Whatever happened to the "funny" RPGs?

Has this genre entirely gone and been replaced by fantasy-type RPGs like WoW etc? I just don't get it - some of the best games ever have been

- Day of the Tentacle
- Full Throttle (bit short)
- Grim Fandango

Surely these games haven't died out? Someone make another, they're so cool and amusing whereas modern RPGs seem to be a bit more serious.

Those aren't RPGs their adventure games.

Check out The Runaway 1 & 2. Should be right up your alley.

Psychonauts is also highly recommended.

edit:

Before anyone else says it I'll throw in the Sam 'n' Max episodes.
