AnimalMother117: This clip from Ratchet & Clank (2016) lives in a bit of infamy I'd imagine but it baffles the mind. Add onto that the amateurish animation and it makes it feel even more hollow and lazy.

Darvond: That was the one based on the okayish movie, innit?
Sorry, the omnipresent purple dot makes it hard to notice actual replies. Yes it is based on the movie.

babark: Someone in this thread has mentioned Deponia positively, but I have to say, that entire game (and likely entire series) is an example of humour falling flat, and also possibly subjective cultural problems.

I've had Germans who played it in their own language tell me it actually is funny, but when they try to explain it, it sounds just as stupid.

Maybe Germans as a whole have a broken sense of humour? :P
It gets worse.

Deponia turns into this weird racist tract by the the time the game is done with itself.

Rufus gets a black woman to dance like a monkey and sells her, then there's the misogyny. And she's [another character] literally called Goal...
