If you like narrative games I would recommend “Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist”. It is very short (15 minutes), but it is good, and it is free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/409160
Made by ex Cartoon Network + horror devs. Game is basically a cartoon show you play. But with unique combat, a funny narrative, and game mechanics that often can make you laugh with how silly it is (if you like slapstick)
It’s two player co-op as well, with some killer VO.
Brian David Gilbert is one of the leads, so if their humor works for you, you should check it out! 😁
People (not me), seemed to really like Thank Goodness You’re Here. Undertale is a popular one. Date Everything seemed funny from what I saw of it, and if playing with friends things like peak, baby steps, or getting over it. Lots of different genres there, but steam also has a tag for comedy games. Even if you don’t end up buying it on steam, you can always check that out in case you don’t get enough options via comments.

Portal and Portal 2!
Some of the best comedy writing in any video game series, ever.
Featuring the single best joke ever told in a video game.
And I have no idea which specific joke you’re referring to because so many of them would qualify.
The joke that starts a new chapter…
Deadpool the game is super funny if you can get it. There is no legal way to get it.
Damm, if there’s no legal way I can’t play it… Just impossible…
I mean i can’t even remember when I first played it how did I acquire it… Arrr…
It’s rather dry humor but I had a pretty good amount of laughs and chuckles from “Thomas Was Alone”
Good joke games are rare.

Another silly game with lots of jokes in it is “Kraken Academy!!”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1158220
Have you got the deluxe edition of Stanley parable? It really got me laughing how much it jokes about sequels.
If you’re enjoying The Stanley Parable, you’ll probably like Do Not Press The Button To Destroy The Multiverse.
The Monkey Island games come to mind. A Bard’s Tale maybe?
You fight like a cow
I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle
Came in to say Monkey Island
Yarr
Same, just finished last week the Return to Monkey Island, after 20+ years played the Cursed Monkey Island.
This series is something special.
Mitchmanix has a whole channel playing through comedy games.
One of my personal favourites is The Deadly Tower of Monsters.
I haven’t got very far into it, but Rustler is a pretty funny top down view GTA spoof.
Ink Inside.

If you’re into some point and click, I might suggest the Sam and Max collection
The older Sam and Max games were great.
You mean all one of them?
Been a while, but I thought there were a few that came out back in the day (computer only).
There is one old: Hit the road
Then 3 seasons of Telltale’s Sam and Max
And apparently there is a VR title as well…

Seconding “Thank goodnees you’re here” and “Date everything”!
Thank goodness you’re here is utterly brilliant. Full of very British humour akin to the Viz comics.
Thank Goodness You’re Here is quite possibly the funniest game I’ve ever played - good suggestion.
Depending on when you were born: Class of '09
I’m not sure how it would hit for non-millenials but if you went to school in the early aughts the entire series is great.
Both MediEvil games on PS1. Yes they’re kind of dated now, but I’ll always have a soft spot for Sir Daniel Fortesque and his skeleton slapstick.
“There is no game”
