The Funniest People on the Internet in 2025, Ranked

25.Vanillamace

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Vanillamace has made a home for herself on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok, where she has more than 4.6 million followers.

While people may have started following for her blind-boxe content, Vanillamace exploded thanks to a barrage of viral clips, including the "f**k ass Christmas tree" video and the infamous Roblox bar meow moment. Mace has gotten so big, so fast, she even has a video reacting to a YouTube billboard of herself going up in Los Angeles.

Recent hits on Vanillamace's YouTube include L.A. Comic Con, a Renaissance Fair, Rock Climbing, Ikea, and more Roblox. The sky's the limit for this content creator who describes herself as "a girl who doesn't shut up." Never shut up, Vanillamace. -Layla Ahmad

24.Nia Ivy

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Is she Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, or Nia Ivy? Viral sensation and rising pop star Nia Ivy, known for her iconic impersonations of everyone from Barbie to the Princess of Pop, has been dropping celebrity parodies since she blew up in 2022 for her "Pov: every celebrity Netflix documentary trailer ever" video.

Nia has garnered nearly 1.5 million followers across her various platforms, and one of her most viral videos this year, "POV every LA dance class," has accumulated 17.2 million views.

Her impersonations have led her to meet Ariana Grande, where she performed her Nicki Minaj impersonation and even reenacted the “Ariana, what are you doing here?" meme.

Outside of her social media presence, Nia also releases music; her new song "ENCORE" dropped on July 8, 2025.

She may be parodying your favorite celebrity, but she is also determined to become one in her own right. —Tiffany Hunt

23.CalebCity

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Caleb Glass, aka CalebCity, started out making sketch videos on Vine, but when he pivoted to YouTube he really amassed a following. Many of his shorts are simple and relatable, giving them mass appeal, but he isn’t just looking for easy punchlines. The homegrown feel of skits like “How stupid heavy doors make you look” or “The LAST thing you want to hear from your SURGEON!” find him utilizing his environment and everyday objects in playful ways, adding to the everyman appeal of his content.

Longer sketches have the same vibe, like “When the hero is just as smart as the villain,” which showcases his ability to keep building on an idea. Having him one-up himself with lines like “I managed to steal the key before I stole it” adds an absurd layer that shows he knows how to take a simple idea and run with it. No wonder his videos rack up tens of millions of views. - Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

22.Caleb Pressley

Last Year's Ranking: #20

Caleb Pressley, host of the Barstool interview series Sundae Conversations, is the best troll interviewer in the business, more accessible than Philomena Cunk and more endearing than Bobbi Althoff. There's something refreshing about his entire approach—look at his interview with Shane Gillis, for example. The punchlines, based predominantly on wordplay and double entendres, seem designed to tickle the guest as much as the audience. You can see celebrities light up once they realize where the joke is going.

It's a stunt to make fun of someone without coming off as mean-spirited. Some comedians, like Conan O'Brien, would rather turn the joke on themselves. But Pressley walks the thin line every time, and gets away with it. -Kevin Wong

21.Mona

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

TikToker and Instagrammer Mona (@dontcallmeewhitegirl) has made a name for herself for calling it how she sees it. Whether in her new role with the Joe Budden Podcast, with her sketch character work, or in her podcast from Breakbeat Media, one thing stays consistent: Mona is 100%, 100% of the time. Her rawness and realness has garnered her over 700k followers on Instagram alone, with viewers constantly commenting to share their own perspective on her hot takes.

From pop culture topics like Cardi B, JT, and Nicki Minaj's online feud to off-the-wall hypotheticals such as “How would $300 million change your sex life?” Nothing is off-limits. -Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

20.Taryn Delanie Smith

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Taryn Delanie Smith, who you may know as “Denise The Heaven Receptionist” or “Tammy” is a content creator, podcast host, and former Miss New York, has been making comedy skits online for four years.

Mastering various characters and accents on her channel, she achieved recent viral success for skits with her best friend and podcast co-host Tiffani S. Their work is filled with quick-witted lines, dancing around the streets of NYC, and getting real up close and personal on your phone screen.

