Most of the humor we experience in games we appreciate, but this article touches on quite a funny fact: There are not that many games produced for the simple reason of making the player laugh.

Everyone's definition of "funny" is different, what's funny to one person is just a "yawn" to another.

I would have to disagree and say Conkers Bad Fur Day was definitely made for comedy purposes. It was also a very good game as well.

It was still designed ala "mario bros' and not specifically as a comedic video game.
