Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland lists Octodad as the funniest game he's ever played

Being funny is difficult, no matter what the medium. Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland has been making people laugh for years now through TV shows, but now he's trying to do so in games. Game Informer decided to flip the script and see what games have made Roiland laugh, and he picked one that's available on Wii U and Switch.

The funniest video game I have played where I was actually laughing out loud…Hmm. This is probably the wrong answer, because clearly you have something in your mind, but the one game I remember literally laughing out loud playing, just hysterically laughing at the absolutely dumb absurdity of it was Octotdad.

I just remember it being f***ing absurdly ridiculous in the best ways. Like, okay, there is a family of normal rendered human people, and then a f***ing octopus clumsily pretending to fit in and they somehow don’t get it? And then the tutorial is, “Can you get the kids a glass of water?” and you’re like f***ing knocking shit over. I was laughing out loud playing that game and thinking, “This is so f***ing amazing.” Honestly, that game is a gem. They should win every award there is. I really feel that.
