Yay!, ZeroWing. I still love it when somebody sneaks an "All Your Base" into a game or anywhere, there was even one in a episode of Futurama. But those sorts of gags seem to be as far as comedy goes in most games, stuff that only geeks (or Nerds* if you prefer) will get, which is cool and all but what about a proper funny game. Maybe it's due to the relatively small reach of games. Perhaps as the industry grows into a proper mainstream community then the genres of games will meet the genres of movies. So a game might be considered FPS-RomCom or FlightSim-Comedy or what about MMO-Porno.

*What's better/worse, being called a geek or a nerd? Is a geek a cooler form of nerd or vice versa? Something to consider.
