Funny characters form the crux of most comedy movies. After all, this helps attract viewers, catering to their varying senses of humor. Most funny characters make a memorable impression on the reader’s mind.
Think about any of the more famous comedy films such as The Hangover. Can you imagine the film without Alan? Or a film like Iron Man, which won’t be the film it was without its trademark humor? So, let us find out some of the funniest characters you can see on screen.
Fat Amy/Patricia
There cannot be anyone person on this earth who may not fall in love with the character of Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect! She is hilarious, talented, and does not care two hoots what anybody thinks of her.
She is also witty, comedic, and has an amazing personality. Amy doesn’t care how she looks. She is very comfortable in her skin and has the best lines in the movie! Rebel Wilson is pitch-perfect in the film and could portray one of the funniest movie characters ever with so much aplomb.
Alan Garner
If you have seen The Hangover, you know that Alan (Zach Galifianakis) has a pretty amusing character. He speaks his mind with so much honesty, although he is pretty out of touch with this world. However, the movie is all about him!
He is nothing like a regular character, an adult, yet he is a complete child at heart. The character with its specific tropes such as satchel and unstable stance is right down hilarious.
Jenko and Schmidt
Jenko and Schmidt, played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill from 21 Jump Street, are inextricably linked with each other. They are separate points and yet are a completely inseparable duo!
Although they are oxymorons in the real sense of the term, they make up for each other’s shortcomings. Jenko may not be that sound academically, but he is a physical threat. On the other hand, Schmidt is anti-social, but no one quite likes him as he is clever and studious. They are certainly one of the most unforgettable duos and one of the hilarious characters you may have ever seen.
Ethan Tremblay
Ethan Tremblay plays one of the chief characters in the movie Due Date, played to the hilt by Zach Galifianakis. His personality and character are more on the lines of Alan from Hangover. Although he is clueless most of the time, he is sassy and will have you in splits. His cute dog also makes for one of the cutest dogs ever.
Captain Jack Sparrow
Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the most legendary pirates traversing across Seven Seas. Yet, he is also one of the funniest characters you will ever find, including his eccentric character traits, including his total love for the sea, and his beloved ship, the Black Pearl!
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is certainly one of the most enticing characters ever! He is a drunk and a trickster, making you laugh with all his quirks. He is a character who is funny without meaning to be funny.
Frat Boy Andy
Taylor Lautner aced the character of a hunky frat boy named Andy in one of the most recent comedies, Grown Ups 2. His character plays the role of an over-the-top popular college boy who leads teams that are just like him. One of the funniest scenes from the film is when Andy announces that Lenny and his friends were trespassing in his territory. And after a funny argument, he coerces them to jump off a cliff!
Tony Stark
Portraying the role of a dauntless superhero is no mean task, especially when you want to give it the texture of hilarity. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a mixture of many different characters. He is a genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist.
Ho ever, his clever jokes and witty humor make his character stand out. He is also petty straightforward, and practical. Even when faced with less than favorable situations in life, he never lets go of his dry sense of humor. Tony Stark is one character we can never tire of watching.
