It’s only fitting that we start off with the king of all card types. From the moment Magic: The Gathering was first released in 1993, it has become a staple in the gaming world. The game has amassed an enormous, loyal fan base, and has since spawned some of the most memorable and hilarious cards in the history of gaming. A lot of times, when people are asked to name the funniest cards in Magic, they’ll go with cards such as Wrath of God, but for the true Magic fan, there’s no such thing as a “bad” card.
It’s the start of a new month, which means it’s time to find out what we’re going to do for a few minutes of our lives. In this year’s edition of the Varsity Gaming Top 20 Funniest Cards of All Time, we’ve got a variety of hilarious sports cards, as well as some other silly cards, which we’ll go over at the end of the post.
Yu-Gi-Oh is a game based on the evil magic of ancient Egypt that unfolds in the world and the resulting battles between good and evil.So it makes perfect sense that a map of Hamburg exists!
This game has its share of strange, funny and just plain stupid cards. And I think they deserve to be recognized too.
In this list, we take a look at the funniest (and weirdest) cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, from the oddities of the cards to the ridiculous effects and everything in between!
20. Weather forecast
This guy gets points for weird art and stupid effects.
When it is returned, you can destroy your opponent’s lightsaber. If you manage to destroy one, you get two combat phases in your next attack.
This is one of the most specialized cards I’ve ever seen in Yu-Gi-Oh:
What are the chances that not only your opponent has the Swords of Revealing Light, but that you have this type open as well?
His art is also just bizarre. It’s as if someone in Konami’s graphics department was in a hurry, drew a face on a rubber ball and decided that was enough.
10/10, never change the weather forecast.
19. Master of Oz
Master of Oz is Yu-Gi-Oh’s attempt to represent Australia in one card, and I like it.
You conjure it up by combining a koala and a kangaroo, two of Australia’s most Australian animals.
What do you get if you do this?
A colossal koala with a scary moustache, alarmingly large armpit hair and boxing gloves. This makes sense!
You may also recognize the famous rock plateau in the background. This is a reference to one of Australia’s most popular natural attractions, Uluru!
A nice reference to the country and much more flattering to Australians than the koala in front.
18. Interplanetary Purifying Dragon
I am 90% sure that those who named this card could not decide on a name and chose a mishmash of all the possibilities.
The name of this card is ridiculous – and it makes for some hilarious interactions.
Yu-Gi-Oh has a lot of interactions where you have to specifically say the name of the card to target it, and this guy makes it much more fun.
Trying to imagine your opponent uttering the Interplanetary Purpliter Dragon without making mistakes is hilarious, and I highly recommend it.
What’s even better is that the OCG version of this card has a normal name! This guy was originally named Thorney, the purple dragon from another world.
It looks cool, and much less wordy than Dragon Interplanetarypurplythorny.
17. Generosity jar
The generosity pot is an imitation of all the other Yu-Gi-Oh pot cards, such as the greed pot and the duality pot.
All of these pot cards are associated with drawing more cards, except for this one.
With the generosity pot, bring cards from your hand back into your deck.
I can’t think of any use for this card.
If you’re in a hurry, maybe you can bend your opponent a little? If you can do that in a duel and still win, then you really deserve the title of King of the Games.
16. Slush
This postcard balances on the border between eccentric and charming.
It looks exactly like what you’d expect: an ice-cold drink that you’d find in arcades as a kid, but has come to life and spread everywhere.
It has a pretty good effect for water decks, but I like the idea of Yu-Gi-Oh having a card that is literally just a potion.
What’s even better is that Konami clearly hasn’t forgotten about this map either. It has been reissued in one of the current Speed Duel sets!
Forget the Mega Tin reissues, this is exactly the kind of reissue I want to see in Yu-Gi-Oh!
15. Parasite Paracid
Paracid Parasite is one of the worst cards ever banned from a tournament.
