Need a Good Laugh? These Comedy Anime Characters Deliver Every Time
Comedy anime has a unique way of making you feel better, whether you’re having a rough day, need a pick-me-up, or just want something fun to watch. A cast of characters who know precisely how to make us laugh, whether it’s through witty one-liners, ridiculous pranks, or just being their crazy selves, are at the core of every entertaining episode. Comedy anime focusses on strong, memorable characters, from elaborate facial expressions to running gags and well-timed reactions. No matter how many times you see a scene again, it will still make you laugh.
These are the comic kings and queens of anime.
So if you’re in the mood for a good laugh, here are some of the funniest characters in comedy anime that absolutely deliver, every single time.
Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
It’s impossible to discuss humour anime without mentioning Gintoki, let’s face it. Gintoki, the main character of Gintama, is a slack-jawed samurai who has a penchant for breaking the fourth wall, an addiction to sugar, and an allergy to hard labour. Gintoki’s ability to transform even serious events into hilarious gold is what makes him so funny, not simply his wit. Gintoki has a strange, astute, and utterly surprising sense of humour, which ranges from battling with a mop to parodying other anime.
The funniest part was arguing with the narrator in the middle of the show as if it were normal.
(Assassination Classroom) Koro-Sensei
Although Koro-Sensei is a yellow octopus with superpowers that allow him to destroy the Earth, he is also one of the most endearing and humorous characters in anime. His combination of sincere concern for his pupils and absurd actions (such as changing into strange costumes in the middle of a session or sobbing over pudding) results in c
countless hilarious occasions. He strikes the ideal balance between being funny and sincere. The funniest part was dressing like a schoolgirl and giving strange life advice in the middle of a fight.
Excel (Saga)
Excel is the epitome of chaos. She works for a malicious organisation with no app
arent goal, talks more quickly than your brain can comprehend, and puts herself in danger. Excel Saga is an incredible experience because of her unpredictability and unrivalled enthusiasm. Excel is your thing if you enjoy surrealism, humour, and loud noises.
One Piece
The episode where she dies twice and continues to live is the funniest.
(One Punch Man) Saitama
On the surface, Saitama appears to be a superhuman who can vanquish foes with a single blow. Despite the absurdly extravagant setting around him, his deadpan demeanour, unparalleled boredom, and total lack of dramatic flair are what truly make him humorous. The humour is found in the contrast between him and the anti-shonen protagonist.
The funniest part was being more angry about missing grocery sales than about battling monsters.
Izumi Konata (Lucky Star)
Konata is a small, blue-haired high school student that embodies all of the anime and video gaming fandoms. She is the quintessential slice-of-life comedy queen because of her love of otaku culture, sardonic observations about school life, and carefree demeanour. She’s funny, relatable, and her easygoing commentary never fails to make you smile. Her exaggerated response to homework interfering with her MMORPG time was the funniest part.
Miyauchi Renge (Non Non Biyori)
Despite her small stature and monotone voice, Renge is actually one of the most quietly funny characters in slice-of-life anime. Her spontaneous outbursts of eccentricity, unexpected knowledge, and deadpan delivery are hilarious.
Her notorious “Nyanpasu~” greeting, delivered with theatrical flair, was the funniest part.
Demon King Satan, also known as Hataraku Maou-sama (The Devil Is a Part-Timer)
What occurs if the Demon Lord from a different planet is made to work in a fast-food restaurant in contemporary Tokyo? You get one of anime’s most hilarious setups. Maou is hilarious and shockingly relatable because of his struggles to live on a low budget and uphold his bad reputation while taking his minimum-wage job far too seriously.
Funniest moment: No final boss battle compares to his enthusiasm after receiving a raise and complimentary fries.
