The Grand Theft Auto series is known for many amazing things. Whether it's the huge, sprawling open worlds, the fantastic missions, finding hidden packages, trying to drive normally in a game that discourages you from doing so, or even the addictive GTA Online component, there's so much to love about GTA.

That said, it's really the characters who make Grand Theft Auto quite as special as it is. At its core, Grand Theft Auto is all about a parody of life as we know it and as such, the series has served up memorable character after the other, many of which are also absolutely hilarious too.

Admit it, there's been loads of moments you've been playing one of these and you've found yourself laughing out loud at the insane antics of the cast, and supporting characters of these titles.

But which of them are truly the best of the bunch? The ones that were consistently funny throughout and made a lasting impression on all of us should be celebrated, and that's why it's time to look at the 10 funniest Grand Theft auto characters ever!

10. The Truth

There's no one quite like The Truth, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' resident hippie and conspiracy theorist.

First encountered in Flint County, The Truth drives around in his personal van called 'The Mothership' and is convinced that the government is in cahoots with aliens.

Truth's missions are some of the most bizarre and hilarious in the series. What about the time he enlists CJ to burn his entire cannabis farm to the ground, or the mission to break into Area 69 to steal the jetpack?

He also speaks almost completely in nonsensical riddles. There's one particular incident where he's convinced that himself and CJ are being listened to by the government, and to counteract this, he tells CJ to think about a yellow rubber duck, and a pink golf ball. This is never explained further.

Then there's all the other madness of The Truth as well. Remember his astral goat, Herbie? Or what about the fact that he believes that JFK lives in Scotland with Janis Joplin?

Truth is also a great believer in America being in a cold war for the last 45 years, purely because "snake-headed aliens" run the oil business.
