Favorite joke in gaming would have to be in Portal 2. Glados: "Well. This is the part where he kills us." Wheatley: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you." *Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You* Achievement: *The Part Where He Kills You* "This is the part" Music Title: *The Part Where He Kills You*
For me the best comedian in gaming is Cave Johnson from Portal 2. For example: "To those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is that we're postponing those tests indefinetly, good news is that we've got a much better test for you, fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line, you'll know when the test starts."
Hit the nail on the head about what makes the companion cube so great. The designers obviously had a level idea where they wanted you to use the same box throughout, but needed to tell the player to take it along with them. So they wrote this incredibly memorable joke, and the cube is now an icon of gaming. That's problem solving in game development that you almost never see elsewhere, and only comes around when you have some very smart writers.
And that goes with the incenerator too. The initial problem was that they needed to teach how incinerators worked before the final boss so they made you euthanaze your best friend.
I just love to see a goofy ragdoll in TF2, even when I die the fact that I see my ragdoll fly unrealistically far from a melee hit makes me less mad and more amused.
once while playing tf2 I fucked up a jump and fell a comically small distance, dying due to low health, cue a a scout in the distance saying "nice job" as he ran past. Best clip I ever got, always gets me.
You setting the woman who didn't wanna sign the petition on fire made me feel bad and a little sick at first. Then you asked her to sign the petition again and I chuckled lmao

The joke with the longest build-up has to be in Half Life, surely. Right at the beginning of the first game where you ruin Magnusson's microwave meal. Only near the very end of Episode 2 does he finally decide to remind you of it... Started in 1998 and concluded in 2007. Can never help but chuckle when he almost forgives you.
Yeah but that wasn't that great for me because it obviusly wasn't planned in 1998 so it feels more like a reference than an big planned joke. Still the longest build-up.
My favourite part of RE7 that really broke that "surrealism barrier" or such so to speak, was when you finish the first light puzzle as Ethan. Right as you begin to wonder what kind of person would have such a thing in their home, Ethan says "Who builds this shit?" which made lose it. I love that it comments of the ludicrousness of something that has been so long running in a series now that it's viewed by a new generation of players
I think another point can be made about ragdoll physics in games too. If there was to be a comedic movie scene about some guy just running people like you'd do in GTA5, the whole thing just wouldn't play out unless you were in a setting like a game such as GTA. It's less so on the fact that it's actually funny to watch, but more so that you're the one doing it. I'll groan when some movies try to make a scene funny with an out of place slapstick and unrealistic moment, where some dude goes flying 70 miles away because they mildly tapped the hood of a car while it was moving 1 mile an hour. But i'll wheeze my ass off when some combine soldier french kisses a grenade I threw and within the span of 3 seconds their leg bends a full 90 degree angle and they're just gone. Great video!
One of my favourite things like this in a game, even though technically it wasn't intended, was the skyrim space program. Seeing your follower get blasted into the sky by a giant just hits my funny bone in a different way. Same goes for similar bugs in the game, like putting a corpse on a sawn log before it disappears.
I'd add another genre of comedy that is exclusive to games: complex rule-based comedy. Think games like Worms, Magicka, Kerbal Space Program, and Overcooked. These games have rule sets that allow for comedy to naturally happen. Ususally the rules are complex and strict, but understandable on an intuitive level. So when something goes wrong, the player(s) can predict it going wrong from the preceding conditions. For example in Worms when a player causes an explosion, which causes a mine to bounce back onto their own worm, who was standing next to a cliff. The rules of why this happens are all clear, and the unintended consequences were inevitable as soon as they let go of the space bar. These games also have high intensity situations, where a lot of earlier gameplay can hinge around these moments. For example returning from a long mission in Kerbal, and noticing you've put on a wrong type of parachute. The tension of the situation is defused by something ridiculous. It's a little like slapstick comedy, where you see a banana peel on the ground, and Charlie Chaplin running towards it. The anticipation and (explosive) resolution is funny. While films can have this anticipation and reward mechanic, they can't have it happen organically.
Portal 2's "the part where he kills you" joke is one of my favourite jokes in gaming >glados says "this is the part where he kills us" >wheatly says "thiis is the part where i kill you" >the chapter being called "the part where he kills you" >getting an achievment called "the part where he kills you" >the song thats playing is called "the part where he kills you" >THE TEXTURES HAVE FILE NAMES SAYING "THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU" >he doesnt kill you
Portal 2 was the game that got me into gaming when I was entering middle school, and because of all the lore and story around it, I never realized until now that the companion cube is a joke in the first game.
