Just curious as to if there's any more comedic RPGs available on the site. RPGs seem to have a tendency to take themselves pretty seriously, and I'm all for a good story, but it's nice to play something a bit more humorous every now and then.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if it is really considered an RPG, more like an Action Adventure RPG Lite really, but there you go.
Quest for Glory too. :)
Brütal Legend - If you like heavy metal or hard rock, play this. It's hilarious and has absolutely everybody as a voice actor (Tim Curry, Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Ozzie Osbourne, Jack Black, etc, etc.)

Bard's Tale - You play a sarcastic jerk, who tends to fight with the narrator. It's way better than it sounds. Plus the originals are included in the GOG version.

Overlord - Depends on your sense of humour. A mix of teenage humor and dark comedy, there are some bits that are great. Plus a lot of jokes happening in the background.

Unepic? I've not played it much, though.

certainly this.
Bards Tale for sure
Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2 (It has RPG elements but is really an RTS)

Shadowrun Returns have some good humor on it
Driftmoon, maybe. I have quite a lot of RPGs from GOG, but this is the only one I would class as a "funny" full RPGs in my library. Maybe Overlord, too, but I don't think of it as a RPG.
I agree most of the RPGs are quite serious. Humour is present in titles like "Planescape torment" or "Jade Empire", but it's mostly as a break in a serious game, like the "funny sidekick" you'll find in many action movies.
Adventure games (i.e. point and clicks) are often far more lighthearted.

Outside of GOG titles, the funniest RPG I ever played was "Embric of Wulfhammer's castle", but it's ... special : Mild erotic game with "final fantasy 1" like graphics, very little combat, and a very good writing. The only game that had me laughting out loud for the past few years.

The answer to your question is definitely The Bard's Tale.
Arcanum can be funny if you play a superstupid character and Ultima 9 can be funny if you know what's a paladin :)
Divinity II: Director's Cut isn't a comedy RPG, but it has a great sense of humor and it doesn't take itself too serious at all. Case in point, you can annoy a major boss to the point where he just gives up trying to give his grand speech and begins the encounter.

Indeed
Lots of people have been talking about Bard's Tale, and it IS quite funny, so I figured I'd mention that it is Amazon's Free App of the day today, so if you have an android device, you should get it.
