Top Fifteen Craziest Characters

What can I say, insanity rules.
My definition of insane might be very different from your definition of insane, so be lenient. I had fun for the first half of the video, but during the top 3 I went braindead, so I hope that doesn't show.
Also, you will not get the joke for #2 if you have not seen Nostalgia Critic's "Kazaam" review.

Very fitting that Albedo is number 2 since Crispin Freeman said that he loves playing characters on the edge between sanity and insanity

[@andrewscott2583]

"You like meeeeeen" "You can see into my mind?" "No" "Fuck"

[@furyunleash22]

As a big fan of the Rabbids, I don't care that they're at the bottom of the list. Just the fact they're on there is good enough for me. Thanks, Josh. :D

[@wolfhurricane897]

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[@MimikyuCookie]

FrankenHeavy yes

[@ericwijaya2119]

Bro same

[@paulcarbone2188]

Sweet tooth from twisted metal should have made this list. not because he's a psychotic murderous clown but because, after the entire competition, after risking life and limb on multiple occasions, his request from an apparently omnipotent being who will grant him any wish... is a brown paper bag... who he refers to as Crazy Harold the Wacky Lunch sack... as he drives off... with his hand inside it.

[@wolfhurricane897]

Sweet Tooth is the name of the truck he drives. The clown is named Needles Kane.

[@thegamerator10]

Sheogorath for President 2020. "Cheese for everyone!"

[@Jaceblue04]

Sheogorath is just as crazy in Skyrim as he is in Oblivion's Shimmering Isles DLC.

[@sydnerd101]

I agree with Albeido being freaky. As someone who watched all of the Xenosaga cut-scenes, Albeido is a constant presence. In the first game, he was introduced with everything stated in the video. In the second game, Albeido is given a backstory. Which is basically that he grew up as pretty much mass produced children to use as weapons (668 made in total, Albeido being #667). Albeido had the ability to regenerate his limbs, after severely injuring one of the other kids, Albeido discovered that he was the only one that could regenerate. After that, Albeido started separating from the two siblings that he valued most: Rubido (#666) and Gienon (#668). Albeido wanted to avoid the pain caused by outliving Rubido and Gienon. By the end of Xenosaga Episode II, Albeido was the final boss (again) and was killed. In Xenosaga Episode III, Albeido was revived and surprisingly somewhat less insane. In the middle of the game, Albeido died for good.

[@aunayuri-kormoamae1533]

[@rizanatsuhara1008]

I thought Junko Enoshima should be on this. Granted, she's not a "killer" but she still is insane and kills people...indirectly.

[@Screwy]

Riza Natsuhara It only just came out in Japan the time this video was made

[@rizanatsuhara1008]

Oh...wait. Are you talking about the first or second game?

[@Screwy]

Riza Natsuhara First. Second was in 2012, and DR1 only just got a fan patch in 2013 DR2 was only just translated this past September

[@rizanatsuhara1008]

Riza Natsuhara Oh. Now I feel stupid.

[@Screwy]

Riza Natsuhara Don't sweat the small stuff. Have *hope* instead.

[@cpcrazyweb]

I like dogs. Dogs are pretty

[@CrasherX2000]

cpcrazyweb *record scratch* Uh, ok...

[@Krwzprtt]

Alice Liddell. Insane in a...f*cked up and kinda tragic way. "I don't fear death. I welcomed it sometimes" And then butcher some card guards.

[@sweetwheatsy]

I just recently thought of this video and had to rewatch it. It's ofc a bit antequated (mostly a bit too short for each entry), but the whole final segment and the division of each type of insanity at the end is still pretty genious. Hope you'll remake this someday. (also, for some reason I thought Alex Rochon had made this, so took longer than I expected to find it)

[@BiolizardthePrototype]

If there were to be an update to this list, the Pyro would be on it somewhere

[@wolfhurricane897]

either Pyro or Medic.

[@CrasherX2000]

sarah williamson he wasn't really insane He just sold weird mask If you ask me, he's more mysterious because in the end of Majora's Mask, he just disappears without a trace

[@GamerGirl2001]

No Zelda character? No Happy Mask Salesman, no King Zant, NO LORD GHIRAHIM?!?! Oh well, to each his own.

If you were to make another crazy video game list just imagine all of the options such as, Eddie gluskin(outlast), Alice Liddell(American McGee), Josh Washington(Until Dawn), Vaas(Far Cry 3?), Lily or Tabitha(Fallout New Vegas), Crazy Hand(super smash bros), Paula(Shadows of the Damned), Sasha(Infamous), The Lodger(Knock Knock), Doug Rattman(Portal), Flowey or Chara(Undertale), old rockers from Alan Wake, asylum patients(Psychonauts), Torque(The Suffering). Damn a lot of choices

[@WolfGeek64]

Do it Josh

[@CrasherX2000]

christian rodriguez not crazy hand All that we know of him is that his movements are erratic and he's "crazy" hand There isn't too much too him canonically (Master and Crazy hand first existed from Kirby btw)

[@thecplman1]

I don't know if this was intended to be only video game characters, but if not, I'd probably put the Joker on this list.

