Comedy is hard. Comedy in video games is even harderbecause the joke has to survive your terrible aim, your chaotic mouse sensitivity,
and that one friend who thinks “stealth” means sprinting directly into a laser grid.
Still, Steam is absolutely packed with PC games that are actually funny: razor-sharp satire, immaculate deadpan narration,
slapstick physics disasters, and co-op chaos that turns grown adults into wheezing hyenas. This ranked list is your shortcut to the good stuff.
How This Ranking Works (So You Don’t Throw Tomatoes at My Monitor)
Because humor is subjective (your favorite joke might be my “please stop talking”),
this ranking blends several signals:
- Verified “funny” reputation across major U.S. gaming outlets and critics.
- Community consensus (including large voter-driven rankings and Steam discovery patterns).
- Steam staying power: games people keep replaying, quoting, and gifting to friends “as a joke” (the best kind of joke).
- Comedy density: games where humor isn’t just one quirky NPCit’s baked into the design.
- Variety of comedic flavors: satire, absurdism, dark comedy, slapstick, and party-game snark.
Note: all picks are available on Steam and playable on PC. Also note: if you disagree with a ranking,
you are morally obligated to start your rebuttal with “Listen, clown…” for maximum authenticity.
The Ranked List: 50+ Funniest PC Games on Steam
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe A weaponized narrator, existential office drama, and choices that spiral into comedy-fueled philosophy. You will laugh, then immediately question your life.
- Portal 2 A masterclass in deadpan chaos: immaculate writing, perfect comedic timing, and puzzle-solving that somehow makes you feel both smart and bullied.
- Portal A tighter, sharper dose of “science” and sarcasm. Short, iconic, and still one of the funniest ways to be psychologically roasted by a computer.
- Thank Goodness You’re Here! Pure slapstick absurdity: you’re dropped into a town of weirdos and chores that escalate like a comedy sketch that forgot to stop.
- West of Loathing Stick-figure brilliance with joke density through the roof. Every dialogue box is a tiny comedy grenade, and you keep pulling the pin.
- Shadows Over Loathing The funnier, darker cousin: more mysteries, more nonsense, more lines that make you pause just to laugh at a single adjective.
- Untitled Goose Game The most elegant comedic premise ever shipped: you are a goose. Your goal is chaos. Your reward is honking at the universe.
- South Park: The Stick of Truth Like playing a long South Park episode with RPG mechanics and unapologetic jokes that commit fully (for better or worse).
- South Park: The Fractured But Whole Superhero parody, wildly specific satire, and combat that’s better than it has any right to be for a game about children with capes.
- Human: Fall Flat Physics comedy at its finest. Every jump is a bad decision, every grab is a negotiation, and every co-op session becomes an improv show.
- Goat Simulator The original “broken on purpose” sandbox. It’s not about winningit’s about discovering ten new ways to accidentally ruin someone’s day.
- Goat Simulator 3 Bigger map, more nonsense, more reasons to ask “why can the goat do that?” and “why am I enjoying this?”
- Garry’s Mod A comedy generator disguised as a toolbox. Spawn something silly, break physics, accidentally invent a new genre of chaos.
- People Playground Darkly funny sandbox experimentation. It’s equal parts creativity and “I can’t believe I just did that,” with physics doing half the punchlines.
- Totally Accurate Battle Simulator Wobbly warriors, unhinged outcomes, and battles that look like history class performed by inflatable tube men.
- Stick Fight: The Game Tiny stick figures, huge betrayals. It’s the kind of game where “I’m sorry” is immediately followed by a rocket to the face.
- Gang Beasts Floppy brawls that feel like fighting in a bounce castle during an earthquake. The comedy is 90% physics, 10% screaming.
- Octodad: Dadliest Catch You are an octopus pretending to be a human dad. Movement is a sitcom. Everyday chores become heroic slapstick.
- Surgeon Simulator A medical drama performed by hands made of wet spaghetti. The “procedure” is optional; the disaster is guaranteed.
- I Am Bread You are bread. The world is hostile. The floor is lava. This is the funniest way to learn that countertops are basically mountains.
- Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy A rage game with a philosopher host. It’s funny in the way a roller coaster is funny: while you scream.
- Jazzpunk Surreal spy comedy where every scene feels like a joke you’re allowed to explore. Weird, wonderful, and proudly unserious.
- Trover Saves the Universe Crude, rapid-fire, and unapologetically loud. If you like comedic improv and alien nonsense, it delivers aggressively.
- High On Life A sci-fi shooter built around constant chatter, bizarre aliens, and the feeling that your gun is an annoying roommate (in a good way).
- BattleBlock Theater Co-op platforming plus cartoon cruelty. The narration alone is worth it, and the betrayal potential is chef’s-kiss evil.
- Castle Crashers A classic beat-’em-up with goofy animation, ridiculous weapons, and the kind of co-op silliness that escalates fast.
- The Henry Stickmin Collection Choose-your-fail comedy. Every “wrong” decision is a reward, and the callbacks are constant.
- Donut County Low-stress, high-charm absurdity. You’re a hole. You swallow everything. The characters roast each other while you commit snack-based crimes.
- Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion A cute game with a criminal heart. Fast jokes, silly quests, and an oddly relatable anti-paperwork energy.
- Pikuniku Wholesome weirdness with sharp comedic beats. It looks innocentthen it hits you with delightful absurd logic.
- Rain on Your Parade You’re a cloud. Your mission is minor inconvenience on a heroic scale. The comedy is in being an adorable menace.
- Trombone Champ Rhythm “game” where you aggressively honk your way through songs. You’ll laugh, then realize you’ve become a trombone goblin.
- Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator Competitive insult-building that turns grammar into violence. Best enjoyed with friends and dramatic fake outrage.
- Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast More insult chaos, more theatrical nonsense, and more reasons to shout “that doesn’t even make sense!” while losing badly.
- Katamari Damacy REROLL Rolling up the world should not be this funny, but it absolutely is. It’s cheerful absurdism with pure “what am I doing?” joy.
- Undertale Clever, heartfelt, and genuinely hilarious when it wants to beespecially if you enjoy subversion, meta jokes, and character-driven humor.
- DELTARUNE A warm, weird, laugh-out-loud ride with memorable characters and comedic timing that sneaks up on you mid-scene.
- Frog Detective: The Haunted Island Cozy comedy with tiny mysteries and big charm. It’s like a children’s book written by someone who loves silly awkwardness.
- Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard Even funnier and more absurd. The “detective work” is mostly vibing and interviewing oddballs.
- Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County Goofiest of the bunch: a caper full of friendly weirdos, low-stakes drama, and jokes that land with zero effort.
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered A timeless point-and-click comedy with cartoon logic, time travel shenanigans, and dialogue that still feels snappy.
- Grim Fandango Remastered Noir comedy in the Land of the Dead. It’s witty, stylish, and full of lines you’ll want to quote like you’re in a very cool play.
- The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition One of gaming’s funniest foundations: sharp writing, iconic characters, and jokes that hold up surprisingly well.
- Monkey Island 2: Special Edition More punchlines, bigger adventure energy, and the kind of comedic pacing modern games still study.
- Return to Monkey Island A modern return that remembers what matters: witty banter, charming weirdness, and comedic rhythm that feels like comfort food.
- Sam & Max Save the World Detective comedy with lovable lunacy. The cases are ridiculous, the duo is relentless, and the vibe is pure cartoon chaos.
- Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Even more surreal. If you like joke-per-minute writing and escalating nonsense, this is your ticket.
- Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse A sharper, darker edge with strong comedic set pieces. Still absurd, still charming, still ready to surprise you.
- Not For Broadcast Satire that bites: you “produce” live TV while everything collapses. The humor is dark, clever, and painfully relevant.
- Manual Samuel You control every bodily function manually. Breathing becomes a boss fight, blinking is strategy, and the jokes keep poking you mid-panic.
- Overcooked! 2 Co-op cooking that turns into a comedy of errors. You’ll scream about onions and then laugh because you’re holding a fire extinguisher… in space.
- Moving Out Physics-based furniture chaos with a “we are absolutely not insured” vibe. It’s a sitcom about lifting couches badly.
- Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes One person sees the bomb; everyone else sees panic. The funniest part is watching confident friends become instant poets of stress.
- Drawful 2 Party-game comedy where bad drawings become criminal evidence. The jokes aren’t scriptedyou make them accidentally (and that’s the best kind).
- The Jackbox Party Pack 3 A near-legendary pack for laughs (especially with a group). Quick jokes, clever prompts, and everyone pretending they’re funnier than they are.
- The Jackbox Party Pack 7 Modern Jackbox greatness with games that produce inside jokes in minutes. Great for game nights, streams, and friendly roast sessions.
- Worms W.M.D Turn-based cartoon warfare where the comedy is in the overkill. Nothing says “friendship” like a perfectly aimed bazooka betrayal.

of Experience: What Funny Steam Games Feel Like (And Why They Work)
Here’s the secret nobody tells you: the “funniest PC games on Steam” don’t all make you laugh the same way.
Some hit like a stand-up settight writing, punchlines, clever callbacks. Others are more like playing dodgeball in a room full of trampolines:
the humor comes from motion, mistakes, and the pure surprise of physics behaving like it’s had three energy drinks.
If you’ve ever watched a friend confidently explain a plan in Human: Fall Flatonly to immediately launch themselves off a ledge
while their character flops like a towelthen you already understand “emergent comedy.” Nobody wrote that joke. The game simply created a situation
where your human brain assumed competence… and the controls politely declined.
Comedy-writing games feel different. In Portal 2 and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe,
the laughs often land because the timing is surgical. You walk into a room, do a normal game thing, and the game responds with a line that’s so perfectly
placed you pausenot because you’re stuck, but because you’re giggling and trying not to miss the next beat. The best part is that you don’t have to be “good”
at these games to enjoy them. You can fail puzzles, wander off-track, and still get paid in punchlines.
Party games are their own species of funny. With Jackbox and Drawful 2, you’ll notice a pattern:
people laugh hardest when they’re slightly pressured and mildly embarrassed. A timer, a prompt, and an audience is basically a comedy microwave.
Suddenly your friendwho swears they’re “not creative”draws what can only be described as a haunted peanut, labels it “tax attorney,”
and the room loses it. The game isn’t the comedian. It’s the stage manager.
Want to maximize the laughs? Stack your session the way comedy works in real life:
keep rounds short, rotate who “leads,” and choose games that match your group’s humor tolerance.
If your crew loves clean silliness, Untitled Goose Game and Donut County are perfect.
If they love chaos, go straight to Overcooked! 2 and watch communication disintegrate into interpretive dance.
If they love sharp jokes and satire, pick something script-forward and let the writing do the heavy lifting.
Most importantly, remember that funny games are better when you stop trying to “optimize” them.
Comedy needs oxygen. Take the detour. Push the button you probably shouldn’t. Read the silly description. Wear the ridiculous cosmetic.
The best funny Steam games reward curiosityand the second-best reward is watching your friends pretend they meant to do that.
Conclusion: Your Next Laugh Is One Download Away
Steam is basically a comedy club with a keyboard: whether you want clever narration, savage satire, slapstick physics, or a co-op meltdown

and don’t be afraid to experimentbecause the funniest moments are often the ones nobody planned.
