The Funniest Games to Play on April Fools' Day

Most video games are built around overcoming certain challenges, running around, or jumping, but there are also games that are comedic at their core. From Donkey Kong's kidnapping animation to Uncharted's witty wordplay, many games feature fun, laugh-out-loud moments. Sometimes it's the humor in the story, other times it's just the friendly competition with our friends that makes a game entertaining. In this article we'll share the most enjoyable games you can play on April Fools' Day! Here's the list of the funniest and most entertaining games:

The Funniest and Most Entertaining Games of 2023!

Overcooked (2016)

You may remember this game from Ceyda and Fırat, the couple who posted a video of themselves playing it together. We recommend trying this cooking game, which you'll play in a hopelessly impractical kitchen with friends who are usually constantly on the move! Everyone rushing back and forth around the kitchen non-stop can put you in a tight spot, but that's exactly the joke of the game! Just don't set anything on fire...

Hitman (Series, 2000-)

This game, which looks like a serious assassination simulator at its core, often makes you feel more like Mr. Bean than James Bond thanks to its flexible systems. If you've ever tried to secretly kill a foreign agent in the game, you'll understand exactly what we mean. In short, the game's general story goes like this: Agent 47 (Hitman) is a clone created from the DNA of the world's most dangerous criminals. He was first created on September 5, 1964 in Romania, in an underground cloning lab, by Dr. Wolfgang, as part of a super-assassin-for-hire operation aimed at building an army from that DNA.

South Park: Stick of Truth (2014)

Anyone who watched South Park back in its heyday will understand why this game is funny. Thanks to close collaboration with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, you'll get a childish and cheerful gaming experience. The game's story is about a year-long war between humans and elves. If you succeed, you'll become the savior of South Park and get the chance to cement your social status at South Park Elementary.

Goat Simulator (2014)

You're a goat in this game! Yes, you heard that right :) The game turns you into a goat wrecking barbecues and destroying museums in a glitchy urban environment. Played by more than 2.5 million people, we recommend discovering this game today, on April Fools' Day itself...

Grand Theft Auto (Series, 1996-)

What? GTA, funny? We can practically hear you saying it :) Every installment takes place in a horrifying moral vacuum where violence and high-speed vehicular chaos are just a button press away. The delightful chaos that erupts when open-world settings, innocent pedestrians, diligent police officers and freely obtainable firearms collide will keep you coming back for more.

The Sims (Series, 2000–)

One of the most iconic PC games of all time, The Sims gives players an incredibly wide range of freedom. We can shape our Sims however we like in the game and make them do whatever we want. Naturally, that can produce some pretty funny and entertaining moments.

Jazzpunk

We're putting a game that revels in weirdness on this list: from its art style to the way you sometimes interact with the world using a giant finger that pops up when needed, we can safely say it delivers a pretty strange gaming experience. Throughout the game you'll use sand dollars as cash, sneak into a Soviet embassy, and run into a caricature of Hunter S. Thompson.

Portal 2

While Portal is a great game, Portal 2 is much more of a comedy game. Where Still Alive was poignant, Portal 2 brings in Stephen Merchant to add a fantastic sense of comedy to the game in the form of Wheatley. It's up to you to combine the game's fantastic sense of humor with the series' brilliant puzzle design and great sense of place, resulting in a legendary game that's even better with co-op!
