What matters with Funny games
Funny games work because the humour is built into how you play, not just into cutscenes. Sometimes it comes from writing, like a sarcastic AI narrating your every move, and sometimes from physics, when wobbly characters fall over in ways nobody planned. On Switch it helps to know which kind you are after: dialogue-driven comedy rewards close attention and reading, while slapstick games are better for quick sessions and for laughing with other people in the room.
When choosing, think about whether you want to play alone or with friends, and how much reading you are up for. Portal 2 is a strong all-rounder, with GLaDOS and Wheatley delivering sharp lines in the solo story and a separate co-op campaign built for two. Borderlands 2 suits groups, since its irreverent humour and loot hunting are at their most chaotic in four-player co-op. If you prefer something you can pick up for ten minutes, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator lets you set up absurd battles and watch wobbly armies collide.
For story-heavy laughs, South Park: The Stick of Truth plays like a long episode of the show, though its crude humour is very much for adults. Undertale is a gentler choice: its quirky monsters and option to end every fight without violence make it funny and surprisingly touching. Fall Guys covers the party end of the scale, with slapstick failure as the main attraction.