Like that moment when I went through an Oblivion gate. Spent heck knows how long fighting Daedra, cuz I was still a low lvl, and out of nowhere Baurus shows up being like "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU". Then he just gave me a mission and effed off xP
I feel like you kind of glossed over how clever those audio logs in Prey were were. The game uses them to tutorialize you, with Jessica's exasperated instructions teaching you how to operate various equipment around the station. These are already funny, but they can land in a variety of ways, from the player bring glad someone was stupid enough to have to ask for instructions every time he tried to do his job to feeling like an idiot themselves trying to do it without finding the log first, and they all land just as well. Even if you don't end up investigating Grant's body, the logs are still amusing on their own. It's very difficult to account for for player behavior when setting up jokes, but Prey does this brilliantly by making them work in any scenario
Ragdoll physics are so funny to me that most of the time I've spent in TF2 has been trying to killbind at the right time to make it look like my class tripped and fell
Probably my favorite occurrence ever in regards to game humor is when AIs screw eachother over unintentionally, because of the physics engine and their suboptimal calculations, via grenade Like when they throw a grenade in a game like Garry's Mod, there's alot that can go wrong and sometimes one combine soldier out of his squad didn't get the fucking memo that somebody just threw a grenade into the room he went into Or when an npc gets stuck in the back of the head with a plasma grenade, by their own ally, in a Halo game Hell, grenade fuck-ups are some of the funniest occurrences i've ever witnessed in all of media It's the perfect gamble of "What could go wrong?", especially when you include those ridiculous moments when the physics engine really makes the extraordinary happen and makes a grenade go flying in a direction nobody anticipated, to the dismay of the poor sucker who catches it with their head
There's this absolutely hilarious bug in Maximum Action that can cause grenades you fire from your under barrel M16 attachment to bounce off enemies, seeing one go soaring through the air only to whack another grunt in their "soon to be former" face NEVER gets old.
7:38 that just blew my mind. i have almost always put the cube up in the shelf and teetered on the edge of the first button so both doors were open. have i been doing that wrong this whole time?
Starts video essay talking about the subtleties of comedy, dives straight into how funny it is to run people over and explode heads with shotguns. ohhh kayyy0
clicked on this because it was recommended, enjoyed the entire video, read a comment saying this deserves more views, then proceeded to be shocked at how underrated your channel is. see you in a couple months when you blow up. subbed
I remember in my first hotline miami playtrhought when I tried to stab this guy with a shotgun missed and ackwardly stared at eachother for like a second till the dude shot me
The first tearful laugh I can remember from my gaming years, which reminds me a lot of grant, is the jumping wizard in morrowind (combined with my own stupidity of immediately using the spell).
I enjoyed the gamer humor in Far Cry Blood Dragons. When Rex Powercolt expresses disbelief at having to do a tutorial by yelling, "Just let me play the gaaaame!" Or when he is taken aback by the doctor calling people who hate videogame, "fucking idiots". "WHOA, hey..." When the blood dragon with the laser helmet spouts memes like "I'm firing my lasers" or comments, "this is funny, and sad" as you effortlessly massacre badguys in the endgame to be treated to a nuclear missile fireworks display. It's so silly but it also totally takes the piss out of games.
I can't believe we never thought of making a liquid that completely rebinds and gives us complete control of our limbs after being completely severed, this is the magic of games that doesn't give a crap about realism
One of my most recent favorite jokes in a video game is Hitman 2. In the columbia mission when you disguise as the tattoo artist and your "client"/ target tell you to "Do what you do best." 47's reply "You got it."
My two favorite jokes in gaming are the "Fuck You!" Door in Fallout 3, and the bit with Mason and Reznov in the Black Ops 2 ending concert. That last one I'm still fucking laughing about as I'm typing it, but the first I laughed for literally a solid 10 minutes at.
