Very interesting thought.
The only game that I can think of that had bits of humor scattered all the way through it was the original Half-Life; I found the random offhand comment of the NPC scientists and Barneys hilarious:
"Why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties?"
"Yep, all that target range time is gonna pay off today!"
"Well, there goes our grant money."
"Gordon! Man am I glad to see you. What the hell are these things? And why are they wearing science team uniforms?"
"This should shake up those grand unification boys, hmm?"
"That'll look nice in my trophy room."
etc.
Still, not much overt humor. Just poking fun at the stereotypes represented by the characters, but I enjoyed it. All the more for being a cubical-dweller in a technical job environment at the time HL came out.