Smith is exploring the world of streaming too, recently starring as a co-host on Prime Video’s Influenced series, among a handful of other prominent influencers. She also appeared in an episode of the final season of Prime Video’s Harlem. -Tiffany Hunt

19.Funny Marco

Last Year's Ranking: #6

Funny Marco is host of the interview series “Open Thoughts.” He first made a name for himself pulling pranks on YouTube but the content has since shifted to interviews, skits, and even IRL shenanigans. Funny Marco's channel now boasts 1.44 million subscribers, a testament to his focused mindset. As he told Vibe,“As long as you got a resume showing how you treat people, people will love to sit down with you no matter who you are. It’s no different from Oprah when she had her talk show.”

His videos feature him trying different things: whether it’s interviewing Nicki Minaj, buying an ugly house, waxing floors, speed dating, or going on a date with his crush—he even has an episode where he paints with fellow list member Druski.

If you can make KeKe Palmer laugh, you’ve earned your spot on this list. -Layla Ahmad

18.Jeff Teague

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Jeff Teague draws on his experience in the NBA to create a unique lane for comedy. His podcast Club 520 is a vehicle for the kind of insane behind-the-scenes stories about how athletes really act. Most episodes feature Teague recounting the most insane stories from his time in the NBA, while hanging out with his friends DJ Wells and B Hen.

He’s gone viral for his hot takes on pop culture, and his sports reactions, most notably Club 520's coverage of the Luka Dončić trade. Not to mention his takes on whether glizzies are acceptable breakfast foods, baked versus regular spaghetti, and getting sprayed by a skunk. -Layla Ahmad

17.Bomanizer

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

The Canadian creator and actor born Boman Martinez-Reid is known for his sketch comedy and his Keeping Up With the Kardashians-inspired series, “The Bodashians.” Boman had a major rise as one of the first creators to go viral on TikTok in 2020, and since then continues to average millions of views per video. Across platforms, he has about 3 million followers. One of his most successful videos, “The music on every episode of Love Island,” amassed 13 million views on TikTok.

Boman’s most comical trade marks online is holding a glass with random objects in it, breaking character, and his iconic line “I gotta go…I have a thing.”

Boman often collaborates with other creators, including Eden Graham, who often plays a friend, his on-camera sister Alyssa Michael, and his online mother Anabee Martinez. He also made waves as an actor, landing own show with Crave TV and more recently an appearance on an episode of Prime Video’s Overcompensating.

- Tiffany Hunt

16.Kai Cenat

Last Year's Ranking: #14

Of course Kai Cenat is on the list. In fact, this list wouldn't exist in its current form without the guy setting the precedent for comedy online. The man who popularized "rizz" begat Mafiathon, which begat Mafiathon 2, which begat Mafiathon 3. Twitch's biggest star is also its biggest mainstream breakout: he has over 19 million followers on Twitch, and he had over 1 million concurrent views this September for his latest marathon stream — unrivaled feats. Through his live streams, Kai had some of the funniest moments of the year. The final sleepover with Druski and Kevin Hart was a clip-farming jackpot, the Streamer University saga, and random moments of him living everyday life are all examples of how seemingly effortlessly funny Kai is.

It's not so much the incisiveness of his humor as it is the consistency of his humor — in many different contexts, with many different people, with every possible premise. -Kevin Wong

15.Cam'ron

Last Year's Ranking: #16

Cam'ron has made viral news on the evening news a total of three times. This man does not suffer fools, snitches, or stupid questions. The first time was in 2002, when political pundit and alleged serial sexual harasser Bill O'Reilly interviewed Cam about violence in hip-hop , and Cam'ron trolled the hell out of him. ("You mad! You mad!"). The second time was in 2007, when CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked Cam if he would snitch on a serial killer who lived next door. As the internet knows,Cam said he would probably move.

And the third time came almost a year ago, when CNN anchor Abby Phillip asked Cam'ron to comment on Diddy, and he responded by drinking a shot of his male supplement Pink Horse Power, saying he was going to get some "cheeks" after the interview.

Cam'ron is still answering for the third instance but it's like he said on the Breakfast Club: at this point, people should know what they're going to get when they book him. -Kevin Wong

14.KevOnStage

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

KevOnStage is wholesome. His content is like that one chill church homie who could catch the holy ghost one moment, but then have you crying laughing over an observation he makes about the pastor. Humor is a God-given gift for him.

