10 Video Game Bosses That Were (Almost) Too Hilarious To Kill

10. Ripper Roo - Crash Bandicoot Series

The manic critter known as Ripper Roo is fought as a boss twice in the original trilogy, in Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It’s impossible to say which of the fights is funnier.

This mutated kangaroo is the funniest character in the series, speaking only in cackles and jumping manically during fights like the kangaroo he is.

In the original game, his boss arena is a serious of platforms, which he will jump between in a changing pattern in an attempt to crush Crash. It’s yet another slapstick masterclass, which sees the bandicoot trying to set off the Big TNT Crates at the right moment to catch Roo in the blast.

The madcap character returns in the second game, its very first boss. Here, again, he moves erratically and drops numerous explosives across the arena.

He’s now called Dr. Roo (having completed a university education between the two games, as an alternate ending reveals) but is as brilliantly silly as ever.