And during the lockout, all Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments were played in remote duels via video calls – making it physically impossible to play Paracid Parasite!
It must be placed face up in your opponent’s pile to activate its effect.
The only way I can think of to do this is to send that card to the opponent, pause the duel until he gets the card, and then start over once he has the card in his hand. Well, in tournaments, I can imagine it slows down the games a bit…..
In a head-to-head game, this card is just as strange.
That is, you place a card face up in your opponent’s deck.
I don’t think Yu-Gi-Oh has anything like that. You can definitely tell that this map was made during Konami’s more experimental period in the early history of Yu-Gi-Oh.
14. Humpty Grumpty
OK, I’ve heard of stuffed eggs, but this is ridiculous.
This card is pretty mediocre in terms of effects, but it earns points for its originality.
This is a parody of the children’s rhyme Humpty Dumpty and in this case it shows an egg with tiny devil’s horns and a tail running away from something screaming.
There are so many disturbing moments in art on this map.
Those little baby legs, that strangely detailed face, those cheekbones that Eddie Redmayne would envy, combine to make one of the strangest Yu-Gi-Oh cards I’ve ever seen.
13. Inmato
I’d like to do this:
What can a tomato do to go to jail?
Oddly enough, this is not the only card in the Inmato series – there have been more mishaps.
That’s right, there’s a whole mini-archetype based on tomatoes in prison. It only has 2 members, but that may change in the future.
I’m surprised that this archetype hasn’t received more support in recent years, and I can only pray that one day we’ll be lucky enough to have more veg-criminals in Yu-Gi-Oh.
But so far, this map is absolutely hilarious and not bad for most plant games.
12. Hungry Burger
Hungry… A hamburger?
Is that thing you’re eating… hungry?
Hungry Burger was created at a time when ritual monsters were an oddity in Yu-Gi-Oh.
Since then, we’ve had some good Rituals decks, like Nekroz, and players generally recognize Rituals as a solid deck – except, of course, Hungry Burger.
With the release of the new generic support ritual, some players have taken the initiative to make this card a main player in an OTK deck.
They can now be officially killed by a literal hamburger in one shot. And if that doesn’t make you proud of Yu-Gi-Oh, I don’t know what will!
11. Toad genius
Sometimes the Koami translation team makes a mistake (the Mecca Knight Avram is a perfect example).
In other cases, they succeed.
Depending on who you ask, Toadally Awesome is one thing or another.
The original name of this type was Treatoad, because of the orange color of its head.
I don’t know how they went from this card to Toadally Awesome, but it’s one of my favorite cards in the entire game, so I’m not complaining!
The strange thing is that this card, as silly as it may seem, is actually a competitive beast.
It breathed new life into almost all frog games, and Toadally Awesome is still widely used today.
10. Humble Guardian
Like Pot of Generosity, this card is a parody of Yu-Gi-Oh’s too-powerful card.
This card mocks The Mighty Sentry, an enchantment card that allows you to look at your opponent’s hand and shuffle a card back.
Humble Sentry is the exact opposite of this effect.
You show your hand to your opponent and he puts one of his cards back in the deck. This literally gives your opponent a free Sentinel of the Force (it’s a spell card so good it’s been banned for years).
I love that Konami printed some of these parody cards.
Obviously no one will ever use this card, but it’s ridiculous to look at.
9. Yellow Oyama
I chose Ojama yellow because I think it’s the ugliest of them all.
But you really could have chosen any of Oyama’s cards – none of them stand out!
Everything about this card drawing is hilarious.
The tiny spandex pants he wears, the stance that makes him look like a sack held together by willpower, the huge red lips dripping with saliva – all these elements combine to make one of the ugliest Yu-Gi-Oh cards I’ve ever seen.
Like a real deck, Ojamas has some surprisingly fun strategies.
It’s really a go hard or go home strategy – if you can get all 3 oyamas out at once, you have access to some seriously broken effects.
