My favorite is Ring King. Even as little kids, we used to laugh our asses off when the boxers appear to be "serviced" between rounds. LOL

How about Shaq-Fu? Whenever I "play" that game, I spend far too much time watching Shaq's grinning face up in the corner, and that little jig he does when he wins.
*does Shaq win jig*

King Of Fighters
Hilarious deaths in that game, especially Shingo's scream when he's defeated. The other day me and Nez were playing 2000, when he called he in this little kid stiker, and I was playing Maxima or whatever his name is and did a rocket punch which SLAMMED into the kid's face right as he landed. Omg that was funny as hell.

Illusion of Gaia for SNES. Without spoiling too much, let's just say that the moving death scene of a certain character is followed by the most horribly corny pun ever.

I didn't even think of that. Yes, Shingo might be the funniest fighting game character ever. He screams almost unintelligible Japanese when he's defeated, and sings horribly when he's victorious.
Knockout Kings 2001 has made me and a friend of mine cry tears from laughing.

Ground Zero Texas. i haven't played it a whole lot, But here is a funny part:
I was shooting everything in sight, After i killed the aliens in one area.(I didn't move to another area after i shot them) Then the general looked at me angriley, And said this: "You call THAT shooting? I'm going to call HQ and see wich hole they dug you OUT OF. Now shoot right!" ROFL It was so funny, Yet Mean at the same time. :roll: But if you saw how he was looking at me when he said it, You would agree.
Another one is Maniac mansion For NES. Once i took some radioactive water and put it in the microwave, Then used the microwave.. LOL Then i opened the microwave door, and jeff is like "Oh no! Radioactive steam! Ahieeeeeee!!" And the dance he did when he was dying was hilarious. ROFL The game has more funny things Hidden in. :)

One big source of unintentional humor in video games is poor voice acting. Who can forget Resident Evil ("You, the master of unlocking...") Shemue ("I'm looking for some sailors.") and nearly every TG16-CD game ever made?

the cutscenes with his girlfriend between stages where she continually insults you and later on her clothes start disappearing. the enemies are weird too. ninjas, people in sewers throwing balloons, wretches, and sticks of dynamite at you, sumo wrestlers, clowns, elvis empersonators (the guys in the sewer stages). its a funny game.

I think Punisher for PS2 is funny. The way you get to torture the criminals is funny. My favorite is the drill press.

Shenmue, the game is mean't to be so serious, but the voice acting is just classicly bad.

That reminds me, we used to make them sing in harmony when you shoot 5 or more in a row "Oh...OH! OH!!" and I'd look at my friend and say "We shot the Choir pratice!"
