A race/class combination doesn't make a character funny, how you play that character makes them funny. You could have a hilarious human fighter if played right.
That's a tough one. I've known a Human Rogue, a Tiefling Warlock, a Half-Orc Bard, a Wood-Elf Druid, and a Dragonborn (who wasn't born Dragonborn) Paladin who are all hilarious along with Literally Everyone Else in the World (as the DM calls himself).
The Human Rogue is an aristocrat runaway chased by his pirate crew every two years because he spent 8 cursed coins from a hoard that he and his Joyful Damnation crew dug up. His favorite pastimes apparently are getting drunk, casting Grease, and hiding. He owns a dilapidated mansion from a disappointed ancestor in a necropolis and he can't seem to "flip" (fix and resell) the mansion no matter how hard he tries. The Tiefling Warlock has an ironic name and killed her caretaker because he got in her way and loves it when the short-sighted Half-Orc Bard's plans go horrifically and spectacularly wrong, such as ending up with a skeleton army and 15 orphans squashed into paste. Also, she has two carnivorous Eldritch grimoires she calls Frisky and the Darkness. The Bard's really just along for a good time but his bright ideas are never the brightest. The Dragonborn Paladin worships a purple cow he can see only when he stares too long at the sun and was kicked out of his order for being careless about something that the rest of the party can't get anyone to talk about. His carelessness adds to the chaos that the Warlock can't get enough of - a real leaping-before-looking Paladin. The Wood-Elf Druid is the brains of the operation and nobody gives her any credit - everyone thinking the Rogue is the leader... or at least, the Rogue thinks he's the leader - and she is famous around the lands for her accidental "meat-grinder" incident. As kind as she seems to be, don't get on her bad side. Some question just how accidental the meat grinder was. (Kicking a chicken is all it takes to get on her bad side.)
Many a times have they turned Evil enemies into allies and left unintended destruction in their wake, such as turning all the creatures in a forest blind (as well as a kobold's ancestors) and destroying a port of a town reliant on exports. If they keep at it like that, they'll likely have an Evil army at their disposal despite having only one Evil party member - and with their growing infamy to solve problems while creating more, they'll eventually need an army to stay alive.
Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
Sorry i want to change the poll to the most O. P. character
Overpowered in what way? Damage? Influence? Exploration? Puzzles/skill checks?
There is no "good at everything" character build, but you can specialize at a specific thing. If you are asking about damage, there have already been a few threads about that. So far the most damaging turn 1 build I've seen is rogue assassin 4/ranger gloom stalker 5/fighter battle master 11. Race doesn't matter much, but Wood Elf is probably best fit.
Depends on role, but I would go with Paladin (damage and buffs) or Bard (buffs and debuffs)
For paladin, any subclass and you can do great.
For Bard, my personal favorite is College of Glamour. The Mantle of Inspiration is amazing and.you get.it super.early. Half elf works really good with it.
So if I had to pick one, Half Elf College of Glamour Bard.
Similar issue. It's the DM, the player, and the encounter that determines who has a better chance of being OP. BBEG encounter that ended on the first turn in animal friendship by a Druid. BBEG encounter that ended on the first turn grappled by a Rogue. BBEG encounter nerf'd hard by a Warlock converting all the followers to her religion. BBEG encounter ended with all the guards knocked unconscious with a single crit success by a Bard and a couple of epic fail (fumble) saves. ...and that's just listing BBEGs.

In what way? And how would any character be overpowered?

All hail the great and mighty platypus.
Resisting is simply standing in front of the tide and pushing at it. Even if you endure at first, you will eventually break down. Adapting, by contrast, is turning into a fish.

Rangers are not underpowered. They’re just exploration-oriented.
Hello everyone i´m looking to the most funny character here i wait for your votes
batman
I don't know how to answer these polls. Any character could be funny, it is not limited by race or class.
A race/class combination doesn't make a character funny, how you play that character makes them funny. You could have a hilarious human fighter if played right.

Most OP instead of funniest?

This account is kinda old and I haven’t used it in a while
Instead of "OP" I would say most powerful.
At the highest levels it's the Wizard.
At Tier 1 I would say Circle of the Moon Druid.
For races Human Variant for feats or Yuan ti for magic resistance and poison immunity.
