I haven't played it but this seems fun.

Battleblock Theater, Castle Crashers, Duck Game, Lethal League, and Rocket League are some good ones I can name off the top of my head. I'd search your library or the Steam Store by the "local co-op" tag and see what you like.

If you're a fan of shoot-em-ups, I recommend Jamestown. Had a lot of fun with that one!
Rayman: Origins is pretty entertaining too.
And if you like fighting games, try Skullgirls. Oh wait, that's not a co-op... Still great with two controllers though.

Stardust Vanguards
Starwhal
most of the LEGO titles likely qualify as well

Not really, it's meant to be single player: http://www.shacknews.com/article/81361/brothers-a-tale-of-two-sons-not-meant-for-co

You forgot "Forced". Amazing gem for action rpg and puzzle solvers alike.

Rampage Knights is awesome, lots of fun.
HELLDIVERS also a good one, but have lot of DLC. Not so much as Payday 2, of course :D

No one live forever 2, Sniper Elite V2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Rainbow Six Raven Shield and his extension, Terraria, Obscure 1 & 2, Marvel Ultimate alliance and X-Men Legends 2, SWAT 4, Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death (not a good game but really funny in coop), Saints Row The Third, ...
Some of these games are old but really fun to play, had a lot of laughs with these one. ;)

You can remove almost everything of my first list, sorry for the misunderstanding. :(

If you are looking for smash bros like games, I'd recommend Brawlhalla (which is free to play), or one of my favorites, Megabyte Puch. This one is like if Medabots and Smash bros had a baby. It has 2 player PvE Coop, as well as 4 player versus mode.You ARE going to have to play it a bit first, to unlock all the robot parts though.
Here's a list of other COOP that I have and haven't seen on this list:
COOPs
Risk of Rain
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
Party Fighters
One Ship Two Ship Redshift Blueshift
Samudai
Square Brawl
Thief Town
Rumble
Soccertron
Overruled!
Angry Arrows
I don't have the last three but I've been wanting to try them out.
Now if only I had someone to play these with... :/

It depends on a lit of factors, I like Nidhogg for quick games or if you want to play something with a story, and many days worth or co-op playtime, Divinity: Original Sin is a lot of fun,
