Funniest characters in video games
- Thread starter TCRS
- Start date
Most american games that people recommend for their comedy fall completely flat for me. 
In fact, I sometimes avoid recommended games if their recommendation is largely based upon how funny it is.
I enjoyed Portal 1's humour enough, and completed it the week it came out. Shortly after the 'cake is a lie' fandom garbage made me never want to play another minute of Portal.
American game humour always seems to be entirely in the writing and script delivery, rather than anything within the gameplay.
I love the humour in plenty of Japanese games though.
I feel pretty bad about this.

TF2 characters are pretty funny and well represented in Valves SFM short films they do when ever they release new updates.
Claptrap was funny for 10 minutes and became this annoying side character that did nothing but delay the
story further for no real reason (bumping into shit when hes supposed to be opening a gate)
In fact the whole cast (except Dr Zed and the main 4) are either annoying, stereotypes or spout the same god awful shitty memes every 2 minutes

Everyone from Giants - Citizen Kabuto -
The Meccaryns, Baz, Tel, Reg, Gordon and Bennett.
Timmy, his parents, his grandfather Borjoyzee (and Borjoyzee's friend, Yan). Check out this great scene for an example of the humour in this weird, wonderful game.
Someone has already said Guybrush and Murray, so I'll add Le Chuck.

Kanji got all the good one-liners in the game, and there were PLENTY.
That's right, I'm gonna renovate your ass.

I'm almost shocked this guy was a Nintendo boss character. So damn good.

Weird, didn't know there was a region lock to a good sense of humour.
The Bonnes.
Everything about them is hilarious. They try hard to be bad, but they are incredibly funny.
Teisel: "Take everything that isn't nailed to the ground!"
Servbot: "What about the toilet paper..?"
Teisel: "We may be pirates, but are not barbarians! We'll let them keep the toilet paper..."

If all you care about is Blasto, save yourself money and time(cause the game will never release on Steam) and watch this video instead, it's the only time you see Blasto :

Bonus funny, Pizza Delivery guy in ME3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqAOiE6dBwU
Extra bonus funny, Shepard himself and "I should go"(spoilers for Citadel DLC) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsZG_NbY5OY
Last one : Joker's crazy tale : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Io-iaLlio
Basically, the whole cast in the Citadel DLC is funny.

Such a dummy.
Capcom's always good with their lovable idiot characters, like the Judge that people have already stated, and of course Gumshoe.

I would have to agree, my favorite mission of his is the Matter Of Taste mission. I've played it a couple times and the dialog still has me laughing every time.

Your player character in Fallout 2 when playing with low INT is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at a video game.
I love Jan Jansen in Baldur's Gate 2 as well, his quotes are funny on their own but way better in the context of the game. There will be super-serious moments and then suddenly this gnome interjects with a wall of text about turnips.

GlaDOS and Wheatley from the Portal series really made me laugh. Right now, I'm getting quite a kick out of the cast of The Wonderful 101!

This motherfucker right here.
Max: "What am I, the button pusher?"
Raul: "Yeah, you're so good at it."
*Max pushes another button*
Raul: "Good job."
That made me laugh more than it should. I did enjoy their banter.

the one part where they were in the snow and the guy goes, "where are we?!? Hoth?"
Still makes me laugh.

Hated the change in tone in BC2.

Come at me, bros.
Seriously this guy. Hands down the funniest JRPG character of all time IMO. He kept me playing that game just because I wanted to see what he would say next. If you haven't played this game yet, do so or at least Youtube Jansen's lines.
