10 Funniest Characters In Sci-Fi Movie History

7. Drax - Guardians Of The Galaxy

Peter Venkman

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe absolutely littered in comedic talent, it's a true testament to Dave Bautista's acting that he is without a doubt one of the funniest characters.

We first meet Drax The Destroyer in Guardians Of The Galaxy when the other Guardians are trapped in the Kyln prison ship - here he tells us his story about how his life's purpose is to find Ronan and get his revenge for killing his wife and daughter - told you he was a barrell of laughs. Despite the somewhat downer of an introduction, we quickly learn that Drax' people, the Kylosians are completely literal and doesn't understand the concept of a joke or a metaphor. Throughout the films, his literal thinking and his arrogance about his own greatness cause him to obliviously be the butt to all jokes and ridicule.

On top of that, the fact that he believes his reflexes make him too fast for metaphors to go over his head and if he moves slowly and quietly enough in plain sight, the muscle-bound, 6 foot 4, whack job can be completely invisible to the human eye.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
