What? Magicka hasn't been brought up yet?
"Stay a while and listen, and I will tell you a story. A story of Dungeons and Dragons, of Orcs and Goblins, of Ghouls and Ghosts, of Kings and Quests, but most importantly -- of Wizards and Vamp -- Well... A story of Wizards." The opening line to the game as told by Vlad; who is not a vampire.
Hopefully the above line will give you an idea of what Magicka is about. It is a satire of the RPG genre as well as referential humor to gaming as well as a few pop culture references. But, it also has a great magic system under all the humor. Great game.
I would suggest getting a few friends to play it with you. It is far more fun with a few friends in co-op, which I use the term co-op very loosely. Friendly fire is on and remember, do not cross the streams. That would be bad. Yet, very funny. Death isn't a major problem and can come from both your allies and enemies very quickly.
You can find it on Steam and for now it is a PC only title. It also has a paid DLC that takes place in Vietnam. Yes, wizards with guns in the Vietnam War.

Deathspank(both games) and comic jumper are my suggestions. Although they're only on XBLA.Cool Welshy said:
Comic Jumper, Splosion Man, Portal 1 and 2, Conker's, and pretty much any Tim Schafer games. I always felt adventure games had the funniest writing like Sam and Max.
I'd like to tow the rope for the MediEvil games. Everybody loves Sir Daniel Fortisque, resurrected from the dead with one eye and no lower jaw.
You could also try Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment, it's the only game I've played where you smuggle baconburgers and pornography in space.
Haha this for sure.EvilPicnic said:
Continuing the immature humour, try Fable (Not Peter Molyneux's later version)
Destroy All Humans! and Destroy All Humans! 2.
Mostly 1950's and 60's political satire. Also being able to read the minds of humans is always a laugh.
