I have the same problem.
As a kid I couldn't get into games like Sam and Max because they wouldn't take themselves seriously. I loved Grim Fandango though because even with the unprobable setting, the characters were serious and it told a serious plot.
I want my game with a dosis of humour, yes, but the game shouldn't become silly.

Examples: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Grim Fandango, Broken Sword games, Gabriel Knight.

Sherlock Holmes games are also games I enjoy a lot. The game is serious yes, but you can't help but laugh of some of the quirkiness' and dryness of Sherlock Holmes.

Metal Gear Solid is also a prime example of a game that has a great storyline and some crazy sense of humour =).
