Quentin Tarantino’s movies can often be violent and intense but some of his most outrageous characters prove how much humor the movies also have.

Despite the excessive violence that his movies are known for, all of Quentin Tarantino’s projects have been quite funny as well. Tarantino tends to embrace a darker sense of humor and isn’t afraid to make his characters look silly which has made for some unforgettable comedic moments.

Some of Tarantino’s characters like The Bride or Hans Landa have funny moments, but they wouldn’t really be considered comedic characters. However, certain figures that fill Tarantino’s movies provide some huge laughs that help them to stand out among his many colorful characters.

10 Bob – The Hateful Eight (2015)

Bob is one of the many nefarious characters who populate The Hateful Eight. While he is a character who could have gotten easily lost in the shuffle of the ensemble, Demián Bichir makes the character into an eccentric riot with his unexpected performance.

Bob’s raspy voice and rushed cadence make him hard to understand at times which adds wacky energy to the movie. It never veers into parody but provides an unexpected spark to the movie that feels out of place in a good way.

9 Trudi Fraser – Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019)

There are not too many child characters in Tarantino’s movies but Trudi Fraser stands among his best adult characters. She is introduced as Rick Dalton’s costar on the set of a Western show and proves to take the job much more seriously than he does.

It is great fun seeing this young thespian talk to Rick as if she is the adult and he is the child. Her overly serious method of acting and her insistence on not being treated like a child makes her the perfect comedic scene partner for the immature Rick.

8 Louis Gara – Jackie Brown (1997)

Robert De Niro isn’t always known for his comedic skills in movies, but he is hilariously understated in the role of Louis in Jackie Brown. After getting out of prison, Louis is brought on to join his buddy Ordell’s criminal organization but spends most of the time getting stoned.

Louis is a mumbling, grunting criminal who seems out of his element in every situation. He is a criminal of the past who doesn’t fit into the new world and it is great fun watching him stumble around aimlessly.

7 Vincent Vega – Pulp Fiction (1994)

Vincent Vega is another great example of how Tarantino likes to play around with genre expectations. Vincent is a deadly hitman and maintains a typical cold-blooded persona when on the job. But Pulp Fiction explores what such a man might be like outside of his professional life.

From his discussion of European fast food to his awkward date with Mia Wallace, Vincent is shown to be a bit of a goofy guy. He also adds that signature Tarantino dark humor as in his hilarious reaction to accidentally shooting Marvin.

6 Mr. Pink – Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Reservoir Dogs is perhaps the least funny of Tarantino’s movies but there are still some laugh-out-loud moments within the tense crime story. Many of those moments come from Mr. Pink.

He establishes his unique sense of humor in the opening scene when he refuses to tip at the café on moral principle. There is also a funny flashback scene in which he questions why he has to be the one named Mr. Pink. And the tenser the situation gets, the funnier Pink’s manic energy becomes.

5 Captain Koons – Pulp Fiction (1994)

It is hard for an actor to make an impression in a movie with only one scene, but these are the types of roles Christopher Walken excels at. Walken plays Captain Koons in Pulp Fiction as Butch remembers receiving his father’s war watch from this man who served with him.

Walken plays the role with a lot of sincerity which draws the audience in with one of Tarantino’s best monologues. But when the story takes a hilariously unexpected twist, Walken delivers that change in tone so perfectly that it suddenly becomes one of the movie’s funniest moments.

4 Stuntman Mike – Death Proof (2007)

For the majority of Death Proof, Stuntman Mike seems like the farthest thing from a funny character. He is a sadistic killer who uses his souped-up car to prey on his female victims. But the character’s unexpected turn at the climax is so outrageous, it’s impossible not to see Mike as a comedic character now.

After tormenting a group of girls in an extended car chase, the women turn the tables on Mike and attack him. As a result, his intimidating persona fades away and he turns into a blubbering baby with Kurt Russell fully committing to the character’s pathetic downfall.

3 Aldo Raine – Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Most fans believed Aldo Raine and his brutal “Basterds” would be the heroes of Inglourious Basterds, but Tarantino subverts expectations in a great way. While they are very deadly guerilla soldiers, once Aldo and his men are brought into a covert spy mission, they prove to be wildly out of their element.

Despite this, Aldo marches forward with an attitude of “who cares?” that seems so out of place in the covert mission. His half-hearted attempt to pull off an Italian accent is easily the biggest laugh in the movie.

2 Ordell Robbie – Jackie Brown (1997)

Samuel L. Jackson is one of Tarantino’s most frequent collaborators and he delivers his best performance in Jackie Brown. Jackson is sensational as Ordell, a gun smuggler who is more interested in having a good time than being a criminal mastermind.

Ordell thinks highly of himself and has a strange immaturity to him as if he doesn’t realize the seriousness of his business. It is the childish obliviousness that makes the performance so fun to watch.

1 Rick Dalton – Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019)

Though he has played many intense roles, Leonardo DiCaprio has really embraced his comedic side in recent years and Rick Dalton is perhaps his funniest character. Rick is a successful television actor who is desperate to make the next big leap while also dealing with his own anger and drinking problems.

Even though he is a Hollywood actor, Rick is a hilarious sadsack character who is always ready to feel sorry for himself. His epic breakdown in his trailer shows how he is a bit of a tragic clown as the audience cannot help but laugh when he is at his lowest.
