| I’m sure this thread has been done before but I thought I’d start it anyway. Anime has got a lot of goofy characters. Out of all the anime you’ve seen, who are the funniest characters you’ve come across? For me, Kenji Harima from School Rumble comes to mind. Honorable Mentions: Saitama from OPM Apachai Hopachai from History’s Mightiest Disciple Kenichi Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic (Fumoffu) Onizuka from GTO Elsie from TWGOK Roka Shibasaki from D-Frag Aqua from Konosuba Lambo from Hitman Reborn! |

| Darkness from Konosuba. She is a real laugh riot. |
 |
| Kuroko needs to see a doctor, but she's still hilarious lol |
 |
| I'd say the main trio from Daily Lives of High School Boys. But I cannot forget the funniest of all time, Satou Kazuma from Konosuba |
| Hmm I would say half of these characters aren't specifically funny, but their goofy personalities make me smile a lot: - Naru/Tamako from Barakamon - Katarina from My Next Life As A Villainess - Alibaba from Magi - Hinata/Tanaka from Haikyuu - Ayame from Fruits Basket - Kero from Cardcaptors |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Gintoki obviously. Honorable mention goes to Tabata (Danshi Koukosei no Nichijou). They even have the same voice actor. Kintoki (Golden Boy) and Onizuka (GTO) are also great. |
| Reigen from Mob Psycho 100 Toshino Kyoko from Yuru Yuri |
| Attenborough Cortich, from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. His scenes are pretty simple but I always laughed. Someone says: "Let's wait for the right moment to press this button and-" He presses the button before the right moment, something happens and the plan is ruined. Stuff like that, that's just it, but I love him. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| ofc all mc/heroine comedy anime like - Seto no hanayome - Gekkan shoujo - Kaguya sama |
 |
| I’d say Gintoki from Gintama, he’s very funny, I love the faces he makes xD |
 |
| My Top 10 would include 10 characters from Gintama for obvious reason. So instead you take my my Top 25 from 25 different anime: #1 Katsura Kotarou from Gintama #2 Aioi Yuuko from Nichijou #3 Harima Kenji from School Rumble #4 Hibiki Ryouga from Ranma 1/2 #5 Takamura Mamoru from Hajime no Ippo #6 Sunohara Youhei from Clannad #7 Yoshii Akihisa from Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu #8 Maki Natsuo from Love Lab #9 Ika Musume from Shinryaku! Ika Musume #10 Tanaka Nozomu Joshikousei no Mudazukai #11 Yamada Aoi from Working!! #12 Satou Kazuma from Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! #13 Tabata Hidenori from Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou #14 Mikoshiba Mikoto from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun #15 Kamui Kanna from Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon #16 Elucia de Lute Ima from Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai #17 Dekomori Sanae from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! #18 Suou Tamaki from Ouran Koukou Host Club #19 Hirasawa Yui from K-On! #20 Isaac Dian from Baccano! #21 Fujiwara Chika from Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai #22 Miroku from InuYasha #23 Machio Naruzou from Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? #24 Koshigaya Komari from Non Non Biyori #25 Noda Megumi from Nodame Cantabile |

| The main cast of Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku O! |
 |
| It's virtually impossible to choose considering how many funny anime and their characters are, but I love people mentioning Sakuragi (Slam Dunk) and Elsie (TWGOK). Elsie is probably is more a cute though. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| The fact that no one here has even mentioned Dazai Osamu from Bungo Stray Dogs just goes on to show how underrated he is :( |

| I obviously didn't see all comedy anime, but from the ones I watched, I'd say that the cast from Mahoujin Guruguru was the funniest, with maybe Nike or Udberg Eldol as the funniest individual characters. |
| I'd say Mikitaka Hasekura is hands down the funniest character in JoJo and the scenes with him in part 4 always had me rolling. Although I guess that's less about him being funny and more about him being so awkward/"alien" that he's hilarious. |
 |
| It’s actually pretty hard to come with a character that makes me laugh more than any other; for me it’s usually the situations and reactions in anime that are funny, not the characters themselves. BUT, if I had to pick one character that is consistently funny throughout an entire series I would have to say... Kirito from SAO. I know, it’s an unpopular opinion, but I think, while he’s not gut-busting hilarious all the time, he’s consistently quite funny imo. I think his quirky humor is what makes him a likable character. |
| 1. Gintoki and Katsura from Gintama (can't choose between them) 2. Hijikata and Sougo. And Kagura too :) Honorable mentions: Saiki Kusuo, Nendou, Kaidou, Kuboyasu, Hairou (From Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan) Most Gintama characters Shirogane and narrator from Kaguya sama love is war Ishigami from Kaguya sama Mikoshiba from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun |

"If you accept everything you're told without question, you'll lose your ability to think. Even if you reached the same conclusion, it would still be worth analysing the reasons behind it." - Lacie Baskerville, Pandora Hearts |
| gintoki from gintama or reigan from mob psycho 100 |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| As far as I've watched, The trio from Asobi Asobase Kuroko from Railgun series Nendou from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K |
| a really troublesome girl just showed up at a troubling time to start some trouble. |
| Seems like it's still Gunter for me so far, most of his scenes are so funny it gets hard to take him seriously lol. |
| It's obviously kotarou katsura from gintama. The guy can make a straight man outta anyone, even gintoki. I doubt there is any character that can surpass him. |
 |
| All characters from Hajime no ippo are tied for funniest anime character. Gintama has some extremely funny characters too. |
 |
| Literally everyone from Nichijou, Kazuma from Konosuba, Papa Shirogane from Kaguya-sama |
"If there's a hole, I wanna go into it!!" - Flame Hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro |
The totally real psychic who's definitely not a con-artist |
| hanabatake yoshiko nee-san chio-chan from my holy comedy anime trilogy |