Okay, here’s MY favorite comedy moment in games: My friends and I were playing Just Cause 2, just ducking around as you tend to do in the game. Tuk Tuks, or the r******d lovechild of a moped and Reliant Robin, were everywhere in the game, just driving people or goods around. Anyway, it was my turn to play, and I’d just stolen a supercar from some random npc. I was making my way across one of the massive bridges that join the main cities of the game. We had a thing where we’d yell “Tuk Tuk!” just before destroying one. I found myself rocketing into a Tuk Tuk at full speed. The three of us erupted into laughter as the poor bastard FLEW off the bridge with way more kinetic energy than it should have, and presumably exploded when it hit the water.
Oh my God I was playing JC2 with my son. We had just commandeered an armored car and shot a tuk tuk. The round landed just behind the rear wheel and the explosion sent the driver rocketing 200 meters away, screaming the whole time. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard
This might be my favorite channel yet... Entertaining content, no sponsors or Patreon or "remember to like and subscribe"... It's perfect, you definitely *earned* my like and subscription, without begging for it :D
my favorite joke is the part where he kills you; POtatos says it, Wheatley says it, the chapter is named it, you get an achievement with the same name, and the music is also named the same
There's so many good moments in gaming that make me laugh my ass off. The "gordon, that dropship is coming right for us!" is now near the top of my list because of this video. Another good one has to be in Portal 2. @Omega Gaming mentioned this already but I love it too. The massive door in old aperture that just opens up to the normal door. Kills me every time I play the game. Oh and of course in HL:A when you open the door just for the zombie to be eaten and plopped right on the ground. Ragdoll humour. I love it.
My favorite joke in HL:A is the entirety of Russel's voice lines. One of my favorites is when he actually starts to say something serious, acknowledging how much pressure Alyx is under, then reveals that he just wanted to complain about Alyx almost damaging the gravity gloves by trying to save Eli.
"Here's your new friend. It's a box. This box has a heart on it. Humans associate hearts with love. Love has been dispensed. Please continue testing." I dunno, your description of it kinda makes it twice as funny.
One of my fav jokes is in portal 2 (and 1 i think) when the anouncer tells you that the aperture science emancipation grid may have emancipated your ear tubes
My favourite one has to be: "Ugh, I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church." "You brought a hooker to church?" "Why not?" I love Uncharted and their one-liners.
postal 2 the comedy of the petition is kicking in peoples doors or smashing through windows and asking them to sign your petition as they scream and cower in confused fear
One of my favourite jokes from a game come from Rayman 2: Basically you need to "sneak" in a robo-pirates base and to do so you need to disguise as a bush, which you do poorly, considering that your nose and eras stick out of it. So you try to enter the base, and the pirates see bush, to which they response is: "It's just a bush with a big nose and ears, let them through". The joke is funny by itself, but it gets better. After a few levels, you completely forgot about that, and... bang! In a corner of one of the levels, there is a bush that has berries that look exactly like your big nose and ears. 10/10
To this day there is no other game that does comedy as good as The Stanley Parable! Just the line "Stanley was so bad at following directions it's a miracle he wasn't fired years ago" got me giggling like a kid again just like the first time I heard it.
I'm surprised to see Prey on here! One of my favorite games but I rarely see it talked about. From things like the Reployers that everybody wants but nobody understands (that were actually an inside joke from the devs), the everyday jokes and activities you can read about in emails and notes, to even Glooey McGlooface. I thought it had a really well developed sense of humor that worked with the absurdity of certain parts of the game. It almost acts like comic relief.

Agreed. This video is a joke. That’s the only funny thing here. Maybe the drop ship part
Something felt horribly wrong about this video. Thank you for putting words on it.
The dropship thing was hilarious tho'.
this video is just fuel for fearful boomers who think gamers are just sociopaths
if theres one thing i learned from this video, its that you can pee on yourself to put out flames in postal
clicked on this because it was recommended, enjoyed the entire video, read a comment saying this deserves more views, then proceeded to be shocked at how underrated your channel is.
see you in a couple months when you blow up. subbed
that is exactly what happened to me
Keep making these I can totally see your channel blowing up from these videos.
You were right in that
CORRECT
Diesel my man, I didn't know you were a man of culture
I think we have wildly different senses of humor
I respect that
3:08 wait you just peed on yourself to extinguish the fire? i just realised
any game with a peeing mechanic is a winner
Pissing is an important gameplay mechanic that will save your life!
