How would you make a female BBEG that isfunny?
make her Rita Repulsa or some other saturday morning cartoon villian
>>47550146
One of my childhood crushes.
>AHHHH!
>>47550032
Make her a literal failed comedian. She turned to supervillainy, but still occasionally attempts to crack a bad pun and is dismayed every time nobody even smiles.
>>47550032
Frankly, probably the same way I'd make a funny male villain.
>>47550032
>Have them shoud "I have a great sense of humor" in an angry voice all the time
>>47550032
Really emphasize how she's a woman and if they don't find her funny then they are misogynists
Make them really awkward socially, possibly have her lick a gun or staff or some shit.
Or if she's black have her scream all the time.

only she can make my monster grow
DM had a "master" thief/rogue girl BBEG who was pretty hilarious because of how incompetent yet overly complicated in planning she was. We're talking Wil E. Coyote level failure shenanigans combined with Rube Goldberg-style complexity plans. Also self confident so she could at least claim that everything had gone according to plan or that she was victorious because one small tiny thing went right or because we the party slipped up somehow.

That sounds amazing, I'm stealing it.
>>47550032
I don't know how to make a funny male villian, but I think taking some pointers from Lord Berus would be really good
>>47551514
ACME strikes again!
>>47550032
Have the BBEG interaction with someone like a henchmen
Usually you can get the funny out
Make her a lovable bitch instead.

Those fucking hips man, jesus
>>47550032
The same way you'd make a funny male BBEG.
>>47550032
Sort of unrelated, but I really like the idea of a supervillaness with a really supportive husband.
Like after a day of foiled crime attempts, she flies home to her lair, all tired and frustrated with her lack of success, but then she's greeted by her husband and maybe a foot rub or something, and she calms down a bit.
Hubby asks about her day, knowing full well she won't stop speaking for at least a half hour. She'll probably side-track a bit, talking about how much she loathes those sissy do-gooders who always feel the need to stop her, or maybe just about how great she is. He doesn't mind, though. He loves her.
Goddamn, I need to write this.
>>47550412
My childhood crush was Maleficent.
>>47553265
Sounds a bit like these two
>>47551514
This sounds amazing. I'd love to run her.
But I can't, since one of my players would insist on edgelord torturing/executing her upon capture, and get into a huge argument with two of the others, which would spill out of the game.
Fuck my group.
>>47553922
Failure of her schemes is invariably explosive and sends her flying off.
Also if modern game, she has that worldwide tv broadcast gizmo which switches on accidentally to show the world her sulking and ranting in her lair. She doesn't realize she is broadcasting it.
>>47553265
My villains as a default have loved ones. I'm not saying it always comes up but I think adds a nice bit of depth to their character.
>>47553342
I want Maleficent to sit on my face
>>47550032
Same as you would a male BBEG, by making his/her behavior and speech humorous. Shit bait, 0/10.
>>47550032
The BBEG is a shapeshifting sorceress who is immensely powerful, beautiful and seductive. The whole nine yards.
Unfortunately for her, a previous magical accident have made her shapeshifting powers totally unreliable.
At any given moment her powers might decide to jump things ahead and change her into a new form. This gets especially awkward when she's trying to make a speech, strongarming someone in a political negotiation, or seducing someone. One moment the king is receiving threats from the sorceress, the next there's an over-excited faerie jumping up and down in front of him and yelling in a squeaky voice. There's no end of potential mishaps and frustration in store.
>>47550032
Keep reinforcing the fact that she is funny and that women can be funny, have her do some awkward slapstick or some low brow sexual innuendo that feels uncomfortable. Have her remind everyone that she isn't like regular women and shes cool and fun :)

Make him the town's shopkeeper that is constantly nagging her for kids and you've got a pretty good story on your hands
>>47552528
Are u ok anon?
I can't see what you're seeing
>>47553342
>>47550032
I wouldn't.
Women aren't funny.
>>47555646
women are scary.
>>47550032
>>47555646
don't tell them that, someone will start a social media smear campaign against you.
>>47550032
Make her some kind of demented housewife type that always put on a flowery apron for the blood sacrifice and insist minions wear slippers in the dungeon
>>47555768
Half lich, half stepford wife
>>47554780
Christ. I'm fucking dying already.
Women can't be funny.
Go ahead, prove me wrong.
Like this, but you've got to do the laugh to really seal the whole "crazy" deal.
>>47556597
You ever seen a woman trip?
>>47556742
Like, falling on her ass or on acid?I've seen bothThey're both pretty funny
>>47550032
Tammy 2 from Parks & Rec could be a good starting point. An evil succubus whose over-the-top behavior is pretty funny.
>>47550032
Remember 30 Rock, Tina Fey's and Alec Baldwin's characters? Make it that.
Liz Lemon the Warlock, Jack the demon she works for.
>>47557711
This by a mile.

>>47550032
Be over the top and cartoonish. Actual female comedians tend to fall flat.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>47566989
It isn't just going to magically happen, anon. It's social shit. Yeah, they're different, but they're not always different.
Shit, generalising is hard. Maybe we shouldn't be talking about this and just maybe provide some more good examples of humorous female villains.
>>47555669
Abso-fucking-lutely this.
>>47553922
>one of my players would insist on edgelord torturing/executing her upon capture
that shit right there
FUCK that. I've been through that as a GM. I feel your pain.
>>47566894
Why?
Like, what is it about him that you don't like?
Sometimes being "funny" isn't the personality you think.
Consider making her genius level smart, but she's lonely for someone on her level, and tries too hard to be "funny" as a hobby. She's surrounded by capable sycophants, and the interplay between her and her staff is like watching a sitcom.
She's actually interested in the adventurers because they're smart or interesting, and have seen places she doesn't have the freedom to see. She's eager to strap them to tables in her dungeon and try some of her stand-up routine on them.
>>47551514
Holy shit, that's the character I'm running RIGHT NOW.
How can my character be funny if I'M not funny?
Checkmate, me.;_;

Missed it. Big Bird would make a great BBEG
>>47569955
Who would be her Charlie?
If you have to ask, then you aren't funny.
Women can't be funny.
>>47572507
Women trying to be funny and failing is pretty funny though, see >>47569955
>>47569955
The Big Bird needs to have some minions doesn't she?
>>47572507
You need to work on some better material, anon. That joke's gone stale.

Ain't it obvious?
Women cannot be funny.
Just make Yzma from "The Emperor's New Groove" a lich and you're ready to go. She's got her whole mad scientist shtick, comes with a dedicated hench/straightman and according to an unused script idea wanted to blot out the sun.
Perfect comedic villainess material.
>>47569955
Bad example, she's the worst part of the show
>>47575376
Seriously Dennis, just fuck off.
