Cartoons have been one of our earliest depiction of human imagination on screen, especially imagination in things and animals as well as what they could be, that by itself makes cartoons to have a very wide range of theme, genre, storyline, casts(characters) of which many of them turn out to be funny cartoon characters. Unlike regular movies, cartoons are most times made to be humorous or in some form made to induce laughter and amusement. If we must see strangely shaped people/characters at least they should be a little unserious and funny in their ways. The characters from various funny cartoons that bring the spice in their respective roles is what this article about funny cartoon characters would be discussing extensively.

In this article, these funny cartoon characters from different animated cartoons we are all used to and have loved, would be appreciated for their wonderful but funny job of making our time spent in front of the screen watching them full of laughter, smiles and humor.

The list of funny characters from cartoons is huge as we would cover as many of your favorite funny cartoon characters as possible, they would be from different cartoons you know both the ones that are about human life and the ones not anywhere related to human life. The requirements for making it to the list of funny cartoon characters is to be a cartoon character, play your role nicely and most importantly, be funny. If you want to make it to the list you can become a cartoon character.

While the characters would be arranged in a list, it is by no means in a hierarchical order, so the character you see first on the list is not in anyway ranked to be funnier than the character you see next or at the bottom of the list.

Without any further ado let’s dive into the huge list of funny cartoon characters of all time.

The first character on our list of funny cartoon characters is Stewie Griffin the last child of Peter Griffin and his wife Lois Griffin from the animated cartoon Family Guy. According to a lot of online polls by fans of the cartoon, Stewie is the funniest cartoon character from the Family Guy cartoon, this is not just because of his conspicuous weirdly shaped head, this is actually the least reason(though earned him a spot on the list of funny looking cartoon characters), but rather his entire persona. Even though no member of the family(excluding Brian the dog) or even the town understands him owing to the fact he is just a baby(less than two years old). Neither his age, nor his body size has stood in his way of being one of the most active babies ever with a ridiculously high IQ. There’s a lot to be said about Stewie Griffin and why he is on the list of funny cartoon characters. 

  1. Goofy

Angelica Pickles being on the list of funny characters is thanks to her nature of being a spoilt brat from the cartoon Rugrats. She is one of the main characters of the cartoon Rugrats.

Due to the long duration which Bugs Bunny and his funny ways of fighting his enemies has been on TV, he is considered to be one of the most popular characters to ever grace the TV screen. Saying Bugs Bunny is a funny cartoon character is an understatement and a disservice to his personality and character. Bugs Bunny is incredibly funny and everyone who has spent at least 2 minutes watching him can attest to that.

Patrick Star from his name and body shape can be clearly said to be a star fish, an obese one that is known to be jobless in the series SpongeBob SquarePants. He, just like other funny cartoon characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, is also anthropomorphic. While he is mostly known for his role in SpongeBob Squarepants, Patrick also has his own series The Patrick Star Show which premiered in the year 2021. In The Patrick Star Show, he is the main protagonist. The humorous aspects of his character followed him from SpongeBob down to The Patrick Show and that consistency is the reason we have Patrick on this list of funny animated cartoon characters.

  1. SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SpuarePants is the main character of the cartoon series of the same name as his. This cartoon series is purely a comedy cartoon which is the reason the main character, SpongeBob in this case, must be an incredibly funny character. Such is the case for SpongeBob himself. His weirdly shaped body is enough to induce laughter in anyone watching the cartoon. His looks including his behaviors like that of a child endears viewers towards the series. SpongeBob just like other characters in the cartoon are all sea creatures of which he himself is a sea sponge.

  1. Daffy Duck

Homer is a major character of the Simpsons who has been doing and saying lots of funny things that earned him his slot on this list for funny cartoon characters. Despite being a funny character, Homer is portrayed as a very good family man that looks out for and takes care of his family at all times. His character and behavior is a polar opposite to that of the next guy on this list, Peter Griffin.

  1. Peter Griffin

funny cartoon characters, funny characters in cartoons, cartoon funny characters, fun cartoon characters

The list of funny cartoon characters would not be complete if Peter Griffin isn’t mentioned in the list. Peter Justin Griffin is the main character and main protagonist of the series Family Guy in which he is the husband of Lois Griffin and father to the trio of Meg Griffin, Chris Griffin and Stewie Griffin mentioned earlier on the list. Peter Griffin is an incredibly funny guy which is being propelled by his lack of intellect, Peter is in fact an unbelievably unintelligent character that it is even funny watching him do and say things that would have you laughing and rolling on the ground. Unlike Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin’s The Simpsons counterpart, Peter doesn’t take care of his family or try to protect them at all. His unintelligence does not do him any favor with regards to that as he is constantly unable to reason things properly this oftentimes puts him in difficult conditions even with his wife.

To say Peter Griffin is merely funny is a discredit to his character, Peter is one of the most funniest cartoon characters of all time and that is why we have him on this list. The quirky comments that constantly blurts out of Peter’s mouth is one of the reasons he is so funny. By the way, Peter is also on the list of fat cartoon characters.

Tom the cat from the infamous Tom and Jerry cartoon is an undeniably funny cartoon character, in fact there are people who would swear Tom is the most funny cartoon character ever. His full name being Thomas Jasper ‘Tom’ Cat Sr. He is one of the two main characters of the ever popular and funny Tom And Jerry series, his inability to devise a very efficient method to deal with and handle Jerry the mouse is the foundation for all his humorous activities. Even though they always fight like the literal cat and mouse they are, Tom occasionally makes peace with his lifetime enemy, Jerry. One of Tom’s signature funny moves and posture is the gearing up he does seconds before zooming off in a chase. Anyone whom the Tom and Jerry cartoon series was their favorite could swear either of Tom and Jerry is the funniest cartoon character, that alone is enough to earn Tom a spot on this list. By the way, Tom is also a blue cartoon character.

Scooby or in full Scoobert ‘Scooby’ Doo is one of the most popular cartoon characters that most people know about, he is a pet dog of Shaggy Rogers. Scooby’s first debut on screen was in the series named after him as Scooby Doo Where Are You? This cartoon series was incredibly popular and funny that lots of pet owners started naming their dogs Scooby. Some of Scooby’s humor comes from his ability to be frightened too easily and his signature expression and posture. In the series he is depicted as an ever hungry pet dog of Shaggy which makes him a lot funnier especially when he sights food.

  1. Johnny Bravo

Starting from his weird look/appearance, it’s no wonder Johnny Bravo makes it to the list of funny cartoon characters. The humor Johnny Bravo gives us starts from his lack of intelligence, his intelligence is so low it is surprising how he graduated from high school. Another funny thing about Johnny are his iconic but extremely funny pick-up lines. Whether those pick-up lines worked for him or not is of little concern to us since they did make us laugh out loud. Whether you like Johnny’s character or not, you can’t help but agree that he deserves to be on this funny list of cartoon characters.

  1. Winnie-The-Pooh

Pooh Bear who is one of the main characters of the cartoon series Winnie The Pooh. Just like a few funny cartoon characters on this list, Pooh bear is not an intelligent bear and it affects his ability to perform tasks, he is in fact a very slow bear due to his lack of intelligence. Nevertheless, Pooh bear is still a very funny, thoughtful and nice character in the series which is the reason he is among our list of funny characters. One notable thing he is known for is his undying love for honey in the series.