Death Stranding ruins that theory
@@jamesgatz5301 oh I think Duke Nukem Forever ruined it long ago
*GORDON, YOU ARE IN PRISION* ... **Walks away**
'Glados then drops the character a companion cube, funniest shit I've ever seen'
Ah, yes, being a psychopath in games-the absolute c o m e d y.
first comment I found that wasn’t positive. thank god 😭 this was the stupidest set of arguments he could’ve made
This video is excellent, thank you very much for making this. That Prey story made my day.
Best joke in Portal 2: Wheatley.
Great video, and this is what I gathered from it:
Direct comedy: well-written script
Indirect comedy: funny gameplay
Surreal comedy: Mods
Tbh G-man sounds like he’s bout to shit his pants laughing in the intro sequence, which put a grin on my face.
I remember in my first hotline miami playtrhought when I tried to stab this guy with a shotgun missed and ackwardly stared at eachother for like a second till the dude shot me
I don't know why but I love that some games use tedium as a joke, like taking the stairs in Final Fantasy 7.
Bruh i have been playing garrys mod for 5 years and have 1000 hours in it and somehow I didn’t know you could inflate npcs 14:40
I played gmod for 10 minutes and figured that out by fucking around with stuff lmaoo
since you had no clue about inflation in a game you now have had your furry licence revoked
I just want to know how to bone manipulate ragdolls
get this: i didnt know there was an online server browser until a couple years ago
transfactory Oh this is being curated for sure, an example of the internet culture and lighthearted jokes on weird subjects.
The first tearful laugh I can remember from my gaming years, which reminds me a lot of grant, is the jumping wizard in morrowind (combined with my own stupidity of immediately using the spell).
There's something, really, really wrong about this video.
Not enough views considering the quality of the video.
I think there's something really wrong with me! Portal 2, Chapter 9, The Part Where He Kills You (or maybe Chapter 8, The Itch)
@@pepejw Yeah, chapter nine.
I enjoyed the gamer humor in Far Cry Blood Dragons. When Rex Powercolt expresses disbelief at having to do a tutorial by yelling, "Just let me play the gaaaame!"
Or when he is taken aback by the doctor calling people who hate videogame, "fucking idiots".
"WHOA, hey..."
When the blood dragon with the laser helmet spouts memes like "I'm firing my lasers" or comments, "this is funny, and sad" as you effortlessly massacre badguys in the endgame to be treated to a nuclear missile fireworks display.
It's so silly but it also totally takes the piss out of games.
I can't believe we never thought of making a liquid that completely rebinds and gives us complete control of our limbs after being completely severed, this is the magic of games that doesn't give a crap about realism
The story of Grant Lockwood had me in stitches. This video is gold.
17:00
I legit had a straight stern face, bracing to not laugh...
And that scream mess me up
*2 dogs fly into the air in the same direction
Voice over: "Sending 20 dogs flying into the sky in all directions"
He peed on himself to prevent himself from burning at 2:18. Wow.
"Goerdan! That drapship's comin' right for us!
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
18:05 Oh, thanks, that was really useful information.
One of my most recent favorite jokes in a video game is Hitman 2.
In the columbia mission when you disguise as the tattoo artist and your "client"/ target tell you to "Do what you do best."
47's reply
"You got it."
“20 hours for a thorough first timer”
*spent 41 hours in my first playthrough*
Portal: Seemingly serious, very comedic
Team Fortress 2: Very silly, but has deep story
"Pootis Spencer Here."
Grant's the kinda guy who'd think "m/s" was minutes per second.
My two favorite jokes in gaming are the "Fuck You!" Door in Fallout 3, and the bit with Mason and Reznov in the Black Ops 2 ending concert. That last one I'm still fucking laughing about as I'm typing it, but the first I laughed for literally a solid 10 minutes at.
Okay, here’s MY favorite comedy moment in games: My friends and I were playing Just Cause 2, just ducking around as you tend to do in the game. Tuk Tuks, or the r******d lovechild of a moped and Reliant Robin, were everywhere in the game, just driving people or goods around. Anyway, it was my turn to play, and I’d just stolen a supercar from some random npc. I was making my way across one of the massive bridges that join the main cities of the game. We had a thing where we’d yell “Tuk Tuk!” just before destroying one. I found myself rocketing into a Tuk Tuk at full speed. The three of us erupted into laughter as the poor bastard FLEW off the bridge with way more kinetic energy than it should have, and presumably exploded when it hit the water.