[@bad-xtian7773]

@@CrasherX2000. I'll agree there isnt much to go on personality wise other than Crazy Hand being destructive, but both hands originally appeared in the Super Smash Brothers series, so no they arent from Kirby

I still think Albedo should've been #1! Is it weird if i still find him hot? O.O his backstory is heartbreaking though T^T

[@blessedboydragon]

I find him awesome and relate to an extent as well as Rubedo :3

[@Blahblahblah28504]

No it's not weird you find him hot.

[@neildivins2844]

The wheat rant had me laughing so hard I missed the rest of the scene

[@BradRLee]

I heard a theory that Aran Ryan uses moves like head-butting because is irish wresling those are traditional moves.

[@derrickhaggard7053]

happymask118 Still technically illegal since Aran Ryan is a boxer not a wrestler.

[@BradRLee]

Derrick Haggard Yes, but since he's a cheater he probably would implement illegal moves into his move roster.

[@derrickhaggard7053]

happymask118 Which is why I like to say concerning Aran Ryan the WVBA officals and refs are either blind, don't really care about boxing regulations, or they're just plain idiots.

[@BradRLee]

Derrick Haggard Well considering that Sandman *threw a ref to the ground* in punch out wii and Super Macho Man exits the ring in a helicopter, I think it takes ALOT to get disqualified.

[@derrickhaggard7053]

happymask118 Like I say the officals who run the WVBA are either blind, don't even care about boxing regulations, or are just stupid idiots. Because if I recall didn't that one character in Super Punchout utilize kicks as one his moves.

[@philmp6]

Watching this again after like 3 years, holds up pretty well (but could use a remake)

[@aimeeknowles6700]

thank you for putting Albedo on the list because he really needed to be on one for once so keep up the good work Joshscorcher and keep making these glorious lists.

[@ihavenogfgudnight1743]

Was I the only one who laughed at the clown's death

[@camrynbiddinger826]

no you weren't.

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I was actually able to watch that whilst eating a chocolate bunny! This is coming from someone who's grossed out by mucus and fecal matter (though, for some reason, not even phased by blood or vomit)!

[@Modsu]

no he was laughing the whole time, remember?

[@hverdagen8429]

"Even the URL where I found this clip realises he is wacko!" e_o lmao

[@theeternalslayer]

Hmm well i would put tiny tina from borderlands 2 or even just the entire planet of pandora cuz everyones insane

[@LeviathanTamer31]

Tiny Tina is a bit more delightfully insane as she puts her skills to good use and they're often used in jokes that she actually thinks will make you laugh... she also makes up 'raps' on the spot about the most random of things.

[@theeternalslayer]

Kylee Smalley torgue is just awesome crazy like fawlful

[@UnfitNinjuh]

slaymaster999 What about the Tour de Meat cyclist Krieg? He is basically THE berserker class of Borderlands 2, and the first class in any RPG game to have a playstyle based around suicide. I also agree that Tiny Tina would be Bad Girl off Ritalin with a backstory.

[@GhostPlanetFilms]

AWSM list, Mr. Scorch! ESPECIALLY that thing at the end...

[@saoakden92]

I really like this countdown. Anytime I watch it, I'm always entertained. Definitely one of my favorite countdowns by joshscorcher or The Fiery Joker.

Nice to see a Xenosaga antagonist on this list. That series doesn't get enough respect.

"I like dogs. Dogs are pretty" *Tom and Jerry commercial plays* Good timing :3

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

Question; Ever consider doing an updated version of this countdown? I mean, it's been nearly 8 years since this video was released, and hundreds of new games with dozens, if not hundred of crazy characters that were introduced, and many of them are crazier than the characters that're on this list.

[@donatokawakameva]

I like Albedo. :D

[@charadreemerr4195]

I would've been a great contestant for this list.

[@CrasherX2000]

Chara Dreemerr Undertale wasn't released when he made this video Sorry Chara (Please don't kill me)

[@agenttex5973]

Meh Floweys a better contender

[@newbiegamelover4767]

I wouldn't necessarily call you crazy; you just kinda lose your temper and take it out on us for murdering your family. Plus, you only make one appearance, so there really isn't much to work off of.

