I stopped reading right there.

Yes, Oddworld frequently features comedic elements. It also strongly condemns capitalism; frequently frames industrialization as villainous and destructive; and uses pollution, unethical business practice, pharmaceutical experimentation on animals, slavery and destruction of indigenous culture as story elements.

I think all it takes is a browse through the concept art produced for the series to see the tone that OWI wanted to create for the world. There has always been an element of slapstick humor, but this was often used in small doses and never defined the overall mood of the series.
Kind of makes your reply rather pointless though, doesn't it? Since i sort of elaborated the point in more detail further down... which doesn't really contradict your point despite what you gathered from my first sentence....
