That is an unfair stereotype. I very much enjoy comedy, I just don't find most things that are supposed to be funny to actually be funny at all. I do laugh out loud at least once a week though.
A shame indeed. That game has one of my favourite endings ever. As I recall though, one could go through the entire game without even knowing the name of the main character, so perhaps Phanto's lack of knowing it isn't all that horrible after all.
