http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

[2915] NES Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti "best ending" by Samsara in 19:11.24 When I first saw the 'Thriller' movement choreography in the first stage (at about 0:43 in the encode), I recall asking Samsara if that was a cutscene or actual input made. I was honestly amazed when he told me that it was input. In my opinion, it's quite humorous and I still get a kick out of watching it. The premise of the rest of the run also (being a parody of horror movies) was humorous enough to me to warrant giving a nomination.
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." - 1 Corinthians 2:9

[2995] GBA Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow "all souls" by Fz-Last, alkdc & Pike in 18:45.26 Okay maybe it's literally just me but there were several moments during the run that actually made me laugh out loud, more so than any other movie this year.

I vote we abolish this award, unless there's a year where it makes sense. None of these are funny. They are just good TASes. I voted for none of these.
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

I disagree, I did find a few of these legitimately comical. THUG2 stood out for me especially. I do agree the field isn't that strong this year though. There have been very few playarounds, and nothing on the same level as, say, Scribblenauts a few years back, or a UMK3 playaround the year before that.
