it to your PC. Hysterical. You get to fight an opera-singing s#*t monster. Among other things.


    And yes, Duke Nuke'em.

    Exactly.
    The new Duke Nuke'em won't have a health bar but an ego bar.
    Aliens, old-school weaponry, sharp dressed girls, nasty remarks, it will have it all and more.

    Coming soon!!!! (2011 that is)

    well not exactly related to pc's but whenever i play some super smash bros brawl with friends, some really funny stuff happens in that game sometimes when you play lol.
    Other than that, how about warcraft 3? stupid strats are always a funny thing to watch. for example!

    As has been mentioned by others, the point and click adventure game genre is probably your best go-to for funny games - particularly LucasArts and Telltale's iterations. I would personally go with Monkey Island (probably 3, then 2, then 1, then 4) and Sam and Max as their funniest games, but Grim Fandango, if you can get over the horrible technical flaws (the GRIME engine was a technological failure), is THE masterpiece of the genre.

    There's a fairly large free-indie adventure game community out there (particularly made with AGS and the Wintermute Engine), the funniest free one I've played was Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy, and it's actually a very well-designed game for a one-man project.

    If you're looking for a more modern game, though - my perennial recommendation, Borderlands, gave me a couple LOL moments for sure. They've got some great characters and dialog there.

    I find Saints Row 2 to make me laugh out loud at times. I was playing a mission where I was traveling as a passenger in a sewage filled truck (septic avenger)launching the contents at passers by, businesses, buildings and the local police for revenge and to devalue property.

    Other times random evens occurred that made me laugh too. Just be aware that you have to put a bit of work in to make SR2 perform decently but once that has been done, it is usually fine.

    Join my squad in Bad Company 2 and follow me around. You will start laughing soon thereafter.

    no one said GTA IV????

    if you have a sense of humor then GTA IV is pretty funny..

    the mansion
    gay tony
    running over pedestrians
    screwing hookers in a videogame
    paranoid coke addicted dealers

    I don't know about you guys, but I laughed quite a bit during GTA IV

    its not exactly a serious game...although i wish GTA IV was more like mafia 2 story wise.
