It takes some of the funniest movie characters to make a comedy that will be worth seeing; after all, you have to attract viewers with varying senses of humor. Therefore a memorable character that’s loved by everyone is the key to a successful comedy film. Just imagine what would The Hangover be without Alan or who would go see Iron Man repeatedly if it wasn't for his humor? Here is a collection of some of the funniest movie characters that we all love!
1 Amy/“Fat Amy”/Patricia
I don’t think there is one person on this earth who doesn't love Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect! I mean, what is there not to love? She is hilarious, talented and doesn't care what anybody thinks of her. She is witty, comedic and has an addicting personality. Amy is confident in her own skin and has the best lines in the movie! Not surprisingly, Rebel Wilson perfectly portrays one of the funniest movie characters!
Frequently asked questions
2 Alan Garner
If you've seen The Hangover, then you are completely aware that everything about Alan is amusing. Everything from his satchel and instability to his stance is hilarious. He speaks his mind and is so out of touch with this world, yet the movie is nothing without him! Although Alan can be considered psychotic and maybe at times insane, he is a complete child at heart.
3 Jenko and Schmidt
I couldn’t separate Jenko and Schmidt (played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill) from 21 Jump Street into separate points because I consider them as a dynamic and inseparable duo! Although they are both opposites, they make up for each other’s shortcomings. Jenko is academically challenged but he is a physical threat, Schmidt is anti-social but is very clever and studious. They are an unforgettable duo that you must see if you haven’t already!
4 Captain Jack Sparrow
Captain Jack Sparrow is a legendary pirate of the Seven Seas; some of the things he is completely in love with are the sea and his beloved ship, the Black Pearl! We seem to not be able to get enough of Captain Jack Sparrow because he is such an enticing character! He is a drunk and a trickster, he has the best manner of running, and despite being a pirate, he can be a complete wimp. He is a bold character with idiosyncratic quirks!
5 Frat Boy Andy
Taylor Lautner portrayed the character of a hunky frat boy named Andy in the recent comedy, Grown Ups 2. His character was an over the top popular college boy who leads a clique of a number of others like him. The funniest scene from the film was probably when Andy makes it known that Lenny and his friends were stepping on his territory and, after a hilariously heated diatribe, forces them to jump off a cliff!
6 Ethan Tremblay
Ethan Tremblay is one of the main characters in the movie Due Date portrayed by Zach Galifianakis. His personality and character are very similar to Alan from Hangover. Although he is clueless most of the time, he is sassy and completely hysterical. Plus he has the cutest dog ever as a companion!
7 Tony Stark
Besides being a dauntless superhero, Tony Stark describes himself as a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist. I think the main reason why so many people fell in love with his character is because of his clever jokes and witty humor. He is very straightforward and realistic about situations but he tends to never lose his dry sense of humor and sarcasm. Tony Stark is one character we all enjoy watching!
These are just a couple of some of the funniest movie characters that put excitement into movies. However, we all have our own favorites, so what’s yours? Write them down in the comments!
