Top 10 Funniest Disney Villains

From their dastardly deeds to their melodramatic monologues, Disney villains are the characters we love to hate, and sometimes the ones we just love to laugh at. These mischievous wrongdoers bring an essential dose of humor to the mix, breaking up the heartfelt moments with a cackle or a slapstick fall.

While their intentions may be less than noble, there's no denying that their comedic antics often steal the show.

From classic hand-drawn animation to the latest in digital technology, Disney's rogues gallery is packed with hilarious wrongdoers. They might be scheming to take over a kingdom, searching for a magic lamp, or simply trying to ruin a happily ever after, but they're also slipping on banana peels, getting outsmarted by animals, and delivering some seriously funny one-liners while they're at it.

Take, for instance, Hades from "Hercules," who dishes out sarcastic comments and sassy retorts while managing the Underworld. Or Captain Hook from "Peter Pan," a villain who's as comical as he is wicked, especially when he's running from a certain crocodile.

These characters and many others bring us laughter amidst the tension, proving that villains can have a funny bone too.

1. Hades - Hercules

   

   I liked when Hercules comes out of the river of death, and Hades is pleading for mercy. Then, right in the middle of his sentence, Hercules just punches him in the face.

   "You know, a little dark, a little gloomy, and it's always, hey, full of dead people! What ya gonna do?" I love this guy! His lines are hilarious! "Memo to me, memo to me, maim you after my meeting."

   Perfect combination of hilarious and serious. I love it. Long live Hades.

2. Yzma - Emperor's New Groove

   

   Yzma is the royal adviser to Emperor Kuzco in the animated film The Emperor's New Groove. She is a villainous character who is skilled in potion-making.

   After being dismissed by Kuzco, she plots to overthrow him and become empress herself.

   It's downright true - Yzma deserves #2! Seriously. You can't resist a voice as squeaky as a rubber duck, persistently appearing hairstyles that change about every half-hour in the movie, and... THE KITTY!

   "Pull the lever, Kronk! Wrong lever! Why do we even have that lever?" I don't know, Yzma. But you are amazing!

   Yzma is possibly the villain who fails most in her schemes. She got turned into a cat for heaven's sake.

3. Captain Hook - Peter Pan

   

   Captain James Hook is a fictional character and the antagonist of J. M. Barrie's play Peter Pan. Or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and its various adaptations. He is Peter Pan's archenemy, known for his elaborate clothing, fear of crocodiles, and his hook replacing one of his hands. Hook has become one... read more

   I love him. Despite being a sadistic and vengeful villain, he is somewhat of a coward at times. He's terrified of the crocodile that ate his hand and sometimes cries when Peter Pan gets the better of him.

   But that's what makes him such a lovable character. He's hilarious!

   This is a fantastic list. Hook is hilarious, and so are #1 and #2. Good voting!

   He is hilarious, but refined, sophisticated, charismatic, and suave. Villainous pirate captain with a British accent.

4. Prince John - Robin Hood

   

5. Mad Madam Mim - The Sword In the Stone

   

   She's one of my favorite villains ever, despite her having little screen time.

6. Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz - Phineas and Ferb

   

   Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz is a fictional character and the main antagonist from the animated television show Phineas and Ferb. He was created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and is voiced by Povenmire. Doofenshmirtz is the eccentric and often inept leader of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.

   Well, it doesn't really say Disney movie villains, now does it?

7. Professor Ratigan - The Great Mouse Detective

   

8. Gaston - Beauty and the Beast

   

   Gaston is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast. He is the main antagonist, known for his narcissism and desire to marry Belle. The character first appeared in the 1991 film and was later portrayed by Luke Evans in the 2017 live-action... read more

   Why is he not on this list yet? This guy is such a douchebag, yet he cracks me up practically every time he's on screen. Who could forget, "You need to put down those books and start focusing on more important things... like me."

9. Scar - The Lion King

   

   Scar is the main antagonist of Disney's 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. He is the second son of Obasi and Eshe. Scar is the younger brother of Mufasa and the paternal uncle of Simba.

   Scar serves as Simba's arch-nemesis and is also Mufasa's rival. Additionally, he was the former leader... read more

   I played him in my camp play, and the audience was always laughing.

   It's a crime that Scar is not on the list!

   Zazu: It's a small world after all...

   Scar: No! No, anything but that.

   Me: My favorite line.

10. Kronk - Emperor's New Groove

    

    Kronk is a character from Disney's 2000 animated film The Emperor's New Groove, where he serves as the secondary antagonist. He later became the main protagonist of the 2005 sequel Kronk's New Groove.

    Often portrayed as Yzma's well-meaning but bumbling henchman, Kronk is also known for his love... read more

    His devil and angel bit is always funny. Not as funny as Yzma, but still funny. I mean, he got his own sequel because he was funny. The audience loves him. He and Yzma make this film funny.

    For a villain, he's really not that evil. And he's dimwitted. But that's what makes him so funny and lovable.

    He's not that evil, but he is dumb.

    Lotso - Toy Story 3

    

    Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, commonly known as Lotso, is the main antagonist in Toy Story 3 (2010). He takes control of Sunnyside Day Care and forces the other toys to follow his rules. Despite his cuddly appearance, he is portrayed as a ruthless and manipulative character.

    He sure is indeed considered "pure evil" and such a wounded psychopath, diabolical tyrant, sleazy evildoer, and nefarious sadist.

    He is one diabolical evildoer and nefarious sleaze.

12. ?

    Pain and Panic - Hercules

    
The Contenders

13. Ursula - The Little Mermaid

    

    Ursula is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film, The Little Mermaid, released in 1989.

    Jafar is the main antagonist of Disney's 31st full-length animated feature film Aladdin. He is introduced as the sinister Royal Vizier to Agrabah's Sultan, who desires power over the kingdom. Jafar uses dark magic and manipulation to achieve his goals throughout the film.

    He is so funny! I like to say that he golfs. He owes it all to Iago, really.

17. Bill Cipher - Gravity Falls

    

    Bill Cipher is a triangular dream demon featured in the animated television series Gravity Falls. Originally confined to the mindscape, he was brought into the real world after being summoned by Stanford Pines over thirty years ago.... read more

    Why is he not #1? He ripped deer teeth right out of that deer's mouth! Not to mention he also causes a very weird apocalypse. Some stuff I thought Disney wouldn't allow! That was funny!

    Why is he not number 1? Screw this list. Bill is my third favorite Gravity Falls character (after Soos and Stanley Pines) for being the funniest, the coolest, and the person I wouldn't mind taking over the world.

    This is after Kronk, who is barely a villain. It's funny how dumb you are, is said by Bill. I bet you people think Mr. Krabs is funny. This guy should be number 1 without a doubt.

18. Madame Medusa - The Rescuers

    

    She can be pretty funny, despite her selfish and greedy nature. It cracks me up so much when she sees Bianca and Bernard and begins to panic. She even tries shooting them but is a horrible shot.

    I also like when Bianca, Bernard, and the swamp creatures attack her to help Penny escape.

19. Edgar Balthazar - The Aristocats

    

20. Cruella De Vil - 101 Dalmatians

    Oogie is the best and is one of the most underrated Disney villains.

25. Willie the Giant - Mickey and the Beanstalk

27. LeFou - Beauty and the Beast
