Quiplash Prompts Raccoon-Like Work Ethic
One of the funniest games I’ve ever played is Jackbox Party Pack—specifically Quiplash. It’s all about coming up with the most ridiculous or clever responses to prompts, and when you play with close friends or coworkers, the humor gets really personal and off-the-wall. I remember one round where the prompt was “Worst thing to say during a job interview,” and someone answered, “I prefer to work alone… like a raccoon.” We laughed so hard we had to pause the game. It’s those unexpected, absurd answers that make it unforgettable every time.

Goose Game Steals Glasses and Hearts
Untitled Goose Game — hands down the funniest chaos I’ve ever willingly caused with a keyboard.
There’s one moment I’ll never forget: I was trying to steal a kid’s glasses. The game gives you zero instructions, just a honk button and bad intentions. I distracted him by honking like a maniac, chased him around the sandbox, made him trip, and then yanked his glasses right off his face with my beak. The kid ran off crying, and I waddled away victorious — with jazz piano playing in the background as if I’d just pulled off the heist of the century.
I laughed so hard I had to pause the game. It’s rare for a game to make you feel like both a gremlin and a genius at the same time. It’s a total masterpiece in ridiculousness.

Telestrations Transforms Butterflies into Flatulent Cows
The funniest game I’ve ever played is, hands down, Telestrations. If you’ve never played it, think of it as a mix between telephone and Pictionary.
My family pulls it out during the holidays when everyone’s together, and without fail, we end up crying from laughter. One time, my brother drew what was supposed to be “butterfly effect,” but it somehow turned into “a cow farting on a city.” No one remembers how we got from point A to point B, but watching the evolution is what makes it so hilarious.
It’s become a tradition we all look forward to, and honestly, it’s hard to laugh that hard at anything else. Especially when the holiday drinks are flowing too!

Cards Against Humanity Skewers Oscar Bait
Personally, the funniest game I’ve ever played is Cards Against Humanity. It reminds me of a time when I was playing with a group of friends, including a client from a quirky independent cinema. When the card, “What’s that smell?” came up, the cinema client played, “Oscar-bait films.” The ironic pairing had us all in stitches. I believe laughter truly is the best medicine, especially in such shared moments.

Decentraland Party Showcases Absurd Virtual Decor
Decentraland is a virtual world where you can explore and buy virtual land, and I had this hilarious experience while attending a virtual party there. I had just bought a small plot of land and was showing it off to some friends, but I had no idea how to properly set up the virtual environment. So, I ended up decorating my plot with random objects that made no sense, like giant pixelated cats and a disco ball in the middle of the lawn. When people came to visit, they were completely confused but also entertained by the randomness. The fact that I could earn virtual currency by owning a piece of this absurd world made it even funnier, as if I was getting paid for creating complete chaos.
