Hi, just write funniest character here. Optionally you can do a picture if you want.
You canāt start a topic like this without posting a character yourself! Regardless, how about I throw a curveball that no-one else will have any clue about -
Jack Russell (Radiata Stories)
Because heās 5 parts awesome and 5 parts enthusiastic idiot.
āThe chicken or Guybrush,ā you ask. Both.
I just knew that youād go with Guybrush!
And chicken.
Also, you know me too well haha
Btw I have no idea what Radiata Stories is, but Iāll look it up.
Kitagawa Yusuke, from persona 5. Heās never intending to be funny but everything that comes out of that awkward moronās mouth is pure gold.
Hmā¦ well, I give up.
Ruling out the following because thereās no competition:
Every character from a Tim Schafer game, including but not limited to
- Razputin, Coach Oleander, practically every psycho (Psychonauts)
- Manny Calavera, Domino Hurley, Salvador Limones, Glƶttis (Grim Fandango)
- Shay and Vella, Shayās knitted friends (Broken Age)
- Every incarnation of Jack Black (especially Fāther)
With that giant asterisk out of the way, Iād give this to a few different characters.
Rufus, Goal, and Cletus (Deponia)
While I generally think the entire cast in Deponia is great, the special callout definitely goes to Rufus, Goal, and Cletus. All three of these people areā¦ well, awful. Rufus is a self-absorbed sociopath and a kleptomaniac to an extent that would upset Manny Calavera, Goal is a spoiled brat, and Cletus is just a mirror of Rufus that was lucky enough to live in a floating paradise instead of on a crappy planet of junk. All of the cast has some kind of redeeming quality underlying their nasty surface behavior, and they lend the game absolute unpredictability in where the plot will go next.
Big Bo (Binary Domain)
ā¦oh, Japan. Big Bo is the perfect counterpart to Dan for a BIG WESTERN SHOOTER GAME by the Yakuza developers. You should feel genuine guilt for every time you swap him out of your party. French Robo-bro Cain is a close second.
For brevity, Iāll hurry this up:
- [Most of] the Jade Empire party (not you, Silver Fox)
- Fernando (Paladins)
- Comment-a-tron (Clone Drone in the Danger Zone)
- Mordin Solus, Wrex, and Grunt (Mass Effect Trilogy)
- Rex Power Colt (FC3 BD), Colt twins (Trials of the Blood Dragon)
ā¦and Iām sure there are more I forgot.

Witcher 3
Also when you need to make a ghost happy in the witcher 3, that one has great moments as well.
The sleeping vampire that you can randomly meet inside the sewers below Novigrad, is also pretty funny.
