Top 10 Funniest Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson Characters
When it comes to the Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson series, the action, adventure, and heart-pounding battles might grab your attention, but the humor is what keeps you coming back for more. These characters know how to lighten the mood, drop the perfect one-liner, or accidentally create chaos in the most entertaining ways. Whether they're cracking jokes in the middle of a monster fight, making snarky comebacks to gods, or just being hilariously themselves, these are the characters who always keep you laughing.
Leo Valdez is a major character from the book series Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. He is one of the seven heroes in the Prophecy of Seven. He is a Greek demigod and is the son of Hephaestus / Vulcan, and has the ability to create and manipulate fire (pyrokinesis). Come on, guys, Leo Valdez has to be the funniest character in the whole thing! I mean seriously, we're in a tense, heads-down combat moment, everyone's on the edge of their seats, pom-poms lying on the floor, and people are wishing for the easy days of the lightning bolt saga before we started using the Riordanverse as a comfort zone. Then Leo comes along, says something ridiculous, and we all just crack up!
What I love about Leo, though, is that inside, he's so insecure. All his jokes are made to cover up his uncertainty. That's why he's my favorite character (I feel like such an Annabeth traitor saying that, but hey, what can you do?).
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a fictional character, the title character and narrator of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Must I even explain? Oh well. I feel that Percy is the sass and humor king. Just read all the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books again. His wit, his character, how he can still smile, laugh, and make others happy even after going through so much. His humor and sarcasm beat all the other characters fair and square.
Like when he's literally about to die, he makes some dam (see what I did there?) sarcastic or funny comment and somehow manages to survive. I know a lot of people find Leo funny, but I feel that Leo was derived from Percy's character and humor, and is more forced. Percy's sense of humor and sarcasm is genuine, and he's like the original sass and funny king.
I believe that Grover is quite comedic. That dam joke.
So funny! Food anchors him to the mortal world! He loves Juniper so much.
He just says random stuff like "Enchiladas!"
Nico di Angelo is a fictional character created by Rick Riordan. He appears in Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Hero of Olympus, and parts of Trials of Apollo. As a son of Hades, the boy is a demigod. He befriended Percy and had many roles in his long time appearance including stopping Minos, fighting... read more He has made sarcastic comments and has a sense of humor. Just because he's serious, it doesn't mean he has no sense of humor!
"With great power... comes the great need to take a nap."
And don't forget about the scene in "The Last Olympian" when he's facing Kronos:
Kronos: Son of Hades, do you love death so much you wish to experience it?
Nico: Your death would be great to see.
(Or something like that.) He has earned his place on the list!
Okay, he is not too funny, but do you know his life? He still smiles and tries to make jokes, but he just doesn't fit in too well with living things or people. He is still funny, but just a little scary to some people.
Who doesn't like a violent satyr who yells "KILL THEM" all the time?
If violence were funny, it would be Gleeson Hedge. Die, cupcakes!
Who doesn't love a satyr that is addicted to violence?
He is pretty funny! Sometimes depressing, but most of the time funny! At least funnier than the Hades kid. Nico isn't funny at all, you guys know that, right?
He can be funny at times. While I was reading The Trials of Apollo series, I was laughing for most of it!
A friend and I came up with a perfect haiku that he would totally make:
I am Apollo.
Artemis is very dumb.
I am the best twin.
A masterpiece. I think it would be his thing.
Not the funniest character, but has enough humor to be higher than Nico. I love Nico, but the only joke I've heard him say is the one to his father about skull re-decorating. Even his father couldn't tell whether or not he was kidding.
She is such a sassy badass. And who can forget that she still wants to go to the dam snack bar?
Witty and always has the perfect comeback. Cold yet hilarious.
I love Travis and Connor. They seem like really great and funny characters. Travis is my favorite of the two. I don't know why.
I wholeheartedly agree that Travis and Connor Stoll are the funniest! Followed closely by Hedge and Leo, though! They are all my funny children!
Connor and Travis are the main jokers. You cannot have this list without having them in the top 7.
The Newcomers
She is funny without meaning to be. Like at the Hoover Dam: Let us find the dam snack bar.
Yes! She attacked Kronos with a blue hairbrush! I laughed so hard.
Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and one of the main characters of both the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series. She's also Percy Jackson's girlfriend and has no particular powers aside from her brains and tactics. How did she get so low on this list? She is hilarious like (most of) the other characters!
Yay! Connor and Travis are my favorites, but my personal favorite is Connor. Don't ask why. He just is.
Dude, it's OPEN. And everyone else is asleep. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
I love the Stolls! They're hilarious and my favorite characters of all time.
"I wAnT a StIcK."
Poseidon kids are so funny, in my opinion.
Meg is the best! Cartwheeling down crosswalks? Way better than Jason.
Cartwheeling down the sidewalk!
"Uh-uh, lover boy. Chaperone says no." Alex is hilarious.
Her/his lines are hilarious! She's so funny.
Magnus is the funniest and wittiest character other than Leo. He should definitely be number 2 or even 1!
You think that he's really easygoing, and then Nico says something and he's got a whip-smart comment.
Will individually isn't that funny, but he and Nico as a comedy duo are pretty good.
Calypso is very serious, yes, but she does have quite a sense of humor! Calypso's awesome!
The only one who can make a comeback that will leave Leo breathless.
