Definitely. It's one of the few games that have managed to make me laugh out loud... repeatedly.

There's many great humorous AGS games.... so hard to choose just one.
But that bieng said, I thought "Cougar's Quest for Freedom" was very hilarious  ;D

Oh, and perhaps a "currently in production" game I'm not at liberty to speak about right now, it may become one of the most humorous/funniest games once it's released.  ;)

And I shall third that. Some of the best games made with AGS were the Larry ones.

Larry Vales is still the top funniest game out there. Even after all these years. But after that...Ace Quest.

Funniest of all time, in my opinion, is still the first Larry Vales game. The funniest game I've played lately is probably Barn Runner (the one with the snow and the funny old man). The other one that was in two parts was good but not as funny as the christmas game.

I just wish Larry Vales 3 had been finished. The demo showed so much promise.

My two cents.

Larry Vales and JAPNA were the funniest, in my opinion. Almost every interaction response in both games made me laugh. :D

Definitely Ace Quest.

And Haddas' game whose name I cannot recall nor do I know if it was publicly released.

Larry Vales 1 & 2, no question about it. Short of Sam and Max, no other game has ever made me laugh as much as Larry did.

"Coffee is for closers" is a phrase I tormented my co-workers with for at least a month after I played Larry Vales 2.

And thanks to the nice person who mentioned Barn Runner! If I couldn't make funniest of all time, I'm tickled pink to make funny enough to be stored in short term memory.

Another Larry Vales fan here, the second one in particular was very funny.

Larry Vales is my altime funniest... "Points Kerching!", and the "Blade-run like heck" moments were special :)

JAPACA made me laugh, especially the introduction... what ever happened to that game's sequals?

Captain Muchly Drinks Bleach was funny, but it was more of a "laugh at" than a "laugh with", the idea of it all and the shortness of the overall quest was rather amusing, I hope it was intended to be that way.

Sure, Larry Vales games(especially the first) are very funny, but I also liked so muche the humour of Cirque du Zale. I found strange that no one mentioned it....probably Kinoko and I have the same sense of humour.

MillsJRoss productions certainly portray the best obscene comedy..! But you've got another loyal Larry Vales comedy-fan here.

The child in me likes games with slapstick (ala Teen Agent), yeah, they make me laugh - but I've yet to see any games made in AGS with slapstick in them that truly stick out.

Ah yes, Cirque, that was funny, i loved the beginning part... "so you'll save my daughter and in return I shall send you home....." - "nope!" very blunt and unexpected, yet funny all the same.

I also though Day of the Testicle was rather funny in a m0ds sort of way, that made me laugh. And noone has mentioned 1337 Pete or whatever it was called, i liked the bit with the chalk outline of a tellytubby.

Anywhoodle, i've said enough.

JAPNCA = Just another point&click adventure. There was gonna be a sequel. Might still be a sequel, but the author said he was very busy at the time. That was... well, a year ago, or something. JAPNCA was also the first adventure game I've contributed to, so it always has a special place in my heart.

EDIT: Oh the game I made? http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=1851.60

Thank you!

If Barn Runner gets a laugh out of anyone then all the work was worth it!

Permanent Daylight is one of the funniest AGS games I've played. Also DDDDD was quite funny. :P

I thought QFG 4 1/2 had some really funny moments.  Also Principles of Evil had some funny stuff.

Recently I played two online games (not AGS) that I thought were freaking hilarious.  THey were made by Pinhead Games... Brain Hotel and Case of the Crabs.  The voice actors in those were really funny.
