Funny games work because the humour is built into how you play, not just into cutscenes. A narrator who reacts to your every disobedience, a physics engine that turns a battle into slapstick or a villain who insults you while you solve puzzles can stay with you long after the credits. The first question is what kind of laughs you want: sharp, written comedy, crude and irreverent jokes, or pure physical chaos with no plot at all.
Think about who you are playing with, too. Portal 2 suits a solo player who enjoys clever dialogue, since GLaDOS and Wheatley carry the story, and its separate co-op campaign works well for two friends who like puzzles. Borderlands 2 is better suited to a group, as its loud loot hunting and Handsome Jack shine in four-player co-op. If you like stories that bend around your decisions, The Stanley Parable turns obeying or defying its narrator into a string of absurd endings, though it is listed only for PC here.
Pace and tone vary a lot. South Park: The Stick of Truth plays like an interactive episode with crude humour and timed attacks in turn-based fights, so skip it if that style puts you off. Totally Accurate Battle Simulator offers short, chaotic sessions where wobbly armies clash. Undertale pairs gentle, quirky comedy with fights you can finish without violence.
