Funniest Cartoon Characters of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Homer Simpson (The Simpsons) Homer Jay Simpson is the main protagonist of the American animated television series The Simpsons as the patriarch of the eponymous family.

He's iconic for a reason. He did the dumb cartoon dad first and, in my humble opinion, best by far. He has uttered some of the funniest lines in television history, and they're all within his character:

"The lesson is, never try."
"I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now."
"Operator! Give me the number for 911!"
"I've gone back in time to when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos."
"Now Bart, since you broke Grandpa's teeth, he gets to break yours."
"I can't even say the word 'titmouse' without giggling like a schoolgirl."
"No TV and no beer makes Homer something something."

I could literally provide hundreds of hilarious quotes. Being able to pull off heart-wrenching emotional moments one second and gut-busting humorous moments the next is really hard, but he pulls it off like that.

2 Stewie Griffin (Family Guy) Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin is a main character from the animated television series Family Guy. Obsessed with violence and matricide, Stewie is the youngest child of Peter and Lois Griffin, and the brother of Meg and Chris Griffin.

The majority of kids at my school consider him their favorite cartoon character. (Including me.) I actually did a full survey. Stewie Griffin has earned this award.

I love Stewie! Everything he does makes me laugh or smile!

That just seems so correct. Stewie swears. He's gotten drunk more than a few times. He's gotten high. He's pretty much done everything an adult of 21 has done, and then some... but he's one. LOL.

3 SpongeBob SquarePants (SpongeBob SquarePants) SpongeBob SquarePants is a fictional character and the titular character and protagonist of the American animated television series of the same name.

I think SpongeBob is the funniest cartoon character because I've watched SpongeBob so many times and I just think he's the funniest.

He's funnier than every Family Guy character.

To me, SpongeBob would be #2, just behind Stewie. I never thought he would be at #15.

4 Eric Cartman (South Park) Eric Theodore Cartman, often referred to just by his surname, is a main character, as well as a major antagonist and occasional antihero in the animated television series South Park, created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and voiced by Parker. He is one of four central characters in South Park, along... read more

This character is completely unafraid of anything. He does what he wants, however he wants, to whoever he wants, with nobody to stop him. This kid is one of the all-time masters of manipulation.

The best thing is how unpredictable he is. His plans and schemes suddenly take an unexpected new direction, and you don't support him - you just laugh at him whether he fails spectacularly or not. This character is larger than life in every way possible, and that's what's so funny.

5 Patrick Star (Spongebob Squarepants) Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, and he is one of the 10 main characters in the show. He is voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke, who also voices numerous other characters on the show. Created and designed by marine biologist and cartoonist... read more

"Whoever's the owner of a white sedan, you left your lights on."

"I know. Let's get naked."

"I love you."

"Is mayonnaise an instrument?"

Some of Patrick's classic funny quotes.

Remember when SpongeBob said, Patrick, your genius is showing, and Patrick said, Where! Where!? Spoiler alert: It is a dirty joke.

Funnier than Homer, Stewie, and SpongeBob. Not gonna lie.

6 Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes) Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, created by the staff of Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros.) He is one of (if not) the most famous cartoon characters, and he is in the show Looney Tunes. His famous quote is "What's up doc?". He is a gray colored bunny with big teeth and big... read more

I love Bugs Bunny! I really like it when Bugs is fighting Marvin the Martian!

If you feed Bugs Bunny too many carrots, what do you expect? Big Chungus.

I love Bugs Bunny! Laugh out loud.

7 Polly McShane (The Kids from Room 402)
8 Pinkie Pie (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) Pinkie Pie is a major character in the 2010 show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, based on Surprise from My Little Pony G1, She represents the element of Laughter.

This pony is absolutely hilarious. She is unpredictable as hell and can break the fourth wall at any moment.

She's the second funniest character on the show, behind Discord.

One of the funniest characters I have ever seen.

9 Squidward Tentacles (SpongeBob SquarePants) Squidward Tentacles is a fictional character voiced by actor Rodger Bumpass in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.

This character is extremely funny. He's very well drawn, and his voice actor, Rodger Bumpass, is just fantastic. The way he reads some of those lines - my God!

In the best episodes, this guy always cracks me up. His expressions, his reactions, his dialogue... It's just a brilliant, brilliant character!