KevOnStage's usual comedic output finds him ruminating on everyday life questions, experiences, and happenings within the Black community that we just kind of accept as facts.

Through his YouTube channel, KevOnStage Studios, he gets his jokes off through his Bald Brothers Podcast with Tony Baker and HeresTheThing, with musician That Chick Angel, while also discussing timely pop culture events. His star has been growing online for a while now, and he has remained true to his core beliefs in the process. -Marc "Spidey" Griffin

13.Vince Staples

Last Year's Ranking: #17

You might be surprised to see Vince Staples on this list, since he’s primarily known for his work as a rapper. But if you were asked to name the funniest rapper right now, it’d be hard to argue with Vince topping that list. Just look at how he answers questions about fans, or listen to him talk about how Bill Nye is overrated (and how he doesn’t trust the Amish). He just has it.

Beyond his public personality, The Vince Staples Show (streaming on Netflix) shows that his ironic takes and sense of humor make for great TV, too. Part music biography, part comedic drama, over two seasons it offers the sort of surreal offbeat comedy and mocking wit that could only spring forth from an artist like him. -Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

12.BenDaDonnn

Last Year's Ranking: #2

Also known as Been Dat, TikTok/Instagram comedian @bendadonnn has amassed more than a million followers thanks to his relatable and comedic shortform content. BenDaDonnn’s recent freestyle as part of Kai’s Mafiathon was commented on by Drake himself: “too bad you got ran out the M and your lyrics don’t match your lifestyle.”

From putting DDG on blast with an embarrassing photo he’d been saving “for if we ever beefed” to complaining about the new trend of going to an after- after-party instead of just hooking up, the self-described Trap Comedian always keeps it real. And his recent video (captioned “Ray J & Desi Banks & Boston Richey Visit my Penthouse”) showcases just how this realness makes him the perfect funnyman in the face of hysterical circumstances. -Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

11.Zack Fox

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Zack Fox has internet humor down to a science. His awkward yet thoughtful jokes have earned him millions of views across interviews with Scott Evans, First We Feast, and our own segment, That's Deep. And now, finally, a spot on this list.

Fox rose to prominence on X using the handle @bootymath.. As the years have passed, his profile has increased significantly, leading to appearances on The Eric Andre Show and Abbot Elementary. He’s still making music too, with jokey hip-hop tracks like “The Bean Kicked In” and “Square Up.” -Devin Nealy

10.Theo Von

Last Year's Ranking: #5

Being funny can be hard work. A professional comedian will spend months, if not years, polishing their public persona and working their craft to get 20 minutes of decent material. At the beginning of their career, a comedian will hit the road, playing in dives and staying in seedy motels. This is a battle-tested path to blowing up. Or, if you're Theo Von, you could get a podcast and skip all that.

Von's standup routines aren't especially great, and the most recent one is rumored to be a disaster; we'll know for sure when it debuts on Netflix, assuming it does. But telling jokes to big crowds has never been the guy's forte anyway. Von is funny in a more intimate context—chatting up another comedian, making asides while shit talking, or relating stories about his childhood to two or three people, rather than a theater of three hundred.

It's that dialogue, that interplay, that makes him shine the brightest. When he's smart, he's insightful, and when he's dumb, he's earnest. One of the best examples of this arrived this year, with his Rizzler interview — do yourselves a favor and check it out. That interview and many more showcase why he's the type of funny that podcasts were made for. -Kevin Wong

9.Lou Young

Last Year's Ranking: #11

Lou Young III transitioned from NFL cornerback to host of YouTube’s The Lou Young Show pretty effortlessly — a testament to his comedic talents. From character work as Uncle Charlie (alongside @BLynncuhh‬’s Aunt Tonya), poking fun at old head culture, to bite-size Instagram takes, he scores big with almost all of his posts.

On Instagram, as @louuuyoung, he’s gained over a million followers, with posts receiving thousands of comments and reactions. His candid takes on relationships in videos about how girls' trips end friendships and advice that you “can’t have sex with everything you see” are observational comedy at its best, delivered with the perspective of that one friend who always has people around him at a party.

Knowing Young’s background as an athlete, it’s no wonder that he had the mentality and grind to grow his online following as quickly as he did. While he started making funny videos in his living room, that path has taken him to both movies (as “Swole Muhfucka” in They Cloned Tyrone) and television.

