Some scenes are scary. Some scenes are depressing. Some scenes make you want to laugh until your sides hurt. Actually, there are quite a few scenes in games that make you want to laugh that hard. Here's five of them.
All choices are based upon games I've played.

5. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Arrow DLC Pack
Despite having so many installments, the LEGO franchise has continuously dished out hilarious scene after hilarious scene that appeals to a wide age range.
The opening of the Arrow DLC pack for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is my favorite, though. Not only does it satire the backstory for Arrow, it calls out the "continuity police." Even if you're unfamiliar with Arrow as a character, you can't help but laugh.
4. Portal 2
If someone out there expected a turret opera at the end of Portal 2, please let me know. I definitely did a double-take. It was funny, unexpected, and even a tad bit creepy. How can you not laugh at the turrets that spent the whole game trying to kill you now singing at you? If only there was cake to go with it...
3. Tales from the Borderlands
There are plenty of killer comedic moments throughout the Borderlands franchise from the witty comments of Handsome Jack to the continuous sass from Claptrap. With the recent release of Episode 4: Escape Plan Bravo of Tales from the Borderlands, I couldn't help but include the crazy action scene that was finger-guns.
I still don't understand how this scene was approved, but it was hilarious nonetheless and I was impressed. Click on the NSFW video to figure out exactly what goes down.
2. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
Murray dancing as Madame Geisha killed me. Rioichi Cooper's clearly confused. Murray struts his stuff with impeccable dance moves and flirts with all of the boars. The music clearly fits into Feudal Japan. I was hysterical. It became very hard to focus on the buttons when I was too busy laughing at the level of ridiculousness.
1. Deadpool
I love Deadpool. I love Deadpool and would have been happy just posting a video of the entirety of the game. That would defeat the purpose of making this a list of scenes, though, wouldn't it? Thus, I stuck to Deadpool's origins and picked a moment where he really breaks the fourth wall.
Deadpool's gone a bit over budget with his game and he is determined to have High Moon Studios give him more money. The usual antics ensue. Check out the NSFW video above to see how.
Honorable Mention: South Park: The Stick of Truth
Everything about South Park: The Stick of Truth was hilarious. I was laughing for days, but I felt it couldn't compare to some of the other scenes on this list. Considering the subject matter, it is also very subjective.
It remains in the noble runner-up spot.