Oh my God I was playing JC2 with my son. We had just commandeered an armored car and shot a tuk tuk. The round landed just behind the rear wheel and the explosion sent the driver rocketing 200 meters away, screaming the whole time.
I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard
idk who graded your essays in school but they gave you way too much confidence
This is awesomely made, i actually got caught off guard when i saw it only had 6k views
This might be my favorite channel yet... Entertaining content, no sponsors or Patreon or "remember to like and subscribe"... It's perfect, you definitely *earned* my like and subscription, without begging for it :D
When you realise he found a companion cube funny.
2 things I get from this video:
1. games can be funny(shocker)
2. you have bad humor
17:06 you underestimate the amount of time modding takes.
Though I wouldn't put it past this mod.
My favourite joke in Portal 2 is Cave Johnson's ranting and raving about Black Mesa stealing the idea for the Portals.
Are we not gonna talk about how he gains pleasure by ramming his car into pedestrians?
No, because everyone’s done it and if you say you haven’t; you’re lying.
It's not real so, what's the issue?
my favorite joke is the part where he kills you; POtatos says it, Wheatley says it, the chapter is named it, you get an achievement with the same name, and the music is also named the same
There's so many good moments in gaming that make me laugh my ass off.
The "gordon, that dropship is coming right for us!" is now near the top of my list because of this video.
Another good one has to be in Portal 2. @Omega Gaming mentioned this already but I love it too. The massive door in old aperture that just opens up to the normal door. Kills me every time I play the game.
Oh and of course in HL:A when you open the door just for the zombie to be eaten and plopped right on the ground. Ragdoll humour. I love it.
My favorite joke in HL:A is the entirety of Russel's voice lines. One of my favorites is when he actually starts to say something serious, acknowledging how much pressure Alyx is under, then reveals that he just wanted to complain about Alyx almost damaging the gravity gloves by trying to save Eli.
"Here's your new friend. It's a box. This box has a heart on it. Humans associate hearts with love. Love has been dispensed. Please continue testing."
I dunno, your description of it kinda makes it twice as funny.
3:47 gman, is that you?
G-Man: Yessss... What do you want, sssstranger?

Woman: *on fire and dying*
Postal dude: "look, just sign this stupid petition, I've got stuff to do!"
This guy has such extreme low standards for jokes, it's actually impressive.
im almost in awe, imagine having this much fun...
One of my fav jokes is in portal 2 (and 1 i think) when the anouncer tells you that the aperture science emancipation grid may have emancipated your ear tubes
My favourite one has to be:
"Ugh, I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church."
"You brought a hooker to church?"
"Why not?"
I love Uncharted and their one-liners.
Portal had so many amazing jokes, Cave Johnson’s over the top lemon speech paired with Glados’ enthusiastic agreement takes the cake for me though
"how about another video game joke Murray?"
postal 2 the comedy of the petition is kicking in peoples doors or smashing through windows and asking them to sign your petition as they scream and cower in confused fear
Wait what? I thought that crying couple from Half-life 2 was just the same couple that you meet over and over...
Can I just say, the music choices in this video are on point
"Grand theft auto 4..."
"...as a kid"
I'm too old for youtube now bye
One of my favourite jokes from a game come from Rayman 2:
Basically you need to "sneak" in a robo-pirates base and to do so you need to disguise as a bush, which you do poorly, considering that your nose and eras stick out of it.
So you try to enter the base, and the pirates see bush, to which they response is: "It's just a bush with a big nose and ears, let them through".
The joke is funny by itself, but it gets better.
After a few levels, you completely forgot about that, and... bang! In a corner of one of the levels, there is a bush that has berries that look exactly like your big nose and ears.
10/10
You have a very....... Interesting sense of humor.
To this day there is no other game that does comedy as good as The Stanley Parable! Just the line "Stanley was so bad at following directions it's a miracle he wasn't fired years ago" got me giggling like a kid again just like the first time I heard it.
I'm surprised to see Prey on here! One of my favorite games but I rarely see it talked about. From things like the Reployers that everybody wants but nobody understands (that were actually an inside joke from the devs), the everyday jokes and activities you can read about in emails and notes, to even Glooey McGlooface. I thought it had a really well developed sense of humor that worked with the absurdity of certain parts of the game. It almost acts like comic relief.
