Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) played by Johnny Depp
Most of the above, especially Mr. Bean, is over-the-top comedy.
Captain Jack, on the other hand, is adventurous and humorous. If I was the jury, I would give him the Oscar.
This guy pulled off a character that is really hard to pull off. I mean, try acting drunk with 20 cameras pointing at you. I dare ya!
Johnny is just so funny in this movie because he walks very funny.

Austin Powers is a comedy classic. How can anyone not agree? He's an ass (in the funny way), but he saves the world all the same.
The expressions, mannerisms, an excellent character.
Yeah, he's awesome...but where's Dr. Evil? Myers is even funnier as him!

Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) played by Eli Wallach
With seemingly boundless amounts of energy, enough to turn him into a living cartoon, this opportunistic Mexican bandit is not only one of the funniest movie characters, but he's also one of the greatest. You will laugh at him for being so goofy, but give it time, and you start to care about him as well. Also, he's more dangerous than he appears.
-
Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) played by Robert Downey Jr.
A hybrid of Iron Man and Jack Sparrow, this incarnation of Sherlock Holmes is sarcastic, arrogant, and quite good at the old fisticuffs. That's why we love him.

Ali G: What happens if they went in winter, when the sun is cold?
Buzz Aldrin: The sun is not cold in the winter.
Before Borat, there was Ali G, the wannabe rapper from Staines.

Jim Carrey can make just about anything funny, even characters that weren't meant to be funny (Grinch, Count Olaf).
I can't think of anyone better to play the Grinch than Jim Carrey. He's a comedy classic.

Mortimer Brewster (Arsenic and Old Lace) played by Cary Grant
Manic, motor-mouthed Mortimer is full of priceless, rubber-faced reactions to the anarchy of the situation.

Chazz Michael Michaels (Blades of Glory) played by Will Ferrell
WF's take on this character is what made Blades so funny, that and his chemistry with JH. Chazz is alternately disgusting, funny, charming, and offensive, and you can't help but love him anyway.
Chazz made Blades of Glory so funny!
