He will be always remembered as one of the iconic villains of all time. Officer Tenpenny is an amusing character with some really great jokes. He knows perfectly how to irritate CJ and crack the perfect joke at the perfect time. He perfectly knows that CJ and his (Tenpenny) partner have to obey him and he can easily manipulate them the way he deems fit.

In every mission (from start to end), Officer Tenpenny was like bad news for CJ. The officer is mostly sarcastic to everyone around him and tries to bully everyone for his own benefit. He uses his position to make everything hard for CJ.

In San Andreas, officer Tenpenny’s best line from the title is, “We can s**t on you from such a height, you’ll think God himself has crapped on you.”

Niko Bellic from GTA IV is also pretty funny, some people feel. His dark past, his running away from it, gives his character an extra depth. This is why when he does or says something funny, there’s an element of contrast at play.
