For me it's probably Jazzpunk, but I liked Disco Elysium too. I've been looking for something to scratch that "Jazzpunk surrealist comedy itch" for a while and not many games have come even close.

I think it'd have to be Portal...mmm, the first one. I think learning about Glados the first time is a little better than the whole potato thing.

Portal 2 has some jokes that did not age well too.

Whoa, do you remember any specific examples? I haven't played since it came out

There are a lot of fat jokes, and they aren't punching up at all. Don't remember specifics since it has been about a year since I last played.

But wasn't that the evil AI very explicitly trying to psychologically hurt the protagonist and being really lame about it? I mean it's the evil AI doing it and I remember the point of it being that fat jokes are lame.

I get that context, but see my other comment about that. https://beehaw.org/comment/1142644
