I have been playing trough the Mass Effect trilogy lately, and I have fallen in love with Joker, his interactions with EDI are particularly funny in ME2 and it's rare to me that I find an actually humorous character in a video game. Most of the time the supporting or leading character that's trying to be funny comes as more annoying than funny.
So I want to know, what video game character do you find genuinely funny?
To many to name but Guybrush Threepwood is definitely up there, Deadpool from the recent game was amusing throughout as well I also find Makoto Nanaya entertaining in Blazblue her quotes during before and after battle are awesome its not LOL funny but it makes me smile quite often.
It's a bit difficult to explain why, but the commentary he provides (Especially in the Special episodes) Is just so brilliant and witty. The back and forth banter between him and Alan Wake (Who you play as) is pure gold at some times.
Deus Ex (a game I was generally unimpressed with) had one reason I could never get frustrated when playing it. JC Denton didn't just die, he had the most over-the-top "YEAAAAAARRRRRGGGH-GAH!" death scream ever.
Crow from The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. He is actually funny without trying too hard and doing it constantly. Most "comedic relief" characters get annoying after trying the same joke, but in different words, 10 bazillion times.
Kenji from Katawa Shoujo, no question. He is convinced that there is a feminist conspiracy for women to rise up and take over the world going on and way he plays off the main character is brilliant. He is also needlessly melodramatic (best kind) and legally blind. So he rants at walls occasionally.
"No that's how they get you man! You let them in and BAM, you wake up with a knife in your back!"
"How do you wake up if there's a knife in your back?"
"Women are terrible at stabbing things"
And another:
"How did you not notice them set up the stalls right outside your window?"
"What are you talking about? I keep my curtains closed to thwart the snipers."
You dare suggest the delicious sandwich of funniness is lacking in the ingredient of Fawful? Bah! Now it is the turn of you fink-rats! All your dreams are like scribbles drawn by a kid who is stupid!

Gotta agree with you on that one, it really is fun to watch Joker and EDI's relationship evolve from "I'm the pilot, damnit, I don't need an AI helping me out!" to sounding like a bickering old couple, or a nagging mother and her son, and finally becoming a really good partnership as teammates. The conversations they have were always one of my favorite parts about completing a mission since it meant there'd be a new one.
As for my own vote, it's GOTTA go to Wicked K from the Darksiders series. In Darksiders 2, he's a "secret" boss and in order to get to him you have to play through The Crucible from start to finish (a 100-wave survival gauntlet of fights). You fight through 100 waves of absolute hell, even fight a powered-up version of the main boss of the game for the 100th wave, and then the guy that runs the Crucible says you have to fight his master. So you're expecting some ultimate challenge that will put all your combat skills and reflexes to the test!
That's right, he had the balls to call Death a BOOB!
I found Prince from "Prince of Persia 2008" funny in some non-cutscene banters. Please don't shoot me -_-
Also Wheatley from Portal 2. I really wish I could get him a better ending.
More GLados then Wheatley for me , loved portal 2 for its humor, the fact that there was some puzzles and a decent story was just a bonus.
"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: "A horrible person." We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."