No wonder his trademark sense of humor serves him so well, whether offering up sports commentary in his series Coach Shlouuu's Corner or even his no-details spared vlogs as he recovers from surgery. When you can make the doctors around you laugh on camera, you’ve got the goods. -Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

8.85 South

Last Year's Ranking: #10

85 South is made up of DC Young Fly, Karlos Miller, and Chico Bean. Known for their iconic podcast and self-titled traveling show they've seen insane success across multiple platforms. Since banding together in 2015 as a comedic supergroup "and a podcast for people who don’t know what a podcast is," 85 has amassed over 3.4 million Instagram followers, 2.7 million YouTube subscribers, 231.7 thousand TikTok followers, and even snagged a Netflix special, aptly titled Ghetto Legends.

Since then, the trio has managed to assemble an impressive lineup of guests over the years, including appearances by Boosie Badazz and Rick Ross. But the group's most recent thought-provoking Monique episode and the quotable Mojo Brookzz episode—spawning( viral moments like "You was there!," "He wearing my daddy's suits," and "Them three wings on the stove"—show that they are still churning out classics a decade into their run. -Layla Ahmad

7.Desi Banks

Last Year's Ranking: #8

Desi Banks is a veteran compared to the other names on this list. He came up during the ancient days of Vine and made his bones doing skits. Nowadays he's on Instagram doing the same, but with higher production values and better camera work.

Desi has Looney Tunes cartoon energy, along with a histrionic high-pitched delivery. His voice is Kevin Hart by way of Chris Tucker, and similar to those two, he's at his comedic best when he's playing the coward, the big mouth that fucked around and found out.

One of the best things about Desi is he surrounds himself with great foils, especially women. Natalie Friedman, Rachael O'Neill, and B. Simone kill their roles every single time. And mainstream success is coming around the corner — this June, Desi announced that he is developing a sitcom with BET, a pivot that a lot of people on this list can't even flex. -Kevin Wong

6.Tony Statovci

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

Tony Statovci is one of those creators who’s become impossible to ignore. With 5.2 million followers on TikTok, 2.9 million followers on Instagram, and 1 million subscribers on YouTube, the odds are you’ve likely come across one of his videos while scrolling at night – and for good reason.

The man is genuinely, inherently funny. In an online space crowded with sketch comedians and reactors, Tony stands out by doing less: there’s no grand production behind his content, his videos are generally shorter, and he doesn't feature any guests. Just Tony and his mind moving at 100 miles per hour.

Take, for example, his video on Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a timely and insane take on how he’d trash talk a vampire. He’s clever, lighthearted, out of pocket, at times meta, and overall the type of person everyone needs to have shown up on their timeline. – Jacob Kramer

5.Quenlin Blackwell

Last Year's Ranking: New Entry

One of the best elements of the internet is watching the organic rise of future moguls. In the Internet age, many celebrities rise and fade away in tandem with the social media platform of choice. Despite initially gaining traction on Vine, the multi-talented Quenlin Blackwell has long outlived the platform's 15 seconds of fame, becoming an internet mainstay and, with her multi-pronged approach to internet laughs, so much more to the culture at large.

Although Blackwell can stun with her looks, she's equally likely to disarm with her effortless comedic timing. With 3 million YouTube followers, her charm and ceiling seem limitless. Her hit series Feeding Starving Celebrities and its successful spin-off, Feeding Starving Influencers, featured countless viral moments and hilarious clips. Notable episodes from both series include guest appearances from Duke Dennis, Gabbriette, Vanillamace, PinkPantheress, and Addison Rae — all of which have pulled in millions of views across YouTube and TikTok. 2025 is also the year that Quen was thrust into the mainstream spotlight, with her accomplishments landing her multiple cover stories – including one of our own.

Showcasing tremendous skill as an interviewer and host, it isn't hard to envision Blackwell as a future Oprah, one who knows her way around a joke. -Devin Nealy

4.Lou Ratchett

Last Year's Ranking: #15

Although Lou Ratchett initially claimed in April 2024 that he would step away from skits to focus on other forms of content, the comedian couldn't seem to stay away, as 2025 saw him ramp up the funny.

