If we're going by western animation, I have to go with Dogbert from the Dilbert series. As if the idea of a talking dog with a sarcastic attitude wasn't amusing enough, he spends most of the episodes orchestrating catastrophic events which often put Dilbert in some serious trouble. Also, his name is superb.
If anime is included, Ichigo Kurosaki probably takes the win here. A lot of people -- Bleach fans or not -- tend to think he's slightly bland and boring, but I think he's a very interesting character, with a fantastic design to boot.
