Call of Juarez Bound in Blood that game is really funny because the two brother are always talking and the bonus flashbacks
Portal, that first playthrough was the funniest thing in recent memory.
Sam and Max, when it's moving along, and not stuck forever on an obscure puzzle...
I mean, between Bosco, Max, Jimmy Two-Teeth, and even Sam, the lulz abound!
Brutal Legend had some hilarious moments as well, especially, pretty much, the ENTIRE opening sequence until you hit the open world area was downright brilliant. The entire Druid Plow bit had me in stitches. That, and the prayer to the dark gods. Awesome!
Scribblenauts, actually, just because I found myself LOL'ing at the ridiculous solutions I came up with that actually worked from time to time. A brilliant game, when it works right...

As many have said; Borderlands,
Portal,
Monkey Island, The Curse of, The Tales of, the Secret of,
Others haven't said but I think they are funny:
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Try to take it seriously
Fable 2, "The time is now; very late!" & "Wakey wakey, it's day break-y". Also, my wife loved me more for giving her thumbs up than giving her a Diamond. It's pretty funny, sometimes.
Also, fun drinking game. Play FFVII Dirge of Cerberus (the shooty one) on easy mode and take a shot every time someone says "sorry". The only character who doesn't apologise in that game is Barrak. He's too manly for apologies.

Portal obviously.
Also, most of the Ratchet & Clank games are rather hilarious. Borderlands has lots of funny stuff as well. I haven't played HotD Overkill yet though, which I heard was mind blowingly funny.

Let's see. Supposed to be funny: Space Rangers 2. "We want you to represent our planet (My species does not exist on the planet in question) in a stadium rock concert next week! Here's a paltry sum. You'll need to teach yourself to sing. Oh, and try and scavenge some instruments. I think there's a bassist in that pub over there. Good luck! Oh yes, and if you don't win, we're going to consider you a public enemy; if you ever show your face on this planet again, we'll throw you in jail, whereupon you must earn your freedom by winning a fist-fighting tournament. Toodles!"
Not supposed to be funny: Dragon Age: Origins. Much like the Call of Juarez video posted above. Wait a second, I'll go and copy/paste some words I am writing in the past, on a different forum.
My experience of Dragon Age:
I want a huge bushy red beard with a magnificent moustache! Right. Hmm, if I look from the right angle I can see fresh air between my facial hair and my face. So I'm wearing one of those fake beards that hang over my ears. That's cool, I guess.
Hell, this game looks like ass. Oh, the resolution is set to minimum. Let's beef it up a little. Maximum should do fine. right, let's talk to this old creepy fellow.
"Hello? Don't you have business to attend to?"
Oh dear. There don't seem to be any dialogue options. Apparently this resolution is pushing half the UI off the screen. We stare at each other for about twenty seconds. My expression is completely blank; I stare at this man, unblinking, saying not a word. Time drags on, and the situation becomes awkward. Well, I'll mash keys until stuff happens.
"Bah. It's a trouble of middle-aged men. A youngster like you wouldn't understand."
Uh, okay. Mash more buttons.
"Why thank you! It's... *looks away bashfully* it's really quite unnecessary."
Right. Did I misclick and put all my points into the 'chatting up middle-aged men' stat? I think I'd prefer to fix my resolution before this goes any further.
Like a powerful wizard, I fix my resolution.
So I'm on my way to go and hang with my brother, right? And some friendly fellow skips up to me and tells me to restrain my mighty war dog, who is loose in the pantry. I join him in this quest, and learn that the pantry is filled with giant rats. We battle the rats with swords and shields. As the last one falls, my new friend looks at me.
"Don't tell the matron; she'll go spare if she finds out!"
Both of us, and the dog, are coated head to toe in fresh blood. It is as though we slew the rats with a blender. Enormous, dead rats are scattered around the room like we burst a dead-rat pillow. The matron has been waiting for us one foot away from the other side of the door. Righto, I say, we'll keep it a secret.
The matron seems completely unfazed by the sight of us emerging from the pantry spattered with blood. She tells me a story about a dog (one I already know because she has never, since my childhood, stopped telling me this story) and lets me be on my way.
I leave the kitchen, and tell everyone I see about the rats. Nobody wants to hear. I encounter my mother, and tell her dinner guests that the kitchen is infested with giant rats. Faux pas. She is not happy. So, my character is decided: In this game I will be playing a dim-witted fighting dude. I will dutifully agree with everything I am told, asking no questions and avoiding all unnecessary exposition [spoiler: it turns out you can't do this].
Things Dragon Age has taught me:
'Quest' is a much grander word than 'odd job'. People need something done, they go and put a quest up on the quest board. Has anyone seen my dog? Does any noble hero wish to take on the weighty quest of finding my dog? He's probably two doors down, like usual.
When people say 'tis and 'twas, it sounds contrived and completely NOW REALLY SIR THERE ARE LADIES PRESENTing stupid. And 'twill. SHUT UP MORRIGAN I WILL STEP ON YOUR STUPID FAT NECK
Roleplaying in roleplaying games is hard. IT IS A BAD THING TO PRETEND TO OFFER MULTIPLE DIALOGUE CHOICES BUT FORCE THE PLAYER TO PICK A CERTAIN ONE IN ORDER TO PROGRESS

I'd have to say The Swordless Ninja, by Berzerk Studios. The sounds that little guy made were awesome!
Conker: Live & Reloaded
ohhh, I'm so mature
oh, and sometimes the splicers on BioShock made me chuckle to myself

Ratchet and Clank 3
Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence as the best comedy duo in gaming, Captain Quark's finest hour, a furry Bill Clinton, robot soldiers with US army ranger accents and..........the duck gun!
