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.

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.

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.