His content is kind of weird, and that's why his fans like him. He's famous for his camera work in his skits — specifically, for making everything POV. He currently boasts 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube, 640.7 thousand followers on TikTok, and almost half-a-million followers on Instagram, and it's all because of his hyper-specific approach that, somehow, gets funnier the more you watch.

Lou blew up through clips such as "When you meet her dad" and "When ya mom ain't let you come outside." A clip of his titled "You know they got your mans" went viral two times within the past year: once as a reaction to the Diddy human trafficking lawsuit, and, of course, during the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake feud. His most recent joint, titled, "When Her Ex Ain't Over It," is already starting to have a moment, too.

Lou's raw humor comes from his experiences, and his lack of a filter keeps his fans and the rest of the internet laughing out loud. -Layla Ahmad

3.Tra Rags

Last Year's Ranking: #4

Look no further than “When You Only Know One Person at the Party” for proof that Tra Rags is one of the funniest people on the internet. He doesn’t just post relatably hilarious videos, he finds ways to turn them on their head and push them to the max, amping up the comedy with each passing second.

Best of all? He’s self-aware. As evidenced by his YouTube “tutorial,” “How not to get offended,” Tra Rags has no problem pushing boundaries and owning it, turning past skits about Michael Jackson, police brutality, and suicide hotlines into an even larger commentary about his dark humor that still manages to lampoon the overly-sensitive Karens of the world.

If some of this subject matter made you raise your eyebrows, it’s worth pointing out that his jokes aren’t just cheap shots or rage bait. His character work and approach to his TikToks, Reels, and YouTube videos showcase his strength as a comedian. Even the slightest changes in his facial expressions prove his versatility and add to the overall effect.

Crossing the line means his content often goes viral (thanks in part to those who are offended), which has helped him rack up over a million followers. But even when a video may make you say “I can’t believe Tra went there,” you’ll be happily scrolling to his next video to see how he continues to escalate his humor. -Brent Ervin-Eickhoff

2.Mark Phillips & RDC World

Last Year's Ranking: #3

In recent years we've seen the walls between anime and Black culture come tumbling down. But, no other creators possess RDCWorld's type of dual citizenship in the worlds of anime and hood comedy. The brainchild of Affiong Harris and Mark Phillips, the Texas-based film collective RDCWorld gained early success with skits that gave anime humor an edge. As RDCWorld's popularity expanded, so did its range of subject matter. Tackling everything from the NBA to rap beefs with their trademark wit, RDCWorld is known for uploading their comedy seemingly seconds after a newsworthy event occurs.

Despite being around for years, RDCWorld still holds court as one of the finest jesters of the internet age. As the architects of the massive and influential convention DreamCon, RDCWorld, whose name means Real Dreams Change the World, has proven its moniker to be shockingly accurate. -Devin Nealy

1.Druski

Last Year's Ranking: #1

Yep, Druski is the funniest person on the internet. Again. Given the run of videos the veteran comedic genius put out in 2025, can you really be shocked?

One thing to love about Druski is his aggression. He knows what effect he wants to have, and he has a plan for eliciting that reaction. His delivery — a deep, expressive rasp — is cracking with energy, like a young Patrice O'Neal. Druski is weird and self-aware in his skits, and he's a surprisingly physical comedian for a man his size.

His improvisational skills are bar none, and his enthusiasm is infectious. And when he commits to the bit, he goes hard. Druski's Coulda Been Records auditions (a send-up of American Idol) comprise some of his funniest online compilations, with his Coulda Been Love dating show running a close second. This man is a phenomenal roaster; he can zero in on a person's weak spot and find something witty to say about it, all in the time it takes for the target to walk in the room.

He doesn't slow down, he doesn't let up, and he puts out a mountain of new material each week, with the budget of a reality-television show. Take, for example, that uber-viral Mark Wahlberg skit; the budget, time, and gloss are there, obviously, but Druski's insistence on going places other funnymen wouldn't is truly the star in that video. I mean, why would you ask Mark Wahlberg if he's from the hood? No idea, but for Druski, of course, it makes sense, and these kinds of jokes land every time. Or maybe his other mega-viral skit, where Druski dresses up as a white man and infiltrates a NASCAR event. If somehow you haven't seen that, stop reading. Whatever amount he paid that makeup artist, it wasn't enough. Just how the amount of praise and love Druski got for those skits wasn't enough. -Kevin Wong
