15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

4. Scabrous Scrotus (Mad Max)

Lord Scabrous Scrotus Mad Max
Avalanche Studios

The Mad Max fiction is built on being explicitly ridiculous at every turn, and whilst we've characters like 'Toast the Knowing', 'Coma-Doof Warrior' and 'Rictus Erectus' all play their part, there's a special level of lol-ery applied to Scabrous Scrotus.

The game even opens by making him nigh-on immortal, surviving getting a chainsaw buried in his skull, before you spend hours upon hours building up the strength to tackle him one-on-one.

He's certainly as ridiculous as he is threatening, but every time a character has to tell you about the "evil Scrotus!" lording over everyone, it's like that Family Guy "Detective Scrotes" sketch all over again.
