Why is it so hard to nail humor in video game writing? We discuss why games like Monkey Island and Portal are so beloved, and why the humor in games like Borderlands 3 proves so divisive.

Hey, great episode once again! I never though about this subject before, it's really interesting. I think you're right about the pace, like in other media it's really important. And you are absolutly right about game design. This can also be really funny. Futhermore, broken game or bad games can be funny like bad movies are. Also I totally agree about "meme" jokes, they were born on the internet, they should stay on the internet. But, on pop culture reference, one of the writers of the recently aclaimed Disco Elysium said that : this is a good pop culture reference if people who don't get it, don't see it or don't bother. And I agree, if it's well placed and not in front of your face, it's a good one. This was again a good episode and not an easy one, because in the end, humour is always a bit subjective =).
