Wash. Hands down.

"We all hoped you two kids would get together. Who is she?"

I chuckle out loud the most to Wash.
"She's terse. I can be terse. One time in flight school I was laconic."
"I've been in a firefight. I was in a fire once. Actually, I was fired, from a fry cook opportunity."
"Wacky fun."

more Jayne

Simon: “What about cortical electrodes?”
Jayne: “Oh! ... We forgot 'em.”

Jayne: “Unable to get a neuro...”
Simon: “Response!”
Jayne: “Response! Hell, I don't know, if I'd wanted schooling I'd've gone to school!”

Jayne: “Nothin' buys bygones quicker than cash! Maybe I'll give him a tattoo while he's out.”

Jayne: “What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this? You'll use up all the air!”

Jayne: “Not as deceivin' as a low-down, dirty, ... deceiver.”
Mal: “Well said.”

Jayne: “You guys had a riot? On account of me? My very own riot?”

Jayne: “You gonna talk me to death, buddy? Is that the plan?”

Badger: “I had a problem with your attitude, is why. I thought you was... what's the word...”
Jayne: “Pretentious?”
Mal: (looks at Jayne, disbelieving)
Badger: “Exactly!”

Mal: “No one's gonna mind if we take a look around, see if there's not something of value they might have left behind.”
Jayne: “Yeah! No, uh, someone could be hurt!”

Sadly I can do this all day:)

My vote comes down to a neck-and-neck race between Wash and Jayne. Wash is so downright hilarious, which is his character... and Jayne doesn't try to be funny, but he's just so backwards, and sincere about it, that he's tremendously funny!

My favorite scene of perhaps the whole series, and a dialogue exchange I can watch over and over without it getting old, is in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when Jayne offers "Vera" to Mal as a trade for little Mrs. Reynolds... prompting an exchange that leads to the highly memorable quote from Mal, "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are definitely coming to a middle!"

LOL!!!!

I make my living helping people get well before they get sick! It's very rewarding!

wants to kidnap you.”

Wash, then Mal.

Preferably Wash and Mal:

Wash: Well, if she doesn't get us some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burnthrough this landing is gonna get pretty interesting.

Mal: Define "interesting".

Wash: Oh God, oh God we're all gonna die?

I think that scene would have to when I began to fall in love with Wash. That one is so classic! The whole scene is so funny. If only I knew then how many hilariously funny Firefly scenes I had yet to discover...

Of course, Mal's line directly after that proves how funny he can be, too. "This is the captain . . . we may experience some slight… turbulence, and then explode."

And if I really want to illustrate here, I could take it one step further with Jayne's "We're gonna explode? I don't wanna explode." and the whole grenade business.

So, bringing this around to a point (I have one, right?)... Hands down, no question about it (for me), Wash is the funniest. He makes me laugh more often than anyone else. He's just so funny in a way that's different from pretty much any other character I've ever seen. Very original. (Eccentric was a good word for Alan Tudyk's style, Deepgirl187.) I would place Jayne in second for his stupidity (sorry, it's true) and his obsession with weaponry, and Mal not far behind him with his... well, I don't know how to describe his humor, but he's awfully funny at times.
