Cave Johnson (Portal 2)
Though you never actually interact with him or really see him outside of a painted portrait the man has one hell of a presence through quite possibly the best section of Portal 2. An absolute gold mine of comedic quotes and rants that go off on tangents which have you just standing there listening instead of playing the game. All delivered through JK Simmons voice that is just the cherry on top of this perfect sundae. GLaDOS and Wheatley have nothing on Cave Johnson.
Conker (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
The entire game is a comedy and absurdist comedy at that. A degenerate squirrel who looks like a Disney character and somehow is the hero of the story? Sign me up! Major Fritz the Cat vibes too. Conker isn't just a one note character either as he runs the range of emotions and goes from just trying to get home drunk and pissing to put out fires to literally battling against a giant shit monster who is singing opera to you the entire time and Conker ain't having any of it.
Cole Phelps (LA Noire)
Not intentionally funny but a last minute rework of the game's interrogation system makes Cole often come off as detached and unhinged as hell. The results are fucking hilarious. Interviewing a woman about her missing husband and ask what time he left for work, she replies she doesn't remember, you hit doubt because the neighbor saw her see him off that morning, and what does Cole do? Motherfucker punches the table and starts screaming in her face she killed him and she needs to confess to being a husband murdering monster. For a moment she's applauded and then Cole is calmly asking about her husband's job. 15 minutes later you find out the guy is running away with his mistress and didn't tell his wife. Cole will still suspect she killed him. I can't play this game without cry laughing at Cole and his reactions that come out of nowhere.
