Portal and Portal 2 are natural follow-ups to Stanley Parable if you haven’t played them yet.
I also found the bone dry and character driven humor of Tactical Breach Wizards to be very entertaining, on top of it being an incredible game mechanically as well. 10/10.
Never has a game made me laugh out loud like when I first discovered it. Clever humour, unique characters, and each line of dialogue is packed with effortless charm and wit. Not to mention the philosophical themes disguised as one man’s quirky Day of the Dead -themed quest to get to the afterlife.
The puzzles are a product of its time so a walkthrough might be needed. But that’s forgivable for the game’s big picture.
Wish I could wipe my memory of it and play it all over again.
High on Life is pretty good. Didnt get far into the sequel.
The funniest parts happen early on in the game too, imo it peaks when you collect the knife, so if it doesnt interest you by then with gameplay or humour its safe to drop it early.
I wonder if the name and concept are inspired by the improve comedy Thank God You’re Here, which I notice had an international version in the UK among many other countries.

South park - the stick of truth is pretty good if you like south park.
You should give Full Throttle a go if you like point and click adventure games.
Excellent game, but I don’t remember it being funny. Maybe I need to replay it, its been so many years.
The original psychonauts had me laughing all the way through, the sequel is also very charming tho it felt a little darker.
Portal 2, Stephen Merchant provides most of the humor with his voice acting for Wheatley.
Wheatley was valuable in the moments, but it’s the Cave Johnson (JK Simmons) lines I’m still quoting I’m the face of adverse situations

Turnip boy commits tax evasion was a surprisingly sweet chuckle the whole way through.
Esoteric Ebb is a d&d narrative RPG in the mould of Disco Elysium. It has sharp writing and parodies d&d tropes in some unexpected ways.
I must add the sequel Turnip Boy Robs a Bank which is completely different from the first one gameplay-wise but it retains the same energy XD
Grim Fandango!

The classic Lucas Arts adventures. Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Grim Fandango.
Undertale* is a classic and must-play.
*might also make you cry
Goat Simulator 3 is silly ridiculous. If you want to not think and just laugh at stupid/funny shenanigans, this would do it.
If you’re okay with very casual games, give Thank Goodness You’re Here a try (and it’s apparently on sale currently)

I really enjoyed the slapstick of jazzpunk. If that is your kind of humor.
I Am Bread is amazing.
Battleblock Theater is really funny in like a slap stick and kind of juvenile kind of way.
