Did anyone expect anything from those games? Funny would be a game people were excited about (loudly) long before the release.
My vote:
The fact Phil acted like he was on suicide watch after the launch, just added to the hilarity.
Special mention:

Why concord over lawbreakers in regards to funniest?
Sony admitted defeat and cancelled it asap.
The Biffy guy that made lawbreakers still swears today it's the goat.

Come on, Concord and it's not even close.
- teaser trailer got ratio'd to hell
- reveal trailer got ratio'd to hell
- free open beta hit just ~2100 concurrent players on steam
- final release hit 697 concurrent players LMFAO there are no-name indie games with zero marketing that do better than that every week
- taken offline and refunds issued 11 days after release
- if you believe the rumors, Sony spent multiple hundreds of millions $ between buying the studio, building them a new headquarters, and completing the development
- Hermen Hulst thought it was THE FUTURE OF PLAYSTATION with "Star Wars-Like potential"
- one of the devs made everyone call her Professor and used "professor/prof" pronouns
Bonus: the one normal looking white dude was the most popular player choice.

Easily concord. Shit was out for a week and people had more fun memeing about it than playing it.

Concord was easily the funniest of the lot but god it was nice seeing that smug prick Cliffy B eat a bag of dicks over that piece of shit LawBreakers. I mean, I guess it doesn't really bother him as he gets to eat his wife's ass out so I guess he doesn't really care...! God I dislike Cliffy B so much. Attention seeking cock head. He did an interview on Colin Moriarty's podcast and it was so fucking cringe.
This. Anytime something bad happens to that dude, my heart grows a bit in size.

Porsche ridden, cunt driven, cowxem bebop tele-bitched at by gender bent Big Boss. Or whatever it's called. Apocalyptica? No, those are the metal Violin players. Seriously can't remember the name. Points for Reznor involvement, but at the end of the day it's a product by

Xbox series X and S. It's funny how the series s is their best seller this gen. Truly hilarious. And it's funnier every single new gen they keep on sucking balls.

It's really the original Mass Effect trilogy. Three highly rated games that people still lie to themselves about being good, which ultimately killed BioWare. The funniest part is that people don't even realize the disaster that trilogy was.

Never mind everyone's favourite $400M disaster Concord by itself, which everyone saw a mile away except Sony and Firewalk. I'd say Sony's entire recent GAAS strategy.
In the past year alone, Sony's GAAS focus had this:
+ Helldivers 2
- Bungie tanking with layoffs and sales down so bad, Sony assimilating them, some games cancelled, and CEO shifted some employees internally to SIE to make a new game instead of leaving it as a Bungie labelled game
- Concord debacle (Firewalk Studios shut down)
- Deviation Games (studio shut down)
- Neon Koi (studio shut down)
- Firesprite cancelled games (not the same as Firewalk Studios)
- Factions 2 cancelled
- Spiderman MP cancelled
There's actually so many, I dont think anyone on GAF has ever kept track of all of them accurately. I'm surely missing some too. Typically, someone starts off a list and then people add to it.

Zero chance Hyenas is a real game. I've made enough AI image generated jokes, I ain't even gonna fact check it.

ME:A was a beauty disaster. Game is supposed to be a cool gritty sci fi game, and somehow out of all characters and enemies in the game, they make the lead character look like someone from a kids show. Amazing.Mass Effect Andromeda was up there for sure

Battleborn and Lawbreakers were actually good games that were released in an oversaturated market and were mismanaged, their failure is sad
Hyenas and Concord are Pathetic and hilarious, a prime example of what "compromised" and over-bloated studios can achieve

HYENAS from Wiki. Who the hell would want to play this.
Setting
Hyenas takes place in a near-future setting. After the wealthy move to Mars and turn it into a paradise for those who can afford to live there, the Earth is torn apart in an enormous accident. The survivors live miserably on a collection of orbiting slums known colloquially as The Taint. To add meaning to their vapid lives, the elites of Mars raid the ruins of Earth for Merch, pop-culture relics such as old VHS tapes or vinyl records. Players control a titular Hyena, a space-pirate from the Taint that raids enormous Plunderships on their way from Earth to Mars in an attempt to steal the Merch held within.

Xbox One was pretty funny.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
SW Outlaws is available on both Steam and Ubisoft's own store, that's not the case for the Indy game. Keys from the Ubisoft store are substantially cheaper than getting the game on Steam. (25 euro Ubi key vs 45 euro Steam key).

I wish I could fail by making critically acclaimed games that sell well and get HBO tv series adaptation.

The most funny thing is that everyone, apart from the devs, knew that most of these games would fail before release.
On a more serious note,: I don't think any failure is all that funny in the long run. Waste of time, money and resources that could've been spent on something worthwhile.

Concord is the biggest flop and the funniest in the industry so far.
+ Worst designed characters of all time
+ Had more pronouns than copies on the market
+ $400 million budgets
+ 8 years development time
+ Zero units sold
+ Studio closure
+ Secured one episode of Amazon's secret level.

Nothing more enjoyable than seeing retarded trends crash and burn.
And the king of all: Motion controls
It feels like yesterday when the Wii brought the "revolution" of motion controls. Oh how I remember those lapsed gamers that appeared like the slugs they were!
"It's teh future!!!"
"I cannot go back to traditional controls"
etc.
3 minutes in Wii sports (that is how much I lasted with this crap) was enough to see motion controls are shit.
I hope you enjoyed the Wii sudden death and WiiU's (what an abomination of a system) utter failure. You are probably back to traditional gaming now, pity.
With motion controls dead and buried, GAAS came to fill the void of crap.
Keep them coming! Every lost million to these shit projects gives me pleasure second only to sex. Extra points if you mix it with woke.
Gimmicks, Gaas, 3D, VR.... Happy to see them all fail.

From the outside looking in at these games as i have never played any of them and going by the media, i would say Concord, shutting down almost straight away and the money spent on it was funny lol.
