The 30 Dumbest Titles In Video Game History
Check out this Cnet piece where they delve into the 30 stupidest titles ever given to video games. There's a little rofl in there, if you look.

Touch Dic
Nintendo DS - 2005

Premise: More a tool than a game, Touch Dic is a dictionary and translation title for the Nintendo DS using the console's touch-happy stylus.
We want to say this is a game-naming FAIL, but we just can't. It's from Korea and is now on the shelves as Touch Dictionary. But we'll never forget the day our pals at GameSpot first told us there was a game called Touch Dic... happy, happy times.
Uhhhh...umm....ok then...carry on.

Camels are hilarious. Slaying hundreds of them as they shoot fireballs from their mouths borders on the insane, which is why this game was so riveting. Why this hasn't been made for our current generation of consoles is beyond us. Stick Barbie on the back of a mutant camel and you've got yourself a AAA title.
I know. I can't even tell you how often I daydream about giving up my dayjob to design that.

Tongue of the Fatman - was a fun little fighting game.

Attack of the Mutant Camels - dumb name but it was fun to play.

How To Be A Complete Bastard - stupid is as stupid does, plain bad game.

in the comments: Slap and Tickle - should have made the list.
Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders - actually a good long name.

My uncle gave me a 486 when I was like 8 and it had LSL1 on it. Man was that an eye opener. I always had unprotected sex with the stripper and would get aids and die.
