The Secret of the Monkey Island is mostly a comedy game. And it's funny. There is satire, absurdism, meta-jokes. Something for everyone. But it also made very good use of interactivity for humor - something characteristic for adventure games and something Lucas Arts was very good at.

Broken Age is far more bland in comparison. And while I'm not a fan of brain-wrecking puzzles, it could do with a bit more challenge.

When it comes to point-and-click adventures these days I would recommend titles from Wadjet Eye Games. They're more serious overall, but still have that characteristic "adventure game" humor.