Otherwise, all you have is a field with a few echoes – and that gets you nowhere.
8. Gearbox
What I love about Yu-Gi-Oh are cards like this, which change the way the game works with strange mechanics.
Transmission Gear completely changes the way battles work:
When your monster fights your opponent’s monster, you and your opponent are forced to play rock-paper-scissors.
If you lose, you get your monster back. If your opponent loses, their monster is returned.
With this trap card, the strength of the monsters no longer matters. And this makes the combat phase much more fun.
You don’t need a powerful attack to beat someone with rock-paper-scissors. So it’s a free game for everyone.
7. D-Boyz
Apparently, the card was designed when the Backstreet Boys were at the height of their popularity and baggy jeans were in fashion.
Wait, that was actually in 2011!
The effect of the D-Boyz is also terrible:
If you flip it, you can selectively summon copies of this type from your deck, taking 1000 damage for each copy. That’s 2000 damage for every 100 monsters that attack!
The funny thing about this card is that it was a secret rarity in the original Photon Shockwave set.
Imagine if you were lucky enough to get your hands on a secret rarity in a booster pack, and it was a D-Boyz.
Not only is it the worst secret rarity in the series, but if you want to play it, you have to get 2 other secret rarities and hope for D-Boyz!
6. Doom Donuts
If I had a coin for every food on this list that would kill me, I’d have two coins. It’s not bad, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Those razor-sharp teeth, those determined little eyes….. I can’t understand how this man can be both scary and charming at the same time?
I just want to know how Konami decided that the next scary monster in the series should be a donut.
5. Spook beef
Did you know that sometimes less is more?
The scent text on this card makes me smile every time I read it.
The spirit of Christmas dinner.
It says everything that needs to be said in one quick sentence and it’s so simple it’s hilarious! This card is actually part of a set of two cards, the other half of which is a cooked turkey.
These maps were released when slinger monsters were still very new and Konami wasn’t sure what direction this mechanic should take.
I must say I wish we had a full set of different meat samples for commuting – but I can dream!
4. Yu-Jo’s friendship
It’s rare to see characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime on real cards:
In fact, there are only 3, and they are all promotional cards from Shonen Jump.
This was the first Yu-Gi-Oh card to require physical interaction between players.
In Yu-Jo’s Friendship, you ask your opponent for a handshake. If they agree, both players have the same number of hit points.
This is such a strange card, because if your opponent has more hit points than you, he can just refuse to share his hand! But that’s not in the spirit of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime – and how can you say no to Pharaoh like that?
3. Overloaded
I can imagine how a certain Konami employee felt during the development of this game.
Although this card is actually pretty good at stopping decks that constantly give attack boosts.
But above all, we feel the passive-aggressive energy emanating from this card.
I hope the staff had a well deserved holiday after this series – they deserved it for making such a nice card.
2. Cold feet
This is my favorite of the parody cards.
Cold Feet is a parody of Cold Wave, an incredibly powerful spell card that prevents both players from using spells or traps during their turn.
Like the other parody cards on our list, this one is too, but much worse.
Cold Feet guarantees that only you can use spells and traps during your turn, while your opponent can do whatever he wants.
If you can think of a competitive application for this card, please let me know right away, because I’m stumped!
It also shows the same Coldwave dinosaur freezing in the snow, which is a nod to the original card.
1. Late Orc
Tardy Orc is the most destructive fourth wall card in all of Yu-Gi-Oh.
The game that came out before this card was called Order of Chaos, and on the cards themselves it was shortened to ORCS.
Fans noted that literally no ORCS in the series was called ORCS!
Konami took note of this outcry and released Late Orc in the next series, in which he was featured as a late-night bus driver.
The official blog states that Tardy Orc was not integrated into Order of Chaos for this very reason!
It goes on 4. Wall that Yu-Gi-Oh is a card game, more than any card or product – and that’s why I think it’s the funniest card in the whole game.