[@lunaluxray2564]

Joshes reaction to albedo is hilarious

[@trexalfa]

Wasn't expecting Albedo either, and he was on a HIGH spot

[@neond6740]

For me, Dimentio trumps Kefka easily. Dimentio is named after *DEMENTIA!*

[@HellishSpoon]

did he real just say "sorry man"? 11:15...beCUS thats funny

[@totallycrazystudios1801]

I think he said ma'am but it's still funny

[@BiggestCheeser]

I wonder if Buzzo would’ve been on the list if it was made a few years later -Obsesses over a dead girl -A complete sociopath -Literally makes your life hell -Intends on keeping your mutated form for himself basically as a pet Then again he did kinda come to his senses eventually.... Heck one could argue that Lisa herself would be a good contender

[@fateparadox01]

Albedo made me obsessed with Xenosega (as well as KOS-MOS for she was badass as hell) do to his poetic nature and Kefka is just god damn insane and had me mesmerizing his whole script example:"There's a reason oppose rhythms with dispose.""If they get in your way kill them" Gotta love insanity in video games fro it makes the game 10 times more entertaining

[@jakeysdude1113]

Vass from Farcry 3 should of been on this list

(2 is intentionally left blank)

Hey, where is the Kefka footage from, the 3d one?

[@Lady162]

This is a nice list! However, if you were ever to remake it...maybe consider Daniella from "Demento"/"Haunting Ground?" Just a suggestion. Of course, that game's kinda a mess to play through so...Yeah...pursue at own risk... However, if you're morbidly curious, look up "Daniella haunting ground laugh." Once again, just a suggestion! I really enjoyed the vid! :)

Gotta say, I'm with ya on the Kefka bit, he's wacky, but has a reason, he's 'illogical', but is 'competent'. Also, love the end bit with the Joker quote, it fit so perfectly, the motions, and timing, just, perfect it's disturbing in itself.

Hey Josh. Where would you fit Ghirahim from Skyward Sword on this list? Just asking.

I must admit I was pleased to see Albedo so high on the list, he really does deserve a position up there.

[@AsuranFish]

That last scene with Albedo... he really reminds me of Heath Ledger's Joker.

[@DaveFloatzelloverSimon]

Would you call Zuo Ci from DW5 crazy or the leader of the yellow turbins cause I really can't tell who is the crazier one

[@KusanagiWarrior16]

Looking at the description of Josh's BlazBlue opening upload and seeing this list makes me think that if he had played the game, Hazama would DEFINITELY have been on this list.

Sander Cohan’s poem was about the rabbit masks that everyone in Rapture wore when the shit hit the fan.

[@jeramahia123]

Kai from Heavenly Sword. Not only is she insane, but she's just lovable and entertaining as all hell to watch. Mad Hatter from Alice. He was crazy in the books, but now he's bat shit in a volcano crazy. Getting creative with people's body parts and his fixation with tea time and time itself has gone from just curious to maddening and murderous obsession. Mordin Solus: nuf said. Alice Liddell. The fact that she all of Wonderland is part of her mind gives us enough to say that she's insane.

[@tubadude07]

What's the character from the number transition?

[@wolfhurricane897]

I know this video is old but i wanna throw my two cents into the honorable mentions bucket. Hajime Busuzima from Bloody Roar. Known as Busuzima The Chameleon he is a Zoanthrope with the ability to turn into a giant chameleon and was a former scientist of Tylon the main antagonists of the first Bloody Roar and then became the big bad secret boss of the Zoanthrope Liberation Front while performing all sorts of experiments such as turning Mitsuko's daughter Uriko into a chimera in the first game and messing up her Zoanthrope DNA so much she can only halfway transform, brainwashing Kenji into being an assasin for the Z.L.F. and the next Bakuryu, and his magnum opus in my opinion of his twisted experiments turning a regular human and fellow scientist Steven Goldberg into a humanoid insect Zoanthrope that now goes by the name Stun The Insect. Also his fighting style is listed as Deception which translates in gameplay into wildly flailing his arms and legs, he breaks the 4th wall in his story ending in Bloody Roar 2 before he gets curbstomped by the heroes he says they all came back because they chose "Continue", and in Bloody Roar 4 he chases after a little girl Zoanthrope who he refers to as "Little Fox" and before facing off against the final boss in the arcade mode he says a line only a predator would say. "Little fox. This old man's going to take you to a gooood place....ok?".

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

I feel like this list needs to be revisited. There have been plenty of crazy people in videogames in the last couple of years that would qualify.

[@Sjors_]

You wanna hear a fun fact about Sander Cohen? The piece he forces his assistant Fitzpatrick to play is composed with the sole intent to torture the pianist. It takes forever to learn because there's no particular melody in the middle part of it. And he wants the poor guy to play faster. And when he doesn't... Death.

[@domo5671]

[@CryBlueofZ]

I CAN BELIEVE YOU GUYS DID NOT ADD THE MEDIC IN THIS COUNT DOWN

[@Zyk0th]

My favorite is Sheogorath. Because he's the only character on this list that's in a game I've played. I've actually only met him in Skyrim and original Oblivion in his side-quest. Oblivion's storyline is so long I've never had the patience to complete it. Plus, the facts that you level up slowly combined with the fact that it is *very* hard to get a significant amount of money in this game (at least, compared to Skyrim) makes it very easy fro you to become underpowered. Once, during the battle of Kvatch, every enemy was like a miniboss to me. (I apologize if you were annoyed by me getting off topic.)