10 Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes) Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character produced by Warner Bros. Styled as an anthropomorphic black duck, the character has appeared in cartoon series such as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, where he usually has been depicted as the best friend and occasional arch-rival of Bugs Bunny.

He's the original "We are this guy" character, and no one above him on this list is EVER going to change that. He's frantic, he's fun, the timing in his cartoons is hysterical, and at times we just feel a bit bad for him, especially in the Chuck Jones cartoons.

And best of all, he never wins. All the characters above him are those smug sociopaths/idiots who win everything. But Daffy? He's the guy we all ARE.

He provides two kinds of laughs: crazy, wacky laughs from his nuttier days (why he was called "daffy" in the first place) and malicious, disturbingly relatable ones from his later days to now. He remains relevant for good reason, and he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

The Contenders
11 Cosmo (Fairly OddParents) Cosmo is Timmy fairy godfather. He's Wanda's husband and Poof's dad. Cosmo is very immature and stupid, but also very charming and a loving father, godfather and husband.

He is so awesome and such an idiot that he is hilarious.

Dumb, impulsive, and belligerent. What's not to like about this fairy fellow of Timmy?

12 Peter Griffin (Family Guy) Peter Griffin is the main protagonist and titular character of the American animated sitcom Family Guy.

"Meg... Who let you back in the house?" He's by far the funniest, though Homer is still up there.

Peter's stupidity cracks me up. He makes fun of Meg, is an actual idiot, and he doesn't even know what color a firetruck is.

He should be at number 3 at least.

13 Richard Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) Richard Watterson is the father of Gumball, Darwin, and Anais in the animated series The Amazing World of Gumball.
14 Dot Warner (Animaniacs)

Of course she's funny! That's what makes her cute!

15 Cheese (Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends)

Funniest kids' cartoon character ever.

I love his obsession with chocolate milk and cereal. Laugh out loud.

16 Edward Platypus (Camp Lazlo)
17 Princess Bean (Disenchantment)
18 Bloo (Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends) Bloo is one of many lovable and eccentric characters in Cartoon Networks "Fosters home for Imaginary Friends".

Because of his perfect and funny storyline adventures, Bloo is the best! He always pranks people and comes up with really funny and catchy words.

19 Bender (Futurama) Bender Bending Rodríguez is a fictional character who is one of the main characters in the animated television series Futurama. He was created by series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen and is voiced by John DiMaggio.

Bender is one of the most obnoxious and rude cartoon characters of all time, which is hilarious because that is the opposite of what all robots are imagined as. He is a dark-humored, arrogant bastard, and that is why we love him.

Funniest character of all time. It's a shame they canceled the show.

20 Roger (American Dad)

This guy is a top 5 funniest character ever made. His personalities match everyone's sense of humor. Nobody can ever keep a straight face through his episodes.

He just has a very interesting personality that can make anyone laugh, no matter what mood you are in.

Roger is 1000 characters in one. He can be his own show and every character. LMAO.

21 Popeye (Popeye the Sailor) Popeye the Sailor is a fictional American cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar. The character first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929, and Popeye became the strip's title in later years.
22 Bart Simpson (The Simpsons) Bartholomew JoJo "Bart" Simpson is the oldest child, and the only son, in the 1987 show The Simpsons. He was created by Matt Groening. His hobbies are pranking people including Lisa Simpson and Homer Simpson.
23 Jake the Dog (Adventure Time) Jake the Dog is, along with Finn the Human, a fictional character and one of the main cast in the American animated television series Adventure Time created by Pendleton Ward.

Jake is the best. He should be number one. Making bacon pancakes like a boss. Jake, like a boss.

24 Pearl (Steven Universe) Pearl is a fictional character from the 2013 animated series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. She is a "Gem", a fictional alien being that exists as a magical gemstone projecting a holographic body... read more
25 Gir (Invader Zim)

OK, I'm sorry. HOW is this guy only at number 24 right now?! GIR is, without a doubt, the funniest cartoon character of all time! His random and spontaneous quotes are the main reason half the people who watch Invader Zim love the show so much in the first place!

He destroys the entire city on a taco run, keeps bees in his head, and forgets what he's doing halfway through screaming in terror to sit down and watch cartoons! The Doom Song ALONE should put him at number 10 or higher! How in the name of the Almighty Tallest is he so low on the list?!
