Why Hitman 3 Is Hilarious
95How can Hitman--a series about a bald guy killing people--be funny? Good question. Comedy is certainly subjective, so while this video might not make you laugh, it will explain how the patterns of comedy are present in the game. Because there’s nothing funnier than explaining the joke.
Specifically, much of Hitman’s comedy comes from the comedic tradition of slapstick. Features like ragdolling, surprises, and contrast are very apparent as 47 makes his way through various locales. We can illustrate this by comparing the Hitman games to classic comedy shorts from the legendary Three Stooges.
While Hitman 3 is a big focus of this video, you don’t need to worry about spoilers: we’re only going to show the new game’s first two levels, which have been pretty heavily publicized. The game is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
