Usopp is the Straw Hat Crew’s comedian..

(and everyone else just has good timing).

So, I came across a YouTube video a while back ranking the Straw Hats by who’s the funniest. Luffy was #1 and Usopp was #2. And look, the biased Usopp fan in me was triggered. I was like—wait a minute! Usopp is the comic relief! He’s had some of the most iconic funny moments in the series! But the more I thought about it, the more I realized—Luffy is funny too, just in a different way. His deadpan reactions, lack of social awareness, and occasional shady one-liners are hilarious in their own right.

But then it hit me—there’s a difference between being funny and keeping your audience entertained. Some characters are effortlessly funny, but Usopp is a performer. He knows how to hold a crowd.

It actually reminded me of a common sitcom trope: the main character and their comedian friend both audition for a comedy show or try to entertain a crowd. The main character, with zero experience, suddenly gets all the laughs. Meanwhile, the comedian friend flops and starts doubting themselves. But then comes a moment when the main character bombs—they can’t connect with the crowd. And it’s the pro—the comedian—who saves the day. Why? Because they know their audience. They've done this before.

Examples? In The Loud House, Lincoln temporarily takes over Luan’s comedy gig, only to totally flop when performing for a tough crowd—until Luan swoops in with her mime routine and wins them over. Or that Fresh Prince episode where DL Hughley guest stars as Will’s comedian friend. Will’s charm works... until it doesn’t. Then DL steps in and shows what seasoned funny really looks like.

So yeah—Luffy is funny. Several Straw Hats are. But Usopp? Usopp is the one who keeps the crowd going. He has performance chops. He’s a storyteller. He’s got cringe humor, self-deprecation, dramatic flair, and raw honesty. He’s not just funny—he’s entertaining. And to me, that’s a whole different tier of humor.

No shade to the other Straw Hats. I just want to remind folks why Usopp is in a league of his own.
