02Appearance
The Funniest is a tall man with a slim body. He has thick angled eyebrows and is described as being identical to his grandfather but with his curls cut short. He has light curly hair pointed upwards, curling into several wide rings.↗↗
The Funniest wears an ordinary suit and tie. The top of his tie has a star.↗
03Personality
Similar to the original universe's Funny Valentine, The Funniest is a dignified but immoral patriot. For the sake of the United States, he acts militantly and threatens to flip Morioh and all of its citizens when the town suddenly detaches itself from Japan and becomes an island sailing west toward America.↗↗
Like his father, he does not hesitate to kill others for the sake of achieving his goals. He threatens to remotely detonate the H. G. Wells Spaceship that his father and the other astronauts are on, lying that it is to prevent Ultimate Kars from returning to Earth. In reality, this was a scripted cover-up that he and his father had planned beforehand. Funnier had already negotiated with Kars, offering to provide him a method of reentry to Earth as long as he refrained from eating Americans.↗↗↗
He is brave and risk-taking, staying calm as he jumps down from a helicopter without any parachute.↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
The Funniest has the same Stand as the Funny Valentine from the second universe where the first Steel Ball Run race took place, as well as a different Funny Valentine from an unknown universe. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C), enables him access at any time to any number of alternate worlds/universes/dimensions. If desired, he may swap bodies with his counterparts, granting him pseudo-immortality. This requires him to get caught between two objects, such as a flag and the ground. He can warp others away with the same process.↗
